Kaulitz Twins Voice Roles at Munich Premiere of Minions & Monster

Their high-profile casting underscores pop-star cross-promotion for a long-running Minions franchise that critics say is showing creative fatigue.

Overview

  • The Germany premiere took place at Munich’s Mathäser Filmpalast on Sunday as Bill and Tom Kaulitz promoted Minions & Monster ahead of its July 1 release.
  • Both brothers are confirmed as the German voices of Goomi and Dort and said they each recorded both parts and could request changes during dubbing.
  • Tom Kaulitz made his dubbing debut while Bill drew on prior voice work when helping his brother with timing and performance.
  • Promotional activity included Bill’s appearance at Munich’s Christopher Street Day and a lighthearted TV moment when an RTL reporter’s armband snagged in Tom’s hair.
  • The film, set in early Hollywood and featuring Christoph Waltz as a director character, opens July 1 and has prompted commentary that the 15-year Minions franchise may be running low on fresh ideas.
