No, scratch that: it is likely that your children will demand that you accompany them to both.

It is the first of the season’s two big movies aimed at the “kids and tweens market” to premiere in the UK – the other, Inside Out, lands in early July – and it is likely you may want to take your children to see both. Oddly, no reports of this survives in histories of that era. There is some amiable nonsense about the Sword in the Stone, leading, briefly, to Bob being declared King of England several encounters with our own Queen Liz (Jennifer Saunders), decidedly more kick-ass than the likes of Helen Mirren credit her and a final set-piece battle between minions and an increasingly psychotic Scarlett, leaving much of London in ruins. She turns up in the shape of Miss Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock), who commissions them to steal the crown jewels.Ĭhaos ensues. Thwarted in their efforts to provide support, the minions head off into unhappy exile in the snow and ice, emerging only in 1968, when the unlikely trio of Kevin, Bob and Stuart set out to find the world’s greatest villain. Thus, we learn of disastrous assistance given to Mr T Rex, clearly the baddest in the food chain, then fast forward a million years or so to equally disastrous efforts in the stone age, ancient Egypt and lastly, Napoleonic times.

The minions are, it appears, a symbiotic species, happiest when playing second fiddle to the biggest baddest bad guys on the scene: but not always the most competent of fiddlers.

Located in 1968, alongside a mostly contemporary Sixties soundtrack, this is a good-natured prequel providing back story to how our little lemon-tinted heroes came to work for Gru, arch-villain of the Despicable Me franchise. Minions, which ought properly to be sub-titled “Any colour so long as its yellow” is a zany, impossible, ever-so-slightly patchy comic tale of dastardly villains, daring deeds – and bananas.
