Minions: The Rise of Gru (also known as Minions 2: The Rise of Gru, or just Minions 2) is a sequel to the 2015 film Minions. The film was released on July 1, 2022.\n
During the Chinese New Year of 1976, eight years after the events of the first film, 11-year-old Gru has allowed the Minions to work for him as their new leader.\n
One day, Gru receives an audition invitation from the Vicious 6, a criminal organization founded by the supervillain Wild Knuckles; now led by newly-appointed leader Belle Bottom following Knuckles' death, who hopes to find a new member. Gru's interview goes poorly but, much to the outrage of the Vicious 6, he manages to steal a stone capable of turning anyone into one of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac by Chinese New Year. \n
After an escape with Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, Gru finds out that Otto, a large, blabbering Minion, has traded the stone for a pet rock, causing him to fire the Minions before going alone to find the stone. However, Wild Knuckles, who is soon revealed to be alive, kidnaps Gru before taking him to San Francisco.\n
Without the stone and they only got 2 days to save Gru, the Minions implores Otto where the stone is and tells them the owner who has it. As Kevin, Stuart and Bob head into the house where the stone was, Otto see\u2019s the stone on a biker used as a necklace and chases him. Soon enough Kevin, Stuart and Bob have to go to to San Francisco to save Gru and they end up piloting a plane to get to San Francisco. When they reach Wild Knuckles' house, they are chased by his goons they find Master Chow, a former Kung Fu teacher, who agrees to teach them after they beg for her to do so. When their teaching is complete, the trio head back to Wild Knuckles' home to try and get Gru back. Meanwhile, Otto tries to chase the biker who still, has the stone as a necklace. When he manages to catch up to him at Death Valley, the biker gives the stone back to Otto and takes him to San Francisco.\n
Gru starts to bond with Wild Knuckles after the latter's goons quit on him. After saving Knuckles from a crocodile attempting to eat him alive, they decide to rob the Bank of Evil, managing to steal the Mona Lisa painting. After they get home, they see that Wild Knuckles' home has been destroyed by the Vicious 6, Knuckles decides to give up, leaving Gru to take it upon himself to stop them. \n
At a Chinese New Year parade in Chinatown, Otto and Gru find each other with the stone but are cornered by the Vicious 6, who in turn are confronted by the Anti-Villain League. However, after the clock strikes midnight, the Vicious 6 use the stone to turn themselves into animals (Bottom as a dragon, Jean Clawed as a baboon, Nunchuck as a cobra, Svengeance as a tiger, and Stronghold as a bull) from the Zodiac, and kidnap Gru, planning to kill him as revenge. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob manage to find Gru, but are turned into weak animals (Kevin as a rabbit, Bob as a goat, and Stuart as a rooster). \n
Wild Knuckles returns and fights the dragon Bottom. While the Minions manage to defeat most of the Vicious 6, Knuckles is badly burnt by Belle when trying to take the stone back but Otto manages to save Gru, who uses the stone to turn the Vicious 6 into rats. The Vicious 6 are arrested, including Wild Knuckles, who is taken to a hospital where he succumbs to his injuries off screen. At Knuckles' funeral, Gru gives a heartfelt eulogy, but it is later revealed that Knuckles faked his death. Later, he and Gru drive off vicariously into the sunset.\n
In a mid-credits scene, Gru hires Dr. Nefario in gratitude for an invention of his that helped him steal the stone. Nefario originally declines but decides to join him after he and the Minions beg, thus creating a bridge to Despicable Me.\n

Nothing defines modern children's animation like tiny, yellow, pill-shaped bodies with varying eye numbers and cute blue overalls. Despicable Me is a children's animated movie franchise that came out with its first film in 2010. Since then, people of all ages have become fans of characters like Gru and all the Minions. In fact, the Minions are an entire entity in themselves (via New York Times). The little creatures speak complete gibberish, sometimes Spanish, and other languages jumbled up, but children, and even adults, eat it up.
\n
The Minions are a loyal bunch to Gru, and with an army like that, what’s not to love? Despicable Me’s story was warm, heartfelt, and packed full of action. The movies had their bright spots, but none shined quite like the Minions. They were responsible for so much innocent comedy, character, and nonsense. Even though there are many of the little guys running around, some have a special place in our hearts. If you are a fan of the Despicable Me franchise, make sure you check out our ranking of the best Minions from the movies.
Carl is a charming little Minion. Many of the little guys have singular moments that stick in our minds when we think about the Minions. Carl, in fact, has one very memorable line in the Despicable Me movies. He comes into the room wearing a siren, saying "bee-do" through a megaphone. Well, at the moment, it was just as annoying as it was cute, and he was instantly shut down by being sprayed with a fire extinguisher.
The Minion named Jorge happens to be the main subject of one of the most iconic Minion moments ever. Jorge is a wider-set Minion, with hair that sticks straight up and two very lovely eyes. The Minions with Gru are hilarious. However, the Minions alone? Unmatched. Jorge's defining moment in the entire Despicable Me franchise was when he sat down, bare-butt, on a scanner in order to photocopy his own bottom. The moment was charming, funny, and fit perfectly into what we would categorize as peak Minion nonsense.
