In a funny act, a town in the UK has been converted into 'Binions', by a mystery prankster painting dustbins as yellow and blue so they look just like the ten Despicable Me characters.
The bins have been placed outside shops and bus stops in in Peacehaven, East Sussex, and people have been rushing around the town trying to spot them all.
Locals have got no idea who painted the bins to look like Minions - and even attached trademark goggle-eyes and arms.

The rubbish bins, dubbed 'Binions', have been spotted everywhere from outside shops to park benches and bus stops. The cheeky characters were painted the distinctive Minion yellow faces and blue dungarees, DailyExpress reported.
"We have no idea who is responsible or why they've done it, but it's quite amusing. People have been going around trying to find all ten," said a local resident.
"These bins have certainly drawn attention and brought comments and smiles from people passing by.
"Anything that encourages people to use the litter bins provided is a good thing as we want to keep the district clean and tidy for all to enjoy," said a spokesperson from Lewes District Council.
The council says it hopes the decorated bins will encourage people in the town to be tidy and throw their rubbish away.
The cartoon characters are famed for their cute-but-evil ways, and are currently starring in their own standalone film Minions.
Since they first appeared on screen in 2010, the Minions have become something of a phenomenon, with millions of Minion-themed toys on sale and their dungarees and goggles becoming the fancy dress costume of choice for many fans.
