The animation is colorful and eye-popping as in all the previous outings. It’s more important to ask whether it respects children and thankfully, Minions: The Rise of Gru understands the assignment. When judging these films or any movies aimed at a younger demographic, it’s easy to just exclaim “it’s a kids’ movie” and grade it on a curve based on this statement. As tiresome as they can be they have endearing qualities that make them fun to watch. And to be fair, these characters were never high-brow entertainment.

Clocking at under 90 minutes, the plot moves at a sprinting speed and if one blinks, it’s possible to miss how characters landed in various circumstances. They make jokes, get into trouble, and in this sequel, there is an abundance of Minion butt cheeks. And of course, high jinks ensue with the banana-loving companions stooging it up at every turn. This prompts his yellow energetic friends to devise a plan to rescue Gru from the clutches of his kidnapper.
