Dave is a major protagonist of Illumination's Despicable Me franchise, and serves as the deuteragonist of the prequel of the Despicable Me franchise, Minions.
Dave serves as one of the more mature and intelligent of the Minions, and serves as the leader of such species (like Kevin and Mel). Being on the search for a master to serve/assist and support in the earliest timeline, Dave and the Minions were forced to evacuate their cave after accidentally knocking out a leader of Yetis, and Dave navigated Kevin, Stuart and Bob's current location in England and joined forces with Felonious Gru after Scarlet Overkill and Herb Overkill's deserved defeat.
Dave was formally voiced by Chris Renaud in the first Despicable Me film, but Dave is now voiced by the same voice actor and director, Pierre Coffin, alongside the rest of the other Minions from Despicable Me 2 onward.
Appearance[]
Dave is a two-eyed yellow humanoid creature with an average size, and smooth and combed hair. In his Mega incarnation, his limbs and overall body shape has been drastically amplified in size.
Personality[]
Similar to Kevin, Dave is an intelligent, selfless and kind minion, but also shows a pure sense of humor. However, Dave is also heavily prone to committing mistakes and accidents, demonstrated when Dave launched a rocket launcher towards a group of Minions out of excitement when Gru announced his plans to steal the moon, although he eventually becomes remorseful of it. Another prime example is Dave accidentally exposing himself to the Purple Minions after he blew raspberry at them to flow with the personality of a Purple Minion, leading into a chase that almost cost his life, along with Gru and Stuart's lives too.
Dave is skillful at video gaming, like his best friend, Stuart, shown when the duo are playing on a gaming console. Dave likes ice cream, as shown when Gru calls him and Stuart while having an Ice Cream Party, he still has Ice Cream in is mouth before he heads to Gru. He is typically overexcited as shown when he fired his Rocket Launcher, his signature weapon, but as mentioned before, this makes him accident-prone. He also has professionalism in the usage of weapons and baking cupcakes, among other food. Dave is also a surprisingly talented fighter, demonstrated in Despicable Me 2, when he swung around the pole to kick a Purple Minion and launched it towards a series of other Purple Minions, knocking them all off.
Additionally, Dave is so honorable that while Mel the other Minions quit serving Gru after no longer returning to villainy, Dave and Jerry choose to remain with Gru and continue assisting him, and also gone as far as creating a wonderful cupcake for Lucy Wilde in Despicable Me 2, and despite Lucy Wilde attempting to attack him out of misunderstanding as she thought Dave was something dangerous, the latter did not show grudge against her at all.
Trivia[]
- Dave is one of the two minions who were not kidnapped and transformed into a Purple Minion in Despicable Me 2, the other being Stuart.
- Dave is currently one of the only minions (along with Stuart and Mark) that makes his appearance in all films of the entire Despicable Me franchise. Dave is also the only Mega Minion with this distinction. However, Despicable Me 4 is the first film where Dave is not involved with Gru.
- Dave is one of the only two minions that never went to State Prison, the other being Jerry.
