Who Are the Voices of the Minions

Who Are the Voices of the Minionsの主要なニュースを丁寧にまとめました。全体像を一目で把握できます。

The primary voice behind every single Minion is Pierre Coffin, the French co-director of the first two Despicable Me movies. Yes, a grown man in a director’s chair is the one gurgling, squeaking, and shouting "BANANA!" at the top of his lungs. It’s a job that sounds like pure, joyful madness.

Coffin didn’t just read a script; he improvised the entire language. He’d sit in a booth, watch the animation, and just… make sounds. Think about that for a second. Your entire paycheck depends on how funny you can make the word “potato” sound. That is a life goal if we’ve ever heard one.

But Wait—There’s More Than One Voice

While Pierre Coffin is the main man, he didn’t do it all alone. For the spin-off movie Minions, Coffin voiced Kevin, Stuart, and Bob. But here’s a fun fact: the young Minions you see in flashbacks were voiced by real children! The directors hired kids to babble naturally, then slowed the recordings down to create that baby-Minion vibe. Brilliant, right?

And you might be surprised to learn that actor Chris Renaud (co-director of the first film) voiced a few Minions early on, too. It’s a very small, very exclusive club of people who get to yell gibberish for a living. Honestly, it sounds like the best job in Hollywood.
