Los Angeles, June 26 (IANS) Actress Sandra Bullock says she decided to do “Minions”, a spin-off of the “Despicable Me” series, for her five-year-old son.

It’s been 17 years since Bullock last starred in an animated film, lending her voice to Moses’ sister Miriam in “The Prince of Egypt”.

Asked about her decision to be a part of “Minions”, Bullock said: “My son.”

“I wanted to do something that he could see, that I was in,” added Bullock, who has an adopted son called Louis, reports bbc.com.

She gushes that her son loves physical humour and animation, and because she loves to hear him laugh, joining “Minions” was a no-brainer.
