Minions & Monsters

(grand orchestral fanfare playing)

(tinny grand orchestral fanfare playing)

-(pig squealing) -Hyah! Hyah!

-(cat meows) -(laughing)

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

-(elephant trumpets) -(grunting rhythmically)

(Minions speaking Minionese, laughing)

-(train whistle blowing) -Uh...

Eh...

-(laughing): Hey. -Hey. Yoo-hoo.

Oh!

All right, everybody, gather round.

This is our latest, very special exhibit

where you'll learn all about your favorite movies

-and actors. -Wow. -Ooh.

Welcome to The Magic of Hollywood!

Look at all this cool stuff. Oh.

Look up there. It's E.T.

: Oh, and look at this one.

-(gasps) Keanu Reeves. -(glass squeaks)

And you all know George Lucas, right?

-(excited chattering) Oh, yes, he's great.

: I'd really like to go home now.

Come on, only a few more weeks left in the exhibit.

You can do it.

Can I at least have my cell phone?

Oh, George, you're just gonna use it to call for help.

Oh, and over here,

oh, wow, the most important figures in the exhibit.

Without them, there would be no Hollywood.

James and Henry!

Who?

Are you serious?

James and Henry.

-Minions. -I know the Minions.

But I've never seen, uh...

James and Henry.

-Yeah. Never heard of them. -Me neither.

This is insane!

James and Henry are legends, and they changed Hollywood forever.

Not just Hollywood, they changed the world.

And their story is epic.

-(gasping, murmuring) -They're what?

What is she talking about?

You know what? Change of plans.

Everybody, sit down. Now.

All of you. Come on, sit down.

Tommy. You, too, Glasses and Mr. Johnson.

And-and-and you, too, Bubble Girl.

As you may know, throughout time,

dozens of Minion tribes have been roaming our planet,

searching for the perfect villain

-to serve. -(burps)

(Minions speaking Minionese excitedly, laughing)

(singing "Blow the Man Down" in Minionese)

And among them was a very special guy.

That's him right there.

James.

He liked to draw, paint, but, above all,

he loved to invent stories and share them with his buddies.

-Hey, Alberto. Look at me booka. -Huh?

¿Te gusta?

Uh... um, meh.

Ah. Uh, Eric.

Huh? (sputters, mutters)

Hey, James! Hey! Okay?

: Uh, uh, es... Sí, sí.

The rest of his tribe, however,

they were just interested in one thing.

Big Boss. Ooh...

To serve the most evil master they can find.

And this guy checked all the boxes.

Scary? Check.

Burly? Check.

-Super mean? -Ooh.

-Pout! Pout! Pout! -(people groaning)

Double check.

Oh.

-(laughing) No, no, no!

-Pout! Pout! Pout! -(panicked shouting)

Pout! Pout! Pout!

He was a perfect ten.

Pout! Pout! Pout!

Pout! Pout! Pout!

-(laughing) -(heavy thudding)

To show their new master how much they cared,

the Minions did everything for him.

But James wanted to go one step further

and create something truly wonderful for his master.

-(thudding footsteps) -Uh, uh, what? Ah.

Ah. Hey, Big Boss!

Hey, looka! Looka!

-(Cyclops sighs) -(James laughs)

Regarde! (grunts)

C'est tu! (chuckles)

Et c'est nous!

: Big Boss! Big Boss! Big Boss!

Pout, pout, pout.

Uh...

-No, pout, pout, pouta. No. -(Cyclops laughing)

-No. -(laughing, grunting)

Eh?

Regarde! Regarde!

-(shouting in pain) -(shouting in Minionese)

-(crashing) -(Cyclops cries out)

Ah, ooh, ooh.

-(crashing) -(grunting)

Uh, pulla, pulla...

Phew.

Hey, hey, uh, no, no, no!

¡Cuidado! !Cuidado!

Oomph! (air squeaking)

Ow! (grunting)

Oh! Ooh! Oh!

-(thudding, squishing) -(gasping)

-(grunts woozily) -(gags)

-Oh, James. -James.

The Minions were banished

from the Cyclops's island that day,

and everyone was mad at James.

-(speaks Minionese) -James, James, James!

(shouting angrily in Minionese, grunts)

-Oh. Well, not everyone.

-(laughing) -One other Minion found it very funny.

Big Boss. Pout, pout, pout.

(speaks Minionese, blows raspberry)

Ayah, ouch. (groaning)

And that was Henry.

-HENRY (sighs): Ooh la la la. -(James chuckles)

Allez.

Hey, James.

Ah, sí, sí.

Uh-uh.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

Hey.

Huh? (laughs)

Mee-ta Henry.

Ah, bello. Mee-ta James.

-Tapioca? -Ah, oh, tapioca.

Ooh, hey.

-(speaking Minionese) -Sí.

Oh, oh. (speaks Minionese)

Hey, oh! (speaking Minionese)

-Ah, o-okay. Sí, sí. -Sí. Sí.

-Blah. -(sputters)

-(both laughing) -(sighs)

And from that moment on,

James and Henry were inseparable.

The best of friends and by each other's side

-no matter where they went... Big Boss! Big Boss!

-...or who they worked for. -Big Boss! Big Boss! Big Boss!

Their next master was extremely promising,

very powerful and, more importantly, very evil.
