The language known as "Minionese" which is spoken by the minions is a mix between several languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Hebrew, Malay, and gibberish.
The first non-Disney or Pixar animated film to take in $1 billion worldwide at the box office.
The leading three minions were designed to resemble the three little girls from the Despicable Me movies: Margo, Agnes, and Edith.
Some of the Minionese words are taken from Indonesian such as "terima kasih" (thank you), "kemari" (come here), "yang mulia" (your highness) and others. This is mainly because Pierre Coffin's mother is an Indonesian writer, N.H Dini.
