Minions is set to be one of the biggest animation hits of 2015 as the popular characters get their own solo movie for the first time.

There's only three weeks to go until Minions hits the big screen and a cheeky new poster for the movie has been released.

We are use to seeing the Minions working for Gru in Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 in 2010 and 2013 - but this movie takes place before they met this terrible villain.

Minions sees Pierre Coffin back in the director's chair - he was behind the two Despicable Me movies - but this time he has teamed up with Kyle Balda - he is no stranger to animation films either with The Lorax already under his belt.

Another great voice cast has been assembled for the film, as Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Allison Janney, Michael Keaton, and Steve Coogan are just some of the great names on board.

Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters - from T. rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teenage rebel 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 Minionkind... from annihilation.
