Jennifer Saunders in "Minions" (2015)

Another animation to feature the Queen was 2015's "Despicable Me" spin-off, "Minions." The now iconic yellow creatures are roped into a plot to steal Queen Elizabeth II's crown, and this plot becomes the central narrative of the film.

While a light-hearted storyline to feature the Queen, it meant that another British comedy legend was able to step into the role and voice Her Majesty. In this instance, it was Jennifer Saunders of "French and Saunders" and "Absolutely Fabulous."

Ironically, of all the films to feature the Queen as a character, this was the highest-grossing!
