Synopsis

Fresh off the worldwide blockbuster success of summer 2024's funniest comedy, Despicable Me 4, Illumination expands its joyful animated universe with a riotous new chapter, featuring all-new characters, in the biggest global animated franchise in history: Minions & Monsters. This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

  • Pierre Coffin
Moviegoers are saying
This ambitious Minions adventure takes audiences on a meta-cinematic journey through film history, packed with references spanning from 1878's 'The Horse in Motion' to modern classics like 'The Matrix.' While the film's encyclopedic movie homages and unexpectedly progressive themes (including suffrage marches and LGBTQ+ representation) delight film buffs and generate genuine laughs, parents are split on age-appropriateness due to adult content that flies over kids' heads.

    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.

    A good movie. Could have been better, but for the hour and a half, it was good enough. An entertaining film. Animation was great as all Minion films are.
