Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda direct this animated prequel to the 2010 hit ´Despicable Me´. Before Gru, the Minions have served many a despicable master throughout history, including Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula. However, having contributed to their masters´ downfalls through a series of mishaps, the Minions find themselves living in Antarctica with no one to serve.
A number of years pass and it isn´t until 1968 that dispirited Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob (all voiced by Coffin) set off to New York City to attend a villain convention and find themselves a new master. Here they meet the ambitious and dastardly Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), who, with the help of her husband Herb (Jon Hamm), plans to take over the world
