Are Minions 60 million years old?

The age of the Minions from the Despicable Mefilms is somewhat of a mystery throughout the franchise– so how old exactly are the Minions? Set in 1975 and focusing on an 11-year-old Gru (Steve Carell), Minions: The Rise of Gru, the latest film in the franchise, has raised this issue again as the Minions appear no younger than they did in the main series. However, it is in the first film of the spinoff series dedicated to the Minions themselves, Minions, that an answer to the question of the age of the Minions can be found.

After the first film of the franchise, Despicable Me, in 2010, the Minions’ popularity has been on the rise. Subsequently, the Minions became one of the most recognizable and well-liked products of the Despicable Me franchise and, more broadly, of its production company, Universal Pictures. Many different Minions are mentioned by name in the Despicable Me movies and media, but the three Minions that audiences are most familiar with are Kevin, Stuart, and Bob. They make up the lead trio of Minions who feature in all the films in the Despicable Me franchise and who star in the Despicable Me prequel series.

With the childlike behavior that characterizes them, it would be easy to assume that the Minions, all voiced by the same actors, are nothing but children. Minions, the first film of the spinoff series dedicated to them, provides an insight into who the Minions are and how old they are. The film shows that the Minions existed in the Cretaceous Period since they interact with a Tyrannosaurus rex in the film. Therefore, the Minions have been around for at least 60 million years. In fact, the Minions came into existence 3.8 billion years ago: they have been alive for approximately as long as life on planet Earth has been around.

Here's one for you. I watched a documentary on National Geographic Channel about the Nazca and Palpa Lines in Southern Peru last night. As they passed over a section of hillside. I had to do a double take on this one and pause my DVR to see if this was real. Two of the figures looked just like the Minions!

Hmm, our boys really got around. It was alongside other figures the ancient people of Peru made centuries ago.

Here's the Minions! Especially the one on the far right.
