When the Minions, those yellow, pill-shaped something-or-others from the Despicable Me films, were gifted with their own franchise starting with 2015’s Minions, two things became clear: they’re adorable, and they have almost no character traits beyond being adorable, especially while a frantic story swirls around them.

Minions & Monsters lands somewhere in the middle. Here, the Minions wreak havoc in a silent movie-era Hollywood that’s fun to explore and often yields comedic dividends. But it also shows there’s a finite number of cutesy sight gags, endless chase scenes, and childlike babbling that this franchise can sustain before it becomes tiresome.
