 MINIONS

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 2 02/08/2023 10:38

 Meet the Minions! They are yellow, love
bananas, and work for super villains.

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 3 02/08/2023 10:38

 For years, the Minions searched for
the perfect employer. They worked
for a dinosaur, a caveman, a pharaoh,
and even a vampire.

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 4 02/08/2023 10:39

 But then they found Gru!

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 5 02/08/2023 10:39

 GRU

Gru was cunning. He was evil. He was

the most despicable villain – the best
boss ever!

 The Minions work in
Gru’s secret lab.
When they leave the
house, they always try
and blend in.

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 7 02/08/2023 10:39

 The Minions help Gru with his plans.
From stealing a shrink ray...

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 8 02/08/2023 10:39

 ...to launching Gru into space to steal
the moon!

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 9 02/08/2023 10:39

 They also operate his gadgets, including
the smelliest gadget of all...the Fart Gun!
They even honored Dr. Nefario with
a 21-fart-gun salute. Stinky!

10

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 10 02/08/2023 10:39

 Dr. Nefario is Gru’s gadget guru and
loyal friend. He invented the Fart Gun,
Cookie Robots, and Freeze Ray.

11

 But everything changed when Gru met
three orphan girls.

12

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 12 02/08/2023 10:39

 The girls helped
Gru learn that
happiness is more
important than
being a villain.

 MARGO

Margo is the oldest

of the girls. She loves
her sisters more
than anything.

 EDITH
Edith is the middle sister
and often up to no good.
She loves a funny prank!
(Just like the Minions!)

 AGNES

The youngest of the girls, Agnes, always

thinks of others first. She loves Gru so
much that she even sold her favourite
unicorn toy to help pay the bills!

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 16 02/08/2023 10:40

 Before he adopted the girls, Gru wanted
to be the most despicable villain, but it
turns out...

17

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 17 02/08/2023 10:40

 ...he would rather be the best dad ever!

18

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 18 02/08/2023 10:41

 Then, Gru joined the Anti-Villain
League, an organization that protects
the world from evil.

19

 LUCY

Gru met Lucy and they became

super-spy partners. They also fell
in love and got married!

20

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 20 02/08/2023 10:41

 Together, they keep the world safe
from super villains.

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 21 02/08/2023 10:41

 BALTHAZAR
They even stopped
Balthazar Bratt and
El Macho from
destroying the world!

 EL MACHO

23

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 23 02/08/2023 10:41

 Gru and Lucy are some of the world’s
best secret agents and they want to be
the best parents too!

24

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 24 02/08/2023 10:41

 They have a big surprise on the way…

25

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 25 02/08/2023 10:41

 ...a baby boy!
Gru Jr. is curious and mischievous.

26

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 26 02/08/2023 10:41

 When he is not with his parents, Minions
Darryl, Ron, and Phil take care of him.
They can change a diaper faster than
anyone else!

27

27942_DM4_GLOBAL_MASTER.indd 27 02/08/2023 10:41

 But there’s a lot of evil in the world, and
the Anti-Villain League needs more help.
Five Minions are chosen to become...
the Mega Minions!

28
