Minions & Monsters with Pierre Coffin | Picturehouse

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to Pierre Coffin, the director of Illumination's new film Minions & Monsters, as well as the voice of the Minions across the Despicable Me and Minions franchises.  Minions & Monsters introduces us to two new faces from an entirely new tribe of Minions, James and Henry. We meet them and their rambunctious friends in the distant past as they search far and wide for an evil master to serve.   Eventually they reach the 1920s, and wind up crashing a Hollywood film set. Their brief and accidental appearance on camera pays off – and before they know it, the Minions are bona-fide movie stars. But their 15 minutes of fame are soon up (they can't follow the script when all they speak is Minionese!) and they find themselves roaming the streets of Hollywood looking for a new, villainous purpose.  
 But James and Henry have a different plan: they have fallen in love with making movies, and want to make one of their own! With the help of a spell book taken from an evil sorcerer they used to work for, James and Henry summon some fearsome monsters to play the villains in their movie... Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
