4. The Inspiration For Mini-Mi Mini-Me may seem to many viewers to be a completely original creation. First appearing in the sequel Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me, Mini-Me is introduced as a failed experiment attempt to clone Dr. Evil that resulted in a perfect clone except for the one fact that he was 1/8th the size of his source. Mini-Me is said to be inspired by a character from the 1996 film The Island of Dr. Moreau. The film stars Marlon Brando as Dr Moreau and 2 foot 4 inch tall actor Nelson Aquino de la Rosa portrays a miniature version of Dr Moreau called Majai. Mini-Me is very similar to Majai as both are a short copy of another character and just like Majai, Mini-Me is also a mute and doesn't speak throughout the entire film.
Born in the forgettable year of 1993 in Manchester, England and haven't moved since. Culture lover, film buff, television fiend, sport freak, music mongol... I'm running out of silly ways to say this.
