While there were plenty of attempts to make the magic of the Minions strike twice, the success rate of such attempts was far more sporadic.
If you do something successfully in American animation, chances are it'll spawn imitators. Everyone wanted to do animated musicals after Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin took off, while Shrek was responsible for an avalanche of snarky animated fairy tale comedies. As for Despicable Me, its immediate ripple effect would end up being popularizing those Minions, stars of this week's Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Penguins of Madagascar: An Army of Octopi Penguins of Madagascar villain Dave is an especially scheming octopus, but he’s not the only member of his species to appear in the film. Dave is supported by an endless string of brightly colored octopi. The most distinguishable trait of these characters is that their names are used as the set-up to punny gags referencing the names of celebrities.
The enormously dismal box office of Norm of the North was enough to ensure that these lemmings would not spawn heaps of merchandise like the Minions. However, this trio was always destined to struggle to capture the success of these earlier characters simply because they’re only a trio. Much of the comedy of the Minions comes from how there’s an endless supply of these characters.

Part of its run-down nature can be attributed to a horde of Chimpanzombies, which used to be plush toys sold at this domicile but have come to life to cause chaos. These creatures do the bidding of a more nebulously defined force than the usual stand-ins for Gru in these knockoffs.
