We're not lying when we say we absolutely love Minions.

If you're not familiar with them, they're the little yellow dudes from Despicable Me that talk in, well, Minion-ese. It's funny, trust us.

What with the runaway success of Despicable Me and the even-funnier Despicable Me 2, it's no surprise that the Minions are getting their own spin-off.

Imaginatively titled 'Minions', it traces the origins of the yellow, one-eyed weirdos and how they tried to serve every great villain in history - including Dracula, Napoleon, the Pharaohs and even dinosaurs.

The spin-off is due out in July 2015 and will star the voices of Michael Keaton, Sandra Bullock, Steve Coogan, Jon Hamm and Allison Janney.

Here's the trailer.
