Christopher Meridandry, the producer, revealed that at the beginning of animation design, the appearance of Minions was far from the image presented on the big screen, and most of them were meat balls covered with spots, irregular shapes and antennas. He also introduced that the entire animation production team designed thousands of Minions shapes, found many people from all walks of life to conduct research and interviews, and finally selected the capsule shapes we saw.

We didn't know that Minions has a very long history and has an indissoluble bond with dinosaurs until The Legend of Minions was published. And it was because of mistakes that it was successfully eliminated? Dracula the vampire. According to the information disclosed by the screenwriter, Minions evolved from a single-celled organism.

Minions in the expansion, their appearance makes the film very "hot" when the whole animation story is not very brilliant. These wannabe have their own unique language, with short arms and legs, and they are particularly cute when walking. They are hardworking and brave, and love bananas and ice cream. Although it's easy to get distracted, I still have a fan.

Although they listen to Gru, they are not brainless robots. Another feature of Minions is that no matter whether they are cleaners, firefighters, tennis players or policemen, they just dress up as themselves as long as they wear certain clothes. In a sense, the success of Despicable Me is attributed to Minions's performance.
