The beginning of all there is. We follow simple AMOEBAS
floating about. They are shapeless single-celled organisms
which bob to and fro. Suddenly, a BIGGER AMOEBA begins to
PUSH AROUND the smaller amoebas, asserting its dominance.
Three tiny YELLOW (MINION) AMOEBAS observe, but then an EVEN
BIGGER AMOEBA gobbles up the smaller one. The tiny Minion
amoebas follow the carnivorous one off-screen.
As bigger and more EVIL CREATURES present themselves, the
Minion Amoebas start following THEM. Yes, ever since the
beginning of time, Minions just wanted to serve the most
wicked master.
We FOLLOW THE MINION AMOEBAS through time, as they slowly
evolve, growing eyes, arms, etc. Their masters evolve as
well. Eventually they begin following EVIL FISH, and then an
EVIL AMPHIBIAN.
As the Evil Amphibian swims to the surface, the three Minions
are joined by HUNDREDS of OTHER MINIONS, as they happily
follow their new master out of the water.
TITLE CARD: MINIONS
END TITLE SEQUENCE.

EXT: PREHISTORIC BEACH - DAY
Naked MINIONS, covered only in seaweed, follow the Evil
Amphibian onto the shore.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Minions. Minions have been on this
planet far longer than we have.
They go by many names...Dave,
Carl...Paul...Mike...
2
One naked Minion notices that he has no seaweed and grabs two
starfish from the water, which he places strategically on his
chest.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...oh, that one is Norbert. He’s
an idiot.
The Minions walk on.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
They’re all different, but they all
share the same goal.
MINIONS BL Draft 2.
A giant T-REX smashes the Evil Amphibian.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
To serve the most despicable master
they could find.
A Minion points to the T-Rex, excited---
EXCITED MINION
Boss!
The T-Rex ROARS.
3
EXT: PREHISTORIC PLAINS - LATER
3
The T-Rex walks along, followed by a group of Minions.
Numerous Minions ride on top of him, scratching his back and
scrubbing his head.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Making their master happy was the
tribe’s very reason for existence.
That’s not to say that they didn’t
have OTHER passions....
Two Minions notice bananas growing on a bush.
MINION 1
Oh, hey! Looka! C’est un banono!
One tries to pull a banana from beneath a large boulder. He
finally pulls it out and holds it above his head
triumphantly.
MINION 2
C’est la banana! Ha ha! YUM YUM!
The boulder then rolls down a steep hill toward the T-Rex.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Finding a boss was easy. But
KEEPING a boss, therein lies the
rub.
The boulder hits the T-Rex and sends him rolling down the
hill, balancing on the boulder with his hind legs. The
Minions follow him frantically.
MINIONS
Boss! Boss! Big boss!
MINIONS BL Draft 3.
The T-Rex dodges tree branches as he heads toward the edge of
a cliff, which launches into a volcano. He manages to stop
at the very edge.
Three Minions look down after him, wanting to help, but are
accidentally pushed forward when the others arrive. They
roll down toward the T-Rex. Two are stopped by rocks, but
the last one stops just short of the boulder. As he sits up,
he accidentally knocks his head against the boulder, which
sends the T-Rex plummeting into the volcano. The Minions
begin to CRY. One SLAPS the Minion who caused the boulder to
fall.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Nope, it wasn’t easy for these
guys. BUT they never gave up.
THE IMAGE DISSOLVES into a CAVE PAINTING depicting the T
Rex’s plunge into the volcano.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
With the emergence of the Stone
Age, came the rise of a new
species...
We then see the arrival of MAN (caveman, to be exact) in the
cave paintings.
4
EXT: VALLEY - DAY
A MONKEY uses a rock to hammer the ground. A CAVEMAN
approaches him and tries to eat the rock.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Man was VERY DIFFERENT from the
dinosaur. He was shorter, hairier,
and way, way smarter.
The Monkey SCREECHES and the Caveman PUNCHES him offscreen.
The Minions CHEER and follow the Caveman.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
The Minions took an instant liking
to man...
A BEAR charges the Caveman.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...and helped him best they
could...
The Caveman goes to GRAB A BIG HUNK OF WOOD on the ground.
It will make a great club! But...
4
MINIONS BL Draft 4.
MINION (O.S.)
No, no! Te--la pinata!
The Caveman TURNS...
...the Minion hands him a FLY SWATTER.
The Caveman looks to the Minions, confused. They assure him
that it’s okay. He hits the bear with the fly swatter.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Poor man. So trusting. So
fragile.
The Bear attacks the Caveman while the Minions watch in
horror. They nonchalantly back away offscreen.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
So, so delicious.
DISSOLVE TO EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS. Sure enough, there are
Minions carved among the humans.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Their quest for a boss put the
Minions front and center for some
of civilization’s most historic
moments.
