It just became a force of nature,” the film’s co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times.

They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master. __【5】__ "Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves," Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, "or an evil version of ourselves."
