Could there be any mischief brewing ?

In case you missed it a new Tik Tok phenomenon is underway with young people becoming Minnion super fans.

This has led some cinemas to ban young teenagers from coming dressed up to see the newest Minions release, the first film about the yellow fellas for seven years.

No one seems to be laying claim to the new trend but it has taken off even as youngsters and perhaps because the school leavers have been dressed up for Prom. The new fans have been dubbed 'Gentleminions' .

Minions the Rise of Gru has attracted the attention of youngsters wearing suits and recording themselves on social media - that's not the problem. It is that alongside dressing up, they have been cheering, clapping, shouting and mimicking the Minion characters. Other film fans have not been amused and some cinema chains have now imposed a dress up ban.
