Pierre Coffin, director and co-writer of Minions & Monsters, has addressed a fan theory about the characters' whereabouts during World War II. He stated that the Minions did not serve Adolf Hitler.
Coffin, who also voices the yellow creatures, responded to questions about the theory during an interview with Polygon. He said the Minions from the first film stayed in a cave from 1812 to 1968.
"I knew you were going to ask me that question. Shame on you," Coffin remarked. He added that the new film features different tribes of Minions who were "not part of the Big History."
Minions & Monsters is now in theaters and places the characters in 1920s Hollywood. There they team up with the green creature Goomi, voiced by Trey Parker, after unleashing monsters while trying to make a film.
