Minions & Monsters includes several mid-credits scenes that expand on the film's comedy and connect it to the wider Despicable Me universe, but audiences who stay until the very end will not find an additional post-credits scene. All of the bonus footage reportedly appears before the final credits finish rolling.
Film Setting and Plot
Set in 1920s Hollywood, the latest Illumination film follows James, Henry and Ed as they attempt to produce their own monster movie with the help of a mysterious squid-like creature named Goomi. The adventure concludes by revealing that the story itself is a film directed by James and Henry, before transitioning into a series of mid-credits sequences.
First Mid-Credits Scene: Introducing Young Gru and Kyle
The first scene introduces a young Gru, with the Minions using magic to transform his pet dog into the fearsome Kyle, linking the prequel directly to the events of the original Despicable Me films.
Second Scene: Trapping Dr Nefario
Another sequence sees the Minions playing tricks on Dr Nefario by trapping him in an endless magical falling loop.
Third Scene: Kevin Transformed into Female Version
A third scene summons Kevin from the modern timeline before transforming him into a female version of himself using a spellbook.
Fourth Scene: Bob and the Monster Rabbit
The fourth mid-credits scene follows Bob and a young girl as they encounter a monster rabbit released from the spellbook. Instead of fleeing, they embrace the creature, with the hug turning it friendly.
Final Bonus Scene: Stuart and Bob Experiment on Gru
The final bonus scene centres on Stuart and Bob experimenting with magic by transforming what appears to be Gru into different animals. When the real Gru suddenly appears, the Minions panic, accidentally casting a spell that leaves him without clothes.
No Post-Credits Scene
Despite the multiple bonus scenes, there is no additional post-credits sequence after the credits end. Instead, the film uses its mid-credits montage to provide humorous callbacks, tie together elements of the franchise's timeline and reinforce the Minions' trademark chaos ahead of the film's cinema release on July 1.
