Oh, those Minions!

Oh, those adorable Minions who never speak a word anyone can understand...!

The Pyramid of Giza has been stolen! Yup, apparently in this universe of super villains, it is possible to steal a pyramid. The real one has been replaced by an inflatable one (and no-one noticed this). Anyway, besides the fact this is as silly as can be, the point they're trying to make, is the fact there are super villains.

Our protagonist villain is Gru, a genius inventor, who has hundreds of little yellow Minions working for him. Gru now wants to outdo the villain who stole the pyramid - by stealing the moon! A shrink ray is capable of shrinking objects (yes, even the moon). But Gru's arch enemy and fellow villain, Vector, also wants the shrink ray, and he, too, wants to steal the moon.

With no means of gaining access to Vector's fort, Gru seizes the moment when he notices three orphan kids selling cookies, being allowed into the fort. So he decides to adopt the girls. Little did this supper villain realize these three girls would be able to steal his heart.

What follows is a heart warning story of love and affection, discovery, and emotion. This is a wonderful story young and old can relate to. The animation is great, and those minions will have you crying with laughter. They are show stealers!! Oh, you gotta love this movie! This was fabulous.
