The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThree Minions tumble into a 1960s New York department store like it is a candy aisle. Stuart locks onto bananas and pastries; Bob chases taxis and hippies shouting peace slogans. The PA pushes bell-bottoms and miniskirts on sale, until Kevin seizes the microphone and tells shoppers the store is closing. Outside, Bob meets a bear who introduces himself the Tarzan way: Me Tim. Watch how a closing announcement becomes their getaway line.
