Last week, Alex and I got to enjoy a fun visit with the Georgia grandkids, Bella and Owen, and after lunch in downtown Newnan, we took them to see the new "Minions" movie. Now I didn't know much about Minions, and still don't, except that A) they are odd-looking little yellow creatures and B) Bella and Owen like them. Item B was all I needed to go see the movie, but I was delighted to learn that one of the main characters was voiced by Sandra Bullock and that the Minions got to take a trip to England as part of the plot!
The gist of the story is this: The Minions hook up with bad gal Scarlet Overkill, voiced by Bullock, who covets the Queen's crown. She's always wanted it, and she intends for the Minions to help her get it. As you might expect from anything featuring England, there are lots of fun shots of Buckingham Palace and other popular sites, and I was amused at how many scenes ended up having a teapot or teacup in them. There's even a brief glimpse into a tea room that made me wish I were a Minion! So if any of you have Minions-loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or other little ones in your life, join them when they go see "Minions."

I have not seen it but it's good to know there are things in the movie for a tea - loving adult to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt makes you want to plan a trip to London. Cute movie. My boys enjoyed it. Christy in Tulsa
ReplyDeleteMore reason to check out the movie! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge minions fan - you should see the first and second one, too - highly recommend getting to know them better, so hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNow I am wishing to see it.
ReplyDeleteA vision of a tea room in London - now I movie! Fun.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to see the movie and I'll be trying to count all the tea views. The teapot is so cute, too. I just ordered some Minion fabric to make the little girls I sew for something fun to wear to school. Halloween 2013 saw most of the teachers (me, included) dressed as Minions for our annual school Halloween Parade. I wore an 'eye' made with a mason jar lid painted black in the middle of my forehead, blue overalls and a yellow t-shirt. Fun and quite funny to see us all together!
