Summaries

Plot Summary

Minions are small, yellow pill-like creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who have only one purpose: to serve history's most villainous bosses. They successfully find great masters, including a T. Rex, a caveman, an Egyptian pharaoh, Dracula, and Napoleon, but after accidentally executing them all soon after, they decide to isolate themselves from the world and start a new life in Antarctica.By 1968, the lack of a master drives them into depression, so fearless lead Minion Kevin comes up with a plan to find a new one for his Minion-kind. He is joined by rebellious teenage Minion Stuart (who unwittingly was selected) and lovable kid Minion Bob (due to his begging) and lack of volunteers).After a long journey, the Minions arrive at New York, where at a shopping center on TV, they learn about Villain-Con, a villain convention where super-villains from around the world gather, which is to be held in Orlando, Florida. They manage to hitch a ride to Orlando, where coincidentally, the family who drove them are criminals heading to Villain-Con as well. After seeing various super-villains, they finally become the henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, the world's first female super-villain.Scarlet takes the Minions to her residence in London, where she instructs the Minions to steal St Edward's Crown from Queen Elizabeth II for her, threatening to execute them if they fail. With the help of the weapons of Herb, Scarlet's husband, the Minions successfully break into the Tower of London, However, the crown has already been delivered to the palace. The Minions steal the crown from the Queen's carriage, destroying the carriage in the process, while pursued by the police. In the process, Bob crash lands on the mythical Sword in the Stone, where he pulls the sword Excalibur out easily to defend himself. Elizabeth is then removed from the throne, and Bob is crowned as the new King of the United Kingdom.Convinced they are traitors, Scarlet confronts the Minions, attempting to execute them, then she craves her revenge. King Bob eventually abdicates in Scarlet's favor. However, Scarlet ultimately betrays the Minions, locking them in the palace dungeon where they are to be tortured by Herb, although this backfires due to their unusual shapes and abilities. When Herb goes to attend his wife's coronation, the Minions escape the dungeon through a sewer, intending on apologizing to Scarlet.At Westminster Abbey, the Minions accidentally interrupt Scarlet's coronation by unscrewing a chandelier, which falls and crushes Scarlet before she could be crowned. Scarlet orders the attendees of the coronation, some of which are super-villains, to execute the Minions. Stuart and Bob are captured while Kevin hides in a bar, where he finds Elizabeth working there. After learning that Scarlet is going to execute Stuart and Bob, Kevin breaks into Herb's laboratory, where he triggers a machine which turns him into a giant and destroys the Overkill residence. Simultaneously, the rest of the Minions in Antarctica encounter a few Yetis. The Minions begin to work for the leader of the Yetis, but once again accidentally kill their leader when a piece of ice falls on his head, causing the remaining Yetis to pursue the Minions in anger. The Minions travel around the world, eventually landing in Britain.Kevin rescues his companions from execution as the army of Minions arrive in London. Scarlet is distracted by the army of Minions and Kevin knocks her away, however the super-villain attempts to escape with Herb using her dress rocket. Before escaping, Kevin is able to hold onto her rocket, seemingly killing her and Herb and shrinking himself back to his original size.Elizabeth is once again crowned Queen of the United Kingdom and, in front of a crowd, presents Bob, Stuart, and Kevin with their rewards: a tiny crown for Bob, an electric guitar (later replaced by a snow globe) for Stuart and a knighthood respectively for Kevin. Scarlet is suddenly revealed to be alive and snatches the Queen's crown with Herb, but she is stopped and frozen by young Gru. Scarlett is disappointed until Bob gives her his tiny crown. At the end of the film, the Minions see Gru as their new potential boss and chase after him, setting up the plot for Despicable Me.

Storyline

Ever since the dawn of time, the Minions have lived to serve the most despicable of masters. From the T-Rex to Napoleon, the easily distracted tribe has helped the biggest and the baddest of villains. Now, join protective leader Kevin, teenage rebel Stuart, and lovable little Bob on a global road trip. They'll earn a shot to work for a new boss, the world's first female supervillain, and try to save all of Minionkind from annihilation. — Universal Pictures The "revolutionary" minions: Kevin- the leader, Stuart- the rebel and Bob- their lovable little brother left the "Minion Tribes"- which have served their ex-masters, from the famous dinosaur T-Rex to Napoleon the Great; and went seeking for a new "master". Finally, their journey ends in London after being recruited by a female super villain named Scarlet Overkill and her husband Herb in Orlando, who wanted to rule the world. Now, the three minions must face a new challenge: saving all of the Minion tribes from a huge plan of Minion annihilation. — Gusde Upon not being able to satisfy their core duty of serving an evil master, three minions, Stuart, Kevin & Bob set out from their Antarctica base to the USA in search of a master. By sheer chance they get to visit the Villain Con where they get a chance to impress the meanest Villain of all, Scarlett Overkill. — PipingHotViews Defined by their poor taste in bosses, the Minions, banana-yellow little creatures, exist only to serve the most villainous leader they can get their hands on. However, when the tiny beings eventually find themselves without a purpose after a long string of ill-served masters, an entire tribe has to pin their hopes on three intrepid volunteers to discover their new lord. And rumour has it that Scarlet Overkill, an infamous international baddie and the first woman in the trade, is the one. But is Scarlet what the minions have been waiting for all their lives? — Nick Riganas
