Minions Movie Now Out on Blu-ray

Minions

We’ve seen the Despicable Me movies a few times, and like most kids, my girls have fallen in love with those zany, lovable Twinkie-shaped Minions. So of course we were excited to see the new Minions movie. We ended up missing it in the theatres, but the good news is that Minions is now out on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. Last weekend we got our Minion tuques on and settled in for the movie.

My little Minions

It’s goofy, it’s silly, and it’s a lot of fun! There are a few action scenes that were a little intense for my three-year-old, but for the most part the kids just enjoyed the silliness of the Minions’ quest throughout history to find the right evil genius to serve. We also liked the mini-movie extras. Cro-Minion featuring cave Minions was especially cute.

“Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions 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 one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embark upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in ‘mod’ London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.”