The names of all of these Minions are so ordinary in comparison to their out-of-this-world personalities. Along with being uncontrollably erratic and childish, the Minions are completely loyal to Gru. For example, we have Dave. Dave has two striking eyes and the most stunning middle part we've ever seen. He is best known in the Despicable Me franchise for his role in disguising himself as an evil Minion. You know, the purple deranged-looking ones with wild hair? Per Gru's request, Dave was one of the sacrificial lambs in this scenario, and the entire scene was just as chaotic as you can imagine.
We cannot rank the best Minions without mentioning Phil. Phil and his spiky hair do not get an incredible amount of screen time throughout the Despicable Me movies. However, his presence is definitely felt. Phil is best known for his iconic maid outfit. There are few moments in minion history that burn pictures into our minds as this one did — looking this fabulous deserves an award in itself.
Drum roll please for the main trio! Stuart, alongside both Kevin and Bob, these guys are the main squad of minions in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. Stuart has his iconic single eye on everything. He is involved in most of what the minions are up to and how they contribute to the main plot of the movies. To name of few of his on-screen contributions, Stuart is the one to sprayed Carl with the fire extinguisher, he flirted with a fire hydrant, and he was used as a minion glow stick.
We all know and love Kevin. Kevin, among the sea of yellow, is an eye-catcher because of his height. Kevin is a taller two-eyed Minion, with a little sprout of hair right in the middle of his head. Kevin is part of the main trio and an easy fan favorite of the Despicable Me franchise. As much as Kevin is an integral part of the Minion army and a great leader, he does get kidnapped by Dr. Nefario at one point and becomes an evil purple minion himself.
When audiences think about the Minions, the cuter they are, the more memorable. Well, in the main trio of Minions, no one is cuter than Bob. Bob is the shorter two-eyed stubby little minion with no hair whatsoever next to Kevin and Stuart. He is involved in many of the main shenanigans in the Despicable Me movies and with a simple name like Bob, he is easily recognizable by fans. Also, his differently-colored eyes (green and brown) are a staple, and paired with his childish demeanor and humor, Bob is easily one of the top minions in this franchise.

Felonius Gru, Sr. (or simply Gru) (born May 25, 1965), is the main protagonist of Despicable Me Franchise, and is the son of Marlena Gru and the late Robert Gru, grandson of the late Madeleine Gru and the late Henry Gru, also the late John Gru, and is the main protagonist of the Despicable Me franchise. He is a former supervillain and is the husband of AVL agent Lucy Wilde. He has three adopted daughters Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Gru is also the leader of the Minions, is friends with Dr. Nefario and is also the twin brother of Dru Gru. \n
Gru was born on May 25, 1965 Alongside with Dru to Marlena and Robert Gru (The Bald Terror). He comes from a long lineage of villains as shown with dozen of statues of his ancestors in Dru's hideout. Although his hometown is unknown, in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on her TV show, he claimed he was from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although born with his twin brother, Dru Gru, he was separated from his brother since birth and stayed with his mother Marlena Gru.\n
As a 4-Year-Old Child in 1969 he had always dreamed of going to the moon after seeing Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong\u2019s 1969 Apollo 11 Moonlanding. He once made a \"prototype\" rocket out of macaroni and an actual working prototype rocket. For most of his childhood he was neglected by his mother. Robert Gru, Gru's father, although never in contact with his son prior to the former's death, was quite proud of his son's achievements.\n
Gru was also constantly bullied by other students and one of these events made him afraid of ever asking a girl for a date, leaving him traumatized. This trauma is probably the reason that made him become evil eventually. \n
\n \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Baby Gru watching his brother leaving him.
\t\t \t
At some point in 1968, 3 year old Gru and his mother visited Villain-Con and met Dr. Joseph Albert Nefario. Attracted to the scientist's contraptions, he would later employ Nefario in 1976, as well as a group of yellow pillow-shaped creatures called the Minions, whom he met shortly afterwards. The Minions and Nefario would eventually become his only friends and, differently than the usual villain, he treated them like friends and appreciated every effort they made instead of treating them like slaves. \n
Appearance and Abilities
\n
Gru is a tall, bald man with blue eyes, long nose and broad, powerful physique; and dresses in a dark stone-grey sweater with a zipper, underneath a black collared coat along with striped grey and space blue scarf, black trousers, and shoes. He has a thick accent, and his arms and legs are notably disproportionate in size to his body.\n
He is very strong and athletic, being capable of dodging and leaping off several heat-seeking missiles (all going at the speed of sound), backhanding Vector's shark with a single punch (with the apparent force of a truck), and smashing his fist into Vector's monitor, easily cracking the screen without damaging his hand.\n
Apart from his remarkable agility and strength, Gru is also considerably intelligent. For example, as a child he built a real rocket, although later on his minions and Nefario did most of his work instead. Gru is also capable of forming smart plans, such as his plan to steal the shrink ray from Vector.\n
\nAt first, Gru was a cunning and somewhat cold-hearted man, who was determined to become the greatest villain in the world. At first he showed a dislike of children being easily irritated by Agnes, Edith and Margo. He was self-centered in the beginning, as he only adopted the girls so that he could get the shrink ray, which he intended to use to shrink the moon so that he could steal it.
