Panic in the Mailroom

This little short movie started out as harmless fun in the mailroom, but suddenly, things start to go wrong very quickly. With the adrenaline building, it's only in the final 30 seconds that you finally feel relief that things have returned to normal. But then, it suddenly leaves you realising that the Minions are actually in even bigger trouble than they could ever have imagined, and it ends on a cliff-hanger! What a funny, clever little mini movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I love Minions but they have become major cashgrab territory from cheaply made products to masses of mini-movies that simply aren't very good.

Thankfully it's not all like that and Panic in the Mailroom is a nice surprise and fun little short.

Excluding credits we're talking about 4 minutes in length and it tells the quick tale of two minions in the mailroom and the craziness that takes place when one turns into one of those frenzied purple minions we saw in one of the movies.

It's madcap, it's silly and it has the charm of the features so I personally enjoyed it.

Again its only 4 minutes long so blink and you'll miss it but among the shorts this is certainly one of the better ones.

The Good:

Feels like it's "Official"

Fun stuff

The Bad:

Nothing really

Things I Learnt From This Short:

I want to see a purple minions movie, is that wrong?

This short tells the story of two minions working in the mail room. Panic occurs when one of them transforms into a monster.

Minions are supposed to be cute and funny, but this one is too dark and gruesome for my taste. It is not funny, and in fact is disturbing.

An accident in the mailroom turns a Minion into a Monster. The other Minion is horrified at first but finds good use for the Monster Minion. I like Monster Minions. I would have liked a better and funnier way to turn the Minion into a Monster. The box of kittens gets a little dark although the callousness of letting your friend turn into a monster is also a little dark.
