Minions are fictional yellow creatures that appear in the Despicable Me franchise, which started with Despicable Me (2010). They are characterized by their childlike behavior and unique language, which is largely unintelligible. They are also the official mascots of Illumination, a division of Universal Pictures, which produces the films. Following Comcast's purchase of NBCUniversal, they have been described as being a corporate icon for Universal and Comcast, on par with The Walt Disney Company's Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, ViacomCBS' SpongeBob SquarePants, and WarnerMedia's Bugs Bunny and the Warner Siblings, although Woody Woodpecker is still considered a mascot for Universal Studios.

Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are three of the most familiar minions, who appear as stars in the film Minions (2015). Many other Minions are mentioned by name in the films and other media in the franchise. They were created by art director Eric Guillon, who worked on several Illumination films.
