Universal's "Despicable Me" has been the surprising hit movie in summer 2010. Screenwriter duo Paul & Daurio and the directors Coffin & Renaud do everything there powers to avoid dull moments in this animation picture. The design of the characters enjoys a kind of flamboyant nature, which makes "Despicable Me" standing out in the animation crowd. The villain Gru, verbally covered by Steve Carrell, strives through existence by doing minor vantage point crimes in nowadays society before coming out of retirement to steal the moon.The stars of the movie have become characters, called the Minions. They are yellow, do not talk much, come in a crowd and stand faithfully at Gru side, when he plans a new venture. The character Gru has the usual problems in a single existence. He needs to keep a household, feet the dog and running for the so called "Bank of Evil" with a business plan to get a loan. Those in reality grounded themes make "Despicable Me" compelling for a wide audience. Rated PG it has become family summer movie, which the minors as well as the adults can enjoy.The major theme for the character of Gru to find human contact in life beside his busy and well-organized mother and close-to-blind assistant professor leads him to three orphan girls, who wish nothing more then to dance Swan Lake at a school presentation. In the show-down of "Despicable Me" Gru needs to beat the clock in order to steal the moon with matter-shrinking laser gun and watch his girls perform. A balancing act, he can not realize even though Gru does his best.The main character crashes with his crowd-funded space rocket to the ground in front of the school. A shallow villain called Vector abducts the girls to treasure the miniaturized moon from Gru, when the finest scene of the movie comes up, where Gru needs to storm the Vector's fortress by redirecting approaching missiles by jumping literally through the missile front in slow-motion before coming out clean from the setting dust to confront Vector.Of course, Gru saves the day, defeating Vector by sending him with the back to normal size moon into space. The sequence has been well-organized by the directors. The timing of action and humor works thanks to a precisely written screenplay, which even respects the laws of physics in showdown's two jet airstrike combat.For Universal Pictures it has been the jackpot movie for seven years in a row. The sequel from 2013 and the spin-off "Minions" have exponentially risen their production budget to box office margin with up to 2,18 billions U.S. Dollars for three movies in 5 years, which just cost a combined 219 millions U.S. Dollars to produce. The upcoming 4 weeks will show, if "Despicable Me 3" can raise to the expectations for the Hollywood studio. Close to watch is going to be again the international market, which grew with the franchise from a 53.7 % share for "Despicable Me" in 2010 to a 71 % share for "Minions" in 2015. Unfortunately, the U.S. domestic market seems to be fed up with the content with a box office revenue of lower than expected 75.4 Millions U.S. Dollars opening weekend by a plus-screen-count of 20.47 % since 2010 to this year's high of 4,529 auditoriums for one movie on the first weekend.© Felix Alexander Dausend(Data provided by An Amazon.com Company Affiliate)

This is one of the most interesting animated films I have seen in recent years. Its not the first time we see a villain portrayed in a comic way on animated movies, but its rare to see one become a real hero (well, in fact, "Megamind", from the same year, tackles the same theme in a different way).The film revolves around the figure of a failed villain who tries to steal the Moon, despite the constant interference of three girls he adopts and the competition with a new rival. The film also has the Minions, the villain's helpers. These adorable creatures speak an incomprehensible language and look curiously like cheese snacks in jeans, but they star in some of the film's most hilarious and absurd moments. The humor is intelligent, not forced or stupid and knows when to give way to the story in order to keep the film coherent and with a good rhythm. All the characters were very well thought out. Computer animation, the basis of animations, has been carefully done, is very pleasing to eye of the public and inspires a pleasant sense of realism.

I rarely get around to catching a film upon it's initial release, so imagine my surprise when I watch this one the other day and contrary to my expectations, it's not a Minions movie. OK, it's got Minions in it, but I thought it would be all about those yellow butterballs running around and uttering their non-sensical gibberish. Once over the initial surprise however, it settled into a nice little story with an unusual twist - a criminal mastermind named Gru uses three orphans from Miss Hattie's School for Girls in his scheme to steal the Moon, and then returns them when his evil ruse is complete. Ah, but Margo, Edith and Agnes have other plans, and things fall into place to reunite the characters in a heartwarming finale that makes one rethink the definition of family. Still, I wanted to see more of the Minions.
