Though, you still might be asking what the Minions even are! They're short little dudes with yellow bodies that carry between cylindrical to spherical. That means they're just really helpful! They started as a family of 230 and grew to 10,400, serving the epic Gru in Despicable Me. Why? Well, you'd think it was for survival purposes, but given the fact that they can withstand lava and lightning bolts, they probably didn't need any help there.

Of course, before you dive into the Minionese dictionary to figure out what the heck you are doing, we can help answer a few of your questions! The Minions started as a handful of folks who were really just out there hunting down the most powerful being they could find. That's why there's nothing more FUN than suiting up in a Minion costume! Whether you're looking to help your tykes find the perfect Minions Halloween costume for the October holiday or trying to find the ultimate in Minions birthday party madness, you need look no further, for we are here to serve!

How do you imagine that the Minions came to exist? Do you think that Universal developers were just staring at the breakfast aisle and suddenly wondered if a bunch of bananas could become the new hit for an upcoming film? Or could those seemingly immortal creatures have just shown up in droves, seeking worthwhile employment? No matter how they were inspired, we know that Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and the rest have lept into our hearts and become the ultimate in kooky characters!
