Quick recap

The Minions have been around since the dawn of time and only want to serve the worst villain they can find, but they always end up killing the boss by accident. With no master, the tribe hides in a cave and gets depressed. In 1968, Kevin, Stuart and Bob set out to find a new boss. At Villain-Con in Orlando they meet Scarlet Overkill, the world's first female supervillain, who takes them to London to steal Queen Elizabeth II's crown. Bob pulls the sword from the stone and becomes king by accident. Furious, Scarlet goes after the trio. Kevin grows into a giant, saves his friends and beats Scarlet. In the end, a boy named Gru steals the crown, and the Minions decide they've found their boss.
