Overview
The video presents a short, animated music video featuring a crossover between the Duolingo owl and Gru from 'Despicable Me'. It opens with a math problem '6 + 7', which is nonsensically answered with 'PAPOY', a Minion term. The video then cuts between scenes of Gru dancing with Duolingo owls dressed as Minions, a large crowd of these characters, and a rocket launch, all set to a repetitive, high-energy song about the equation.
