If you loved Minions, try Minions: The Rise of Gru

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kyle Balda, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Minions, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
