I’m pretty sure by now that the real star of the Despicable Me movies is not Gru or any of the little girls he adopted, but it’s actually the countless minions who share the spotlight. My kids loved them in the first movie, and in the second they definitely steal the show whether in their regular form or in their purple bizarro-minion state.
There are minion crafts and minion costumes and fast food meal toys and keychains and cookies and of course…food. What snack is already closer to a minion than a Twinkie?
In celebration of the Despicable Me 2 release on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD, Universal Studios and Hostess are running a sweepstakes in which you can dress up your Twinkie as a minion using a printable set of cut-out parts and accessories – kind of like pieces for a paper doll – then you can upload a photo to enter to win every day through January 5! Prizes include a Despicable Me 2 Blu-ray™ and special offers from Hostess, or the grand prize, which includes a Home Theater System, a collection of 30 Blu-rays and a year’s supply of Hostess treats.
To enter and see all the rules, visit the sweepstakes Facebook page.