\t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t

\t\t \t
Gru was also rather cruel and even sadistic at first. He enjoyed using his Freeze Ray, his signature weapon, often freezing people just for the sake of it. He is rather warm with his allies, such as Dr. Nefario and also treated his Minions quite well interacting with them and calling each one of them by name (he can also understand their language) instead of just treating them like slaves. However, he also said that he had no intention of giving his minions a raise, though this never caused any protest in them.\n
As time went on, Gru started to enjoy spending time with his three adopted daughters and in the end he grew to genuinely love them, putting aside his dream of stealing the moon and risking his life to rescue them from Vector. \n
\nDr. Nefario disapproved of the fact that Gru's warmer side was starting to reveal itself and sent the girls back to the orphanage. Though Gru didn't attempt to stop Miss Hattie from taking them, he was clearly upset about them leaving and later said that giving them up is the worst mistake he'd ever made. He also did his best to get to their dance performance after stealing the moon and was upset when he discovered he is too late.
\t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Gru with Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
\t\t \t
Gru also has a tendency to say \"lightbulb\" whenever he has an idea. He speaks in an unusual accent (probably east European) which, according to Steve Carell, was described as \"a mix of Ricardo Montalban and Bela Lugosi\". When asked about his accent by Ellen DeGeneres he said he was from Albuquerque, New Mexico and asked Ellen not to push this topic any further.\n
At the end of the first movie, and throughout the rest of the series, Gru has turned into a softie and became a lot more sweeter, gentler, and friendlier person after adopting Margo, Edith, and Agnes as his own daughters.\n

Plot
\n
Despicable Me
\n \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Gru declaring his plot to steal the moon.
\t\t \t\n
Gru returns home only to learn of the theft of the Great Pyramid of Giza from Dr. Nefario. With his pride badly wounded, Gru assembles his Minions in his underground lair. He recalls the successful thefts of the Times Square jumbo-tron, and the miniature Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower from Las Vegas. He then reveals his long-time planned, most epic heist; the theft of the Moon.\n
Gru heads to the Bank of Evil to obtain a loan from Mr. Perkins, the bank's owner. While Gru waits for his audience with Mr. Perkins, Vector, another villain, annoys the former by showboating and displaying his Piranha Gun. When Gru finally gets to face Mr. Perkins, he asks for funding to build the rocket which is necessary for his plan to steal the moon. Mr. Perkins refuses to give him a loan unless Gru presents the SR-6. Additionally, during the meeting, Gru finds out from Mr. Perkins that it was Vector who stole the Pyramid of Giza. As a furious Gru leaves the bank, he freezes Vector's head with his freeze ray.\n
During a testing of the shrink ray in a Facility in East Asia, Gru steals it and flies off on his ship. However Vector steals the shrink ray from Gru mid-flight. Gru tries to shoot Vector down with guns and then with missiles, but fails. Vector then blasts Gru's ship with the shrink ray as payback for the latter freezing his head. This causes the ship to shrink, forcing Gru and the Minions to ride the miniaturized ship home.\n
Gru attempts to retake the shrink ray from Vector's lair only to be thwarted by its defensive systems, and Vector's pet shark. Gru sees three girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, trying to sell Vector cookies, and Vector lets them in. Gru plans on using the girls to steal the shrink ray back and contacts Dr. Nefario and tells him to build a bunch of Cookie Robots for the theft. Gru goes to Miss Hattie's Home for Girls, the orphanage Margo, Edith and Agnes are from, disguising as a dentist and adopts them. \n
The following day, the girls convince Gru to drive them to dance class before going to Vector's lair to deliver the large quantity of cookies that Vector ordered. After the class, the Cookie Robots are delivered by the girls and activated. The robots break into Vector's vault by hacking open the vault's door, and weld a hole in the wall from the inside. Gru and two Minions enter through the opening and grab the shrink ray, but as they are leaving they are sealed in by the cookie robots. They escape through some air vents and out to the main entrance (without Vector noticing) and return to the car.\n
On the way home, Gru and the girls stop by an amusement park called Super Silly Fun Land, which Gru sees as a chance to abandon the girls. After being forced to ride the roller coaster with them and helping Agnes win a unicorn stuffed toy, he ends up having fun with Margo, Edith and Agnes.\n
\n \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Gru presenting the Shrink Ray to Mr. Perkins.
