Minions: The Rise of Gru
In the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons and pull off their first missions. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles, Gru interviews to become their newest member.
Minions
Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Unfortunately, they are continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters. The Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan. He—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master.

The adventures of Gru, Lucy, and their three daughters Margo, Edith, and Agnes, return to fight a new villain: Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who’s grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the ‘80s, and proves to be Gru’s most formidable nemesis to date.
