Additional Information about the Theatrical Cartoon The Minions

As yet untitled, the film is an original story that will repeat characters that originated in Despicable Me, but which will introduce new characters as well. The new movie will feature the yellow fellows' shenanigans as they deal with human characters.

CG 3D animation will be done in Paris by Illumination Mac Guff, which Universal purchased last fall to do the work for Illumination's family films.

This cartoon is currently in a pre-production or production phase. The information on this production (including release date) is estimated at this point, and is subject to change as the production finalizes.
