Pierre Coffin would like a little respect — and maybe an Oscar. So would James, the Minion hero of Coffin’s new movie, “Minions & Monsters,” and they’re both going to go about it in the same way, by making a movie about Hollywood. Flattery will get you everywhere, especially in this town.
Coffin is the French madman behind the Minions, those little yellow guys in overalls that are now ubiquitous. He’s the voice actor, fluent in Minionese (a language he invented, a blend of Spanish, French, Italian, gibberish and various other sounds), and the director of the first four movies in the “Despicable Me” franchise (he was nominated for an Oscar for “Despicable Me 2”).
