Minions are fictional yellow creatures that appear in Illumination's
Despicable Me
franchise.
They are characterized by their childlike behavior and
unique language, which is largely unintelligible.
Stuart, Kevin and
Bob are three of the most familiar minions and appear as stars in the
spin-off prequel
Minions
from 2015.
Stuart is playful, friendly, intelligent and funny.
He is skillful at video games. He can also be the most sincere and
innocent out of all the minions. He also seems to have a rebellious
and obstreperous attitude. He is considered to be a slacker among the
other minions, preferring to chill out and play the ukulele than
listen to the rules. Also, he was said to be always hungry in Minions,
such as when he attempted to eat Kevin and Bob when he was thinking of
them as bananas, and even tried to eat a yellow fire hydrant in New
York.
“Oh! Hello, papaguena! Tu le bella comme le papaya.“
— thinking a fire hydrant is pretty.
Kevin loves to make fun of and tease people or other
minions. He likes playing golf polo and cricket. In the film Minions,
he is the main protagonist and leader of the trio in search of a new
master. He truly cares about the well-being of the Minion tribe (which
is dependent on them having a proper master).
“C’est le boss! C’est le boss! Komay!”
— seeing young Gru for the first time.
Bob is a minion who is more childish and immature
than most of the other minions. He is described as a "Little Brother"
who finds love in anything and everything, including a rat (who he
named Poochy) he found in a sewer in the Minions film. He also enjoys
bedtime stories and playing with his favorite stuffed teddy bear, Tim.
However, in the audition scene in Despicable Me 2, he (having grown
since the time of Minions) is shown as more mature, albeit still
playful, as well as more of a goofball like all the other minions.
“Boo-yah! Boo-yah!”
— encouraging hippie protesters in New York.