\t\t \t\n
At his home, he fine-tunes his plan to Mr. Perkins via a teleconference, but he is interrupted by the girls during his presentation. Perkins surprises Gru by again refusing him the loan\u2014claiming that while he doesn't have a problem with the plan, he doesn't want Gru to do it and he still wants a younger villain to do it. Though Gru is ready to abandon his plan due to lack of funds, the girls and the Minions donate money, sell Gru's furniture, and salvage scrap metal from junkyards to keep the plan going.\n
While the rocket is being built, Gru has fun with the girls, having tea parties with them, allowing them to have a slumber party, telling them bedtime stories and cooking them various shaped pancakes. Dr. Nefario soon begins to see the girls as a distraction to Gru. Since the moon heist and an important ballet recital the girls fall on the same day, Gru wants to move the day of the heist. Dr. Nefario confronts Gru and tells him how he feels the girls are becoming \"a major distraction\" and tells him \"they need to go, if you don't do something about it, then I will.\" He remains true to his word and contacts Miss Hattie and requests she take the girls back to the orphanage. Both Gru and the girls are heartbroken.\n
The following day, on May 26,[1][2] Gru boards the rocket and flies off to the moon, but not before one of the minions puts the ticket Agnes gave him into his space suit's pocket, despite Gru giving it back to that minion and telling him he doesn't have time for the girls dance recital. Gru shrinks the moon and pockets it. When he sees the ticket Agnes gave him, he realizes he has time to catch the recital. However, it has ended by the time he arrives. On the seat that the girls reserved for him, Gru finds a note from Vector, who has kidnapped the girls, telling him to bring the moon.\n
After forcing Gru to hand over the moon, Vector goes back on the deal and keeps the girls as his captives. This enrages Gru, who storms Vector's lair, the latter's defenses proving useless as Gru bypassed them causing the rockets to blow the gates open instead. Vector flees in an escape pod with the girls inside. Gru chases after them, climbing the disguised Pyramid and hanging onto the exterior of the ship. He nearly falls to his death, but is quickly rescued by Dr. Nefario in the ship that Vector shrank previously. Nefario reveals that the effects of the shrink ray are not permanent and the effect wears off at a rate proportional to its original mass (which he calls the \"Nefario Principle\"), to put it simply, the bigger the object, the faster it returns to normal after being shrunk by the Shrink Ray.\n
As Gru chases Vector, the effects of the shrink ray on the Moon inside the pod begin to wear off, causing the Moon to grow and smash open the glass bubble holding the girls. Gru rescues them by securing Vector's ship using a rope with a grappling hook and tells them to jump and that he will catch them. Edith and Agnes jump, and while Margo is about to jump, Vector catches her, but the (rapidly-expanding) Moon wrecks Vector's controls, causing his ship to accelerate into space and carry the moon back into orbit. Margo falls off the ship so Gru jumps off to catch her. The Minions join hands to form a lifeline, saving Gru and Margo.\n
Gru re-adopts the girls and they settle down to live a happy life as a family. He tells them a bedtime story about a unicorn whose life was changed when he met three little kittens (his own life story). He has then changed from a once despicable outcast into a cultured, sophisticated man. The girls give a special recital for the minions, His mother, who after years of neglecting her son, finally tells him she is proud of him. A Minion changes the music from Swan Lake to disco, and everyone present rushes on stage to dance. As everyone else continues to dance, Gru raises himself and the girls up on a platform onto the roof of his house, and they watch the moon fill the sky, now in its rightful place.\n

During Agnes's birthday party, Gru finds out the fairy princess he hired can not make it to the party, forcing him to quickly dress as one himself (Gruzinkerbell). While his daughter sees right through the ruse, Agnes says that she didn't tell the truth for the sake of the other kids..\n
After the birthday party, Gru is approached by Lucy Wilde, an Anti-Villain League agent who requests that he come with her. When Gru resists, she stuns him with her lipstick taser and forcibly abducts Gru. Two of the Minions who try to thwart her plans are captured also. They travel to AVL's underwater headquarters where Gru meets the league's director, Silas Ramsbottom. He asks Gru to assist its agents in their efforts to track down the perpetrator who stole a secret laboratory in the Arctic Circle. The lab's scientists are experimenting with the mutagen PX-41, which is capable of transforming living things into indestructible killing machines.\n
Gru refuses the offer, citing his need to get back to his jelly production and daughters. Before he leaves, Lucy admits she is impressed by his work as a villain and gives her business card to Gru, urging him to contact her if he changes his mind. Upon return to his lab, Gru realizes that his Minion-run production line had churned out bottles of awful-tasting jellies. In addition, his research scientist, Dr. Nefario confesses to Gru that he misses being \"evil\" and has been offered employment elsewhere. After giving Dr. Nefario a 21 fart-gun salute send-off with the minions, Gru contacts Lucy and takes on the task of recovering the stolen mutagen.\n
Traces of chemical scent given off by the mutagen narrow the search to the confines of the Paradise Mall. Gru works undercover as the owner of a cupcake shop, named \"Bake My Day\", with Lucy being assigned as his partner. He suspects Eduardo Perez, the owner of Salsa & Salsa, is an old super-villain called El Macho, who supposedly died after body-strapping TNT and riding a shark into an active volcano that resulted in his fiery demise.\n
