Moviegoers are saying

Minions & Monsters transforms into an unexpected love letter to cinema history, cramming references from 1878's 'The Horse in Motion' to 2022's 'Babylon' while accidentally making the Minions progressive icons. Reviewers are delightfully shocked by sophisticated humor that has 6-year-olds laughing at Citizen Kane parodies and parents discovering the Minions as champions of women's suffrage and disability representation.

Here are some of the old movie references I caught in Minions & Monsters (please comment any I missed): • “The Horse in Motion” (1878) • “Dog Running” (1887) • “L'Arroseur Arrosé” (1895) • “Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory” (1895) • “Train Pulling Into a Station”…

this movie got my 6-year-old son to shoot orange juice out of his nose because he was laughing so hard at a Citizen Kane parody. The Minions are no longer my mortal enemies they are now my close personal friends.

closest we'll ever get to a Matt Damon/Ben Affleck biopic. genuinely warms my heart that the minions have really good disability representation for kids. a mnemonic for the old testament minions: only one eye? stuart's your guy tall as the heavens? that minion's…

6.8/10 It’sss a minions movie… like you can’t expect a cinematic masterpiece from a kid’s cartoon. But to be honest, it was fair. It’s no Despicable Me or the first Minions movie; but I think it deserves a watch. It had some good slapstick humor, and some borderline dirty jokes, mixed in with a…

🫎🫎🫎1/2 Great kids film holy moly. This felt like a love letter to Hollywood. Very interesting story with ofc some of the most lovable characters ever. This is by far my favorite minions movie. The pacing felt a little off at times, but regardless it was a fun narrative. I hope to see more…

What a hilarious movie. You cannot go wrong when there are minions on the screen but what a fun idea.Such a cool way to show the behind the scenes of making films. I love how they shed a bit of light on Hollywood in the 1920s.The 3 minions are great. Some parts were much. 8.0/10

This really surprised me with how good the writing is for today’s animated movie and even a sequel one. I really appreciated all the references to classic Hollywood cinema and so many lore explanations for the other Minions and Despicable Me movies, just brilliant and very fun!
