When the chattering, pill-shaped yellow creatures known as Minions first appeared in the animated supervillain comedy "Despicable Me," they were essentially a knockoff of the semi-verbal characters seen in classic Pixar movies. Think of the aliens in "Toy Story" or the pillbugs in "A Bug’s Life," cloned and tweaked by upstart cartoon studio Illumination.
In "Minions: The Rise of Gru," the confusion starts before the movie even begins: Where exactly does this story fall within the "Despicable" timeline? The first "Minions" was a spinoff set before the little guys crossed paths with supervillain Gru. "Rise of Gru" is a sequel to "Minions," but also a direct prequel to "Despicable Me.
