Meet the New Tribe of Adorable Henchmen in “Minions & Monsters”

A new tribe of Minions is heading to the big screen as “Minions & Monsters” brings audiences into a chaotic Hollywood adventure filled with filmmaking dreams, monster mishaps, and the franchise’s signature physical comedy.

Opening in Philippine cinemas on June 30, the Illumination animated film follows a fresh group of Minions as they try to make the next big movie.

Along the way, their adventure takes a wild turn when they accidentally unleash monsters into the world.

A New Minions Story Set in Hollywood

“Minions & Monsters” places its new tribe of yellow troublemakers in a story built around cinema, creativity, and chaos.

The film is directed by Pierre Coffin, who has been the voice of the Minions since the franchise began.

For this new installment, Coffin voices several key characters, including James, Henry, Ed, and Dick.

Together, they help shape a new chapter in Illumination’s animated universe, giving fans another look at the Minions’ unpredictable world.

James: The Creative Dreamer

At the center of the story is James, a creative Minion who goes against the usual Minion instinct of searching for an evil boss to serve.

Instead, James is more interested in storytelling and art.

His discovery of film gives him a new dream: to create the next big movie.

But that ambition leads to a mishap of monstrous proportions, forcing James and his tribe to fix the chaos they helped create.

Henry: The Loyal Best Friend

Henry is James’ constant supporter.

As James pursues his creative dreams, Henry remains by his side, cheering him on even when the rest of the tribe does not fully understand or support the idea.

His loyalty gives the story its heart, showing how friendship can keep even the strangest dreams alive.

Ed: The Silent but Essential Teammate

Rounding out the trio is Ed, a hearing-impaired Minion who communicates nonverbally.

Ed and his friends use their own system of signs to talk to one another.

As the group’s journey separates them from the rest of the tribe, Ed becomes an important part of the filmmaking team, proving that communication, teamwork, and creativity can take different forms.

Dick: The Self-Appointed Leader

Then there is Dick, who believes he should be the leader of the tribe.

Unlike James, Dick remains committed to the classic Minion mission: finding a new villain to serve.

Because of this, he does not support James’ filmmaking dreams and has no interest in joining his unusual creative adventure.

That tension adds another layer of humor to the group dynamic as the tribe tries to find its direction.

A Big-Screen Comedy for Families

“Minions & Monsters” brings together new characters, Hollywood-inspired chaos, and monster-filled comedy for families and animation fans.

With tickets now available, Filipino audiences can catch the new Minions tribe when the film arrives in cinemas on June 30.
