It is in a funny and joyful atmosphere, like these little yellow beings with glasses and overalls, that the festival-goers found themselves in the large hall of Bonlieu, this Monday evening, June 13, for the ceremony of opening of 46e international animation film festival. The team of Minions 2: Once Upon a Time Gru took the stage, before the world premiere screening of the film. ” The story of me, me and naughty started in Annecy, and it’s normal I think we’re here tonight for this new film”, declared Chris Meledandri, founder and CEO of the Illuminations studio, before inviting the rest of the team (except Pierre Coffin , absent) to go on stage. After the applause, the “Rabbits” and the flying paper planes, it’s time for the Minions to put on a show!
