Just got of minions with my son. Dude there was 2 girls there in there mid 20s that were overalls, yellow shirts, and the the thick horn rimmed glasses

Obviously there are some weirdos which are the exceptions.


I dunno. I follow old row and Barstool U accounts and a lot of college age frat boys are going to see this. Some dressed up as minions, some in full suit and tie.

I’m sure it’s being done ironically somewhat.

I am curious if it’s a bit of nostalgia that toy story is for millennials. Kids that were 6-10 are in college now so it kinda lines up.

Based on the advertisements Minions is also light on the pandering and political messaging.

Seems pretty close to the kind of funny family entertainment that generally appeals to a wider audience.
