The Minions get their own movie in this globetrotting slapstick prequel, centred around their quest to find a new supervillain master.

Minions is a 2015 animated thrilling movie. In Kyla Balda and Pierre Coffin’s direction, Minions starrs Steve Carrel giving the voice for the main character- Gru. Giving the voice for the Minions is Pierre Coffin and it won’t be anything normal or indeed expected.

The film begins in Antarctica where all the minions are discussing how they will find their new leader. This is where the three main characters get introduced. Bob (the youngest),Kevin (who is the tallest) and Stuart (who is a normal minion) and that's where the adventure of finding their leader begins.

Felonious Gru (or simply just "Gru") is the main protagonist of Despicable Me franchise and a minor character from his prequel Minions. His former personality is evil, ruthless, arrogant, sly, egocentric, hateful, tricky and intelligent. A man who delights in all things wicked, supervillain Gru (Steve Carell) hatches a plan to steal the moon.

Gru’s children also named as(Margo, Agnes and Edith) come later in the movie and get adopted. Margo Gru is the oldest of the three orphan girls that Gru adopts. Before she was adopted, she was an orphan horribly treated by Miss Hattie.

The minions are small , yellow creatures who have one or two eyes and bring most of the comedy into the film as they are known as the ‘scene - stealer’ of the movie. They are only about one-third to one-half the height of the character called Gru in the movie and probably in real life. I also started laughing at the moment when I heard the minions singing the Universal theme in their helium-inflected tones.

Minions is a striking and a heart-warming movie and I guarantee that people of all ages will like it so I recommend this film to kids and family.
