Hollywood 3D computer-animated comedy film "Minions" is all set to hit theatres in India on July 10.

Universal Pictures India is releasing the movie, which is a prequel/spin-off to "Despicable Me" (2010) and "Despicable Me 2" (2013).

"Minions" features an ensemble voice-cast including the likes of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders and Geoffrey Rush.

The story revolves around a Minion named Kevin who along with Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain.
 

They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minion kind from annihilation.

Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the '60s, "Minions" is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda.

"This movie is not just for one audience. It is for a broad audience, but we tried to be witty about it, meaning that every time there is a joke, we try putting multiple levels on it. That's the magic of animation. You can express everything for your characters with sheer physical movements," Coffin said in a statement.
