Minions & Monsters
Directed by Pierre Coffin
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created. From TMDB

It oozes with adoration for filmaking in every frame and contains countless blink and you'll miss it references to movies past and present. Im in love. Sincerely one of my favorite films this year.

My 10 year old and I saw Minions & Monsters and when the Paw Patrol Dinosaur movie trailer came on I said to him “should we go see this?” and my kid was like “are you out of your mind? No!”
neutral · AI labelView post →I've never seen a bad film featuring the amiable Minions; I've never seen a great one either, but the latest, Minions & Monsters, is probably the most enjoyable to date. The yellow creatures head for 1927 Hollywood, where they open a portal to monsters; 3 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/07/28/m...
neutral · AI labelView post →Holy. MINIONS & MONSTERS tickets are on sale now. I'm so excited and nervous. I hope people like it. It's my favorite movie I've made at Illumination.
positive · AI labelView post →Some of the film history lore in Minions & Monsters is insane. I thought it was a bit much when the Minions were shown to have been on the roof of the Pan Am building with Michael Findlay.

I can’t wait until the class of 2040 at NYU has to explain why they decided to go into film studies and everyone’s answer is “I was a big fan of Minions & Monsters.”

positive · AI labelView post →America’s most trustworthy film critics (my children) are back with a review of Minions & Monsters. Honestly, this time their review was less of a review and more of a discussion of film history and the fine points of Minion anatomy. (I’m such a good dad.)
neutral · AI labelView post →You want to hear something weird? The first meeting I had with Chris Meledandri and Pierre Coffin about the movie that would become MINIONS & MONSTERS (in theaters July 1st!) was at a restaurant. At the table next to us? Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, talking about beginning TOY STORY 5.

negative · AI labelView post →MINIONS & MONSTERS is the number one movie on iTunes right now. And it's still in theaters! What a weird time for movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Chris Meledandri revealed to Collider that Illumination’s next film after Minions & Monsters will be an original one, its first since Migration in 2023. Given the studio is currently developing Sing 3, Pets 3, new Nintendo films, and Barbie, this is a relief. collider.com/super-mario-...
neutral · AI labelView post →This is also the second Universal animated film that the BBFC have cut without marking it as such: the recent Minions & Monsters had a "bastard" cut for a U. Presumably both alterations were made at the advice stage, but that's a sneaky copout.
negative · AI labelView post →Given Minions & Monsters is the 7th movie in the Despicable Me franchise it has no right to be as entertaining as it is. It works as it's not weighed down by continuity, it's just a fun tribute to classic Hollywood populated by creatures that might as well be Gremlins who've eaten after midnight.
positive · AI labelView post →MINIONS & MONSTERS is a lot of fun. Making a loving tribute to Hollywood and filmmaking wrapped inside a goofy kids movie is an impressive feat. The "Rosebud" gag nearly made me choke. Long live Dort.

neutral · AI labelView post →Minions & Monsters: a fun time at the movies. I’m not a huge Despicable Me guy but I’m a huge movie guy and all of the meta movie stuff in this one was a ton of fun.
positive · AI labelView post →>Although the first Minions movie had them hibernating in a cave from 1812 to 1968, the interviewer noted that Minions & Monsters establishes that there are multiple tribes of Minions. > >“I was trying to avoid the answer,” said Coffin, noting he’s fully aware of the online theories. > >“So the Minions that we know from Minions 1 were stuck in the cave,” he added. “These ones, I don’t know where they were, but they were not part of the Big History.” Not so clearly, after reading the article.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ll admit I snorted at TikToks of teens gussied up in suits to see a Minions movie. After watching MINIONS & MONSTERS, I understand. It treats kids with the same respect that Charlie Chaplin did their great-grandparents. Subconsciously, fans are returning the favor. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

positive · AI labelView post →Unless Minions & Monsters blows away all box office expectations, this will be the last Illumination film to make $1 billion I think, unless they actually do Super Smash Bros. In the meantime, I expect the next non-Disney $1B animated film to be Ne Zha 3, maybe Shrek 5 next year if it’s good.
