Opening in cinemas on 1 July, Minions & Monsters introduces audiences to brand-new Minion heroes, a fresh Hollywood-inspired setting, and a cast of fantastical monsters that promise to bring even more chaos and comedy to the beloved franchise. Whether you’re a longtime fan or introducing the Minions to a new generation, there’s plenty to look forward to in this latest adventure.
And for those who can’t wait until movie day, fans can get a taste of the action at Junction 8, Level 2 Atrium, where a special Minions & Monsters takeover is bringing the film’s playful energy to life through themed experiences, family-friendly activities, and exclusive rewards.
Meet James and Henry, the Franchise’s Newest Minion Heroes
At the heart of Minions & Monsters are two brand-new Minions: James and Henry.
Unlike many of their fellow Minions, James and Henry dream of something more than simply finding an evil master to serve. After finding themselves in Hollywood during the dawn of cinema, the pair became fascinated by the art of filmmaking and fell in love with the idea of creating movies of their own.
Their creativity and ambition set them on a unique path, one that separates them from the rest of their tribe and ultimately drives the story forward. As they pursue their dream of making the ultimate monster movie, audiences will follow their journey through the glamorous world of Hollywood.
A New Chapter Inspired by the Magic of Cinema

One of the most exciting aspects of Minions & Monsters is its celebration of movie magic.
The story takes place in Hollywood during the early days of filmmaking, where the Minions accidentally find themselves on a movie set and unexpectedly become stars. Before long, they are living the celebrity lifestyle, enjoying fame, fortune, and adoring fans who embrace their signature look of overalls and goggles.
But fame doesn’t last forever.
As Hollywood evolves and silent films give way to “talkies,” the Minions find themselves struggling to adapt. Unable to follow scripts in anything other than Minionese, they soon lose their place in the spotlight.
While many of the Minions continue their search for a new purpose, James and Henry choose a different path, one driven by creativity, imagination, and their growing passion for filmmaking.
Enter the World of Monsters

Determined to make a monster movie of their own, James and Henry turn to an unusual source of inspiration: a magical spellbook taken from a former boss. What begins as an ambitious filmmaking project quickly takes an unexpected turn when they summon real monsters to star in their movie.
These brand-new additions to the Minions universe bring larger-than-life adventures, thrilling encounters, and plenty of comedic chaos to the story. As the monsters grow increasingly difficult to control, James, Henry, and their fellow Minions must work together to save the day.
