The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Minions & More is a collection of short movies featuring the Minions and other Illumination Entertainment characters from movies like The Secret Life of Pets, Sing, The Lorax, Dr. Seuss' The Grinch, and more. The 10 shorts vary in iffy content. Some include some mild cartoon violence, like characters getting tossed around, flying through the air, and nearly drowning, while sustaining temporary injuries. In "Minion Scouts," the scout leader uses some mildly insulting language like "weaselly wimps!" This particular short also features Minions eating wild berries that take them on a drug-induced trip. In "Norman TV" a couple argues after the man's infidelity, which he defends by saying, "Oh, come on, baby, I promise you, she meant nothing." He also attempts to poison the woman in order to be entitled to her father's estate.

What's the Story?
In MINIONS & MORE, characters from Illumination Entertainment movies like the Despicable Me franchise, Sing, The Secret Life of Pets, and more take on summer camp, winter storms, and the wild world of online dating in this collection of short movies. With humor, action, and some cringeworthy moments, the stars of each short overcome conflicts and solve problems in their unique ways.
Is It Any Good?
Illumination Entertainment's heavy hitters collide in this funny compilation of shorts. Minions & More is easy to watch in one sitting, as the shorts are fast-paced and action packed. While the Minions steal the show, there are other favorites from Illumination movies -- like Norman, the hamster from The Secret Life of Pets, or Max, the dog from Dr. Seuss' The Grinch, both of whom put on noteworthy performances to help their caretakers. And while there's some questionable content for the littlest viewers, most of it will go over their heads. They'll likely be too busy keeping up with the ever-changing cast of characters and storylines to know what's inappropriate.
