There's no shortage of love for Minions, from their first appearance in Despicable Me with another movie confirmed for 2024.

But thanks to a TikTok trend, some found that their visit to the movie theatre to watch The Rise of Gru was plagued by kids dressed in suits - not always a bad thing - with reports of these Gentleminions disrupting fellow movie watchers. Social media, huh?

Thankfully, we live in the age of streaming, so watching Minions: The Rise of Gru at home bypasses that Gentleminion risk, unless, of course, you want to dress up at home to watch it yourself.

Minions: The Rise of Gru release date

The movie released at the cinema on 1 July 2022.
