Minions & Monsters (2026)
Minions & Monsters finds our favorite little troublemakers in 1920s Los Angeles, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, where new Minions James and Henry set out to make their own epic monster movie. But when they cast real monsters, things go hilariously awry.

Minions (2015)
Minions is the Minions' origin story. As the first standalone Minion-centric spin-off movie, directors Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda go all the way back to the yellow creatures as single cell organisms to show how they crawled out from the primordial muck looking for an evil prehistoric master. Though Minions is set mostly in the late 1960s, audiences get to see how they grew into the lackeys they are today, under the guidance of supervillainess Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock).

Despicable Me (2010)
The film that kicked off a beloved franchise finds supervillian Gru (Steve Carell) and his loveablly loyal Minions plotting to steal the Moon, as supervillians are wont to do. But not even a supervillian as esteemed as Gru knows how to contend with the three little orphan girls who want to make him their dad.

Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Set a year after the events in Despicable Me (2012), in this direct sequel, Gru (Steve Carrell) is a fully committed girl dad and a reluctant reformed super-villain working with the Anti-Villain League (AVL). When the Minions become a target for mutation, Gru has to help them and fight the bad guys, Doctor Nefario (Russell Brand) and El Macho (Benjamin Bratt). There’s no direct connection from Minions & Monsters to Despicable Me 2 outside of seeing how their past influences their continuing dopey choices as terrible, but very funny, assistants.
