Minions 2015 Official Trailer

Minions are small, yellow 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 despicable masters. After accidentally destroying all their masters, including a T. Rex, a primitive, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula, 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 Kevin comes up with a plan to find a new one. A rebellious teenage Minion named Stuart volunteers to join Kevin by accident, while a kid named Bob joins by begging Kevin, who thought he was too young.

The Minions arrive at New York, where they learn that Villain-Con, a villain convention where supervillains from around the world gather to search for henchmen, was to be held in Orlando, Florida. They manage to hitch a ride to Orlando. Coincidentally, the family who drove them there were criminals heading to Villain-Con as well. The Minions were impressed by some of the villains, including a sumo wrestler and an aquatic supervillian called Frankie Fish Lips. In the end, they attempted to become the henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first female supervillain. Hundreds of audience members rushed on stage to participate in Scarlet’s challenge, but they were eliminated easily by the supervillain. Amidst the confusion, Bob wins the challenge by swapping Scarlet’s ruby with his teddy bear, Tim. Scarlet declares the Minions her new henchmen.

Scarlet takes the Minions to her residence in London, where she instructs the Minions to steal St Edward’s Crown for her. Through a bedtime story, Scarlet threatens to kill them if they fail in their mission. With the help of Scarlet’s husband Herb Overkill’s weapons, the Minions break into the Tower of London successfully, but the crown was already delivered to Queen Elizabeth II. The Minions steal the crown from the Queen’s carriage and are pursued by police. Bob crash lands on the mythical Sword in the Stone, where he pulls Excalibur out easily to defend himself. Elizabeth is removed from the throne, and Bob is crowned King of the United Kingdom.

Scarlet confronts the Minions, calling them traitors. King Bob eventually abdicates in Scarlet’s favor. However, Scarlet betrays the Minions as well, locking them in the palace dungeon where they are to be tortured by Herb. The medieval torture devices fail to work on the Minions because of their unusual shape and abilities. When Herb goes to attend his wife’s coronation, the Minions escape the dungeon through a sewer. Along the way, they steal a funeral wreath and write an apology note for Scarlet on it.

At Westminster Abbey, the Minions accidentally interrupt Scarlet’s coronation by breaking a chandelier, which falls and crushes Scarlet before she could be crowned. Scarlet orders the attendees of the coronation, some of which are supervillains, to kill 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 giant, destroying the Overkill residence.

Simultaneously, the rest of the Minions in Antarctica encounter a few yetis. The minions began to work for the leader of the yetis, but once again kill him by accident. The remaining yetis pursue the Minions in anger. The Minions escape the continent and, after much trouble, get on a plane to Britain.

Kevin rescues his companions from execution. Scarlet attacks Kevin with missiles but misses every shot. The army of Minions arrive in London and gathers on the street to see Kevin. Scarlet is distracted by the minions and Kevin knocks Scarlet away. The supervillain escapes with Herb using her dress rocket, but Kevin holds onto the rocket, causing it to explode. Kevin is shrunk back to his original size and lands safely using his still gigantic overalls.

Elizabeth is once again crowned Queen of the United Kingdom and, in front of a crowd, presents Kevin, Stuart and Bob with their rewards. Bob is given a tiny crown for Tim, Stuart is given an electric guitar (but receives a snowglobe instead when he breaks the guitar on stage) and Kevin is knighted by the Queen. Scarlet is suddenly revealed to be alive and snatches the Queen’s crown with Herb, but she is stopped by a young Felonious Gru, who freezes the Overkills and takes the crown. He then leaves with it. The Minions see Gru as their new potential leader and chase after him, setting up the plot for Despicable Me.
