Despicable Me
Directed by Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
Determined to prove he's the world's greatest supervillain, Gru hatches an audacious plan to steal the Moon. To pull it off, he adopts three orphaned girls—Margo, Edith, and Agnes—intending to use them as pawns in his scheme. But the unexpected bond they form forces him to question the criminal life he's always known. From TMDB

60 of 184 · most liked firstTIL that the Minions from "Despicable Me" are hard-wired to serve the most evil person on Earth, and also thousands of years old, so when the movie became a franchise, the writers had to strand them in an ice cave right after the Napoleonic Wars until 1968 so they wouldn't have to be literal Nazis.

neutral · AI labelView post →my fool of a son comes to me asking to watch a Despicable Me movie. he says they are on Paramount+. nonsense. everyone knows the Despicable Me IP is owned by Universal, and is thus on Peacock. except that Despicable Me 3 is exclusively on Netflix. this is a good entertainment landscape for consumers

So I had my kids review the new Despicable Me for me. The link has our full conversation but here is a sample... screencrush.com/despicable-m...

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s wild to me that because every Despicable Me movie after the first one (which did $544 million) was an easy $900 million+ for Universal, a new Minions movie (7th overall DM film) doing somewhere close to the original is being treated as a bomb, even though it’ll be profitable in the end.

positive · AI labelView post →Russell Brand as both Dr. Nefario from Despicable Me and E.B. from Hop. His casting as E.B. especially just weird me out. And I'm ultimately glad the former got replaced by Romesh Ranganathan in the fourth film, even if apparently without Romesh's knowledge.

positive · AI labelView post →I think it’s a real step in the right direction for Illumination to not only put out an original film, (their first since 2016 not counting Migration), but also experiment by making a more fully romantic film as well other than technically Despicable Me 2. Optimistic about this one.

negative · AI labelView post →Minions & Monsters was a fun movie. Second best movie of the Despicable Me / Minions franchise.
positive · AI labelView post →Minions was the first spin-off film of the Despicable Me franchise. The minions, led by Kevin, Stuart and Bob go through ages of masters, until they find a master that could serve them- Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), the world's most evil supervillain. Its a mediocre movie with messy pacing.

I guess they *were* the best studio to handle a Mario movie after all!
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m surprised no one has made a Scary Movie/Seltzerberg-like parody about animated films. If I were to make such a film, it would mainly poke fun at some common tropes in modern animation. A riff on Despicable Me would be the basis for the main story.

I haven't watched scripted TV/film in a long time as I've been more into video essays on YouTube recently, but I have been watching the Despicable Me/Minions films on iPlayer over Christmas - they're very silly, fluffy & fun www.imdb.com/title/tt1323...
