Once:
When the 70s are in full swing, Gru comes up with a Machiavellian plan to integrate the notorious group of super villains known as the Vicious 6. He is aided in his task by the Minions, his little stormy companions rather than loyal ones.
When the Vicious 6 release their leader, the legendary Will Carnage, Gru auditions to join the team. The least we can say is that the interview goes awry and is suddenly cut short when Gru shows his superiority over them and suddenly finds himself their sworn enemy.
Forced to escape, he has no choice but to turn to Will Carnage himself to find a way out, an encounter that will allow him to discover that even super villains need friends sometimes.

• What will they fall in love with? : The Minions 2: Once Upon a Time Gru will delight fans of the franchise and the little yellow creatures. The film is full of 70s pop culture references (credits with James Bond sauce, jaw-dropping sessions, disco, kung-fu…) and the gags follow each other at a furious pace.
Kidnapped by Will Carnage, Gru is assisted by his minion friends, Bobby, Kevin, Stuart and Otto, who learn kung fu to defeat the terrifying Vicious 6. People watching.
Colorful and rhythmic, the feature film shows Gru’s childhood, his pre-childhood life, his bedroom, his mother, the creation of his evil vault… so many elements that allow us to make connections between all the films. Saga.
The fifth installment of the most profitable franchise in the history of animation (4 games grossed $37 billion worldwide), The Minions 2: Once Upon a Time Gru also offers impressive action scenes: chases, explosions, fights, transformations… real action and adventure film.
For Chris Meledandri, president and founder of Illumination, this success comes from a mixture of pure fun and emotion. “These movies touch people again and again through their characters. The minions seduce and delight the audience, as does Gru, who they identify with greatly and want to succeed despite being a villain.“
• What might be bothering them: At the beginning of the film, The Vicious 6 betray and free their leader, Will Carnage. A scene that can disturb the youngest, because we can think that the latter is dead.
After that, while they are looking for a new member,The Vicious 6 reject Gru because he is only a child and chase after him when they realize he stole their precious treasure. They do not hesitate to destroy his house.
Finally, Will Carnage asks his henchmen to kidnap a young boy. The latter kidnapped Gru in the middle of the night and locked him in their van.
Scenes that may frighten younger viewers but quickly lighten the comedy.
• What will they keep inside: It’s a good fun moment! At the end of the movie, children will especially remember the minions’ numerous ingenuity, self-sacrifice and unconditional love for the mini-boss.
For his part, Gru understands that these naive and somewhat awkward creatures are there for him, and that friendship is important even when you’re evil.
Director Kyle Balda, already at the helm of Despicable Me 3 with Eric Guyon and Pierre Coffin, and Minions (with Pierre Coffin) explains:
“The first movie explained the origin of the minions, their desires, goals, including serving a super villain.
With The Minions 2, we find out why they stuck with Gru and what the hero of the first saga was like when he was still a teenager with supervillain dreams.“.
And the reason why the pretty little yellow men stayed with “bad boy” Gru is quite simple, they became friends…
