5 obscure Minion facts to impress your kids with
As the Minions take over with their own movie, we’ve got a cheat sheet of yellow factoids to make your kids think you’re really cool (which of course you are…)
1 There are 5 different Minion hair styles: Bald, buzz cut, sprout, spiky and combed. There are 3 different shapes: small and plump, medium, tall and thin. There are two different eye types: one eye and two eyes. But did you know that tall minions only ever have sprout hair and one-eyed minions are normally small.
2 Minions speak Minionese, which is a mixture of gibberish and lots of real words from many different languages including French, English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Filipino. One of their favourite phrases is: “Bi-do” which means “I'm sorry”
3 Minions have been to the dentist. In the first Despicable Me movie they had wonky teeth. Their teeth in Despicable Me 2 were beautifully straight – they obviously got the Hollywood treatment.
