Minions: The Rise of Gru

Synopsis

In this latest addition to the Despicable Me franchise, the Minions are ecstatic to have found the ultimate Big Boss to assist – although he is still rather a Mini Boss! At the age of 11 and three-quarters, Gru is already an aspiring super-villain and dreams of joining the coolest 1970s criminal gang: the Vicious 6. But when his interview to join the evil bunch goes pear-shaped and he is kidnapped by none other than gang’s ousted leader, Gru learns that even an evil mastermind needs loyal friends. Desperate to save him, the Minions must also learn to channel their inner wackiness – with the help of a Kung Fu Master. Bursting with slapstick comedy and eye-popping action sequences, this prequel to one of the most lovable antihero animations is full of fun references for both young audiences and grown-ups.