The duo break into Salsa & Salsa after closing hours, in an attempt to convict Eduardo. Gru and Lucy, however, have to tangle with Eduardo's pet chicken, Pollito. Pollito ends up pinning down Gru, whom barely gets saved by Lucy firing her epoxy shooter at the unruly chicken. The duo then searches the kitchen vault for the PX-41 serum, only to find Eduardo's special salsa. They are forced to flee when Eduardo arrives and barely escape thanks to Dave and another Minion.\n
While the team investigates wig merchant Floyd Eaglesan, Margo begins to develop a crush on Eduardo's son, Antonio, much to Gru's frustration. The Gru family is invited to Eduardo's Cinco de Mayo party at his mansion. Following this incident, Gru's over-protectiveness of his daughter leads him to make wild, baseless accusations about Eduardo being El Macho and his son, which are scoffed at by Ramsbottom.\n
Later that day, a determined matchmaking neighbor, Jillian, sets a reluctant Gru up on a date with her rude and superficial friend Shannon. During the date, Shannon discovers Gru's wig and threatens to humiliate him, but Lucy saves him from embarrassment by shooting her with a mild moose tranquilizer dart. They take Shannon home, and Gru realizes he is in love with Lucy. When he arrives at the mall the next day, the Anti-Villain League arrest Floyd Eagle-san, who protests vehemently that he was framed, after the AVL team uncovers the empty mutagen jar in his shop. Silas tells Gru that the case is now closed and that Lucy will be transferred to AVL's Australian branch.\n
Gru, heartbroken from the situation, tells Agnes that she was right about him loving Lucy. However, Gru is unable to muster the courage to ask Lucy out before she leaves. The family then goes to Eduardo's party. Gru follows Eduardo and discovers that he was correct about Eduardo being the presumed-dead super-villain El Macho. Gru also discovers that Dr. Nefario has been working for Eduardo and that the duo has been capturing and mutating all of Gru's minions into the purple-furred monsters using the stolen mutagen serum, PX-41 . Eduardo offers Gru a chance to conquer the world, but Gru makes unconvincing excuses and hastily leaves with the girls. Margo has also been heartbroken when Antonio cheated on her for another girl. For breaking her heart, Gru encases Antonio in a block of ice with his freeze ray.\n
Dr. Nefario calls Gru to tell him that Lucy had arrived at Eduardo's party to find him, and has been captured by Eduardo. Gru drives back to Eduardo's home with Dave and Stuart on his personal motorcycle. He disguises the two Minions in purple paint to escort his \"captured\" self into Eduardo's compound in a rescue attempt. Gru manages to restore the minions who are under El Macho's control using the awful-tasting jam infused with the antidote which Dr. Nefario made.\n
When Gru finds El Macho, the latter threatens to launch Lucy into the volcano where he faked his death. As El Macho lays his finger on the button, a Minion takes it away from him. El Macho bemoans that he wished to work with Gru and drinking a vial of PX-41, moves to kill Gru. Gru manages to electrocute El Macho with Lucy's lipstick taser. After El Macho collapses to the ground, Gru tries to untie Lucy who is strapped onto a TNT-loaded shark rocket. While attempting to do so, Pollito pecks the trigger for the rocket, sending the pair flying towards the active volcano. While on the rocket, Lucy accepts Gru's date invitation before the pair dives into the safety of the ocean, just seconds before the rocket explodes.\n
One hundred and forty-seven dates later, Gru and Lucy marry.\n

Gru attending the Villain Con
\t\t \t\n
Gru is briefly seen in the film Minions as a child, and he attends Villain-Con alongside his mother Marlena in 1968. He is observing young Dr. Nefario's newest invention, the Freeze Ray (which he later uses in the movie). While he sees the doctor freezes his left hand accidentally, he looks back and sees one of his future henchmen, Stuart, who is also looking around in the convention.\n
At the conclusion of the film Scarlet Overkill and Herb Overkill return to Buckingham Palace retrieve the crown from Queen Elizabeth II and are chased by the Minions, when the two villains are suddenly frozen by a young eight-year-old boy, Gru, with his freeze ray. He takes the crown himself and goes to make off with it proudly; next, he activates his Flying Scooter while putting the crown on Kyle's head. The minions eagerly follow the young Gru and proclaim him boss, which makes Scarlet Overkill pretty desperate about their reaction. Bob then stops to give Scarlet the smaller crown Queen Elizabeth II had awarded him, and he also leaves. Gru flies away from the palace in his flying scooter, much to his delight at gaining his new henchmen, the minions.\n
During the credits, young Gru is shown training the Minions, though he is sometimes framed by playful minions. In the post-credits scene, the song Revolution is sang in Minionese; meanwhile, all the characters, including young Gru, show up and dance with the music and the minions. Suddenly, everyone runs away in horror because the Tyrannosaurus Rex from the beginning appears; Gru doesn't notice until the dinosaur roars. Gru attempts to use his freeze ray on the dinosaur, only for it to jam.\n
Gru and Kyle can be briefly seen in the dog park in Washington Square Park.\n

Despicable Me 3
\n
In Despicable Me 3, Gru becomes an agent for the Anti-Villain League. When Balthazar Bratt steals a huge gem, Dumont Diamond, from a ship and is about to flee, Gru and his wife with two minions arrive with their personal submarines to pursue Bratt, which change into water scooters when going out of the water. Lucy then blows a water column throwing Gru to the ship - which is now floating away because of the expanding chewing gum that Balthazar threw.\n
\n \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Gru singing the birthday song embarrassingly.
