What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

The Minions have had lots of adventures with villains since the dawn of time– Napoleon, the Pharaohs, Dracula, even a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Unfortunately, they have a nasty habit of clumsily killing off their masters and they eventually find themselves without an evil overlord to indulge. That is until plucky Kevin, Stuart and Bob meet Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first female super-villain, hell-bent on stealing the Queen’s crown jewels and wreaking havoc in 1960s London. But she may also leave the Minions facing a danger unlike any they’ve encountered before. This wild, bonkers spin-off from the Despicable Me films is packed full of physical and verbal humour, vibrant animation and a bucket-load of silliness.
