Minions are known to be very hardworking creatures which is an irony to this cross stitch pattern.In Despicable Me 2 he was famous for his quote "Bee-Do, Bee-Do Bee-Do".He appeared as the fire siren that says "Bee do bee do" with Josh and Jorge dressed as firemen extinguishing the fire when Gru's office catches on fire.
