Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob decide to find a new master. They embark on a global trip and meet Scarlett Overkill, a female super-villain who recruits them and hatches a plan to take over the world.
Minions is a 2015 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures. It is the spin-off/prequel[a] and the third installment overall in the Despicable Me franchise. Directed by Kyle Balda (in Balda's directorial debut) and Pierre Coffin, produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and written by Brian Lynch, it stars the voices of Coffin as the Minions (including Kevin, Stuart, and Bob), Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, and is narrated by Geoffrey Rush. In the film, the Minions search for their replaceable evil master after accidentally killing all of those in history.
Minions may not have the purposeful plotting of a Pixar film or the wondrous world-building of a work from Walt Disney Animation, but its hyperactive sense of humor and absurdist antics are admittedly amusing nevertheless.
Minions is a great idea, fairly competently executed, that ends up suffering at the hands of its own distributor ... All of the really funny moments that enticed me to come see the flick ended up being ALL of the really funny moments.
