Let’s face it, the big reason why the Despicable Me franchise is successful is because of all those Minions, all 101 of them with Phil, Kevin and Dave being the most prominent. Well that is not the exact number because they multiply fast. They are just as cute as those Dalmatians, however they are more like the Martians from Toy Story, ooohing and aahing at everything they encounter.
And these characters do not disappoint in their hilarious hi-jinks. In fact, they even outdo the Penguins of Madagascar as great comedic teams. Fans of slapstick will no doubt be looking forward to the Minion movie, due in theaters Dec 2014, more than the Penguins, due in 2015.
