Question

9．The Minions

These yellow creatures become a big hit for their cuteness of loving bananas，nonsense words and silly movements．When you watched Despicable Me （2010），did you predict the Minions would later become the main attraction？From background characters and then main characters，their success proves good animated creations can take on a life of their own spin-offs（續(xù)集）
The penguins

    The penguins were originally just sidekicks in Madagascar（2005）．But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series，and in 2014 starred in the film Penguins of Madagascar．The penguins'wit，sarcasm and crafty composure not only adds attraction to the kid-friendly franchise，but also serves adult audiences well．So it's not surprising that they got their own movie．
