About 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. 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. www.minionsmovie.com
