Minions
Minions are cute. I find them more funny every time.
After watching Minions for the first time, I wanted to watch Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 but instead I watch the above YouTube video. Boy, they are cute.

My First Encounter with Minions Language
I
am not a big fan of animated movies and which makes obvious that I don’t follow
them. Couple of weeks ago, I visited my sister where I happened to watch this
movie, MINIONS. I know, I know, this movie is a year old (my 8 year old niece
told me) and I watched it just recently, with her. Of course, it wasn’t first
time for her watching that movie but it was for me and yeah, I came to know
about minions language.
I
know what minion looks like; I have seen them before, here and there, TV
commercials and stores. They are yellow in color and cylindrical in shape. All
of them wear goggles. I find that strange. Why? Why do they all have to wear
those goggles? In the movie, it is shown that they originated in the ocean and later
came to land and they were already wearing goggles. And I don’t understand
why??
Assuming
the movie was in English language, I sat there to watch. But no, the whole
movie wasn’t in English. The narration was in English; all the characters were
speaking English except minions. Minions are the main characters and I don’t
understand what the fudge are they speaking. The minions language was gibberish but I was laughing
when they speak. Their facial expressions were amazing.
With
little Internet digging, I came to know that the language of the minions is
called Minionese.
This language, also known as banana
language, is the fusion of languages from different countries over the
world. The only words I managed to grab from what minions said in the movie were
‘banana’ and
‘buddies’ because they are English words. The rest was animated sounds with the
expression and tone that just made me laugh.
My
niece introduced the protagonists of the movie to me, the three main minions:
Kevin, Stuart and Bob. Kevin appears to be the leader of his tribe and he seems
to be taller among others. He is responsible and takes care of others. Stuart
is happy and carefree soul. He plays his ukulele and sings and eats bananas. He is a
rockstar. And bob, he is baby in the
trio. He has a big heart and loves his friends. He always carries his toy teddy
bear, Tim.
I
agree with my niece that only the minions make us laugh, other characters are
there to fill the little gaps in the movie. When the movie ended, my cheeks
were hurting. I hadn’t expected to laugh that much at the beginning of the
movie. Now I am planning to watch this movie again along with Despicable Me and
Despicable Me 2, as I have learned what minions speak. Also I find these yellow balls
interesting.
