“You don’t see a lot of children’s cartoons throwing around jokes about Eadweard Muybridge and Georges Méliès. But much to my delight, Minions & Monsters is stuffed silly with clever references to the early days of cinema. I applaud director Pierre Coffin for packing this film with jokes that even his target audience’s grandparents are too young to get.” – Spliced Personality Substack, 07/01/2026
