We had a little girl in the store who LOVED minky (Shannon Cuddle). She put a bolt of it on the floor and laid her head on it. Then she took off her shoes and ran her toes through the bolts on the low shelf. I wish I had got a picture.
This is my favorite minky. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/30680841191281142/ It is soooo incredibly soft!

They are both polyester fabrics. However, fleece is double sided with texture and print on both sides, while Minky/Cuddle fabric is single sided with a plusher, almost furlike feel. A lot of fleeces I have seen can just simply be cut to the size desired (i.e. lap size), bound and used as is, while Minky/Cuddle needs to be made into something with some kind of a lining and/or backing.
