In the 1970s, young Gru tries to join a group of supervillains called the Vicious 6 after they oust their leader -- the legendary fighter Wild Knuckles. When the interview turns disastrous, Gru and his Minions go on the run with the Vicious 6 hot on their tails. Luckily, he finds an unlikely source for guidance -- Wild Knuckles himself -- and soon discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
I have been a massive fan of the Minions since day one. They do not get old to me at all. That being said - this back and forth that they do between the current time based Despicable Me franchise and the prequel franchise of the Minions is so well balanced/done. You end up loving the current adventures but also loving the backstory of how they all came to be because they do a really good job continuity wise for an animation franchise.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this out. It was a very fun continuation of the backstory to these lovable characters.
