Minions Gone Wild!

The Minions are adorable little yellow fellows.

When I first saw these little yellow things with legs,

I felt they looked like walking snack cakes; I love snack cakes.

If you appreciate family time together as well as reminding your children how to be good to others, these movies are for those teaching moments. While some people would shy away from villains for their children, these little guys are all about finding the most evil master and pleasing him or her, which makes these movies wonderful teaching moments.

These adorable little guys “all serve the same goal; to serve the most despicable master around.” Go on their search for this master as they go from T-Rex and the Abominable Snowman, to Napolean and many other ‘villians’ throughout history. The movies are creative, funny, filled with adventure and crazy masters.

From the time they come out of the ocean with their little naked yellow persons, to all the costumes the artists could find to cover those tiny hiney’s, these little yellow Twinkie figures are adorable in cave man fur, blue jean overalls, maid costumes, and even striped jail uniforms.

I loved not only the creative costumes, but I enjoyed the music as well. Some of the songs took me back a ‘few’ years and reminded me it’s okay to have fun and enjoy life from a child’s perspective again. I even found myself tapping my feet and bobbing my head to some of those old tunes.

A little info:

If you’re curious as to the reason for 3 of 5 hearts in my opinion, let me say I liked the movie, but the villains and what they represent, just didn’t settle in me the way a good movie should. Yes, it does make for good character building time with the children after the movie is over, but the point that we should have to tell our children what they shouldn’t do especially coming from a children’s movie is a little backward to me.
What I didn’t like about the movie was the idea that children are watching a movie the encourages villain like behavior. Children mimic what they see, some of the information in the videos has potential to entice your children into some of the behaviors of the villains. Of course this is purely my opinion, but it’s something to think about.

Minions in the Kitchen

From cups and bowls to place mats and ice trays, these little guys are taking over our houses.  Here you can find some kitchen items, colorfully displaying the little yellow twinkie like characters.

Who knew we could find things like cups, plates, ice trays, place mats, and salt and pepper shakers with these little fellows on them. When I looked at all the different items, I simply couldn’t believe there were so many things that had minions on them.

From kitchen to bedroom, clothing and shoes, these guys not only made a way into not only our homes, but also our hearts.

Aprons. Seriously?

OMG these are so darn cute.

Those aprons are too much. Wouldn’t that be cute in the kitchen as a matching set or a family set. Everybody cooking in the kitchen with their matching minion aprons on…   Just sayin’


 

ROKU – I have one!

This device has all the movies you can ask for. I think.

Hubby says “It’s easier if you have Roku.”

With Roku, you can get free movies, paid, and subscriptions as well. You pay for the Roku device one time and all the channels are in there for your liking.

Roku even has it’s own channel.

One of the many channels available free, is Netflix. We use Netflix for watching movies and saving money. It runs about $10 a month and you have a choice of many movies. Too many titles for me to figure out in this writing. One of the movies available on the channel was Minions. Watching it at home saves time and money for our particular family. We have all the snacks we need right here which also saves.

We appreciate the technology Roku provides in giving us good service and the ability to keep some hard earned cash in our pockets.

Oh, and if you’re into social media, that’s available to watch on your television screen if you’d like.

So yes, Minions movies and Roku with popcorn, chocolate milk or hot chocolate depending on the time of year, and some other munchies that will provide you all the comforts of movie time and your home.

Go ahead, spoil yourself a little, if you haven’t tried the device small enough to fit in your pocket with all the movie selections imaginable, click on the blue square above. “Power Packed, pocket sized” and get your popcorn ready.

 

Having Minions on Your Socks is totally the way to go to school all year round.

OMG! Minions on socks, yes, it’s too cute.

Kids love socks, heck, I love socks. Add minions to them and I’m thinking you’ll be a total social magnet… did I say that out loud? What I meant to say was your kid will be popular at school, band camp, sports field and well, everywhere.  Okay, so the socks won’t make anyone popular, but they’re so cute.

If you’re a guy, I’m thinking = total chick magnet.

Maybe not, but I know babies and puppies work.

Why not minions?

Minions on the Socks!


Yes, we all need Minions on our underwear

Minions on the Underwear!

Who can resist?!

Okay, now I’m sure they’ve gone overboard; minions on underwear?

Underwear, yes, that’s what I said. From toddlers underwear to grown people drawers, these minions are totally rocking the undies.
