Minions Holiday Special

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.

"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.

Santa's Little Helpers... A crate to Miami accidentally falls off a delivery truck in the North Pole. It's the Minions inside the crate and they find Santa's Workshop where they wreck havoc dressed as elves.

Training Wheels... The kids are riding their bikes. Agnes falls off and the Minions workshop a new superbike for her.

puppy... A Minion wants to walk a dog but Kyle is having non of that. A miniature alien ship shows up and it becomes the new dog in the family.

Minion Scouts... The girls have joined the Badger Scouts and the Minions are taken with the badges.

The Minions have packaged four previously seen shorts into a Christmas Special. I've seen them before. I guess the network has to have programming. The problem is that only the first short has anything to do with the holidays. Instead of calling it Holiday Special, they should call it simply a Minions Special and do the whole hour.

First of all this is not a special, let alone a holiday special. There is one short related to the holidays and after that it is just ads and reused shorts that have nothing to do with the holidays. I don't think I have to mention the quality of the shorts. They are bad.

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.
