How Pierre Coffin Built the Minions’ Voice and Minionese

Pierre Coffin reveals the Minions’ squeaky voice is his own voice pitched up six semitones and recorded in slow motion, a method that began during Despicable Me as ad-libbed gibberish and evolved into Minionese, a playful, evolving language mixing Italian, French, Spanish and other words chosen for melody rather than meaning; he uses special software to preserve pitch and tempo, has kept the voice in-house to maintain the language’s feel, and even after stepping back from directing he returns for projects like Minions & Monsters while expanding the linguistic repertoire across films.

The June 2026 Persona 4 Revival broadcast reveals three big changes: a visual upgrade with a larger, more dynamic Inaba and revamped UI and level-up screen; a reworked combat system adding Baton Pass-style chaining along with new Send Flying and Prime Time mechanics to ease MP management; and fully voiced dialogue with a new cast plus localization tweaks that align more with the Japanese text, potentially nudging humor changes that may disappoint longtime fans while offering a more engaging Social Link experience.

Capcom’s Pragmata used a ‘Diana Police’ to perfect its young heroine’s innocence

Capcom’s Pragmata development team formed a female group nicknamed the Diana Police to review Diana’s childlike innocence, guiding motion capture and voice acting so she feels natural rather than contrived; the Japanese voice actress was told to avoid being overly cute. Capcom noted women are better at spotting such “cunning” cuteness. Pragmata sold around 2 million copies by May, and a sequel remains a possibility.

Hasbro Unveils Sixth Wall, an AI Studio to License Its Iconic Characters
