Minions & Monsters debuts as 1920s Hollywood‑themed animated comedy

The animated film Minions & Monsters, the seventh installment in the Minions franchise and the third solo outing, was released on July 1 2026. Directed and co‑written by Pierre Coffin, who also provides the voices of the Minions, the movie is set in the glamour of 1920s Hollywood. It follows the yellow creatures as they search for an evil master, inadvertently become film stars, and attempt to produce a monster movie, summoning a tiny monster named Goomi.

The voice cast includes Allison Janney as a museum guide, Jeff Bridges and Christoph Waltz as studio executives, Jesse Eisenberg as the alien robot Dort, and Zoey Deutch as the suffragette Debbie, with Trey Parker voicing Goomi. The film is rated PG for violence, language and rude humor and runs 90 minutes.

Critical reception notes the film’s affectionate homage to classic cinema, its many nods to early Hollywood icons, and its slap‑slap comedic style, while some reviewers cite uneven pacing in the final act. Spanish‑language promos describe it as family‑friendly weekend entertainment.
