[…] For me personally, not very appealing.
[Animation] allows us to get away with what we get away with, Renaud explained.
I think it just becomes something completely different if you do a live-action version.
Locking a Minion in the vending machine, or blowing up Gru when he attacks Vector.
These are really cartoon ideas, like what would have been in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
