Following their success, they returned in the 2013 sequel, Despicable Me 2, where their role was expanded, including a subplot where some Minions are transformed into purple mutants. Due to their popularity, they starred in several short films and even a simulator ride attraction named Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem opened at Universal Studios Florida in July 2012.
