Minions & More 1 gathers a handful of short cartoons from the Despicable Me universe into one easy sit for family viewing.
What is Minions & More 1 about?
Rather than one continuous story, this 2022 animated release strings together a set of Minions mini-movies, including "Training Wheels" and "Puppy," each running just a few minutes long. The format suits the characters well: the yellow, goggle-wearing creatures built their reputation on quick sight gags and slapstick timing rather than sprawling plots, so a shorts anthology plays to their strengths. Voice work from Pierre Coffin, who originated much of the Minions' babbling dialect, anchors the collection, alongside Despicable Me regulars including Miranda Cosgrove and Tara Strong. At 48 minutes total, it's built for a single sitting rather than a marathon, making it a practical pick for younger viewers or a family movie night that doesn't demand a long attention span. The Adventure, Comedy, and Family genre tags all apply loosely across the individual segments, since tone and setup shift from one short to the next even as the visual style and comic sensibility stay consistent throughout.
About the cast
Pierre Coffin, who helped develop the Minions' distinctive vocal style from the start of the franchise, leads the voice cast. Raymond S. Persi and Carlos Alazraqui round out the ensemble, with Despicable Me veterans Miranda Cosgrove, Jessica DiCicco, and John DiMaggio also contributing voices across the various shorts that make up the collection.
Context & significance
The release sits within the broader Despicable Me franchise, one of modern animation's most durable comedy properties, built around directors Kyle Balda, Ken Daurio, and Cinco Paul's work on the wider series. Shorts anthologies like this one have become a standard way for the studio to keep the Minions in circulation between full features, offering standalone bites of the same humor rather than a new feature-length plot. For families already familiar with the main films, this is a lower-commitment way to revisit the characters.
