Bello! It is July. The month of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey, Madonna’s Confessions II<\/em>, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final is upon us. But wait? What\u2019s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? Well, actually, it\u2019s more than a<\/em> monster \u2014 It\u2019s Minions & Monsters. Yes, those adorable yellow henchmen (who may or may not have allied themselves to Hitler once upon a time \u2014 Google it!) are back this month in an Old Hollywood adventure filled with Citizen Kane homages, toilet humour, pure Minionese sequences, and *checks notes*<\/em> a baby Cthulhu. Thank the maker!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n With the Minions back on our screens, this time with a whole buttload of many-eyed and monstrous friends, we here at Empire HQ have gone a little bit monster mad. And the result? Well, we\u2019ve only gone and pulled out three more animated monster movies for you, your friends, and the whole family to stream as soon as you get back from the multiplex, little yellow friend themed cup and popcorn bucket in hand.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So kick back, relax, and join us as Empire\u2019s own Kevin, Stuart, and Bob \u2014 namely Deputy Online Editor Ben Travis, Social Media Editor Harry Stainer, and Online Writer Jordan King \u2014 present your post-Minions & Monsters<\/em> must-sees. Enjoy\u2026<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Directors:<\/strong> Pete Docter, David Silverman, Lee Unkrich | Runtime:<\/strong> 1hr 33m | Streaming on:<\/strong> Disney+<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Starring:<\/strong> John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, Jennifer Tilly<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n No doubt about it: Monsters, Inc.<\/em> is still pure genius. Pixar\u2019s buddy-movie creature-feature sees big fuzzy scare-king Sully (John Goodman) and little green sarcastic orb Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) forced to chase a tiny human toddler set loose in the world of Monstropolis \u2013 with all the monsters deathly terrified of humans, naturally. Packed with toothy, tentacley life forms, it\u2019s a beautifully-designed film that revels in the history of monster cinema \u2013 keep an eye out for Harryhausen\u2019s restaurant. And when you\u2019re done, why not double up and treat yourself to underrated, similarly easter egg-stuffed sequel Monsters University, a fun prequel that follows a young Mike and Sully at \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 Monster University! BT<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Read Empire<\/em>\u2019s review of Monsters, Inc..<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Directors:<\/strong> Steve Box, Nick Park | Runtime:<\/strong> 1hr 25m | Streaming on:<\/strong> Prime Video<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Starring:<\/strong> Peter Sallis, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham-Carter, Peter Kay<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The only way to top a murderous chicken ahem penguin is to go all in on an old-school monster movie. And that\u2019s exactly what Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit<\/em> does. The duo\u2019s first feature-length adventure embraces full-fledged mayhem as their town comes under threat from a vegetable-stealing, carrot-obsessed creature. Packed with delightfully absurd British Aardman humour \u2014 from wrestling nuns to Ralph Fiennes\u2019 gloriously ridiculous Lord Victor Quartermaine and his over-the-top toupee \u2014 the film lands every joke like a 24-carrot bullet to the funny bone. Aardman\u2019s unmistakable love of classic monster movies is also on full display, delivering spooky imagery and a plot that is way less predictable than you’d think, all this amounts to a yarn that both adults and children can happily sink their teeth into. Cracking stuff! HS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Read Empire<\/em>\u2019s review of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Chris Williams | Runtime:<\/strong> 1hr 59m | Streaming on:<\/strong> Netflix<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Starring:<\/strong> Karl Urban, Zaris Angel-Hator, Jared Harris, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dan Stevens<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Having first co-helmed Disney\u2019s Big Hero Six and Bolt, Chris Williams\u2019 criminally underseen solo directorial debut was a total breath of fresh air when it hit Netflix in 2022. A swashbuckling seafaring animated adventure with shades of Moana and How To Train Your Dragon woven into its surprisingly complex narrative, Williams\u2019 film is as impressive for what it says about our world as for the brilliantly animated way it says it. Karl Urban is a hoot as legendary monster hunter Jacob Holland (think Guybrush Threepwood with muscles), who is joined by feisty, wide-eyed stowaway Maisie (Zaris Angel-Hator) on a monster hunt that soon has them questioning who the real monsters in their story truly are. Come for the adorable wonder of creature design that is Red and a monster movie all the family can enjoy; stay for a thoughtful, nuanced reckoning with the legacy of colonialism. Yippee!
