DESPICABLE ME (2010)
DESPICABLE ME 2 (2013)
To all my readers: may all have a happy and prosperous 2016.
Let's kick-off this new year with yet another animated favorite...
Gru is a not so successful super villain that adopts three orphaned girls as part of his evil plan to steal the moon. But he does not take into account the effect the girls might have on his villainous disposition. In the sequel our scoundrel, who in the meantime has turned into a legitimate businessman and loving dad, is asked by a secret government organization to help with catching a mysterious new villain threatening world chaos. This time Gru is partnered with secret agent, Lucy, and it soon becomes clear that in the process the girls may get a new mom too.
Sure it has a sweet story with a "happily ever after" ending and it is not anything we haven't seen a million times before, but what makes these two movies so special is the voice-over artists. They, and especially Steve Carell (the voice of Gru) bring the characters alive in a totally unique way. And then, of cause, there are the adorable minions...
No wonder these movies were such blockbusters as it can be thoroughly enjoyed by young and old alike. Therefor I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
