#51852 — Minions are Python Powered!

Everytime I watched the minions from Despicable Me something was hitting my unconscious mind. Finally I figured it out... Minions are Python Powered!

I couldn't resist to make an image :)

"The Dropbox website requires JavaScript."

Why the hell does some site need to run code in my browser just to 
display a JPEG? That's rubbish.

What's even more rubbish is that Dropbox's 404 Page Not Found tries to 
set a cookie that doesn't expire for FIVE YEARS.

I haven't even seen either of those movies (though have seen those characters in their advertising) and despite that, upon seeing your image, was unable to do anything but smile really hard.  Killer job!  Brightened my day.

This statement might be more true than you realize.

I can't speak for the tools Blue Sky uses for their films, but when the
studio I worked at created the "Minion Mayem" ride for Universal Orlando we
used a number of tools that relied heavily on Python for everything from
character rigging to rendering and compositing.

I think it would be fair to say the Minions (and most animated characters
these days) are quite literally "Python Powered".

BTW, great image!
