Minions & Monsters
The Minions stumble into 1920s Hollywood and accidentally unleash real monsters while trying to make their own creature feature. It is squarely in the franchise's playful wheelhouse: lots of slapstick chaos, warm friendship themes, and humor that lands for the whole family.
Great for kids who already enjoy the Despicable Me and Minions films; most comfortable from age 7 up, with a parent alongside for sensitive 5- and 6-year-olds.
