They first appeared in 2010 as supporting characters in Despicable Me. Round or oval androgynous figures, with one or two eyes, goggles and overalls, the little creatures quickly turned heads and made a place for themselves in pop culture. From there they have appeared in the three sequels of the film, becoming after their own film, which narrates their origins, and now a sequel.<\/span><\/p>\n Their humor is simple, mischievous and they help as much as they get into trouble.
