Wendy's is launching a nationwide promotion inspired by Illumination's upcoming animated movie, "Minions & Monsters," featuring specialized menu items and themed collectibles, according to a press release. Bello! is a greeting in the Minion language.

The QSR chain has launched its Minions & Monsters Kids' Meal, which is available now. Starting June 15, Wendy's will debut the adult Minions & Monsters Meal, featuring the new Banana Frosty Swirl, a blend of banana cream sauce with a vanilla Frosty base. The adult meal includes a choice of a Big Bacon Classic or a new Spicy Chicken Sandwich, fries, the specialized Frosty, a custom Coca-Cola Freestyle beverage, and one of four exclusive blind-box collectibles.

"The best partnerships start with an understanding of what our fans are passionate about," Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. CMO for The Wendy's Company, said in the press release. "By bringing together one of the world's most beloved entertainment franchises with Wendy's iconic, high-quality food our customers love, we're creating shared experiences that fans will go bananas for this summer!"

The promotion leads up to the theatrical release of "Minions & Monsters" on July 1. Fans in Los Angeles can access a preview of the adult meal on June 11 during a themed drive-thru event at the Wendy's location on East Imperial Highway in Norwalk, California.

Wendy's has more than 7,000 restaurants nationwide.
