![]() ![]() The fact that she gets kidnapped and has to be saved by Gru at the end might be considered problematic, but it seemed more a function of the story than relying on the old damsel in distress trope.Īll in all I give this movie a big ol’ thumbs up and think it’s great for all kids, especially little girls who are looking for potential role models out there. This is a refreshing change from the badass hero trope that we tend to see in characters like that. She’s a pretty great spy who’s also pretty goofy. I was also a big fan of Lucy Wilde and not just because I like her name. Margot specifically goes through her first heartbreak which I thought was handled well without getting too serious for this kind of movie. The three girls offer a great variety of characteristics and even though they’re not necessarily the focal point of the story, they do have some great scenes. In addition to the fun and action I found myself really enjoying how the female characters were handled in the movie.

The names of all of these Minions are so ordinary in comparison to their out-of-this-world personalities. In this new film, Gru gets recruited by The Anti-Villain League, an organization along the lines of Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. While the first film focused on evil scientist Gru moving from the dark side to the light while also governing a huge number of tiny little monsters known as Minions and adopting three sisters named Margo, Edith, and Agnes. I remember liking the original just fine and Lu seemed to dig what she saw on TV not long ago, so it seemed like a good call.

Many other Minions are mentioned by name in the films and other media in the franchise. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are three of the most familiar minions, who appear as stars in the film Minions (2015) and its sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022). The Minions serve as the official mascots for Illumination, and have also been described by The New York Times as "corporate icons" for Comcast in the years since their 2013 purchase of Illumination's parent company NBCUniversal similar to Mickey Mouse for The Walt Disney Company, Bugs Bunny for Warner Bros., Woody Woodpecker for Universal Pictures, SpongeBob SquarePants for Paramount Global or Mario for Nintendo.