5
EXT: PYRAMIDS - DAY
A cool PHARAOH is standing atop a GIANT PLATFORM at the
dedication of a NEW PYRAMID!
PHAROAH
Raa kaba ank! Anubis! Hi-yah!
The Pharaoh proudly SNAPS HIS WHIP before HUNDREDS OF
FOLLOWERS ON THE GROUND. He SNAPS his whip, they CHEER!
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Ancient Egypt held great promise...
5
Minion construction workers stand nearby. One of the Minions
christens the pyramid like a new ship. We PULL BACK TO
REVEAL the pyramid has been built upside-down and is
precariously balancing on what is supposed to be the top.
The pyramid tips over onto the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh’s
Followers. SPLAT! All dead.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...but it didn’t last long.
MINIONS BL Draft 5.
A Minion looks at blueprints of the pyramid. He realizes he
had them upside-down. He turns them right-side up. The
other Minion slaps him in the back of the head.

7
INT: CASTLE DRACULA - MORNING
The Minions tip-toe into DRACULA’s bedroom, where he is
asleep in his coffin.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
The Dark Ages were actually fun
times. Their new master had a
tendency to party all night and
sleep all day.
The Minions pull open his coffin, waking him up...
DRACULA
Ratch-ooturi?
...to see all The Minions have converged to celebrate his
357th birthday! They have a banner and a cake with candles
and everything!
They YANK OPEN THE CURTAINS, letting the sun in, as they
CHEER.
Dracula SCREAMS and the sun INSTANTLY turns him to a statue
of dust.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
But eventually, the party was over.
6
A Minion nervously blows out the candle, also blowing the
dust statue of Dracula away onto another Minion, who SNEEZES.
EXT: BATTLEFIELD - DAY
NAPOLEON stands next to a cannon and raises his sword.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
They bounced from one evil boss to
another... But they never seemed
to find their perfect fit.
NAPOLEON
Feu!
7
One of the Minions lights the cannon while another stands on
top of it. The Minion on the cannon steps forward when
shouting an order, and the cannon tilts downward, aiming at
Napoleon. It FIRES, blasting him off-screen.
8
MINIONS BL Draft 6.

EXT: HILLSIDE - DAY
The Minions RUN FOR IT, stampeding over the snowy hills away
from the French Army.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
One particular employer took their
failure very, very badly.
A group of soldiers charges the Minions.
The Minions disappear into the distance.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
The Minions had no other choice but
to keep moving.
The Minions approach a CAVE.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
And then, when all hope seemed
lost...
9
INT: CAVE - DAY
The Minions walk into the cave and look out at the large
amount of space they have.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...they found sanctuary. The
Minions...were safe.
The Minions CHEER and run into the cave.
9
A choir of Minions enthusiastically sings a Minion version of
“We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”
TIME LAPSE:
We see Minions rolling giant snowballs, standing in line for
ice cream cones and throwing snow at each other.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Years passed, as the Minions forged
their own civilization. They truly
made a life for themselves.
More Minions throw snowballs at each other as their
UNDERGROUND VILLAGE builds up behind them. As time goes on,
we see their snowball fight become lethargic and boring.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
But something just wasn’t right.
MINIONS BL Draft 7.
A depressed Minion lies on a psychiatric couch, explaining
his woes to another Minion in a chair. Behind him is a HUGE
LINE of other Minions.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
They felt empty inside. Without a
master, they had no purpose. They
became aimless, and depressed.
A Minion plays ping-pong with his buddy, but his friend is SO
DEPRESSED he lets the ball bounce off his head.
The Minions’ version of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” is
now more sad. Several Minions even burst into tears.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
If this continued any longer, the
Minions would perish.
The Minions walk through their village, depressed. A single
Minion stands on a ledge, watching.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
But all was NOT lost, for ONE
MINION had a plan. His name
was...Kevin.
Kevin climbs onto a platform in the cave. He is pacing back
and forth, practicing his speech. Kevin looks down at index
cards with his speech.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
He was EXCITED to share his idea
with the tribe. He’d been
preparing for days, weeks,
months...but now he was ready!
The Minions start lumbering toward him. THIS IS IT.
...but Kevin fumbles his cards.
He goes to pick them up, sighs. They’re all out of order.
He makes up his mind to go ahead with it and defiantly tosses
them to the side.
Kevin gives his speech. Points up, to the cave entrance. He
DRAMATICALLY DECLARES HIS INTENTIONS!
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Kevin would leave the cave--
The Minions GASP.
MINIONS BL Draft 8.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Go back to the outside world, and
HE WOULD NOT return until he had
found HIS TRIBE THE BIGGEST,
BADDEST VILLAIN TO SERVE!
KEVIN
(arms out)
KIDAY COME ME?!?!
NARRATOR (V.O.)
