New Movie From The Hit Animated Series: "Minions: The Rise of Gru"
This summer, from the biggest global animated franchise in history, comes the origin story of how the world’s greatest supervillain first met his iconic Minions, forged cinema’s most despicable crew and faced off against the most unstoppable criminal force ever assembled in Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement.It’s not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—this unexpected family joins forces. Together, they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute their first missions.
Directed by the original creators of the series, Minions: The Rise of Gru is produced by longtime collaborator Janet Healy and Chris Renaud with visionary Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri. The movie will be released on July 1, 2022!
