Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is preparing 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Pierre Coffin and Patrick Delage's
Minions & Monsters (2026), featuring the voices of Pierre Coffin, Allison Janney, George Lucas, Christoph Waltz, and Jeff Bridges. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on September 8.
Illumination expands its joyful Minions universe with a riotous chapter featuring all-new characters in the biggest global animated franchise in history. This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood as movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try saving the planet from the mayhem they created.
Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Allison Janney ("The West Wing," "Mom") returns with an ensemble cast of two-time Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained), Academy-Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, A Real Pain), Academy Award-winner Jeff Bridges (Tron: Ares, The Big Lebowski), Zoey Deutch (Voicemails For Isabelle, Something from Tiffany's), Children's & Family Emmy-Award nominee Bobby Moynihan ("Saturday Night Live," The Secret Life of Pets), and Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction, The Super Mario Bros. Movie). The Minions are brought to life once again by the voice of Academy Award-nominee Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2) who co-directs with Patrick Delage (Sing, The Secret Life of Pets 2). Minions is produced by Illumination Entertainment CEO and founder Chris Meledandri and Bill Ryan (The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie). Coffin and Brian Lynch (Minions: The Rise of Gru, The Secret Life of Pets) wrote the screenplay. Chris Renaud (Minions, The Grinch) serves as executive producer of the film with Lynch.
