Visitors to Cineworld the O2, Greenwich came eyeball-to-eyeball last week with a giant, squishy, orange monster called Irene.
She’s the larger-than-life star of the new Minions & Monsters movie, and she took centre stage at a free immersive experience to celebrate the new release.
Along with a ballpit for kids to unleash their inner Minion and banana-shaped furniture to lounge on, visitors could pose ‘inside’ Irene’s giant folds for an eye-popping photo op.
Carved from giant polystyrene blocks covered in layers of foam and paint, specially-formulated by the team here at Plunge to create a glossy, spongy finish that's touchable and durable, we also gave Irene multiple moving and blinking eyeballs.
Irene will be at Cineworld Sheffield until Thursday 17th July, don’t miss her or Minions & Monsters, in cinemas now!
