Despicable Me Presents: Minion Madness



10 minutes and 45 seconds of cartoons sold at the price of a full DVD movie!
My grandson wanted to see this as he loves Despicable Me and the minions. We thought this was going to be a lot of fun to watch with him. There are three cartoons on the disk and they are cute and hilarious. Then the fun stops!

Home Maker is 3 minutes and 52 seconds long.
Orientation Day is 3 minutes and 35 seconds long.
Banana is 3 minutes and 18 seconds long.

That does not include the credits after the cartoons or the commercials before the cartoons start. There are commercials to sell your children more movies that are longer than the minion cartoons. Universal should be embarrassed to sell something like this. It is titled as 3 MINI MOVIES and it should have been called 3 MICRO MOVIES.

There are some games on the disk that you can play with your DVD controller and but they are pretty bad. Save your money and don't get this. While it is cute it is not worth $1.34 per minute!

Rip Off
Duration 12 minutes. one must read the fine print on the very bottom of the packaging on the reverse. Universal should be ashamed. Im not one that normally complains but this was too much.

Very cute but not worth the purchase price
Well, if you can find this for $2 or less, it may be worth it. The "shorts"--which you can hardly call "mini-movies" are cute and entertaining--BUT ALL THREE mini-movies TOGETHER run about a total of 12 minutes! I happened to find this at the grocery store for $6.99--and yes, I snatched it up without looking at the running time. It does say on the back in about 4 pt. font size that the running time is 12 minutes, but had I seen that, I would have assumed they meant each mini-movie was 12 minutes in length. My six year old daughter and three year old boy both love Despicable Me, (and so do I), so I only feel mildly ripped off... lol... we'll enjoy this, but usually if I'm putting on a DVD I expect to be able to sit back and relax for a while.