\t\t \t\n
Gru at first tries to shoot Balthazar but he soon finds out his gun is replaced with a water gun (presumably done from his daughters); then, he fights aganist a dancing Balthazar. Due to Balthazar's carelessness, Gru knocks him out and gets the gem; yet, Balthazar activates his keytar and the shockwave of the tune blows away Gru's clothes and then throws him out of the ship. A broken bubble from Balthazar's gum hangs Gru in the front of the ship, but the floating boat brings the naked Gru in front of a birthday party held in a skyscraper. Seeing this, Gru embarrassingly sings the birthday song to the party participants, which make the people inside amused and even take photos of his ridiculous appearance.\n
After the mission, Gru, in his Grumobile, crashes a car with whose drive provocates him when he mutters about considering to take revenge on Bratt by dancing. The couple then enter a house and ascend to a base of AVL in the sky by a secret mechanic system inside. They enter a huge auditorium where numerous agents gather, in the middle, Silas Ramsbottom announces his retirement and his position will be replaced by Valerie Da Vinci immediately, and impatient Valerie soon pushes him down under the podium. After he is gone, Valerie furiously questions which agent failed to capture Bratt, who is the criminal AVL has been long for to catch. Gru answers, and Valerie decides to fire him, while Lucy defends for her husband, stating that she should be fired as well and doubting Valerie won't want to do so. Eventually, Gru and Lucy are thrown out from the aircraft with their items.\n
When they return home, their daughters give them a surprise party for their honeymoon in the way of \"kidnapping\" them. The party takes place in a tree house in Hawaiian style, with Dave and Jerry amusing them with drum playing. Agnes prepares a mixed soup with a gummy bear inside, which both Gru and Lucy almost barf when having some. When the girls ask them about their work, Gru admit that he lost his agent job and he will find another one.\n
Mel gives a call to Gru, so Gru goes down to the lab. There, the Minions, already know the news that Gru is no longer an agent, excitedly persuade Gru to go back to villainy. Gru doesn't want to, and Mel projects a slide about a collection of Gru's past featuring his villainous acts and embarrassing scene being a father. Gru, however, doesn't change his mind, so the Minions decide to leave him, except Dave and Jerry, who are just back from the Hawaiian party.\n
The next day, Gru knows the news that Bratt got the diamond from the newspapers, and he sees Agnes selling some items for maintaining their life, including her beloved Unicorn Plush, which Gru is quite surprised and little bit sorrowful when it comes to his joblessness. Fritz shows up at the lawn asking for Gru, and Gru tricks him into holding a rocket and launching it away to explode; however, Fritz returns, telling Gru that he has a twin brother named Dru and the news about his father, Robert. Gru, at first, isn't convinced at all, because he believes his father has been dead for years, but he becomes puzzled when Fritz gives him a photo of his parents and two infants taken it 1960s. After this, Gru goes to his mother, who is having diving classes with young Vincenzo and Paolo; as Gru asks her about whether he has a twin brother, she is shocked and then explains the real story. In fact, she divorced with Robert and hid the truth about having another twin son.\n
\n \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t
Gru and Dru in the garden
\t\t \t\n
Later, Gru takes a private plane with Lucy and the girls to Dru's Mansion in Freedonia; in his way, he is excited for meeting Dru and guesses which appearance he will be like. As he lands a the nearby apron, he finds that the mansion and the apron are surrounded by and full of a large herd of pigs, and one of them keeps attacking and chasing after Gru. Gru happily greets to Dru as Dru rushes down the stairs, but he is soon shocked to see that Dru is a blond after he takes off his white hat. Dru then asks Fritz to drive Lucy and the girls to the town, and Gru and Dru go to the underground base beneath the garden in the mansion; during the process, Gru falls to the end hard unprepared. Dru then takes Gru to some statues of their ancestors, telling him that the villainy is actually the family tradition. When Robert was alive, he was proud of Gru while he wasn't satisfied with Dru. Gru replies that he quit being villain for a while, so Dru shows him a multi-functional golden vehicle that Robert once used and they both drive to the town wildly. The vehicle is equipped with superb functions, saving them from many following critical circumstances, though Gru is quite shocked and annoyed.\n
In the town, Dru steals two lollipops from a candy shop cart, and soon he and Gru and chased after Freedonian police. Gru drives fast in lanes and eventually escapes by drilling a big hole to the sea outside the town. In a corner of the beach, Dru persuades Gru to commit another heist, and Gru decides to get the diamond back. At night, Gru exchanges clothes and disguises as Dru; their acts confuses Lucy and the girls. Agnes finishes his dinner quickly and she tells Gru that she is going to find a real unicorn so she needs to go to bead earlier. After Agnes prays to find the unicorn successfully, Gru goes in to the room and climbs up the ladder to reach her bed; at first, he tries to tell her that unicorns don't exist, but he changes his words not to break her heart. As he walks down, he falls to the floor as he forgot the height of the ladder.\n
In the State Prison, Mel recalls some good memories with Gru when he sees some soap bubbles on the ground and it resembles Gru's face, so he carves the mashed potatoes in the dish and when the Minions and other prisoners are having meal. Later, Gru demonstrates the tight protection around Bratt's Lair to Dru and he plans to go inside the lair alone while Dru waits outside. In his way to the lair, Gru, with a suit of fully body protection, fantasizes about after they retrieving the diamond, imagining that Valerie would be too impressed while he and Lucy can successfully return the AVL. After he springs to the wall of the lair, he finds out that Dru follows him and often causes danger to himself due to his clumsiness. After they get in, Gru later finds himself in Bratt's bedroom, where Bratt hugs the diamond, sleeping; the alarm is accidentally hit and Bratt wakes up, but he doesn't notice Gru or Dru and he leaves the room with the diamond.\n
