More: The beginning of the film tells the story of the origin of the minions - the little henchmen of all villains. They faithfully served all the villains in the entire history of life on earth, but by pure chance the minions killed all their masters: Tyrannosaurus Rex rolled on a stone to the mouth of a volcano, and then a minion that rolled under a stone accidentally pushed him and dropped the dinosaur. They gave the caveman a fly swatter instead of a bat, as a result of which he could not fight off the bear.

An incorrectly constructed pyramid was overturned on the Egyptian pharaoh, together with the builders. When Dracula turned 357 years old, the birthday minions opened the curtains, which turned him into dust from the sunlight. Napoleon was accidentally shot from a cannon. After the loss of the last owner, they find refuge in an ice cave and at first live for their own pleasure, but then they begin to get bored and sad, because if the minions do not serve anyone, they lose the meaning of life and fall into depression, which can even die.
