Now Viewing: minion_(despicable_me)Tag type: Character A race of overall wearing yellow earplug-shaped creatures with two hands and legs. Some of them have two eyes, others have only one. They are the minions of Despicable_Me's protagonist, Gru, and they are highly loyal to him. Their affection for him is reciprocated with Gru not taking kindly to anyone harming them. In spite of their loyalty, they are quite bumbling and their antics are the source of a great deal of humor in the Despicable Me franchise, but they are quite skilled at building gadgets. They speak their own distinct made-up language, which is not translated for the audience and many of the characters in-universe have no idea what they are saying though the Minions themselves seem to be able to understand humans. However, there are some recognizable loan words taken from various languages. They were originally a group of supporting characters, but they quickly became immensely popular and featured heavily in advertisements for the franchise as well as starring in many shorts. Their popularity led to them starring in a prequel film, Minions, which tells their backstory. The Minions are naturally inclined to serve who they consider to be the most powerful and fearsome villain. But until they met Gru, their bosses tended to not last long due to the Minions' bumbling causing the Minions to accidentally kill their boss. This has led to them being ostracized by many species, forcing them to go on the run. While they are capable of living a self-sufficient existence for a short period of time, without a boss to serve, they eventually become severely depressed, losing all passion for life. They are voiced by one of the films' directors, Pierre Coffin. Other Wiki Information Last updated: 07/14/15 6:08 PM by jojosstand This entry is not locked and you can edit it as you see fit. |
