Biography

More than ten years after their creation, Illumination’s Minions are among the most iconic animated characters of their generation. Globally recognized and beloved by fans of all ages, they have propelled Illumination’s Despicable Me into the most successful global animated film franchise in history. Bright yellow, instantly unforgettable, speaking a language that no one knows but that everyone can understand, the Minions have become icons of self-expression in pop culture on every continent of the globe. Kevin is the leader of the Minions and he won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of Gru’s dreams. Stuart is the one-eyed rebel who would rather sleep in and rock out with his guitar than risk his life on another dangerous mission. But, like the rest of Minions, he’s hopelessly committed to Gru. Bob is the shortest and most childlike of the group. His naïve and gentle nature often gets him into dangerous situations. He completely idolizes Gru and, if he’s danger, will do anything to save him. And new Minion Otto, as rotund as he is nervously chatty, really wants to be part of the gang, but with braces, lisp and a socially awkward demeanor, he doesn’t always know how to fit in. As the most easily distracted of all the Minions, even simple tasks with Otto can turn into absurd sagas.
