Minions in search of a master
View(s):
‘Minions’ latest Hollywood animated movie, a prequel to the Despicable Me franchise, tells the story of Minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob who are recruited by Scarlet Overkill, an incredible villain who, alongside her inventor husband Herb, hatches a plot to take over the world. The film will be released at Majestic Cineplex on July 24.
Directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin the film stars Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm and Michael Keaton as the Minions. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continually unsuccessful at keeping these masters – from T. rex to Napoleon – the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression.
But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he – alongside teen-age rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob – ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first super villainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minion kind…from annihilation.
