There is certainly nothing that you might have missed out about the ridiculously popular minions since there were everywhere at the time of the movie launch.

15 Things You Might Not Know About Minions
Minions
The previous season did tell the pre-Despicable Me story without failure of describing Gru’s playful, hilarious, goggled little helpers. But there were things that were still unknown so we thought we would expose the secrets of the delightful minions. Following are some amazing facts that you would love to know about Kevin, Bob, Stuart and all the these crazy little creatures in their crew.
1) There’s Just one true minion
As difficult as it might sound to believe, it is true. The voice given to all the 899 minions is Pierre Coffin’s voice. The co-director of Despicable Me and Minions co-director really outdid himself in creating the voice for this amazing crew of minion henchmen for the film that recently came across.
2) You are not paranoid, you have seen them somewhere before
The Minion
The ideation of minions was the work inspired by Jawas from Star Wars and the Oompa Loompas from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory who initially decided that the minions should be tall and beast like. We are all glad to have found out the way they turned out to be, cute, small and adorable.
3) The dynamic minions are multilingual
Minions Language
Surely you all are fascinated about the language minions speak. The so called “Minionese”, the minion language is a cocktail of Spanish, English, French and Italian with a hint of Russian and Korean as well. They are quite the stars and versatile in all ways. They are truly classy.
4) You’ll never be able to guess their age
Age is just a number
According to Coffin’s explanation minions are ancient creatures which is why they speak so many languages. They have served various masters over the time and have developed and evolved with the world. They still look so amazingly young. Aren’t they just amazing?
5) Minions are a boy’s team

Well this is rather dull but there are no minion females. Another amazing fact is that they are all classy Brits with names like Dave, Carl, Kevin, Steve, Phil, Jerry, Tim, Bob, Lance, Stuart and Norbert even though there are very few whose names have been clearly mentioned.
6) There’s a whole bouquet of Despicable Me Movies
Stuart, Kevin and Bob, the famous three had been carefully created to resemble the characteristics of Gru’s daughters, Edith, Margot and Agnes, from the Despicable Me movies.
