Sacre-banana-bleu, the Minions may be French! Whether you know the Minions from their roles in Im the bastard Whether you think of these little yellow creatures created by Illumination as some of the most iconic animated characters in recent history, whether they’re from Disney movies or Facebook memes posted by your older relative, the new Minions story has been abandoned due to a very unlikely source: the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
