~PLOT~
Minions are small, yellow creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who have only one purpose: to serve history’s most despicable masters. After accidentally destroying all their masters, including a T. Rex, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula, they decide to isolate themselves from the world and start a new life in Antarctica.
By 1968, the lack of a master drives them into depression, so Kevin comes up with a plan to find a new one. Joined by the rebellious teenager Stuart and kid Bob, they arrive at a villain convention, where they compete for the right to be henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, a stylish and ambitious villain determined to dominate the world and become the first female super-villain.
Travelling through New York City, they end up in London, where they must confront a threat to the existence of all Minions.

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters.
After accidentally killing off so many of them – from T. Rex to Napoleon – the Minions find themselves without a master to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he – alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob – ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.
The trio embarks upon an adventure that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind … from annihilation.

The crazy yellow organisms are on the hunt for a new evil boss to serve
The first trailer for Despicable Me spin-off Minions has been released, showing the little yellow organisms setting off on a mission to find their next villainous boss.
Stuart, Kevin and Bob star in the entertaining new film as they head to New York in search of a dastardly master to serve in 1968, 42 years B.G (before Gru).
Dracula, Napoleon, an Egyptian pharaoh and even a T-Rex all prove disappointing as while finding a master is easy, “keeping a master is tricky”.
“Minions have been on this planet for longer than we have, they go by many names – Dave, Carl, Norbert,” the voiceover says. “They all share the same goal – to serve the most despicable master around.
“Without a master they had no purpose, they became aimless and depressed. If this went on much longer, they would surely perish.”
But, as the official synopsis reveals, minion Kevin has a plan and, alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Rob, he ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss.
“The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first ever female super-villain,” it reads.
“They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960’s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.”
