What are The Minions?
The minions are yellow, overall-wearing alien creatures that have one or two eyes. They wear glasses or goggles that look like jar lids. They blatantly steal every scene they’re in, and they mostly act like children or stupid adults.
Minions speak a little bit of English combined with their own incomprehensible language, but they have common American names like Kevin, Stuart and Bob.
Minions love bananas, potatoes, pranks, and Gru. They also adore Agnes, Edith and Margo. They see Gru as a parenting father figure, and are treated like his own children, while they’re also his henchmen. (source)
Minions appear in the following movies:
