In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with
flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst
to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout.
Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve
Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is
going to steal the moon. (Yes, the moon!) Gru delights in all things
wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and
battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in
his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little
orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has
ever seen: a potential Dad. The world's greatest villain has just met
his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and
Agnes.
