When you think about the Despicable Me franchise, the first image that usually pops into mind are those cute little Minions in overalls, talking in their nonsensical language while earnestly (and a bit too cheerfully) trying to help their evil villain boss with whatever evil plan he or she has hatched.

There’s no denying that the Minions are the breakout stars of the franchise – they even got their own spin-off film back in 2015, Minions, which raked in more than US$1bil in the global box-office.
