See How the Minions Got to New York in New MINIONS Clip

Watch a new Minions clip from the upcoming spinoff film to learn how the Minions came to New York City and where they got their overalls.

While there will surely be plenty of box office surprises next year, I think we can all agree that Minions is going to make bank. Both Despicable Me films did well in theaters, but it’s the adorable minions that have become Universal’s own "Mickey Mouse" if you will, adorning everything from t-shirts to coffee mugs. The characters get their own spinoff feature next year in a movie that covers the ancient origin of the creatures and revolves around their arrival in 1968 New York, where they set out to find the most despicable master. A new Minions clip has been released today that focuses on the titular characters’ first arrival in NYC, and it also reveals how they landed upon their signature clothing. While I wasn’t crazy about either Despicable Me film, I’m intrigued about an animated picture with main characters that speak gibberish. It's also just impossible to resist their adorableness.

Watch the new Minions movie clip after the jump. The film features the voices of Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm. Minions opens in theaters on July 10, 2015.

Here’s the official synopsis for Minions:

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.

Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.
