However, they are still nice in their own way to their own species and to their master. Kevin, Stuart and Bob are normally polite Minions, who are actually meant to act loyal to their master because the three were meant to act like henchman to them. But for these minions, Kevin is the tallest minion with two eyes, Stuart is medium sized minion with one eye and Bob is a small minion, with two eyes as well. Just like the rest of the Minions, they appear as cute, little yellow creatures with one or two eyes. 3.2 88th Academy Awards (aka Oscars 2016).Following a premiere at the Annecy animation festival in France this week, the movie will hit theaters in the States on July 1st. Originally scheduled for release in July 2021, ‘The Rise of Gru’ was shifted by Illumination and Universal to avoid the continued closure of cinemas due to the pandemic. The ‘ Despicable Me’ franchise (which expands to five movies with this latest entry), has earned more than $3.7 billion at the worldwide box office so far, and seems likely to keep rolling for a few years yet. Kyle Balda, whose previous directorial career includes the first ‘Minions’, ‘ Despicable Me 3’ and various short films featuring the characters, is back at the helm here, with ‘Simpsons’ veteran Dan Ableson and ‘ The Secret Life of Pets 2’ Jonathan del Val as co-directors. Nefario and Pierre Coffin, who as usual voices the Minions. In addition to them, the cast also includes Michelle Yeoh (as a character called Master Chow, a kung fu practicing acupuncturist) and RZA, and the returning likes of Julie Andrews (playing Gru’s mother, Marlena), Russell Brand in the part of Dr. Henson as Belle Bottom, Jean-Claude Van Damme as Jean Clawed, Lucy Lawless as Nunchuk, Dolph Lundgren as Svengeance and Danny Trejo as Stronghold (yes, we know that’s five - Wild Knuckles was the former sixth). The Vicious 6 is made up of a legion of famous folk, including Taraji P. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles himself, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. It doesn’t go well (no shock there), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles ( Alan Arkin), Gru interviews to become their newest member. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto - a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please - deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with weapons and pull off their first missions. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal followers, the Minions. And he’s the biggest fan of supervillain supergroup the Vicious 6, with a plan to become evil enough to join them. Picking up a few years after ‘ Minions’ (which you may recall ended with the creatures meeting Gru in his younger days) this new movie is set in the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans. It’s only once we’ve gotten through a whole sequence of infight madness that the trailer cuts back to Carell’s Gru and his adventures. Naturally, things do not go well in a way that would probably make Tom Cruise’s Maverick cringe. So, the new trailer for ‘ Minions: The Rise of Gru’ naturally goes big on the pill-shaped nuisances here, for some reason at the controls (and working the aisle) of a plane. Steve Carell might be a “name” and his character’s name might be in the title, but Illumination and Universal know that the chattering Minions are the real draw for audiences, who love the little yellow troublemakers.
