Crazy Credits

The movie is good for a few chuckles and does have some very entertaining moments. What is actually by far the funniest is the "minion speak"; especially if you understand some french, it does have some layers in it (Papaouté; c'estparlà etc.) and is definitely funny. It also is a very beautiful CG movie. Though it is customary to say that with every new CG movie, this one is absolutely gorgeous, with some great character designs and some cool visuals. But, honestly, didn't laugh all that often. The trailer lets you believe it will be a very very funny movie and was not, it was a cool adventure with some funny characters - left me wanting more. The voice acting was also, with the exception of the minions, nothing incredible.
