Imaginative freedom is the key to unlocking this colorful world of sound. Composer Heitor Pereira shares that what he found comfortable when working with the Illumination team at Universal was the freedom to create the sound for MINIONS. “I looked for music that could create colors for the little creatures,” he confided.
Heitor Perera has been a key part of the creative team since Despicable Me. Kyle Balda, one of the two directors behind the film, said that Heitor Perera's music is "as eccentric as the minions themselves."
The director also did not spare praise for the composer and his collaborators, commenting that “in the world, there are probably only 5 people who can do this”. During the process of making the sound, Heitor Perera revealed that everyone tried to sing like the minions. All the parts were strange minion words like “tomato”, “banana” instead of Latin.
“If I sit down and imagine myself holding my wife and kids’ hands and happily going to see the movie, I think that’s the feeling I need. It’s great. It’s great,” Heitor Perera emphasized when talking about the melodies he created for the movie.
