Your favorite weird, squishy, smiling monster sidekicks are colliding with those other weird squishy smiling monster sidekicks for a new collaboration. Joining forces are Despicable Me 3 and Dragon Quest XI -- specifically, Slimes and Minions.

Minna no Slime, Square Enix's tool allowing you to design your own custom slime, recently added a Minion variety to its front page. Close behind was the Japanese music video for "Yellow Light," Pharrell Williams's song for Despicable Me 3. While mostly similar to the US version, the Japanese version notably includes slimes where previously a pixelated Pharrell was jumping over Tetris blocks. (The scene is around 2:55).

Apparently there's more crossover to come in the near future, but what exactly that entails hasn't been hinted at yet.

Despicable Me 3 opened in Japan to great excitement, beating out both the live-action Gintama and the new Pirates of the Caribbean at the box office.
