    Popular satirist and actress Littizzetto will voice the evil Scarlet Overkill, while television presenter Fazio will dub her husband Herbert ("Herb") Overkill.

The dubbing cast also features actor and television personality Riccardo Rossi as the friendly criminal father figure Walter Nelson, and star blogger Selvaggia Lucarelli as Madge. The film, directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, tells the story of small, yellow creatures called Minions who have existed since the beginning of time and have only one aim: to serve history's most despicable villains. After accidentally destroying all their maters they fall into depression and so three Minions come up with a plot to find a new one.
    During their travels they encounter the stylish and ambitious super-villain Scarlet Overkill and compete for the right to be her henchmen.
    Their adventure eventually leads them to London, where they have to steal the crown of Queen Elizabeth in order to save all Minions.
