The Minions, originating from Illumination Entertainment's animated film series Despicable Me and its spin-off series Minions, are small, yellow, capsule-shaped creatures with either one or two eyes.
In the setting of the Despicable Me series, the Minions were created by Gru and Dr. Nefario using two cups of banana pulp, mutant DNA, and fatty acids, resulting in small, yellow capsule-like beings. However, in the Minions series, they are depicted as having evolved from single-celled organisms billions of years ago, with a history tracing back at least to the dinosaur era.
The Minions speak an indecipherable language—an odd linguistic structure blending various human tongues. With their simple nature and impulsive temperament, yet endowed with an innocent disposition, they have endeared themselves to audiences and resonated with viewers worldwide.
