When these adorable pint-sized yellow creatures first burst onto our movie screens in the first installment of the animated series, Despicable Me, who knew that they would be such a hit with both kids and grown-ups? We gotta admit that we have a soft spot for these cartoon characters and if you simply can’t get enough of Gru and the Minions, Universal Studios Singapore is bringing the DESPICABLE ME Breakout Party to Singapore for the very first time! Here’s what you can look forward to.
Catch zany performances and meet the Minions
It’s Prison Break, Minions-style, with the energetic dance extravaganza, Minion Mob, featuring the characters dressed up in prison uniforms. Groove along to the ‘Jailbird Minions’ as they carouse down the Hollywood zone and put on a grand parade. Don’t forget to snap a couple of selfies with the Minions and Gru at the meet-and-greet session right after.
Minion Mob, Hollywood Zone, daily until 20 August (the timing is a surprise!)
Snag a spot at ‘Rodney’s Rotten Game Show’ at the Hollywood Lagoon Stage, where Rodney Rotten from Despicable Me 3 will be hosting and bringing to you performances by the Minions and the debut appearance of Minion Mel and Gru in Universal Studios Singapore. And who knows? You might even have a chance to take part in the trivia contests and banana eating competition.
Rodney’s Rotten Game Show, Hollywood Lagoon Stage, 12pm, 2.30pm and 5.30pm from Sundays to Fridays and 12pm, 2pm and 5.30pm on Saturdays
Get (temporarily) inked with tattoos
Take a walk on the wild side with temporary tattoos at the DESPICABLE ME 3 “Tattoo Parlour”. Choose from various adorable designs of your favourite characters and stick ‘em anywhere you’d like. Bring along the young’uns – kids under 12 years old get one complimentary tattoo each!
Nibble on irresistible Minion-themed goodies
We’re suckers for all things cute – especially if they’re edible. Load up on salted egg yolk custard buns, banana and chocolate cupcakes, soft serve ice cream and other snacks that resemble the yellow critters at the pop-up Minions food and beverage stall. Trust us, they’re almost too adorable to eat.
Take on fun Minion games and win prizes
Are you dexterous like Gru or a total klutz like the Minions? Challenge your finesse at the carnival game stalls, where you’ll get to shoot down capsules with a Nerf gun at Minion Blaster, knock down cups with a ball at Super Silly Space Killer, and more – and win Despicable Me merchandise!
