It's remarkable to consider that the original Despicable Me, a collaboration between Illumination Studios and Mac Guff, marked the beginning of such a wildly successful franchise. Minion Rush itself has mirrored that success, boasting over a billion downloads and maintaining its popularity for over a decade.

While some might find Gru and the Minions a bit much, their enduring appeal is undeniable, especially with a new movie on the horizon to reignite interest.