Gru is surprised to see that Bratt stored hundreds of Evil Bratt dolls in his lair, and he finds a bubble gum factory with Dru. Gru hides behind some facilities and finds out Bratt decides to put the diamond into a giant robot he built; just then, Gru finds that Dru, who tried a piece of bubble gum, is having enlarging bubble gum from his nose and mouth and he tries to save his brother; Clive notices, and Bratt is surprised to see them both, as he laughs, Gru uses Heimlich maneuver to make the bubble gum spewed out to trap Bratt. They barely escape in the helicopter Lucy drives. Gru claims that the diamond can be taken back to the AVL, and Lucy twists his shoulder, telling him not to go behind her back ever again. After they get off the helicopter, Gru and Dru have an argument, and Gru criticizes Dru not having a real job and leaves. While Gru is about to leave out the door, he finds the real Lucy bound in the closet, and she told Gru that Bratt took the girls. Then they rush to Dru, and Gru tells Dru that Bratt has the girls. Then he apologizes to Dru for his attitude. They pass by the plane that the Minions built, and Mel decides to follow them.\n
While Bratt causes havoc in Hollywood, Gru is coming so he shoots out numerous Bratt dolls to disassemble Gru's flying vehicle; they three escape before it crashes, but Gru is thrown to the streets and loses his consciousness. Dru destroys the core of the giant robot before Bratt cut the street with the laser beam while Gru is in the path. Gru wakes up and wants to find Dru in the ruins, and he sees Bratt, holding keytar, is in front of him. They then start a dance fight, at first, Gru loses several times, and then he gets his keytar and blows Bratt away by its shock wave of the of the sound. He later reunites with his family and the Minions.\n
Gru is later seen having a pillow fight with Dru and Minions when Lucy asks them to sleep; as he leaves, he tells Dru not to do anything villainous. But soon, he hears loud noises outside; it turns out that Dru and Minions drive Gru's Airship and decides to commit crime, and Gru decides to give him five minutes and laughs sinisterly.\n

Minions: The Rise of Gru
\n
During the Chinese New Year of 1976, Gru has adopted the nomadic Minions, giving them a home. For a long time, Gru has dreamed about being part of the Vicious 6, a team of supervillains. Submitting his application, he is briefed by Belle Bottom on what he needs to do to gain entry to the base. Visiting the Criminal Records record shop, Gru meets the shop's tenant, Nefario, and is provided a vinyl that he plays backwards to gain entry.\n
Inside, he presents himself to the Vicious 6, where they, seeing the diminuitive, child-like form of Gru, mock him for wanting to get into supervillainy at such a young age. A dejected Gru walks away as another budding supervillain makes himself present to the team. However, the airgliding he tries to tout fails, forcing the team to move to subdue the wayward villain. This gives Gru a window of opportunity to steal a stone the team has kept in its captivity: the Zodiac Stone, stolen by former Vicious 6 member Wild Knuckles. Using a gadget Nefario gave him earlier, Gru nabs the stone as the team gives chase.\n
Gru reunites with Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, who are all able to escape back home; however, Otto goes on a wild goose chase with the stone, running into a kid's birthday party and swapping the stone with a Pet Rock. Seeing the Pet Rock instead of the coveted stone, Gru fires his minions and walks away, but is kidnapped by Knuckles, who takes him to his lair. Gru is originally ecstatic about being kidnapped by his idol, Wild Knuckles, but the excitement quickly dissipates as Knuckles demands the Zodiac Stone. With no stone in-hand, Gru is forced to endure disco-themed torture.\n
However, Knuckles' goons all quit on him, forcing him to put Gru out of the disco torture. He saves Knuckles from being eaten by a crocodile and robs the Bank of Evil. However, they return to Knuckles' destroyed home. Knuckles gives up, forcing Gru to go after the stone himself.\n
It is the night of Chinese New Year; Otto, Kevin, Stuart and Bob, the latter three having just completed kung-fu training under Master Chow, reunite with Gru and are shortly after confronted by the Vicious 6 and the Anti-Villain League. As the clock strikes midnight, the Vicious 6 use the stone to transform themselves into animals depicted in the Zodiac before transforming Kevin, Stuart and Bob into weak animals themselves. Gru is trapped at the clock tower; every passing minute brings him closer to being torn apart.\n
Knuckles returns and fights the Vicious 6 with the minions, the latter all finding their inner beast. Otto frees Gru while Knuckles is badly injured by Bottom's dragon breath. Gru turns the Vicious 6 into rats as they and an injured Wild Knuckles are both taken away by the AVL.\n
Gru, believing Knuckles has passed on, delivers an eulogy, but Knuckles reveals himself to have faked his death to evade capture from the AVL. Gru, returning to a closing Criminal Records, recruits Dr. Nefario, who presents him with an airship, beginning a partnership that would stand the test of time.\n

The real Gru returned home only to find his house made \"girly\" and the social worker fainting into his arms, who had been frightened by the fake Gru.

Nothing defines modern children's animation like tiny, yellow, pill-shaped bodies with varying eye numbers and cute blue overalls. Despicable Me is a children's animated movie franchise that came out with its first film in 2010. Since then, people of all ages have become fans of characters like Gru and all the Minions. In fact, the Minions are an entire entity in themselves (via New York Times). The little creatures speak complete gibberish, sometimes Spanish, and other languages jumbled up, but children, and even adults, eat it up.
\n
The Minions are a loyal bunch to Gru, and with an army like that, what’s not to love? Despicable Me’s story was warm, heartfelt, and packed full of action. The movies had their bright spots, but none shined quite like the Minions. They were responsible for so much innocent comedy, character, and nonsense. Even though there are many of the little guys running around, some have a special place in our hearts. If you are a fan of the Despicable Me franchise, make sure you check out our ranking of the best Minions from the movies.
Carl is a charming little Minion. Many of the little guys have singular moments that stick in our minds when we think about the Minions. Carl, in fact, has one very memorable line in the Despicable Me movies. He comes into the room wearing a siren, saying "bee-do" through a megaphone. Well, at the moment, it was just as annoying as it was cute, and he was instantly shut down by being sprayed with a fire extinguisher.
