Mini-me inspiration

I watched 1999's 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' the other day and noticed the striking resemblance between Dr. Moreau's little copycat and Mini-me from Austin Powers. Does anyone know if this is where Mike Meyers got the inspiration for Mini-me?

Possibly. Or cross between that and Fantasy Island.

Yes, it is.
