Plot

Here is the plot summary of Despicable Me: In this hilarious animated film, supervillain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) has a reputation for being one of the most despicable, deplorable, and downright unlikable guys in the world. His latest plan to steal the moon from the sky is a classic example of his villainous nature. However, things take an unexpected turn when he meets three orphaned girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Elanor Heights), who are under the care of Vector (Will Arnett), another villain trying to steal the moon. Gru's plan is to kidnap the girls and use them as leverage to get Vector's attention, but things don't go exactly as planned. As he begins to take care of the girls, Gru finds himself growing attached to them, particularly Agnes, who sees him as a father figure. The girls, in turn, help Gru to see the world from a different perspective and teach him about the importance of family and love. Meanwhile, Vector, who has his own plans for the moon, tries to outdo Gru and steal it first. As the two villains engage in an escalating battle of wits, Gru finds himself torn between his desire to be a "cool" villain and his growing feelings for the girls. With its witty humor, lovable characters, and clever plot twists, Despicable Me is a delightful film that will appeal to both children and adults. The movie's themes of family, love, and redemption are skillfully woven throughout the story, making it a heartwarming and entertaining experience.

Absolutely one of the top 5 animated movies of all time! It's a crime this isn't rated above a 9 on Douban.

This animated film proves once again that you don't have to be afraid of telling old stories, as long as you have a heart that never ages. What's touching are the little quirks, the cuteness, the little loneliness, and the universal desire for a warm heart under a hard exterior. It really won my heart over more than Toy Story 3 did.
