Gru's Minions in 'Despicable Me'

There's a lot of them, and they're all green. What makes them disgustingly cute is not only the wacky language that they use, but their undying devotion to their master, Gru.

Why Kids Love Them: They're funny, they're small, and they do ridiculous things. And they remind us all of the squeaky alien toys in 'Toy Story.'

Fun Fact: The Minions speak an actual made-up language in the film. The directors called it "minion-ese".
