The Minions are coming! Who’s excited?

MEET Stuart, Kevin and Bob as they embark on a journey for their new master. Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have released the third trailer for the highly anticipated Despicable Me spin-off— with the adorable, gibberish-speaking little guys coming to theatres on July 10, 2015.
