\n\tYou won\u2019t find Minionese on Duolingo \u2013 at least not yet \u2013 but the Minion language is on everyone\u2019s tongue these days following the release of the franchise\u2019s latest film, \u201cMinions & Monsters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was only fitting to ask the stars of the movie if they had picked up any Minionese skills when I caught up with them Sunday at the film\u2019s world premiere in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n\tCheck out the video above to watch Jesse Eisenberg<\/a>, Zoey Deutch<\/a>, Jeff Bridges<\/a> and Allison Janney trying to speak Minionese.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMinions & Monsters,\u201d the seventh film in the franchise, sees the Minions becoming movie stars in 1920s Hollywood as they team up with Dort, an alien voiced by Eisenberg. Deutch plays Debbie, a suffragette who befriends Dort and the Minions. Bridges and Bobby Moynihan take on the roles of studio mogul brothers while franchise veteran Janney plays Olvia, a museum guide who narrates the movie.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLost my fucking mind,\u201d Deutch told me about getting the offer to be in the movie. \u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of the franchise\u2026for so long. It\u2019s quite fascinating. It transcends language. The idea that it resonates with so many people, and it\u2019s globally beloved, we don\u2019t speak this language but we will all understand it. They\u2019re so cute. They\u2019re so funny. I\u2019m obsessed with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBridges described working on the movie as an \u201cextension\u201d of kids play. \u201cYou\u2019re over at the cool kids house and getting all the cool toys and playing,\u201d the Oscar winner said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d is in theaters now.<\/p>\n
