Minions & Monsters director Pierre Coffin answers how Minions reproduce, if they can die, and their WWII activities
By
Brian VanHooker
Summary
In this interview, Minions & Monsters director Pierre Coffin answers three extremely specific and humorous questions about Minion lore: how Minions reproduce (they are essentially born from a cellular division process involving a "Minion-making machine" or spontaneously generate), whether they can die (yes, but they are resilient and often return in comedic fashion), and what they did during World War II (they were hiding, as they avoid conflict and are generally useless in serious situations). Coffin, who also voices the Minions, provides playful, in-character answers that blend absurdity with the franchise's established comedic tone.

· 3 pulledMinions reproduce through a process of cellular division, or sometimes they just appear out of nowhere. It's a very mysterious thing.
Can they die? Well, they are very resilient. They've survived a lot of things that would kill a normal creature.
During World War II, they were mostly hiding. They're not very good at conflict. They're more about making people laugh.
