Minions & Monsters (U)
Very funny and with a gag every few seconds, this is the slapstick, ridiculous and totally joyful, roller-coaster true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood.
You'll want to watch this more than once to get all the jokes and laugh at them all again.
We meet two new faces from an entirely new tribe of Minions, misfit heroes Henry and James who, together with their friends in the distant past, search far and wide for an evil master to serve.
Eventually they reach the 1920s, and wind up crashing a Hollywood film set. Their brief and accidental appearance on camera pays off and, before they know it, the Minions are bona-fide movie stars.
They don't make great actors though as they can't follow the script when all they speak is Minionese and soon they find themselves roaming the streets of Hollywood looking for a new, villainous purpose.
But Henry and James have a different plan: they have fallen in love with making movies, and want to be part of the Hollywood dream. With the help of a spellbook they summon some fearsome monsters to play the villains in their movie.
This is a love letter to cinema, slaptsick comedy and storytelling, so enjoyable you'll be giggling all the way through.
