First Minions Trailer Brings The Chuckles

Meet Kevin, Stuart, and Bob.

They’re the new stars of ‘Minions’, Universal Pictures’ ‘Despicable Me’ spin-off which looks set to be a huge hit when it comes to cinemas next year.

They’re on a mission to find a new despicable master to serve, travelling from Antarctica to 1960s New York then London, as they face a threat that could bring an end to Minionkind for good.

Both ‘Despicable Me’ films have proven to be huge hits at the box office, with the gibberish-spouting Minions a definite highlight of both films so a spin-off was inevitable, and it should help fill the time while we wait for ‘Despicable Me 3’ which is coming to cinemas in 2017.

Here’s the synopsis: 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.  Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without someone 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 a thrilling journey 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.

Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda.  Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.

'Minions' is coming to cinemas on 26 June, 2015.
