Despicable Me's Disturbing Minions Are The Antithesis Of Pixar

This talking twinkie people clip from the new supervillain film Despicable Me isolate exactly what gives us chills about this film: the minions. Their upsetting cackles and strange hair make us uncomfortable.

The film Despicable Me is about the supervillain Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, and his attempt to remain the baddest evildoer in the world. And these yellow monsters are his henchmen.

Listen to that evil cackle — we want nothing to do with it. It's like two twinkies got rolled around in some hair. Meanwhile, the film itself, with the voice talent from Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Danny McBride, Miranda Cosgrove, Jack McBrayer, Mindy Kaling, Jemaine Clement and Julie Andrews, we're still quite interested in.

Plus the theme song by Pharrell Williams is addictive...
