These purple, furrier versions of minions make their debut in Despicable Me 2. Despite their creepy appearance, there’s something that’s very familiar about them.

BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett) is an anthropomorphic horse who starred in the ’90s sitcom Horsin’ Around. Since the show’s cancellation, he’s been bumming around with his freeloading roommate. He sees a tell-all memoir as his shot at recapturing his fame.

Horse Head Man is a true gentleman — he just so happens to have a horse head on his shoulders. He’s usually lounging in a smoking jacket with a cigar and martini in his hands, but can also be found on occasion traveling the world, cooking mushrooms on video, and making cameos on Google Street View.

Rainbow Dash is a pegasus pony who’s responsible for the weather in My Little Pony. She’s skilled at flying, which she demonstrates when she performs her sonic rainbooms.

Starlight Glimmer’s (Kelly Sheridan) first major appearance in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is as an antagonist, when she founds a village that bans individuality and strips ponies of their Cutie Marks using magic. After the Mane Six reveal that she’s a fraud, she takes revenge of them by traveling through time to wreak havoc on Equestria. She is defeated again, and Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong) takes her under her wing as a student, beginning to teach her about the magic of friendship.

Trixie (Kathleen Barr) is an illusionist pony who resides in Ponyville, and is close friends with the reformed Starlight Glimmer (Kelly Sheridan). She acts as both a villain and a hero throughout My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, often falling victim to her own pride and ambition. She often dramatically refers to herself as “The Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie!”
