Puppy

Okay... this was adorable. Cool storyline involving minions and aliens as a pet or puppy in this case. This focused on a minion (i believe it was dave) getting a puppy after watching the neighbours walking down the road with their own puppies. Great interaction with gru and the kids. Great comedic and scifi scenes. Very cute and i believe both adults and kids would enjoy this a lot. Great animation style by the illumination as always - clean and smooth flow. Great voice castings, song choice and sound edfects - suit the bright tone of the short. Highly recommended for everyone even if youre not a fan of the minions.

I found this short movie really heart-warming, especially as I can relate to the feeling of being desperate for a puppy and not being able to have one. When the minion finds an alien that he can love just like a puppy, they form an unbreakable bond. It gets a little bit emotional when the end comes along, but not necessarily in a bad way! I loved this little short movie, and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Despicable Me and Minions franchise.

A Minion notices that everybody is walking their dogs and tries to find his own pet. He comes upon an alien spaceship and takes it as his puppy. This Minion short takes a weird detour. It doesn't really tie into the franchise but it has the same tone. It would have been better to have a bee as the puppy and be followed by a swarm of bees. This is fine but it's an outliner.

So touching and heartwarming. At the end of each shorts there's an emotional moment with lots of depth and integrity. There's no wonder why children adore these shorts so much!

I'm not ashamed to admit I like Minions, I've enjoyed all the Despicable Me films and am now indulging myself in the Minions shorts which thus far have been very hit and miss.

This 4 minute Minion tale tells the story of a Minion who wants a puppy, when an alien comes down to earth he considers it a suitable alternative.

Clearly with influence from Batteries Not Included (1987) this is a sweet heartfelt little tale that about half way through I figured I wouldn't like as I saw the finale being sad. Thankfully it's not, it ends on a high note and even features Gru himself.

Very enjoyable fun little effort and I wish all the Minion content was this good.

Oh and I'm 37yrs old and DON'T JUDGE ME!

The Good:

Sweet story

Looks good

The Bad:

Tugs on that particular heart string I don't like tugged

Things I Learnt From This Short:

I can't promise I wouldn't do deeply inappropriate things with that englarging ray
