543 million dollars is the box office of the cartoon Despicable Me, which was released on July 15, 2010. The second part of the project, which was released 3 years later, collected almost twice as much - 935 million dollars. "Minions" - a cartoon that was released in 2015 after the stunning success of the dilogy. Unlike films about the villain Grue, part 3 is completely devoted to the minions, their history and adventures. What is such a stunning success? Of course, the plot and effects play an important role, but the main culprits of popularity were the minions - small yellow creatures that helped the main character Grew to become the biggest villain in the world and spoke an incomprehensible and funny language. What language do cartoon minions speak?
Who are the minions
Minions - creatures of unknown origin - either robots, or aliens. Their creator is the artistic director of the cartoon - Eric Gillon. In the story, the minions are created from mutated DNA. Another version - they occurred as a result of the impact of weapons in the final series of the cartoon "Despicable Me: Pogrom of Minions". The director of the animation project, Pierre Soffin, claims that in total, according to the authors' plan, there are 899 minions. Outwardly, they look like a yolk from Kinder surprise with one or two eyes, wear glasses, are dressed in blue overalls with the Grew emblem and black gloves. Each of them has its own special hairstyle, and some do not have hair at all. They are impulsive, impatient and sincere, like children, which makes the viewer fall in love with them at first sight. And as babies, they can litter and cause a complete mess in a second, but, unlike children, they will come to the aid of the needy at any time.
What language do minions speak
Minions speak an incomprehensible language. It is this incomprehensibility that makes their speech funny and interesting. We can say that this is the main feature of the minions after their unusual appearance. So what language do minions speak? Their language is called the Banana Language, created by Pierre Soffin. He voiced the minions. According to the director, he wanted to create a language that would be understood by both adults and children, including the smallest. For the emotionality of words in the banana language, he used the menu of Indian and Chinese restaurants. But in the speech of the minions you can hear Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Indonesian and even Russian words. The director speaks some of these languages, and to create new words, he took words from these languages, which, although they did not fit in, they sounded melodic and corresponded to the situation. Soffin’s colleagues note that although the banana language is completely gibberish from the outside, it nevertheless has its own linguistic pattern and over time, viewers who watch all the films with minions can easily understand this language.
