The Minions will be available on Prime Video from February 1, 2025 and on Netflix from February 16, 2025.

Synopsis: Originally simple, single-celled yellow organisms, the Minions have evolved over the ages in the service of masters each more despicable than the last. The repeated disappearances of these masters, from tyrannosaurs to Napoleon, have plunged the Minions into a deep depression. But one of them, named Kevin, has an idea. Flanked by Stuart, the rebellious teenager, and adorable little Bob, Kevin sets off in search of a new evil boss to guide his people. Our three Minions embark on a thrilling journey that will lead them to their new master: Scarlet Overkill, history's first super-villain. From Antarctica to 1960s New York, our three companions finally arrive in London, where they face the most terrible threat of their existence: the annihilation of their species.

The Minions is aimed at families and children aged 6 and over, as well as adults who appreciate offbeat humor and cultural nods. This film will appeal to fans of the other installments in the Despicable Me universe, as it delves deeper into the origins of the cult characters. With its 60s references, varied settings and absurd situations, it may also appeal to fans of inventive animation and visual comedy. However, those looking for more subtle humor or more serious plots may not find what they're looking for here.

In the tradition of films such as Shrek and L'Âge de Glace, Les Minions blends eye-catching visuals with outrageous adventures that capture the attention of young and old alike.

The film was a huge success upon its theatrical release in 2015, amassing over a billion dollars in worldwide box office. The Minions' popularity, already immense thanks to the Despicable Me saga, was boosted by this prequel, which solidified their place in pop culture. Their unique language and playful appearance continue to seduce generations, making this film a must-see.

Blending wacky adventures and universal humor, The Minions is an animated film that has everything to please families in search of entertainment. With its renowned voice cast and colorful universe, this comedy promises to captivate young and old alike.
