What are Minions?

Minions are small, yellow creatures that first appeared in the movie Despicable Me in 2010.
They are known for their silly antics, gibberish language, and loyal devotion to their villainous master, Gru.
Since their debut, Minions have become a cultural phenomenon, appearing in movies, TV shows, video games, and even their own spin-off movie, Minions.
