Spoilers ahead
Minions are quirky, small, yellow creatures that have existed since the dawn of time, originally evolving from single-celled organisms. Their sole purpose? To serve the most notorious villains throughout history! They have had many masters, including a T. Rex, a caveman, an Egyptian pharaoh, Dracula, and even Napoleon. However, after unintentionally causing their demise, the Minions decide to retreat from society and begin a new life in the icy lands of Antarctica.
As the years pass, by 1968, their lack of a master leads the Minions into a state of melancholy. Fearless Minion leader, Kevin, hatches a plan to find them a new villain to serve. He is joined on this quest by rebellious teenage Minion Stuart and an adorably eager Minion named Bob.
