What is Minions & Monsters about?
When a washed-up monster-movie studio's back lot gets overrun by an actual creature, the Minions stumble into the middle of a decades-old Hollywood feud between rival horror auteurs. What follows is equal parts monster-movie parody and backstage caper, as Gru's tiny yellow helpers try to save the picture, the studio, and possibly the world — mostly by accident.

Minions & Monsters Review: Illumination's Love Letter to Hollywood Horror
★★★★☆
The Minions crash a monster-movie lot in the year's most affectionate animated comedy — funny, fast, and surprisingly sincere about classic Hollywood craft.
The best Minions movie since the original — ideal family viewing with genuine cinephile Easter eggs.
