Germany German (Deutsch)

Seit dem Anfang des Anfang gab es die Minions schon: kleine, gelbe Helferlein, deren einziger Existenzgrund ist, einem Bösewicht zu Diensten zu stehen. Als all ihre Meister jedoch zerstört wurden, zogen sie sich in die Antarktis zurück und verharrten dort viele, viele Jahre in Depression - bis schließlich in den Sechziger Jahren der mutigste Minion und zwei Gefährten den Entschluss fassen, einen neuen Meister finden zu gehen. Und so machen sie sich auf zu einer Bösewicht-Convention. Dort laufen sie der verrückten Super-Bösewichtin Scarlett Overkill und ihrem Ehemann, dem Wissenschaftler Herb Overkill in die Arme. Sie will die erste weibliche Oberbösewichtin werden und die kleinen gelben Helferlein für ihre finsteren Pläne missbrauchen.

Les Minions

À la nuit des temps des temps. À l’origine, de simples organismes monocellulaires de couleur jaune, les Minions ont évolué au cours des âges au service de maîtres plus abjects les uns que les autres. Les disparitions répétitives de ceux‐ci, des tyrannosaures à Napoléon, ont plongé nos mignons personnages dans une profonde dépression. Mais l’un d’eux, prénommé Kevin, a une idée. Flanqué de Stuart, l’adolescent rebelle et de l’adorable petit Bob, Kevin part à la recherche d’un nouveau patron malfaisant pour guider les siens. Nos trois Minions se lancent dans un palpitant voyage qui va les conduire à leur nouveau maître… qui s’avère être une maîtresse : Scarlet Overkill, la première super‐vilaine de l’histoire. De l’Antarctique au New York des années 60, nos trois compères arrivent finalement à Londres, à l’apogée des mods, où ils vont devoir faire face à la plus terrible menace de leur existence : l’annihilation de leur espèce.

Italy Italian (Italiano)

La storia di Minions inizia all'alba dei tempi. Partendo da organismi gialli unicellulari, i Minion si evolvono attraverso i secoli, perennemente al servizio del più spregevole dei padroni. Continuamente senza successo nel preservare questi maestri, dal T-Rex a Napoleone, i Minion si sono ritrovati senza qualcuno da servire e sono caduti in una profonda depressione. Ma un Minion di nome Kevin ha un piano, e lui - insieme all'adolescente ribelle Stuart e all'adorabile piccolo Bob - decide di avventurarsi nel mondo per trovare un nuovo capo malvagio da seguire per sé e i suoi fratelli. Il trio si imbarca in un viaggio emozionante che li condurrà alla loro prossima potenziale padrona, Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), la prima super-cattiva al mondo. Un viaggio che li porterà dalla gelida Antartide alla New York City del 1960, fino ad arrivare a Londra, dove dovranno affrontare la loro sfida più grande: salvare tutti i Minion... dall'annientamento.
