He wanted to steal the moon. He ended up with three daughters and a heart he had no idea what to do with. The moon, it turned out, was considerably less important.
Despicable Me arrived in 2010 and pulled off something genuinely tricky: a film about a supervillain that made you root for his reformation without ever making the villainy feel dishonest. Gru — imperious, eccentric, surrounded by gadgets and henchmen and an underground lair of truly impressive scale — met Margo, Edith and Agnes, and the rest is animated history. The girls didn't fix him. They just gave him something worth being better for.
And then there are the Minions. Small, yellow, incomprehensible, and possessed of a loyalty so absolute and a competence so unreliable that they have somehow become one of the most recognisable characters in the history of animation. They have their own films now. They have their own language. They have infiltrated the internet in ways that defy easy explanation. Bello.
Our Despicable Me collection brings together officially licensed figures, apparel, accessories and gifts for fans of Gru, the girls, the Minions, and the ongoing, magnificently chaotic extended universe they inhabit.
It's so fluffy!
