In Minions, which thief family gives Kevin, Stuart, and Bob a ride?

In Minions, which thief family gives Kevin, Stuart, and Bob a ride? The Nelsons give them a ride. After leaving their cave to find a new evil leader, the trio travels to New York City in 1968 and spends the night in a department store.

The next day, Kevin, Stuart, and Bob hitchhike with the Nelson family, who are traveling criminals. The family includes Walter and Madge Nelson, their children Tina and Walter Jr., and baby Binky. Their car takes the Minions toward Villain-Con, the Orlando convention where villains gather.

The Nelsons are sometimes confused with the Overkills because Scarlet Overkill becomes the Minions’ next employer soon afterward. The Overkills are not the family who transports them; Scarlet and her husband Herb meet the trio at Villain-Con. The Nelson sequence is an important bridge between the Minions’ isolated cave life and their recruitment into Scarlet’s London-based criminal scheme.
