Fans have been left incredibly impressed after watching a video of two voice actors dubbing the Minions for a hilarious scene from the movie.
Italian voice actresses Arianna Craviotto and Stefania Depeppe took to the mic to dub the airplane scene from Minions 2.
While Arianna has worked on the likes of Pokémon and Bridgerton spin-off show Queen Charlotte, Stefania's work includes The Handmaid's Tale and The Intern - very different from Despicable Me.

The incredibly talented duo shared the video on Instagram earlier this month, and fans have been obsessed - with the clip having since racked up millions of likes.
"How do they not crack up the entire time," one person commented on the video, while another said: "Imagine doing this for a living?! I love that."
And a third added: "Such talent we never get to see and who don't get the credit they deserve!"
A fourth wrote: "The number of times I have watched this is unhealthy."
"OH MY GOSH THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN," said a fifth. "Seriously how do they keep from laughing the entire time?!"
The actual voices for the Minions are by Pierre Coffin, who co-directed all the Despicable Me movies, except for The Rise of Gru and Despicable Me 4.
Alongside Coffin, in Despicable Me, Chris Renaud provided the voice for Minion Dave and Jermaine Clement was the voice of Jerry.
Coffin has previously revealed how he came up with the idea for Minions explaining it was a 'complete accident'.
"The Minions came about by complete accident,” he told The Guardian in 2015.
“In the first film, they were depicted as this big army of muscular thugs doing the dirty work of the arch villain Gru and we quickly realised that they were very unappealing and made Gru a totally unsympathetic anti-hero.
“To make him charming, we had this idea that he’d know all of his little helpers by their forenames, even though there were hundreds, and suddenly Gru was sympathetic.
"We then put goggles on them, added workers’ overalls, making them look like these subterranean mole men-type creatures, gave them an increasingly saturated yellow skin tone and then they became the Minions.
"And from that first scene we knew they gave the other characters counter-balance, had great comedic potential and were super cute.”
Coffin also spoke about the Minions' language, adding: “It’s gibberish.
“It’s a mixture of all the languages of the world and it’s about finding a particular magical rhythm and melody that makes the nonsense make sense."
