Synopsis

Steve Carrell's Gru is the unlikely "hero" of this eye-popping animation that has great fun mocking super-villain conventions. Continually outdone by other evil-doers, Gru hatches a scheme to snatch both the moon and the title of World's Greatest Villain. But when he involves three cute-as-a-button orphans, Gru finds himself becoming a little less despicable: a disaster for any aspiring criminal mastermind. This hilarious spoof has a great voice cast and will delight fans of The Incredibles.
