10 Remarkable Facts About 2015's Biggest Movies

4. Director Pierre Coffin Voiced All 899 Minions In The Movie - Minions

Ever thought, "Hey, who voices all the Minions in that Minions film?" You might be surprised at the answer. The guy who provides the voices for the iconic Despicable Me characters isn't some actor with a talent for making weird noises that the studio hired on a whim (though that would be fine), but one Pierre Coffin, the co-director of both Despicable Me movies and the co-director of the recent Minions movie, too. Pierre Coffin, who is a French animator, voiced all 899 individual Minions - Kevin, Stuart, Bob, you name 'em - in the 2015 blockbuster hit in addition to his duties as director. He must be pretty happy right now, too, given that Minions went on to be - brace yourselves, people - the 2nd highest-grossing animated film ever made (and the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film). It pulled in an absolutely gargantuan $1.1 billion, which is insane.
