When Agnes continues to fall off her bike the minions set about making her one of their own complete with all kinds of gadgets. Her first journey with it is to the ice cream van but when a man tries to steal it Agnes gives chase.Certainly with the focus on Agnes as opposed to the minions themselves this is another fun little short.The animation quality isn't quite on point especially to the degree of the feature films but is still of a high quality.Perfectly watchable stuff for fans of the Despicable Me universe.The Good:Usual charmThe Bad:Story is a bit disjointedAnimation is slightly underparThings I Learnt From This Movie:I need minions!
"Training Wheels" is not as entertaining as "Puppy", but it is still a pretty solid 4 minutes and a good addition to the "Despicable Me" universe. After the first film, they made 3 short movie and one of them featured the girls mostly and here they did the same after the second "Despicable Me" movie again. I am actually glad about that, because I always found the girls more interesting characters than Gru's new secret agent girlfriend character. The scene with the Minions early on was funny where they attack the bike because it made Agnes unhappy not realizing that they are breaking it even more. This scene is possibly the best to describe Minions. Friendly, loyal, fun-loving, but not very smart. And I also liked the scene where we saw Agnes running after the cone to create electricity. All in all, a good short film and I recommend it.
