Why people love it

People revisit Minions for the same reason it broke through in 2015: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a animation rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Kyle Balda keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The family and animation blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
