When all else fails, you can count on the Minions. Since the little yellow mischief-makers debuted with 2010’s Despicable Me, they have been like printing money for Illumination Entertainment and Universal Studios. And now they’re back again with the third movie in their spinoff franchise, Minions & Monsters, which hits theaters on July 1st.
Minions & Monsters is set years prior to 2015’s Minions and 2022’s Minions: The Rise of Gru, and follows their attempts to make a monster movie in 1920s Hollywood.
The film is directed by Pierre Coffin, also the voice of the Minions, from a script by Coffin and Brian Lynch.
Also in the voice cast are Trey Parker, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Allison Janney, Bobby Moynihan, Phil LaMarr, Christoph Waltz, and Jeff Bridges.
SYNOPSIS: Minions & Monsters, the third prequel in the Despicable Me franchise, is described as the “rambunctious, ridiculous, and totally true story of how the Minions conquered 1920s 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.”
Despicable Me has earned a massive $5.4B across six movies, giving Universal all the reason in the world to keep them coming for as long as audiences want them. They aren’t showing any signs of slowing down, either.
