The cute minions are back in a new trailer for "Despicable Me 2". Hyping up the Halloween celebration, the trailer boasts some hilariously "spooky" scenes as two of the yellow little creatures are busted by what seems to be an alien ship, AceShowbiz said.

The sequel to 2010's hit animated movie "Despicable Me" promises to present an all-new comedy adventure featuring the return of Gru, the girls and the unpredictably hilarious minions. It will also introduce a host of new and outrageously funny characters.

Plot details of the forthcoming sequel are still kept secret, but the film will bring back Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Kristen Wiig and Miranda Cosgrove to the voice cast ensemble. Joining them in the cast ensemble is Al Pacino, who will make his animation debut by voicing the major villain.

Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin return to direct the film, which is slated for a July 3, 2013 release in the United States. Serving as the screenwriter is Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul.

The original "Despicable Me" scored a huge success worldwide. Despite its small budget, the 2010 movie grossed more than $540 million worldwide and became the 10th biggest animated motion picture in the U.S. history.
