Minions movie’s ENDING CHANGED by Chinese censors

Minions: The Rise of Gru did not exactly please the Chinese.

Social media users in China observed over the weekend that the finale of the popular animated feature Minions: The Rise of Gru had been changed by their censor board for its domestic distribution.

Some fans criticize the alterations because the editing is another instance of how Chinese authorities have altered a well-known Hollywood movie to make it more politically correct.

Weibo, a social media site akin to Twitter, has postings and screenshots from the film that claims the censors added an epilogue in which Wild Knuckles, a central figure in the heist film, was apprehended by the police and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Screenshots from the movie revealed that Gru, a Wild Knuckles accomplice, "returned to his family" and that "his finest success is becoming the father to his three kids."

The movie's two robber anti-heroes, Gru and Wild Knuckles ride out together in the international version after Wild Knuckles faked his own death to escape authorities' grasp.

The update was criticized by many online commenters who claimed it looked like a PowerPoint presentation.
