The Minions Continue Having Fun

The decision not to giveDespicable Me 4a traditional end-credits scene is standard for this franchise.The movies have rarely utilized a proper post-credits sceneto tease future sequels, spinoffs, or prequels. Instead, the Minions jokes and gags are more than what audiences expect to see during the credits of thebestDespicable Memovies. The very first film’s credits included the Minions attempting to reach through the screen.Despicable Me 2’s credits then showed the Minions auditioning for theMinionsprequel movie.

Even thoughDespicable Me 3did not include any special footage during its stylized credits sequence,Minionsshowed the Minions following and copying Gru, building off the ending.Minions: The Rise of Grudid include a post-credits sceneearly on of Gru and the Minions recruiting Nefario and getting his recognizable plane. The gags shown inDespicable Me 4’s credits are not nearly as important as that moment, with the franchise instead returning to the types of scenes included in the earlier entries.
