Kinda crazy that this is a better love letter to cinema then whatever babylon was.
While its immature, i think its appropriate that of all animated franchises that the minions (somewhat) dive into 1920s cinema because they are the closest animated characters rn to that era of specifically comedy. Like sure it has a dogshit story but i don't think they even tried and i shouldn't care because its for kids and it still delivers some killer gags and slapstick. Especially when floyd is involved. This isn't some grand film and i think its somewhat sad this is better then half the films i've watched this year but its fun.
It does have a lot of mistakes when it comes to film making in the 1920s but i also can excuse it when the minions are for womens rights and have a mirror towards the time period about how stars get easily dumped and how the language barrier was huge, even now.
Minions & Monsters
Hollywood has a monster problem.

90 minsOverview
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rollicking, tongue-in-cheek romp through a fictionalized Hollywood golden age where mischievous Minions bumble their way into stardom, then chaos, armed with infectious energy and anarchic humor. It's a love letter to early cinema wrapped in slapstick mayhem and heartfelt redemption.
