Coluche - father of the minions?
Given that Mac Guff, who were heavily involved in this production, are a French operation and the yellow top/blue dungarees look of the minions is an exact copy of 1980s French comedian Coluche's outfit I kind of get the impression the minions are something of a homage to Coluche. I'm not all that familiar with his work but from the clips on YouTube he seems to have a goofy persona that would match with the minions behaviour. Anyone able to confirm if this was intentional or just happenstance.
