Paraguay's cinemas are buzzing with the premiere of 'Minions and Monsters,' the latest adventure from the beloved yellow characters.

This animated feature, released on July 2, 2026, marks the first film debut of the month in the country. It plunges audiences into the 1920s, following the Minions as they chase their Hollywood dreams of creating a monster movie, only to find themselves facing a dangerous cosmic entity.

Directed by French filmmaker Pierre Coffin, who also voices the Minions, the film is the second release this year from Illumination. The studio previously brought 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' to theaters, which has become the highest-grossing film globally so far this year.
