Despite the fact that the Minions are single-celled yellow organisms, they’ve been working for the likes of Napoleon, T. Rex, and Gru, and they live to serve their masters. And in the upcoming movie, they’ll be looking to find a new evil boss to grovel to.
Origins of the Minions
Whether you’re a fan of the Minions or haven’t seen them yet, you may be wondering how they got started. It turns out that they have been around since the dawn of time, searching for their master.
The word minion is derived from the Middle French word mignon, which means “darling”. It first appeared in English during the 1500s. It was used to mean “a person who pleases, is low dependent, or obeys orders.”
Minions first gained public attention with the 2010 animated film Despicable Me. They aren’t as cute as they seem. They are surprisingly complex and have exceptional engineering skills. Throughout the movie, they survive incidents that would kill them in real life.
The Minions were created by the art director Eric Guillon, who worked on several Illumination films. They’re officially the mascot for Illumination, an animation studio owned by Comcast.
The Minions were initially meant to be paired with a family of villains. However, their love of entertainment soon rubbed off on older generations.
The Rise of Gru’s story
MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU is the origin story of Gru. It is a fun and colorful cartoon, containing fight sequences, martial arts and vehicle chases. The film is also accompanied by a minion-fied soundtrack of big dance hits.

He is rejected because he is only 11 years old. However, he still aspires to become the worst villain ever. To prove that he is villainous, Gru steals a Zodiac Stone from the villains. He then entrusts it to one of his Minions. The Minions then work together to rescue him.
MINIONS: THE RISE of GRU also introduces a new Minion character, Stuart. Stuart is a new Minion that is wearing braces.
MINIONS: THE RISE MIGHT MAKE YOU SMILE! While “The Rise of Gru” might not be the best film, it is still a fun, comical animated feature. It features catchy needle drops, a Puss in Boots trick, and an original song by St. Vincent. The soundtrack also features minion-fied versions of big dance hits such as “Funkytown” and “Goodbye to Love”.
