14 | !!Trivia for the franchise as a whole: |
15 | * CashCowFranchise: The film series has become this for Creator/IlluminationEntertainment, becoming its most profitable work. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_franchises_and_film_series As of 2020]], it is the ''highest grossing animated film franchise of all time.'' [[note]]Technically, many of the other listed franchises had animated installments; notably, ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' both had animated movies made before their more well-known live action installments, while ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' had both a [[WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm theatrical entry in an animated series]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie a LEGO adaptation in 2018]], not to mention various direct-to-video animated films. At the same time, they usually only make up a very minor portion of the overall take, compared to ''Despicable Me'', which is entirely animation.[[/note]] On top of that, the Minions are pretty much everywhere in one way or another. Their faces are up there with [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob]] and WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons in terms of "cartoon characters we can slap onto a yellow product". |
