Origin Story of The Minions and Gru
We love the original Despicable Me movie, so we had to see the latest movie, Minions The Rise of Gru with all of the hilarious characters.
This movie takes us back in time to when Gru was a 12 year old kid, who was already on his way to becoming a villain.
The origin story is filled with the same type of humor as the other movies in the franchise, so be prepared to laugh and watch the movie again and again.
The Collector’s Edition will be a great addition to your home movie collection.
It includes the blu-ray, DVD and a digital code.
There are also 2 mini movies and, of course, a whole lot of entertaining bonus features.
