The Three Stooges meet 60's Music

Minions!!!
Three Stooges meet 60's music. Really simplistic plot (if any) that likely will put off adults. This is not Despicable Me, Wall-E or Incredibles, it is more of a classic cartoon - fun but pointless. Frenetic enough comic action for little ones. Enough rude & crude stuff for older kids. Great soundtrack of 60's music for grandparents (with a really disturbing but funny performance of "Hair".). There are many slow parts that I guess are directed at adults, and I was surprised my theater full of toddlers didn't get bored during those.
None of the families with kids stayed through the credits, missing out on the "cast" party set to The Beatles "Revolution" - loaded with (as the Muppets put it) cheap 3D gimmicks. Unlike Wall-E there was no visual action through the credits roll to keep anyone's attention, which is a shame because the post credit madness was well done fun.
I give it a B-. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.
