They’ve caused mischief, gone viral, and taken over the box office—and now, the Minions are back for their wildest adventure yet.
From Illumination, the animation powerhouse behind Despicable Me and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, comes Minions & Monsters—a brand-new chapter in the world’s biggest animated franchise, hitting cinemas across the UK & Ireland on 1st July 2026.
Directed by Pierre Coffin, the Oscar-nominated creator and voice of the Minions, this new film tells the “ridiculous and totally true” story of how the Minions became Hollywood stars, lost everything… and accidentally unleashed monsters upon the world. Naturally, it’s up to them to clean up the chaos they created.
Written by Brian Lynch (Minions, The Secret Life of Pets) and Coffin, Minions & Monsters blends comedy, carnage, and cartoon charm—perfect for fans of all ages.
Mark your calendars. The Minions are going monster mode.
