‘Minions’ Super Bowl TV Spot: Lots of Cheering and Stripping

The goofy yellow guys from Despicable Me have their own movie (Minions) coming out this summer and now they have their own special Super Bowl video. Directed by Pierre Coffin, the Minions voice cast includes Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, and Allison Janney – although none of those famous voices are featured in the TV spot.

Minions opens in theaters on July 10, 2015.

The Plot:

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time.  Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters.  Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters — from T. Rex to Napoleon — the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression.

But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he — alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain.  They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.
