I'm not ashamed to admit I like Minions, I've enjoyed all the Despicable Me films and am now indulging myself in the Minions shorts which thus far have been very hit and miss.This 4 minute Minion tale tells the story of a Minion who wants a puppy, when an alien comes down to earth he considers it a suitable alternative.Clearly with influence from Batteries Not Included (1987) this is a sweet heartfelt little tale that about half way through I figured I wouldn't like as I saw the finale being sad. Thankfully it's not, it ends on a high note and even features Gru himself.Very enjoyable fun little effort and I wish all the Minion content was this good.Oh and I'm 37yrs old and DON'T JUDGE ME!The Good:Sweet storyLooks goodThe Bad:Tugs on that particular heart string I don't like tuggedThings I Learnt From This Short:I can't promise I wouldn't do deeply inappropriate things with that englarging ray

We join this short and find a minion cleaning Gru's windows (with a hidden Van Gogh in the suds) and admiring the neighborhood dog owners happily walking their pets down the street.After being rejected by 'Kyle', a pigeon, a squirrel and a ladybug, his search for a pet of his own takes an odd turn.I was maybe a little disappointed by the second Despicable me movie,,, this 4 minute short actually made up for it. It almost gives me hope that they can pull off a stand-alone Minion movie.A sweet, simple tale of a minion and his 'puppy'. This the best of the 3 mini-movies by a mile.
