Minions are small, yellow creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from yellow single-celled organisms into beings which exist only to serve history’s most evil masters, but they accidentally end up killing all their masters —including a Tyrannosaurus, a caveman, a Pharaoh, and Count Dracula.— They are driven into isolation after firing a cannon at Napoleon while in Russia and start a new life inside a cave, but after many years, the Minions become sad and unmotivated without a master to serve. To regain their dignity and sense of purpose, a minion named Kevin recruits two Minions called Stuart and Bob, setting out to look for a new master.
