Despicable Me

The world's second greatest super-villain, Gru is hatching a plot to steal the moon! As his plan is about to be realized, his life is infiltrated by 3 young orphan girls that not only derail his plans but soften his villainous heart.

This was a fun story that's pulled off nicely. There's a fun mix of heart (nothing quite Pixar-level) and lots of fun action/comedy that's very reminiscent of the old Warner Bros. cartoons. Again, the story is fun and light and the characters are for the most part likable, especially the smallest orphan girl, she has some scene stealing moments. It's not the greatest animated movie, so it's probably kind of forgettable like Mandy says, but it's fun and entertaining.

*** out of 4 - See it
