Goals matter: Having a big goal can help you accomplish big things. Gru's goal was to become the biggest criminal mastermind in the world, and that kept him focused. It is easy to lose focus, and having a solid goal, something to keep in mind and focus on helps with that. Goals provide clarity and focus.

Ideas to discuss with your children Despicable Me 3 is the third movie in the series featuring ex-villain Gru. It's a funny and fun action adventure. It's very silly and has laughs at every level, so it can be enjoyed by adults and children. The main characters are all very likeable, even the villain.

Minionese The Minions speak Minionese, sometimes called “the Banana language”. Minionese is what's known as a constructed language – or “conlang”. Conlangs are often a feature of works of fantasy and science fiction.

Felonius Gru Felonious Gru, or Felonius Gru, referred to simply as Gru, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Despicable Me film series. Voiced by American actor Steve Carell, he has appeared in all five films in the series.

The country in which Dru lives and from which Gru originates is the fictional European country of Freedonia. This is the same name as a similar fictional European country in the The Marx Brothers movie Duck Soup (1933).

While the films don't explicitly specify Gru's nationality, his accent, and cultural references suggest that he is of Eastern European descent, with a possible accent resembling a mix of Russian and Eastern European accents.

Life will be always hard and boring. Just break the dull drudgery of your working pattern and be silly to entertain yourself and others. The minions taught us that there is nothing wrong doing weird things. They wear a hat made of fruit, and hula dancing to pass the time.

Gru, the pointy-nosed main character voiced by Steve Carell, is of unknown origin but carries a thick eastern European accent. Because of that accent, when he says "girls," it sounds like "gorls." And he says it a lot because of his three adopted daughters.

Ideas to discuss with your children There are also some scary characters. Because of these violent and scary elements, Minions isn't recommended for children under five years. We also recommend parental guidance for children aged 5-8 years, particularly those who might be disturbed by the violent and scary elements.

Some minions are also transformed into animals, but they're small and cute and far less frightening. In addition to the violent scenes and scary visual images mentioned above, Minions: The Rise of Gru has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 5-8 years.

But in truth, the vernacular of minions is not an actual language. For the sake of the movies, words from English, French, Italian, Spanish, Hindi, and Bahasa Indonesia are taken and mixed to create the words you hear minions speaking.
