Minions Holiday Special

"Welcome to the "Minions Holiday Special." Starring the Minions in four mind-blowing Mini-Movies; Puppy, Minion Scouts, Training Wheels and Santa's Little Helpers."

Illumination just transformed into another one of those soulless corporate blood suckers. Featuring four critically acclaimed shorts (two each from 2013 and 2019) with a cover of "Holiday Special" to mask how greedy and incompetent they are. They only made this to advertise their stupid theme parks and mediocre non-Despicable Me films.

The movie itself is worth a 9 or 10, but having a narrator is odd and unnecessary. Being on Hulu brings it down a notch also, due to the excessive volume of the commercials and the insufficient volume of the show to match. There are too many streaming services to choose from to put up with that.

As others have mentioned, this is far from a "holiday" special. It's four previously released short films that the editors slapped together to fit a 22-minute prime time slot on NBC. At least the first film was actually holiday themed - the rest of them had nothing to do with Christmas (one was about Cub Scouts and took place in the SUMMER). At the very least, there was some fun Minions holiday animation sprinkled throughout this thing, as well as some themed Secret Life of Pets and Sing animation. But if you're looking for something Christmasy to watch with the kids, this really isn't it.

The woman doing the narration was also really bad.

This is a pathetic attempt at a money grab. It's repeats of old shorts interspersed with ads. Yup it's that bad.
