Are the Despicable Me and Minions movies on Netflix? (where to watch)

While Netflix boasts an extensive collection of movies and shows, its offerings for the Despicable Me and Minions movies are rather limited.

Unfortunately, the streaming platform comes up a bit short in terms of the main movie lineup. Presently, Netflix only provides access to Minions & More 1 and Minions & More 2, which consist of a compilation of entertaining Minions shorts from within the Despicable Me franchise and Minions: The Rise of Gru.

If you’re eager for a Despicable Me and Minions movie marathon, your top choice would be to explore Fubo TV (or Peacock), where you’ll find an expansive array of Despicable Me films at your fingertips.

For another option, you can opt to purchase or rent all the movies through platforms like Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, iTunes, or Vudu. This way, you’ll have the flexibility to enjoy the entire series on your own terms.
