Lightbox: Interview with 'Minions' directors Kyle Balda & Pierre Coffin

In this episode of Lightbox Skwigly's Beverly Yeang talks to Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin, the directors of Universal/Illumination's 'Minions', released in the UK June 26th with a wider release to follow in July.
The story of 'Minions' takes place before the events of the popular 'Despicable Me' series in which the titular ensemble debuted. Following the plight of the gang as they roam through history searching for a true villain to serve, they encounter Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) and attempt to ingratiate themselves by serving her felonious ends.
'Minions' is helmed by Kyle Balda - whose previous credits include co-directing Illumination's 'The Lorax' - joining forces with original 'Despicable Me' co-director Pierre Coffin (who also lends his voice to the Minions themselves).
