Minions (2015) (original) (raw)

Minions are small, yellow creatures who have only one purpose: to serve the most ambitious villains. After accidentally destroying all their masters, they start a new life in Antarctica. By 1968, the lack of a master drives them into depression, so they set out to find a new one. At a villain convention, they compete for the right to be henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, who wants to become the first female super-villain.
