It's fascinating to reflect on how the original Despicable Me was Studio Illumination's debut feature film, co-produced with Paris-based animation studio Mac Guff, which launched a wildly successful franchise. Minion Rush itself has been a massive hit, boasting over a billion downloads and thriving for more than a decade.

Despite some finding Steve Carell's Gru and his iconic yellow minions a bit over the top, their popularity shows no signs of waning. With the upcoming film release, interest in the series is set to soar even higher.
