They phone the rest of the Minions to get them to join. At the convention, they see Scarlet Overkill, an incredibly famous and popular supervillainess who unexpectedly hires them and takes them to her home in London. The next day they manage to hitchhike a ride with the Nelsons, a family of thieves. In 1968, the three journey to New York City, where they end up in a department store for the night, and accidentally discover a hidden commercial broadcast for villains advertising Villain-Con, a convention for all villains and supervillains in Orlando, Florida. To regain their dignity and sense of purpose, a minion named Kevin recruits two Minions called Stuart and Bob, setting out to look for a new master. They are driven into isolation after firing a cannon at Napoleon while in Russia and start a new life inside a cave, but after many years, the Minions become sad and unmotivated without a master to serve. Minions are small, yellow creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from yellow single-celled organisms into beings which exist only to serve history's most evil masters, but they accidentally end up killing all their masters-including a Tyrannosaurus, a caveman, a Pharaoh, and Count Dracula. A sequel, Minions: The Rise of Gru, is scheduled to be released in July 2022. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it was a solid success at the box office earning $1.159 billion worldwide, and became the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2015, the 10th-highest-grossing film of all time, and the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time during its theatrical run. Minions debuted in London on June 11, 2015, and was released in the United States on July 10. Directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, written by Brian Lynch, and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, the film stars the voices of Coffin as the Minions (including Kevin, Stuart, and Bob), Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, and is narrated by Geoffrey Rush.
It is the spin-off prequel and the third installment overall in the Despicable Me franchise. Minions is a 2015 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures.
