During the golden era of 1920s Hollywood, a unique tribe of rambunctious little yellow Minions inadvertently conquer the film industry with their mischievous antics. But when the industry rapidly shifts from silent pictures to "talkies", the Minions face a chaotic challenge: audiences cannot understand their gibberish language. It's now up to aspiring filmmaker Minions James and Henry to save their cinematic ambitions by attempting to make the ultimate monster movie – by accidentally summon real mythical creatures.

Directed by franchise creator Pierre Coffin this lively animated prequel marks the seventh – and best yet, if critics are to be believed – entry in the Despicable Me universe. Boasting a star-studded voice cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Christoph Waltz and Jeff Bridges, Minions & Monsters will delights audiences with a clever, nostalgic tribute to the magic of movies.

However, after a tragic turn of events threatens to send him to a juvenile detention centre, Ricky escapes into the wilderness. Accompanied by his grumpy foster uncle Hec (Neill), the mismatched pair become the targets of a nationwide manhunt.
