Minions manages to capture the nostalgia of the franchise’s previous films, but still make it have its own story. An irate Scarlet seeks revenge and the Minion’s must find a way to prevent certain doom. Just like with their past employers, the Minions manage to mess it up when Bob accidentally stumbles upon power and becomes the new King of England. In order to gain employment for the rest of their friends, Kevin, Stuart and Bob are tasked with stealing Queen Elizabeth’s crown (Jennifer Saunders). They managed to gain employment with her and are flown back to her headquarters where they meet her evil genius husband, Herb Overkill (Jon Hamm).

By complete chance they stumble upon Villain-Con, a convention where all the baddest villains gather to showcase their talents. where they are quickly enthralled by the fast paced, 1960’s lifestyle. The trio travel from their frigid home all the way to the U.S. The ukulele playing Stuart is tricked into going and the young, but determined, Bob goes as well due to no one else wanting to. As the years passed though, they had no purpose and became eerily depressed.įed up with the situation, a brave Minion named Kevin decides to go out into the world to find their next boss, but needs help. After their most recent failure, they hid away in an icy cavern where they were happy for a time. As a scene in the montage of previous leaders suggests, the Minions were Napoleon’s downfall and not the Russians.
They love they’re job, just one problem they consistently mess it up through a slew of accidents. Their whole sense of purpose revolves around serving the biggest, baddest villain out there. The film starts off with a montage of how the Minions went from single-celled organisms to the lovable, yet chaotic creatures people know and love.
