Minions
“Minions” begins at the dawn of time…as the loveable yellow creatures evolve through the ages perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters–from T. rex to Napoleon–the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But Kevin the Minion has a plan and alongside fellow minions Stuart and Bob set out into the world to find a new boss….
The special bond that develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax, and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes.
