Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have released the highly anticipated trailer for the Minions movie and it looks awesome! See Stuart, Kevin, and Bob embarking on an epic journey 42 years before they met Gru. The trailer itself teaches us a few things about Minions: they were around thousands of years ago and came out of the sea, their first master was a dinosaur, they built pyramids, fought in Napolionic wars and killed vampires (not on purpose). After accidentally killing off so many of their masters Stuart, Kevin, and Bob venture out into the world to find a new evil boss.

Their journey eventually leads them to their evil master – Scarlet Overkill – played by Sandra Bullock, the first female villain to have ever been served by tribal minions. After a time in New york, the crew eventually end up in England where they try to fulfil their purpose and save their race from extinction.

Minions is co-directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin (both Despicable Me 1 & 2 previously). Bullock is followed by Steve Carell as Gru, Jon Hamm (Herb Overkill), Katy Mixon (Tina), Hiroyuki Sanada (Sumo Villain), Jennifer Saunders (Queen Elizabeth), Pierre Coffin as the aforementioned three heroes, and Chris Renaud as the giggle-worthy voices of the Minions.

The film hits theaters in 3D starting July 10, 2015.
