'Despicable Me' Director Rejects Idea of Live-Action Minions Film

Chris Renaud emphasizes that the animated format is essential to the franchise's unique appeal and humor.

Renaud believes the animated world allows for creative freedom that live-action cannot replicate.
He has not been involved in any discussions about a live-action adaptation.
The 'Despicable Me' franchise has grossed over $5 billion, making it the highest-grossing animated series.
Renaud is joined by Pixar's Pete Docter in opposing live-action remakes of animated films.
'Minions 3' is scheduled for release on June 30, 2027.
