Animated double bill of feature-length spin-offs and prequels to the 2010 hit 'Despicable Me'.
'Minions' (2015) shows that throughout history - and before Gru - the Minions have served many a despicable master, including Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula. Having contributed to their masters' downfalls through a series of mishaps, the Minions find themselves living in Antarctica with no one to serve. A number of years pass and it isn't until 1968 that dispirited Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob (all voiced by Pierre Coffin) set off to New York City to attend a villain convention and find themselves a new master. Here they meet the ambitious and dastardly Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) who, with the help of her husband Herb (Jon Hamm), plans to take over the world...

Together with his loyal Minions, he builds his first lair and experiments with weapons.
