25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2015
9. Minions
Release Date: 10th July
Jumping back in time to the time BG (Before Gru), Minions sees the invincible yellow henchmen travelling throughout time looking for their evil soul-mate to serve in an odd unconsummated romantic comedy for kids.
Without Steve Carrell's Gru, Sandra Bullock comes in as the villain - alongside husband Jon Hamm - while Steve Coogan and Michael Keaton both have cameos.
Selling Point
For all their lack of dimensions and cynical cash-cowing, there's something irresistible about physical comedy and slap-stick, and the yellow sidekicks did run away with both Despicable Me films to date.
And since Despicable Me had that same Incredibles like nostalgic element, the chance to go back to the '60s in this universe is a wonderful prospect.
Reservations
Universal could literally just have a couple of Minions on screen for two hours saying "banana" to each other and kids would lap it up. Hopefully they're not that cynical. Yet.
