Ambientato nella Hollywood degli anni '20, il film segue i Minion James, Henry ed Ed che, dopo un'irruzione su un set, vengono scritturati e decidono di girare un proprio film di mostri, scatenando involontariamente il caos con creature reali in un omaggio al cinema muto e alla storia del cinema.
Distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by Illumination Entertainment, "Minions & Monsters" marks a return to solo directing for Pierre Coffin, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Brian Lynch. The film catapults the iconic yellow Minions into 1920s Hollywood during the tumultuous transition from silent films to talkies, where their incomprehensible language turns them from stars into outcasts, setting off a series of events involving the creation of cinematic monsters. This installment is widely regarded by critics as a love letter to cinema, packed with sophisticated references ranging from Chaplin to Metropolis, while still maintaining the slapstick comedy and energy typical of the franchise.
Although some reviews note a more conventional tone in the second part, dedicated to monster action, the film is generally praised as the most polished and cinephile-friendly of the series, capable of entertaining both young audiences and adults passionate about film history.
