Panic in the Mailroom is a short film that is included with the Blu-ray release of Despicable Me 2.

Plot

The Minions Mike and Ken are busy at work in the Mailroom. Ken, bored, decides to throw a box of expired PX-41 samples into its designated chute, clogging it. The box explodes when Mike tries to remove it, and the serum pours on him, turning him into an Evil Minion. The infected Minion mutates back forth between his normal body and his PX-41 affected body, and he eventually eats a lot of packages.

This leads to trouble when three kittens end up in a box headed towards the mailroom. Ken manages to keep the kittens out of Mike's hands. At last, Mike coughs out the PX-41 out, but the mutagen lands on the kittens and they are thus mutated to giant monsters.
