Review: Minions Holiday Special

 

Overview (Recap of Shorts)

Santa’s Little Helpers

The Minions stumble on to Santa’s workshop and join the elves in helping assemble some of the toys that Santa brings to the kids. Unfortunately, the yellow crew aren’t good at anything and instead are relegated to scraping shit off of the reindeer barn floor. It doesn’t take long, but the Minions release the reindeer just in time for Santa to show up.

Training Wheels

The Minions come across a girl named Agnes learning to ride a bike, but she doesn’t have training wheels, so they begin her training so that she can be the best trike rider on the block. The little girl leaves after a few modifications and soon takes on some asshole robbing a jewelry store in her souped up bike that helps apprehend the suspect AND gets her ice cream.

9/10

 

Puppy

Everyone in town is having a good time walking their dogs with the exception of the MInions, so they opt to fix that. The fix is in the form of a “dog” that is no ordinary animal. Instead, this is a robot with lasers and other mechanical features not normally seen on a canine. When we learn of the robot’s origins, the Minions opt to return the little guy from whence he came. In return, the Minions get a giant lady bug.

9.5/10

 

Minion Scouts

The Badger Scouts are in training and so the Minions opt to join the squad. Like usual, the little guys can’t complete any of the objectives required so as to earn their badges and instead make quite a mess of things. After the Minions get some badges, the Badger Scouts now have to welcome the rest of the species.
