    What is this Minion stuff?

    Admittedly I don't have any kids or family members 3-8 years old but went to Christmas toy shopping and there was entire rows of yellow people. I googled the movie and it grossed $1.5 Billion. Is this wildy popular among kids or something?

    Yup. They are a spin-off from Despicable Me, an animated spoof of a supervillain and his minions who ends up having a change of heart due to some children. I saw it in the theater and seemed to be the only one who wasn't laughing at the antics of the Minions, thereby proving I am officially old.

    But, yeah, I don't get 'em.

      I can't help it. I love the Minions. It's silly and childish, I know, but sometimes I need that...

        We love the Minions at our house too. The solo movie wasn't nearly as good as the other films, but still fun. They work better as supporting characters.

            Not just w/ kids, as my good friend loves them as well, but I don't get the appeal, either.

              I agree with that. I like the Minions too and think they are super cute but they work better with Gru than having their own movie.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                I'm sure if my daughter liked them, I would too. But she doesn't, so I don't.

                  Never heard of them before this thread but just googled them.

                  Don't know their backstory but they are drawn pretty cute