But he needed help.
The Minions are dead silent, except for one Minion. A tiny
runt of a creature named BOB.
BOB
Me coming!
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Bob was eager to go, but Kevin
thought he was just not strong
enough for the dangerous journey
ahead.
KEVIN
Uh... no. Una otra Minion?
Bob continues to JUMP UP AND DOWN, increasingly more excited.
The Minions look sheepish. No one wants to go.
BOB
Me! Me! Chosa me!
A Minion in the crowd raises a UKULELE. They PART WAYS,
revealing: STUART. A one-eyed Minion who is fast asleep and
snoring. Another Minion holds up his ukulele.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Luckily, someone stepped up...
Stuart groggily wakes up and waves to the crowd, confused.
The other Minions CHEER.
Kevin summons Stuart, who approaches the platform, ukelele in
hand. Stuart happily accepts the attention from the other
Minions, even though he’s not sure why.
STUART
Me? Thank you, heh, thank you...
MINIONS BL Draft 9.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Truth be told, Stuart had NO IDEA
what he was chosen for...
He passes by Bob, annoyed he was overlooked.
BOB
Porque le!?
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...but was thrilled it made people
cheer for him.
Stuart yells to the crowd from the platform.
STUART
Thank you, la tota! Thank you!
Stuart wants to take advantage of this and starts to play his
ukulele. Kevin pushes him out of the way.
KEVIN
Una otra?
Bob continues to jump up and down. He picks up a block of
ice and holds it above his head. He FARTS. The ground
collapses under the weight, and the block pins him beneath
the ice.
KEVIN (CONT’D)
Uhhh, okay...no otra?
Bob peeks out from beneath the rock and pleads to be chosen.
BOB
Kevin! Kevin! Me! Choosa me,
Kevin!
KEVIN
(unwillingly)
Ugh...komay.
Bob eagerly runs to the platform.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Eventually Bob’s energy and
enthusiasm, but mostly lack of
other volunteers, changed Kevin’s
mind.
KEVIN, BOB, & STUART
Kumbaya!
10
MINIONS BL Draft 10.
INT: MINION CAVE - LATER
Kevin, Stuart and Bob leave, the Minions wave and cheer.
Smiling for the first time in a while.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
The tribe said their farewells.
Kevin had given them something they
hadn’t had in a very long
time...hope.
Bob hugs Minions good-bye.
KEVIN (O.S.)
Hey Bob! Tu le komay?
BOB
Si, si...
10
He catches up to Kevin and Stuart, looking behind and waving.
BOB (CONT’D)
(nervously)
Bye, bye...
11
EXT: CAVE - DAY
They exit the cave and look in the distance where their
future awaits.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Kevin felt pride, he was going to
be the one to save his tribe...
Stuart felt hungry, mostly, he was
going to be the one to eat this
banana.
11
Stuart pulls out a banana and examines it. Bob walks up next
to Kevin and Stuart.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
And Bob...
Bob looks out at the frozen, desolate plains ahead of them.
BOB
Oh...
NARRATOR (V.O.)
...Bob was frightened of the
journey ahead.
MINIONS BL Draft 11.
Kevin picks up on this, puts his hand on Bob’s shoulder. He
comforts him and explains the importance of their quest.
KEVIN
Finto le boss.
Bob composes himself and SIGHS.
BOB
Okay, okay. La kita le big boss!
KEVIN
Ahaha, le Bob! Komay.
Kevin takes Bob’s hand and they set out into the snowy
landscape.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
And they were off. Off to find
their new boss!
The three Minions walk off in the distance, Stuart leading
the way, Bob and Kevin close behind.
CUT TO:
The Minions traipse along in the snow, across mountains and
through forests. Kevin carries a tired Bob for part of the
journey. Later, when Bob wakes up he’s full of energy and
runs all around. They wander through some high grass and
ultimately make it to the ocean.
12
EXT: OPEN SEA - DAY
12
A canoe on the high seas. The Minions paddle. Stuart stops,
exhausted.
Bob’s stomach GROWLS.
KEVIN
Le bito?
BOB
(pointing to mouth)
Ma toca.
STUART
Polano la ma toca...
A very tired and hungry Stuart looks at Kevin and Bob.
MINIONS BL Draft 12.
STUART (CONT’D)
Huh? Banana?
POV - STUART: He sees them as TWO BANANAS.
BANANA KEVIN
Stuart? Makalino?
STUART
Banana...banana!!
Stuart LEAPS ON KEVIN, starts to lick him. They SLAP-FIGHT.
Bob joins in, sucking on Kevin’s head.
KEVIN
Bob! Stopa!
Just then, we hear the foghorn from a nearby STEAMSHIP. The
Minions stop fighting, as they watch it pass...
...revealing the STATUE OF LIBERTY. They are heading toward
NEW YORK CITY.
