Pierre Coffin

I'm saying Joe Lipa also, by the way, like at the very beginning of the movie.

Yes, it is altered and it's altered by me because I heard what people did in all these different countries and I asked them to stop doing it because it felt like a...

Like they were not understanding the process properly.

And so what happens at the end of each movie is that I apparently I say a lot of swear words like in different languages.

So all these different countries tell me that I shouldn't not say that.

So I have to find like alternatives because somehow I name things.

unnameable body parts here and there and, you know, whatever.

And then I spent two other weeks just saying words appropriate to each country where, like, plot points.

Like, in this instance, I have the Minions say a lot, a big boss, big boss, because, you know, they're searching for their ultimate boss all the time.

But in South American countries, they prefer that I say, like, grande jefe, grande jefe.

So I have to do...

All that in all these different languages, except Chinese because I really can't Chinese.

That's called retro engineering because we did Despicable Me and we sort of discovered that the minions were working for this character Gru in that first movie.

And so we found it with Brian Lynch, my co-writer, we found that it'd be funny to have them create this mythology of them wanting to

to always serve the most evil master they could find.

And we established that with the first Minion movie as a short opening credit sequence where we see these yellow little cells following this black cell, which is clearly eating all the other ones.

And then we go from there and show the evolution of them

yellow creatures following, you know, the bigger and baddest creatures.

Oh, my God.

It never occurred to you?
