HOLLYWOOD favourites The Minions are in Bradford this Christmas with a special festive message.

Bradford Unesco City of Film has had the short film specially commissioned for the Big Screen by Universal Pictures.

The new Minions movie is out next summer. Before then, Bradfordians can catch the mischievous Minions singing their own Happy Holidays song on Big Screen Bradford from today until January 2, 2015.

David Wilson (pictured), director of Bradford Unesco City of Film, said: “We were delighted when we were given the opportunity to work with Universal Pictures to bring this short festive film to the screen.”

The Minions message will appear randomly on Big Screen Bradford in the holiday period and (subject to change) can be seen at 8am, 8.30am, noon, 1pm, 5pm and 5.30pm daily.

The short film can also be viewed at bradford-city-of-film.com/minions-bring-festive-cheer-to-city-park/.
