Bananas!

If you are like my family, you fell in love with Despicable Me. However, you wanted more of the Minions since they stole the show. They were amazing. If you ever wondered how they came to be, that's where the prequel Minions comes into play! The Blu-ray^™ Combo Pack and Digital HD also come with three all-new mini-movies and even more Minions everyone will want to watch again and again especially during the busy holiday travel season!

The Minions start at the beginning of time as single-celled yellow organisms. They evolve serving the most despicable of masters —from T. rex to Napoleon— until they find themselves without a master. OneMinion named Kevin has a plan, and 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 embark upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in ‘mod’ London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation. Yes, this movie is as fun as it sounds!
