Survival Guide: What is Minions? – BFMTV.COM

Banana? Papple? If you do not laugh, it’s no child was taken by the hand to go to the cinema Despicable Me 1 and 2. Or for watching short films on YouTube . You are therefore completely missed the meaning of life, on one hand, and small yellow chick creatures who jabber a funny volapük the other. The Minions.

So far simple stooge of Gru, hero of Despicable Me Naughty , the Minions are now entitled to their own feature film in theaters Wednesday. Up session for adults

& gt. They say Minions or “Minionz”?

Those who treat you because you pronounce snob “minionz” American not entirely wrong. The Minions are essentially French creation. They have been devised by the two co-directors of Despicable Me , the French Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud American, the artistic director of the film Eric Guillon and French animation studio Illumination Mac Guff

& gt. Where do they come

They are an army of little workers, the wicked service – finally not so bad – Gru (voiced in French Gad Elmaleh), Despicable Me ( Despicable me ) in 2010. Naive, tender, schoolboy, clumsy and greedy, they became the hero teasers second album, released in 2013.

“At first, the Minions were trolls,” explained Pierre Coffin in Télérama in November 2013. “It was the robots in the first storyboards, kind R2D2 “, ensured his side Chris Renaud (the creator of the crazy squirrel Scrat acorn Ice Age ) in 2010.

“At first, I drew small workers, with a small blue overalls, a little like Santa’s helpers,” recalls meanwhile Eric Guillon, artistic director. For the Minions are a collective idea. “It was the characters that appealed to us, very cretins who understand absolutely nothing, doing stupid things,” says Pierre Coffin.

& gt; They speak as what language

a bit childish A funny pidgin, which borrows words to several languages ​​- French, English, Spanish, Italian – so Esperanto. “J” found out that the Italian and Spanish sounds great stuck to their yellow color! There are also some Indonesian and some Japanese. And then invented words course! “Says Pierre Coffin in Point.

” The difficulty is that They speak no language. We could not afford to make a film with fully onomatopoeia, otherwise scare people. How do these creatures at the center of a feature film and to ensure that people identify with them? The challenge was there, “he pointed at the Annecy festival, where the film was released in preview.

If they do not mean anything, the lyrics are adapted according the country. For example, at the end of Despicable Me 2 , the Minions show I swear , a tube of the boyband 90s, All 4 One, becomes in their mouths Underwear (underwear) in English, but The toes in French. It was Pierre Coffin himself making the voices of the Minions. It records replicas slow and his voice is then trafficked into the studio and re actual speed, which seems so accelerated. In The Minions , they are 899.

& gt; Tons of references

This explains the success yellow critters and two Despicable Me (respectively 3 and 4.4 million entries in France) is that parents will also find lots of references. If the gun fart Dr. Nefario laugh all generations (useless to deny), some winks ( Star Wars Bruce Lee, James Bond, Body Snatchers or The Love Boat ) are especially the happiness of the greatest.

The Minions , whose history lies mainly in 1968, is also so full of musical references. Thus crosses the Who, the Kinks or Lennon and McCartney in the trailer. The good fairies were already working on the soundtrack of the two Despicable Me , in the person of Pharrell Williams. The artist has signed most of the pieces of two albums, including the famous Happy .
