I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cro Minion is one of the longer and better of the Minion short films.It tells the story of two prehistoric minions left to babysit a cave child and the chaos that causes.Yes it's predictible but it's exactly what you'd expect it to be.It looks great, it has all the usual minion charm and delivers on every front.Essential viewing for fans of the Despicable Me universe.The Good:Very well animatedThe usual charming stuffThe Bad:Nothing reallyThings I Learnt From This Short:Minions make terrible babysitters

"Cro Minion" is a 5-minute animated short film from last year and the title already gives away that this is another very short movie starring Pierre Coffin's Minions with the intention that we won't forget these little yellow creatures until the third "Despicable Me" will come out in summer next year. This one here takes place during the age of dinosaurs and the minions end up in charge of a little Neanderthal boy who turns out to be quite a pest. In order to avoid violent punishment from his dad (who is off hunting) the gang needs to make sure he is fine, which becomes especially difficult when a flying dinosaur steals away the kid and flies off with it. But the Minions would not be the Minions if they weren't creative and chaotic enough to bring him back with their very own approach and ideas. Still I must say this little cartoons was not really that funny unfortunately. Here and there was an okay moment, but I did not feel all that well entertained and it seems to become increasingly difficult to construct good stories around the bunch. This one here, I do not recommend. Luckily, it was really short.
