The movie, a spin-off of the "Despicable Me" franchise,
focuses on the small yellow minions before they met Gru in the
original film.
Here the minions find themselves at a loss after accidentally
killing off their evil masters. Three of them, Kevin, Bob and
Stuart, eventually set out on a journey that will see them
recruited by the villainous Scarlet Overkill, voiced by Bullock,
who has her eye on Britain's crown jewels.
"It's fantastic because she's justified, she's misunderstood,"
Bullock said on the yellow carpet at the film's world premiere
in London on Thursday.
"She's an 8-year old little girl who's throwing temper tantrums
because she wants what she wants. But it was really fun to play"
the Academy Award winner said.
Despite her long career, the "Gravity" and "Speed" star said she
found it difficult to maintain energy levels when locked alone
in a sound booth.
"It's hard because I like having other actors to play off of or
other minions to play off of and I didn't have that," she said.
"So you really discover a lot of what you don't know, you really
rely on the director and the whole team that's behind that sort
of glass partition to help guide you."
The 50-year old said "Minions" may be her last voice role.
"It was so hard and I don't think it's my forte," she said. "I
don't think I'm as good at it as other people are. And if it
worked out, great, I think this might be the last time."
"Minions" opens in UK cinemas on June 26 and in the U.S. on July
10.
