what it is about, and so I know that I need to find like a little music to say like, okay, well, there is a Minion who, for instance, is a leader and doesn't want, they've been fired from making films, and that Minion wants to go back to finding like a new boss, but there's our three Minions

who want to continue making a movie.

So there's this argument that's just dialogue-based, that we found a little bit of physical comedy, but it's mostly dialogue-based.

And hopefully you get through the melodies of each character's dialogue that there is a conflict about this and that, and that there is going to be a bridge that's being cut at that particular moment.

No, no.

I mean, in the process of things, it's just me being recorded in slow motion, played back in real time, and that's when the pitch sort of appears, the high-pitched voice.

And as for recognizing different characters, I need to modulate and act, I guess, differently for each character.

Like, we have this Dick character who's...

who's a minion and the minion antagonist uh and he he's stern and and and very uh you know not not really nice sounding obviously every word that comes out of his mouth doesn't seem like a like a compliment and the other guys are more pleading and so it's there's that contrast also that helps out and in the way i i guess i perform uh hopefully and with the animation you get you know what everyone is saying what is what does a screenplay for a film like this look like

It's all written in English.

That's one of the things also we learned.

Because initially, I started writing directly in Minionese, like all the dialogue.

But then we quickly noticed that no one else could read it except us, which was nice and not nice at the same time.

And so in this one, we went directly to English and then went gradually to Minionese as we went to storyboards.

And the script is constantly rewritten for three years up until, I don't know, like four months before the end of the movie.

But it gets constantly tweaked and massaged.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not, it's not really, I'm not sure you go to football directly.

I'm not sure people know Platini anymore.

So it's all about, it's all about, you know, finding a word that sounds Mignonese.
