The Despicable Me franchise, which began in 2010, has expanded to include a total of seven films, with the latest installment, "Minions & Monsters," scheduled for release in 2026. The mischievous yellow Minions, central to the series' appeal, have appeared in more films than their creator Gru, solidifying the Despicable Me movies as part of a larger Minions universe. IGN awarded the most recent film an 8 out of 10, indicating the characters' enduring popularity.
Unfortunately for fans hoping for a complete movie marathon on a single platform, not all films in the franchise are available through one streaming service. As all Minions movies are produced by Illumination and owned by Universal Studios, they typically debut on Peacock. However, titles do not remain exclusively on the platform, necessitating various subscriptions to access the entire collection.

Physical Media Collections
Currently, there are no Blu-ray box sets that contain every Minions movie. A 10-movie Illumination collection, released in 2020, includes films up to Despicable Me 3 and the first Minions spin-off. This collection can be purchased from Gruv. Following its Blu-ray release on September 8, new box sets for the franchise are anticipated.
