London Mums Magazine was invited to review animation movie Minions & Monsters. I was accompanied along with 3 minions aged 8, 10 and 18, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable family film. It managed to keep both of them engaged from start to finish, despite the age difference, with plenty of laughs, exciting moments, and colourful animation.
The film does a good job of balancing fast-paced comedy with an entertaining story. The Minions provide lots of the humour, while the monsters add fun personalities and help keep the adventure interesting. There are also a few heartfelt moments that give the story a bit more depth without slowing it down.
It was interesting to see how each child enjoyed different aspects of the film. The 10-year-old seemed to appreciate the adventure and the story, while the 8-year-old laughed out loud at the Minions’ antics and the slapstick comedy. Both were still talking about their favourite scenes afterwards, which says a lot about how much they enjoyed it.
Overall, I’d recommend Minions & Monsters to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly trip to the cinema. It’s entertaining for children while offering enough humour and charm to keep the adults watching too.
We at London Mums Magazine gave it a collective 7/10.
