Movies that feel likeMinions (2015)

Minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob are recruited by Scarlet Overkill, a super-villain who, alongside her inventor husband Herb, hatches a plot to take over the world.

If you loved Minions, the closest films we have are Trolls (2016), Storks (2016) and The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019). All three share Minions' warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bolt (2008).

Nonstop candy-colored energy engineered for giggles

The difference: A pop-song musical — dance breaks instead of henchman chaos

After the monstrous Bergens invade Troll Village, Princess Poppy, the happiest Troll ever born, and overly-cautious, curmudgeonly outcast Branch set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

When the family takes a trip to the countryside, nervous Max has numerous run-ins with canine-intolerant cows, hostile foxes and a scary turkey.
