Plot Summary: In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal's new 3-D CGI feature, "Despicable Me."
Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
You know DreamWorks and Pixar and the like, but now Universal and Illumination Entertainment are joining the animation fray with Despicable Me, their tale of a loveable supervillain (really) who's busy trying to steal the moon when three adorable little orphans decide to make him their dad. And here's a clip from the film to give you a taste of what's in store.
In this clip, our (anti-)hero Gru (Steve Carell) is attempting to steal back a shrink ray from his nemesis Vector (Jason Segel). Gru and his cute little yellow Minions are escaping through air ducts in Vector's near-impregnable mansion (which, in a masterpiece of interior design, has a shark tank under the living room floor) when, well, things go a little Pete Tong.
