The verdict

Audiences rate it 7.5 out of 10 on TMDB across 914 votes — a strong score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category I · 90 minutes.

What it is about

Fresh off the worldwide blockbuster success of summer 2024’s funniest comedy, Despicable Me 4, Illumination expands its joyful animated universe with a riotous new chapter, featuring all-new characters, in the biggest global animated franchise in history: Minions & Monsters. 

This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created. 
 

What to expect

An animated comedy from the makers of Despicable Me, this is the story of how the Minions became Hollywood stars, accidentally unleashed monsters on the world, and had to clean up their own mess. With a fast, silly tone, it offers plenty of slapstick for children and knowing pop-culture jokes for adults. The Cantonese dub makes it especially fun for local families. Running just 90 minutes, it keeps things short and brisk. Rated I, it’s suitable for all ages. It opens on 1 July 2026, at the start of the summer holidays. Audiences who have seen it rate it 7.5 out of 10, based on 914 votes, suggesting it lands well with viewers who enjoy the franchise’s trademark energy and chaos.
