Minions & Monsters (2026)
Hollywood has a monster problem.
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

What kind of watch this is
Minions & Monsters is a 2026 animated adventure that leans hard into comedy and fantasy. It runs 90 minutes, a tight window for a story about chaos on a global scale. The film targets families who enjoy absurd premises where small creatures cause big trouble. It is for viewers who want a fast-paced, silly romp without heavy emotional stakes. The humor comes from the ridiculousness of the situation rather than complex character arcs. If you like your entertainment loud and visually chaotic, this is the right pick. It does not ask for your patience, only your willingness to laugh at bad decisions.
What the critics said
Critics cleared the bar comfortably. Rotten Tomatoes reports 89% positive reviews from 183 critics, averaging 6.9 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 70 out of 100, a solid "generally favorable" mark. The consensus calls it the franchise's most roundly enjoyable entry yet. Drew Taylor of TheWrap sees a "love letter to classic Hollywood." Guy Lodge of Variety finds it "smarter, wilder and funnier." Not everyone is singing along. John Nugent of Empire gave it three stars, noting the story relies on contrived chaos rather than depth. It is a fun ride, even if the map is a bit fuzzy.
How it did with audiences
Produced on an $85 million budget, the film has grossed $525 million worldwide as of September 27, 2026. That is a solid return, though the opening was a franchise low. It started with $62 million over the Independence Day frame, well below the $120 million marks of its predecessors. Audiences on TMDB rate it 7.6 out of 10. The math works out to a win, even if the launch was soft.
