Tulalillo Ti Amo.
Minions Comes To New York in a New Clip
The MINIONS New Trailer – Facing Scarlet Overkill
Minions Are Masterless, Jobless and Selling Bananas
Gru who is an ex-supervillain in the movie is trying to adjust to family life with his 3 little girls and building up an honest jam business, But far away in a secret Arctic laboratory is stolen and it is a gadget of wonder or a gadget from the movie Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. The Anti-Villain League decides it needs an insider’s help to catch the thief so they recruit Gru in the investigation.
Together with the eccentric AVL agent, Lucy Wilde and what a character she is, Gru concludes that his prime suspect is the presumed dead supervillain, El Macho, whose his teenage son is also making the moves on his eldest daughter, Margo. If you have seen the movie then you must love the dance Gru did at the Cinco de Mayo party at El Macho’s house.
He was overprotective of his children and his growing mutual attraction to Lucy, Gru seems on the wrong track even as his minions are being quietly kidnapped en masse for some evil purpose and what a lovely evil purpose was it. It was like Smurfs on Asteroids.
Directors of the Minions movie Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda recently talked about the movie and about the Minion language, with their imagination and some research they are able to collect words from all the world and from all languages and used them to create the Minions’ own unique way of speaking, which is a language now in its own right and loved by millions, It is the most fun sounding language ever.
In another interview directors said that they imagined the Minions as being able to work for super villains all around the world and not just normal kind of super villains but Bond level of super villains, so that gives them global appeal and make them attractive to everyone and how spot on they were, they truly created something wonderful from the color to their bodies and to their language, Minions are loved all over the world and not just by their beloved evil master.
Directors explained the origins of Minion language:
“We sort of established that these guys have been around, like, forever, serving masters all over the world and it gave us some sort of license to pick words here and there … Funny words, like in the Korean language, Chinese, Italian and Japanese language and mix everything up to make this very special language, It is called the Banana Language!”
Despicable Me was directed by Chris Renaud, it was the first movie which introduced the world to the Minions and world was the same since then, Chris Renaud recorded most of the language and it was because of his hard work and experimenting with various foreign words that the language sounds so amusing and authentic in the movie.

You can find translations of certain Minionese words in Google Translator:
The Minions also mix in English words including and not just oriental languages “OK,” “potato,” “idiot.” and “What?”
Best Buy designed an app for Despicable Me 2 claims to translate the Minions’ scene during the closing credits.
Minions were saying things like:
“You’re going down, skinny boy.”
“In your face! I can hear Twilight in the next theater. Team Jacob rules!”
“Sir, you’ve made a mockery of our noble contest.”
A fan or budding linguist will match the translation to the words the Minions are saying in the movie and find patterns and meanings the directors themselves didn’t even know were there in the movie, this is some devoted fan of the language!
