The thing I’ll always respect about Illumination is that they’re the last major American animation studio still making really cartoony features. You can maybe make an argument for some of Sony and Pixar’s efforts, but really think: who else in mainstream western animated cinema is doing anything like The Minions? Suffice it to say, this film is a great example of that. This one movie has more genuinely funny slapstick and carefree silliness than any of this decade’s animated films combined. What’s more, it doesn’t try to force any heart into it. Even last year’s Looney Tunes feature, The Day The Earth Blew Up, tried too hard to have emotional moments between characters as silly as Porky & Daffy. Minions & Monsters doesn’t bother with any of that pretense, and that's a good thing.

>>154611965I agree with the sentiment, but why the mention and comparison with TDTEBU?
>>154611965You're correct in all of this.
All the criticisms people have against Illumination boil down to these people being the “animation is cinema” types who feel threatened when a studio makes something for kids.
>>154612711They just need to show a minion having a realistic panic attack and those types will fold.
>>154612711Made even stupider since the "animation is cinema" crowd avoid adult and foreign animation like the plague.
>>154612722>minion having a realistic panic attacksounds hilarious
>>154611965No.
>>154612687Not ALL of it.
>>154614839What's the wrong part?