Bob excitedly JUMPS OFF THE CANOE and swims for shore!
KEVIN (CONT’D)
Bob!
CHYRON TEXT: New York, 1968
Kevin and Stuart paddle behind him, excited.
13
EXT: PIER - DAY
They pull themselves up onto the pier.
NEW YORK CITY is before them. The Minions have never seen
anything like this. Everything is new and shiny...
...and big. Very, very big.
13
They pass by a BILLBOARD: NIXON ‘68: FINALLY A NAME YOU CAN
TRUST!
14
EXT: STREETS OF NYC - DAY
14
The Minions steal some clothes hanging on a laundry line.
Stuart puts on a TIE-DYED SHIRT. Kevin and Bob shake their
heads in disapproval.
MINIONS BL Draft 13.
Stuart puts on a pair of PINK SHORTS, which cover his whole
body. Kevin disapproves. Bob GIGGLES. Stuart opens the fly
and argues back.
But then something catches Kevin’s eye:
Hanging on a clothesline, flapping in the wind and backlit by
the sun like the most regal of flags are DENIM OVERALLS.
Now all wearing overalls, the Minions walk through the
streets of New York City, in awe of the large buildings and
billboards.
MONTAGE:
A COUPLE in a HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE roll by, sightseeing.
SIGHTSEEING WOMAN
Oh, look at that one!
SIGHTSEEING MAN
Whoa!
The Minions sit in the back of a passing GARBAGE TRUCK,
pointing at all the passing attractions as well.
The Minions encounter a group of HIPPIES protesting. Stuart
and Bob join in the chanting, until Kevin leads them away
from the protesters.
BOB
Boo-yah! Boo-yah!
The Minions peer in the window of THE MUSIC PAD, where they
see a WOMAN in a BANANA-patterned dress.
BOB (CONT’D)
Banana!
Bob FOLLOWS her as she exits the store.
Stuart looks in. He lights up when he sees an amazing
INSTRUMENT DISPLAY.
He’s particularly taken by all the guitars. So many shiny
guitars. Classic, electric, bass... He imagines himself in
pictures of a cool surf guitarist and a rock star.
As the Woman in the banana dress enters her taxi cab, Bob is
accidentally thrown into the trunk with other bags.
Stuart looks into the music shop, in a trance. Kevin snaps
his fingers, trying to get Stuart’s attention.
MINIONS BL Draft 14.
KEVIN
Stuart...hey, ho!
Finally, he GRABS Stuart by the goggle, bringing him back to
reality. But then the Woman’s taxi pulls away...
BOB
(from inside the trunk)
Kevin!!!
Kevin and Stuart watch as the cab drives down the street.
KEVIN
(scared)
Bob?!?
In the taxi cab, Bob pushes his way through the back seat.
He pops out next to the Woman, who SCREAMS when she sees him.
He is promptly thrown from the cab.
15
16
EXT: STREETS OF NYC - DAY
Back to Kevin and Stuart, who are running on the sidewalk,
looking for Bob.
KEVIN
Bob? Bob?
And then...on the other side of the street, they see Bob
walking.
KEVIN (CONT’D)
Bob!
Bob is headed past a department store, FANCY’S. Bob stops
and looks at the revolving doors. He enters the store.
Kevin and Stuart RUN ACROSS THE BUSY STREET.
INT: DEPARTMENT STORE - NIGHT
Bob enters. He looks around:
Bob looks up at the crowds. Big scary world.
DEPARTMENT STORE ANNOUNCER

DEPARTMENT STORE ANNOUNCER
Check out our wide selection of go-
go boots and mini-skirts.
Kevin and Stuart run through the revolving doors as well.
They see Bob on an escalator.
KEVIN
Bob! C’est le Bob! Komay!
They run after him, shoving people out of their way, but he
is gone by time they get there.
They decide to split up and look for him.
Kevin and Stuart walk through the department store, calling
for Bob.
DEPARTMENT STORE ANNOUNCER
(LOUDSPEAKER)
The store is now closing--
hey...what are you doing?!
KEVIN
(on the loudspeaker)
Scusa, scusa. Bob! Ou le tu?
Bob?
DEPARTMENT STORE ANNOUNCER
(LOUDSPEAKER)
Give me that!
Bob, who is wandering near the changing rooms, hears this.
BOB
Oh! Kevin?
17
INT: DEPARTMENT STORE - CHANGING ROOM - NIGHT
Bob enters a CHANGING ROOM...
...with tons of MIRRORS. Bob sees what looks like 100
MINIONS! He looks at all of them in awe.
BOB
Le buddies? Che la maka! Hey!
C’est la Bob!
He RUNS FOR THEM. WHAM! Hits the glass, HARD.
BOB (CONT’D)
Hey! Le Buddies? No?
