#7: Pierre Coffin – The Minions
Pierre Coffin is the co-director of Despicable Me (2010), but he also gave voices to the Minions, the pill-shaped little yellow creatures that chatter gibberish and pretty much took the world by storm in the early 2010s. Coffin combined sounds from various human languages with comic sound effects and vocal tones on top to provide the Minions with wildly different voices.
With their wacky humor and exuberant energy, the Minions have become one of the most recognizable animated characters of the past two decades, and it’s largely thanks to Pierre Coffins – the man behind the Minions.
