Who narrates the 2015 animated film Minions?

Geoffrey Rush narrates the 2015 animated film Minions.

Rush provides the narration that introduces the Minions’ history and follows their search for a powerful master. His narration gives the opening sections a storybook, historical tone as the film moves through different eras and explains the creatures’ long-standing devotion to villains.

The principal voice cast includes Pierre Coffin as Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, while Sandra Bullock voices Scarlet Overkill and Jon Hamm voices Herb Overkill. Michael Keaton appears as Walter Nelson, and Steve Coogan voices Professor Flux and the Tower Guard.

Geoffrey Rush’s narration is easy to confuse with the film’s many celebrity voices because the movie has a large ensemble cast. He is the narrator, not the voice of the three principal Minions or one of the Overkills.
