A few weeks ago, Liam and I went to see Minions: The Rise of Gru in theaters. This was only his 2nd time being to the movies and he absolutely LOVED the Minions movie! When we were given the opportunity to celebrate the release of this movie with a few activities and products mailed to us, I knew he’d be a happy boy.
After seeing Minions: The Rise of Gru in theaters, I was also excited to partner with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to offer a copy of this movie to you! Enter the giveaway HERE.
About Minions: The Rise of Gru
he biggest global animated franchise in history adds an all-new laugh-out-loud gru-vy movie in Illumination’s MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU, available to own with over 60 minutes of despicably entertaining bonus features on Digital August 30, 2022 and on 4K UHD, Blu-rayTM and DVD September 6, 2022 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Now with even more frolic and fun from the world’s most irresistible Minions, fans get a chance to learn the comedy-filled origin story of how Gru and the Minions became the world’s most villainous team! Jam-packed with exclusive bonus content, this Collector’s Edition includes two all-new mini movies, hilarious outtakes, a how-to draw (& animate) lesson with co-director Brad Ableson and tons of activities the whole family can enjoy.
Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. When the infamous supervillain group, the Vicious 6, ousts their leader, Gru attempts to join their ranks but soon finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to learn martial arts to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. Packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRUfeatures more thrilling action than any Despicable Me film ever before!
The film is written and directed by Kyle Balda (Minions, Despicable Me 3, The Lorax), co-directed by Brad Ableson (“Minions Holiday Special”) and Jonathan del Val (the Secret Life of Pets 2), and co-written by Matthew Fogel (The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part) and Brian Lynch (Minions, The Secret Life of Pets), starring Steve Carell, Pierre Coffin, Taraji P. Henson, Lucy Lawless, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Julie Andrews, and Alan Arkin. The original score was created by Heitor Pereira.
Fun Activities to Celebrate the Movie Release
As mentioned above, my son was sent a fun box full of items that will help him and I celebrate the release of this movie. The items included were perfect for Back to School season complete with a folder, notebook, pencil case, pens and more. Check it out:
Liam immediately wanted to color in the activity book and went right to coloring the picture of Otto. The entire time he was asking to watch the Minions movie.
He loved all of the activities in this book and has watched the movie at least 3 times since receiving this package.
In fact, this comes at the perfect time because I was trying to help him decide on a birthday party theme for himself. He is going to be 8 soon and guess what he’s picked?! MINIONS, of course! We’ve already ordered the cookies for favors, invitations, shirt and more! We’re set to have a great Minions party!!
Liam has a pediatric feeding disorder so I wasn’t so sure he’d try the Candy Club banana treats but he did! I can’t say he loved them but he ate a few of them — which is a huge accomplishment.
Overall, Minions is like Liam’s favorite right now and I can’t say I blame him. Yes, he’s watched the movie a few times but so have I! It is action packed, fun and entertaining. Make sure you enter to win your copy.
