New ‘Minions’ Trailer: Discover The Origins Of Everyone’s Favorite Yellow Bad Guys
Pretty much everyone knowsMinionsis going to be a big hit. The wild, yellow characters are incredibly popular with kids and adults alike, so the fact they’ve got their own movie hitting theaters this summer is a slam dunk. At this point, it comes down to one thing: is the movie good? If it isn’t, the film will still be a success. But if it is good, it could be one of the biggest animated films of all time. TheMinionsare that well-liked.
A new 3-plus-minute trailer obviously can’t speak to the film’s quality, but it can speak to its scope (very big), its humor (silly, with an adult edge) and its voice cast (incredibly impressive). The film is set 42 years before the events of the firstDespicable Me, which pretty much makes it a period piece, too.Minionsopens July 10, watch the latest trailer below.
