The Despicable Me Minions had everyone hysterical before they ever got their own feature film — which gives kids an inside look into what life was like for the Minions before they met the despicable Gru, and way before Margo, Agnes, and Edith came along. And now that their story is out in theaters, they also have plenty of their own toys!
Before taking your kids to see the film (let's be honest, we know you want to see it, too), get them up to speed with some of the new Minions items — a plush to snuggle with in the theater, walkie–talkies to communicate from the snack line to the theater seats — and keep the Minion fun going long after the credits roll.
Everybody loves a good fart joke, especially the Minions! The Despicable Me Fart Blaster ($20) will have everyone laughing, and it even comes with a timer mode so that kids can surprise innocent passersby. The best part? The "farts" smell like bananas!
Whether you're checking in from the movie snack line to the theater seats or across the neighbors' backyards, these Minions Walkie-Talkies ($40) are too cute not to want to use everywhere!
