Illumination\u2019s \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d is nearly here.<\/p>\n
The latest installment in the long-running \u201cDespicable Me\u201d franchise premieres as the opening movie at this year\u2019s Annecy International Animation Film Festival<\/a> on June 21, before hitting theaters on July 1. (Expect every child you know to be running through the sprinkles on July 4 weekend while speaking Minion-y gibberish.)<\/p>\n The latest trailer will reacquaint you with the upcoming madness. Watch it below.<\/p>\n Set in the 1920s, the film features the Minions attempting to make it in Hollywood. In order to do so, they create a horror movie concept and then decide to fill the movie with actual monsters. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n The trailer suggests a winning combination of Damien Chazelle\u2019s \u201cBabylon\u201d and echoes of Lovecraftian horror, with a winning little goblin guy as an adorable new addition to the crew.<\/p>\n Trey Parker, Jesse Eisenberg, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Allison Janney, Zooey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan and Phil LaMarr provide voices, along with Pierre Coffin, who voices the Minions and who directed and co-wrote (with Bryan Lynch) \u201cMinions & Monsters.\u201d Coffin also directed the first three \u201cDespicable Me\u201d movies, the first \u201cMinions\u201d movie and has voiced the Minions in every entry in the franchise. The last entry, 2024\u2019s \u201cDespicable Me 4,\u201d similarly debuted at that year\u2019s Annecy.<\/p>\n Illumination is coming off a very big year, with \u201cThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie,\u201d produced alongside Nintendo, closing in on $900 million worldwide.<\/p>\n \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d is one of a handful of big animated features opening this summer, along with \u201cToy Story 5,\u201d \u201cPAW Patrol: The Dino Movie\u201d and the long-awaited animation\/live-action hybrid \u201cCoyote vs. Acme.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d opens on July 1.<\/p>\n The post Final \u2018Minions & Monsters\u2019 Trailer Looks Like \u2018Babylon\u2019 Meets \u2018Despicable Me\u2019<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Illumination\u2019s \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d is nearly here.
