Screen rant is pleased to present an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip celebrating his release at home Minions: The Rise of Gru, which will be available digitally on August 30 through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Set after 2015 Minions (which itself was a precursor to Illumination Despicable me movies), the latest film in the franchise follows young Gru (still voiced by Steve Carell) in the 1970s as he tangles with a super-villain group known as the Vicious 6.
This is where the titular creatures come in Minions: The Rise of Gru, as they are determined to help their “Mini Boss” champion his cause even as he ignores their initial attempts to save his skin. The story splits its time between the Minions and Gru himself, serving as a perfect bridge between the previous film and the original trilogy. Despite pandemic delays that pushed back the film’s release date, it proved the staying power of its lovable yellow leads by raking in over $800 million at the global box office so far.
Universal is now ready to bring that success home, with the upcoming digital and physical release of Minions: The Rise of Gru. IN Screen rantIn its exclusive clip, the cast and creators reveal how they handled the film’s ’70s aesthetic. After all, the Minions may be eternal, but they still do their best to blend into the time period they occupy. Director Kyle Balda, along with co-directors Jonathan Del Val and Brad Ableson, explain which iconic fashion pieces were most prevalent in their minds when it came to character designs. Watch the full clip below:
Carell adds his personal memories of ’70s fashion and hairstyles, which of course played into Gru’s look in the film. Vicious 6 also had a lot of flair in keeping with the time period, and the directing team has a good laugh about what was in fashion then versus what has fallen out of fashion now. But like the Minions themselves, the 70s always come back to being cool.
