Who's in it? The animated movie uses voices from Steve Carrell , Danny Trejo , Alan Arkin , Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme . Review: My entire family is fans of the Minions/Despicable Me movies but, by the time I heard about this film, I had serious doubts about the quality. After all, even the best franchises grow stale after awhile.  That's why I didn't bother paying money to see this at the theater but did take advantage of being able to see it on Peacock.

The movie stars Dolph Lundgren , Kristina Klebe , Tony Bentley , James Chalke and Miles Doleac .

As a result, I ended up going with this film, which I had come across on Netflix and thought looked interesting. Since I knew it was a low-budget film, I wasn't really expecting all that much from this movie. Unfortunately, even with those lowered expectations, I found I wasn't overly impressed with this film.
