Despicable Me
Yellow henchmen cartoon
Despicable Me is a 2010 animated film franchise from Illumination Entertainment featuring Gru, a supervillain who adopts three orphan girls.
The films spawned the Minions—yellow, gibberish-speaking creatures that became a cultural phenomenon and meme staple.
My kids have watched Despicable Me a hundred times.
