Training Wheels: Harmless enough stuff

[Platypuschow · 6/10 · 23 June 2018]

When Agnes continues to fall off her bike the minions set about making her one of their own complete with all kinds of gadgets. Her first journey with it is to the ice cream van but when a man tries to steal it Agnes gives chase.

Certainly with the focus on Agnes as opposed to the minions themselves this is another fun little short.

The animation quality isn't quite on point especially to the degree of the feature films but is still of a high quality.

Perfectly watchable stuff for fans of the Despicable Me universe.

The Good:

Usual charm

The Bad:

Story is a bit disjointed

Animation is slightly underpar

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I need minions!

fun short

Agnes has trouble riding her bicycle. The Minions decide to install their special training wheels. When the ice cream truck gets hijacked by a jewel thief, Agnes chases him with her reconstructed special bike. This is a fun four minute short. It is everything about the Minions in a short dose. The chase is fun. It's all fun.

One of the reasons why Despicable Me is one of my favorite animated movies franchises.

This fun animated short, Training Wheels, takes place where Agnes was having huge difficulties with her crummy bike, so the Minions decided to help her out with her bike problems. The Minions made Agnes a brand new bike that isn't crummy like the old one and she went off along with Margo, Edith, and other kids to go get ice cream from the ice cream truck. That is...until a crook hijacked it, so Agnes started going after the hijacked ice cream truck and she pressed buttons that makes her bike go fast, shoots missiles at the hijacked ice cream truck, destroying it piece by piece, leaving the crook flew off the explosion alive and landed on the police car, thus getting arrested. Then at the end, Anges was no longer worried about not getting ice cream, because she can make her bike form her in a super powered mecha suit, so she is basically like Iron Man or Mega Man and it's all thanks to the Minions for helping Anges out. This short is really amazing, charming, and cute. Illumintion is such a good studio, though it's reputation needed some improvements, I just wished Illumination would be great as Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony Pictures Animation, BlueSky, Laika, Aardman, Warner Animation Group, so people would like Illumination. I give this one an 8.5/10

Don't steal Agnes' ice cream

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 30 July 2015]

"Training Wheels" is not as entertaining as "Puppy", but it is still a pretty solid 4 minutes and a good addition to the "Despicable Me" universe. After the first film, they made 3 short movie and one of them featured the girls mostly and here they did the same after the second "Despicable Me" movie again. I am actually glad about that, because I always found the girls more interesting characters than Gru's new secret agent girlfriend character. The scene with the Minions early on was funny where they attack the bike because it made Agnes unhappy not realizing that they are breaking it even more. This scene is possibly the best to describe Minions. Friendly, loyal, fun-loving, but not very smart. And I also liked the scene where we saw Agnes running after the cone to create electricity. All in all, a good short film and I recommend it.

This is one of Agnes' natural gifts.

How come Agnes is fast as Sonic, is she chasing for Robotnik for Ice Cream, what, this short is insane. Agnes the Hedgehog for sure, 6/10, best Agnes short of all time.

Ice cream, agnes and minions - Cuteness overlord

[sisubalan · 7/10 · 29 October 2022]

Huge fan of the minions and their entire collections of movies, shorts and series. This short stick to the despicable me universe. Loving the interaction between humansespecially agnes and the minions. Highly addictive funny scenes, some scifi actions (the last scene reminds me of ironman lol) - entertaining for both adults and kids. Straight forward storyline focusing on building bicycle for agnes ans training her to ride it so that she can chase after the ice cream truck. Great animation style compliment well with the perfect bright tone set up and thrilling sound score. Great voice castings. This happy moment only lasted for about less than 5 minutes - which was very unfortunate (wanted more of this). Highly recommended.

An adorable Despicable Me mini movie

[pokemon_trainer_lucas · 9/10 · 25 June 2019]

This little mini movie is jam packed with emotion and a giggle or two mixed in with it! I felt deeply sad for Agnes when all of her friends cycled off into the distance, leaving her behind, crying on the floor. But, of course the lovable minions wouldn't stand for that! I won't spoil it for you, but let me tell you, you'd be a fool not to watch this mini movie if you loved the Despicable Me and Minions films!

Despicable Me Shorts #2

[ashfordofficial · 8/10 · 19 December 2021]

Inspirational and extremely cute. I appreciate them for making more shorts and introducing new characters and more heartwarming stories. The voice actors did a pretty good job.
