Description

Minions are the many fictional yellow creatures that appear in the Despicable Me franchise, which started with Despicable Me , and are characterized by their unique language and childlike behavior. They are also the official mascots of Illumination, a division of Universal Pictures. Following Comcast's purchase of NBCUniversal, they have even been described as being a corporate icon for Universal and Comcast, on par with Disney's Mickey Mouse.


Characteristics
The Minions are small, yellow henchmen shaped like pill capsules. They are depicted as being roughly one-third to one-half the height of normal humans. They have one or two eyes, and their eyes are almost always brown . They have no discernable noses but seem capable of smelling, as they are shown smelling fruit or being affected by the Fart Gun. They are also shown without ears but can hear and respond to sounds. Most minions appear either bald or with a few wispy strands of black hair on their heads. Their clothing consists of blue overalls emblazoned with Gru's logo, black rubber gloves, shoes, and goggles. They mostly speak incomprehensible gibberish, which is partly derived from other languages, including Bahasa Indonesia, French, English, Italian, Spanish, and Hindi. Although seemingly nonsensical, the English-sounding dialogue is dubbed differently for every country, in order to make the sounds somewhat recognizable. They have the most ordinary of names, with Kevin, Stuart and Bob being the names of the lead trio in Minions, and Mel being the leader of the Minions in Despicable Me 3.Minions, the 2015 animated feature film, shows that they have existed since the beginning of life on Earth. It's unknown if they are immortal or just age very slowly, but the minions depicted in the film are explicitly stated to be thousands of years old. Because they cannot die by natural means but are otherwise as vulnerable to harm as anyone else, Minions actively fear being injured or killed and are prone to panicking when in serious danger. Minions are biologically wired to seek out and serve the most terrible of villains, when they have no "boss" to serve they become depressed and listless. In the 2010 short film "Banana", the Minions are revealed to have an almost uncontrollable craving for fruit, especially bananas.

The mocking Minion drops the replacement lamp during one of his laughing fits, so the others stick him in the socket so that his eye can serve as the lamp. The ad promoted the chain's claim that they had the brightest 3D projection system of any theater chain. At first, the clip played exclusively before showings of Despicable Me 2, but now Cinemark uses the ad freely before any 3D movie.
