The jokes are bad, one silliness after the other, and many were at least questionable. Can it get worse? It can, when one of the minions becomes gigantic by accidentally entering a machine in Scarlet’s castle (which lies in plain sight although she is a well-known criminal) and has to battle her while she is wearing a dress which fires lasers and turns into a missile. Scarlet is angry with the minions and throws them in a dungeon but they escape through the sewers, steal a wreath from a funeral, collect a rat, go the a cathedral where Scarlet becomes queen of England (people in the “Minions” world don’t seem surprised by anything), get chased by a bee, almost kill Scarlet by accident, then she decides to eliminate them, which she intended to do anyway, and they are pursued by a group of ridiculous villains, including a scary clown who throws bombs, a fish-man lurking in puddles and a sumo wrestler. What?! Where did that come from? Obviously the writers were bored to think of something better, in fact they were bored to think of anything at all. Later, one of them happens to remove Excalibur from a rock and become king of England. There they happen to win a beat-’em-up competition and be hired by an infamous villain, Scarlet Overkill. They exit the city on foot and happen to be taken by a family who goes to the same convention.

The minions spend a night in a store and happen to see an advertisement about a villains’ convention.

The plot is a series of random events that make no sense at all, even for an animation or kids movie.

The story is about three minions going to America to find a villain for their tribe to serve.
