Minions: The Rise of Gru was animated digitally at 2K resolution, upscaled to 4K, and then graded for high dynamic range (both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are included on the disc). The film was framed at 2.39:1 for its theatrical release, and that ratio is replicated here. (There’s a “formatted for IMAX” logo during the closing credits, but it appears that The Rise of Gru was nevertheless shown at 2.39:1 on IMAX screens.) The results show the typical advantages of upscaling at the uncompressed 2K source rather than the user’s end via compressed 1080p Blu-ray, but there are some interesting quirks in this particular case. Fine detail is definitely improved compared to the Blu-ray, but facial textures appear smooth and featureless when seen from normal viewing distances, even when projected on a larger screen. Yet there’s a surprising amount of fine detail to the skin of the characters when examined up close, although that also makes the 2K origination more obvious. It’s a win some, lose some situation. That’s not really an issue with the transfer, however; instead, it’s just a reflection of the way that the textures were lit during animation. The shading is too subtle, so the details don’t stand out as clearly from a distance. On the other hand, textures like clothing and hair are much better resolved; Belle Bottom’s afro and her frilly outfits really stand out. Gru-vy Animation –Join Steve Carell and the directors as they take us through the animation process.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness has still got the crown so far, but the return of the little yellow dudes and their equally little big boss is a close second. Everything builds to an epic confrontation on the streets of San Francisco and it’s a genuine joy to watch.
