Minions, the small, yellow, and lovable characters from the “Despicable Me” movie franchise, have an average height of approximately 3.5 feet. These creatures come in various sizes, but their height typically ranges between 3 and 4 feet.

Gru, the main character in the series, is not 14 feet tall as previously mentioned. His actual height is approximately 6 feet 5 inches. The information about Gru being 14 feet tall and Lucy being 15 feet tall is incorrect.

How Tall Is Gru From Minions?

As a huge fan of the Despicable Me movies and those cute, funny little Minions, I’ve always been curious just how tall they actually are. With their compact bodies and diminutive stature compared to humans, it can be hard to pin down an exact height. After some digging, I’ve gathered the key facts and evidence regarding Minion size to answer the question – how tall are Minions?

What is the average height of a standard Minion?

Based on official Despicable Me sketches and character profiles, the average Minion stands around 3.5 feet tall. This places them about waist height relative to a human adult. Some evidence pointing to this estimate:

• Concept art and models list them from 3-4 feet.
• They come up to about Gru’s waist, who is 6’5”.
• Kevin, the tallest Minion, is specifically described as 3.5 feet tall.

So while height varies, most Minions fall right around that 3.5 foot mark – not huge, but big enough to cause trouble!

How does Minion height compare to Gru’s?

One way to estimate Minion height is by looking in relation to their master Gru. Official sources place Gru at approximately 6 feet 5 inches tall.

That means Gru is almost exactly 4 times the height of an average 3.5 foot Minion. If you stacked 4 Minions on top of each other, they’d be around Gru’s height!

Some more Gru vs Minion size comparisons:

• Gru is over 3 feet taller than a standard Minion.
• Minions come up to about Gru’s waistline.
• Minions hugging Gru’s legs have their heads at his lower thigh level.

So using Gru as a reference, the typical 3.5 foot Minion size makes perfect sense!

Are there any size differences between Minion types?

While most Minions are around 3.5 feet, some exceptions exist:

• Kevin – The tall, lanky Minion leader is on the taller side at 3.5 feet.
• Stuart – Slightly below average at around 3 feet tall.
• Bob – One of the smallest Minions at only 2.5 feet tall.
• Minion Pups – Minion babies initially only 6 inches tall!
• Giant Minions – Some oversized overall-clad Minions appear up to 8 feet.

So while medium build is most common, heights fluctuate across individuals by a foot or more in some cases!

How does Minion size compare to adult humans?

Next to the average human adult, Minions look tiny! Some comparisons:

• Average man – About 5 feet 9 inches tall, over 2 feet taller than a Minion.
• Average woman – Around 5 feet 4 inches tall, about a foot taller.
• They only come up to between waist and hip level on most humans.
• Even Kevin would be considered a very short human adult.

Looking at it that way gives me a whole new appreciation for how petite those exuberant Minions really are!

Why are Minions the height that they are?

Minions seem designed to be short but sturdy, perfect for their duties as Gru’s loyal henchmen. Some key reasons for their approximate 3.5 foot stature:

• Small enough to sneak around unseen but big enough to handle gadgets and weapons.
• Perfect size to cause comic mischief and mayhem without being threatening.
• Allows them to swarm and overpower larger opponents through sheer numbers.
• Easy for kids and adults to relate to with their diminutive but hardy builds.

So their signature height really enables the Minions’ mix of chaos and cuteness that makes them so amusing!

What is your best guess for how tall an individual Minion is?

Based on all the official height clues, plus how they look next to humans and Gru, my best guess is:

• Most Minions – Around 3 to 3.5 feet tall.
• Kevin – A tall 3.5 feet.
• Stuart – On the short side around 2.5-3 feet.
• Bob – No more than 2 feet tall, one of the smallest.
• A Minion Pup – Just a few inches tall!

It’s fun to be able to estimate their heights! Gru’s roughly 6.5 foot frame makes him seem like a giant by comparison to the tiny little Minions.

Conclusion

After scouring all the Despicable Me facts and figures, the average Minion stands approximately 3.5 feet tall – just waist height to a human adult like you and me. Of course, some Minions are taller like Kevin and others shorter like Bob. But that 3.5 foot average seems right on based on their proportions relative to Gru and people. While puny in stature, there’s no limit to the huge fun and cuteness those tiny yellow henchmen can generate!