The Minion named Jorge happens to be the main subject of one of the most iconic Minion moments ever. Jorge is a wider-set Minion, with hair that sticks straight up and two very lovely eyes. The Minions with Gru are hilarious. However, the Minions alone? Unmatched. Jorge's defining moment in the entire Despicable Me franchise was when he sat down, bare-butt, on a scanner in order to photocopy his own bottom. The moment was charming, funny, and fit perfectly into what we would categorize as peak Minion nonsense.
The names of all of these Minions are so ordinary in comparison to their out-of-this-world personalities. Along with being uncontrollably erratic and childish, the Minions are completely loyal to Gru. For example, we have Dave. Dave has two striking eyes and the most stunning middle part we've ever seen. He is best known in the Despicable Me franchise for his role in disguising himself as an evil Minion. You know, the purple deranged-looking ones with wild hair? Per Gru's request, Dave was one of the sacrificial lambs in this scenario, and the entire scene was just as chaotic as you can imagine.
We cannot rank the best Minions without mentioning Phil. Phil and his spiky hair do not get an incredible amount of screen time throughout the Despicable Me movies. However, his presence is definitely felt. Phil is best known for his iconic maid outfit. There are few moments in minion history that burn pictures into our minds as this one did — looking this fabulous deserves an award in itself.
Drum roll please for the main trio! Stuart, alongside both Kevin and Bob, these guys are the main squad of minions in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. Stuart has his iconic single eye on everything. He is involved in most of what the minions are up to and how they contribute to the main plot of the movies. To name of few of his on-screen contributions, Stuart is the one to sprayed Carl with the fire extinguisher, he flirted with a fire hydrant, and he was used as a minion glow stick.
We all know and love Kevin. Kevin, among the sea of yellow, is an eye-catcher because of his height. Kevin is a taller two-eyed Minion, with a little sprout of hair right in the middle of his head. Kevin is part of the main trio and an easy fan favorite of the Despicable Me franchise. As much as Kevin is an integral part of the Minion army and a great leader, he does get kidnapped by Dr. Nefario at one point and becomes an evil purple minion himself.
When audiences think about the Minions, the cuter they are, the more memorable. Well, in the main trio of Minions, no one is cuter than Bob. Bob is the shorter two-eyed stubby little minion with no hair whatsoever next to Kevin and Stuart. He is involved in many of the main shenanigans in the Despicable Me movies and with a simple name like Bob, he is easily recognizable by fans. Also, his differently-colored eyes (green and brown) are a staple, and paired with his childish demeanor and humor, Bob is easily one of the top minions in this franchise.

Nothing defines modern children's animation like tiny, yellow, pill-shaped bodies with varying eye numbers and cute blue overalls. Despicable Me is a children's animated movie franchise that came out with its first film in 2010. Since then, people of all ages have become fans of characters like Gru and all the Minions. In fact, the Minions are an entire entity in themselves (via New York Times). The little creatures speak complete gibberish, sometimes Spanish, and other languages jumbled up, but children, and even adults, eat it up.

The Minions are a loyal bunch to Gru, and with an army like that, what’s not to love? Despicable Me’s story was warm, heartfelt, and packed full of action. The movies had their bright spots, but none shined quite like the Minions. They were responsible for so much innocent comedy, character, and nonsense. Even though there are many of the little guys running around, some have a special place in our hearts. If you are a fan of the Despicable Me franchise, make sure you check out our ranking of the best Minions from the movies.
Carl is a charming little Minion. Many of the little guys have singular moments that stick in our minds when we think about the Minions. Carl, in fact, has one very memorable line in the Despicable Me movies. He comes into the room wearing a siren, saying "bee-do" through a megaphone. Well, at the moment, it was just as annoying as it was cute, and he was instantly shut down by being sprayed with a fire extinguisher.
The Minion named Jorge happens to be the main subject of one of the most iconic Minion moments ever. Jorge is a wider-set Minion, with hair that sticks straight up and two very lovely eyes. The Minions with Gru are hilarious. However, the Minions alone? Unmatched. Jorge's defining moment in the entire Despicable Me franchise was when he sat down, bare-butt, on a scanner in order to photocopy his own bottom. The moment was charming, funny, and fit perfectly into what we would categorize as peak Minion nonsense.
The names of all of these Minions are so ordinary in comparison to their out-of-this-world personalities. Along with being uncontrollably erratic and childish, the Minions are completely loyal to Gru. For example, we have Dave. Dave has two striking eyes and the most stunning middle part we've ever seen. He is best known in the Despicable Me franchise for his role in disguising himself as an evil Minion. You know, the purple deranged-looking ones with wild hair? Per Gru's request, Dave was one of the sacrificial lambs in this scenario, and the entire scene was just as chaotic as you can imagine.
We cannot rank the best Minions without mentioning Phil. Phil and his spiky hair do not get an incredible amount of screen time throughout the Despicable Me movies. However, his presence is definitely felt. Phil is best known for his iconic maid outfit. There are few moments in minion history that burn pictures into our minds as this one did — looking this fabulous deserves an award in itself.
Drum roll please for the main trio! Stuart, alongside both Kevin and Bob, these guys are the main squad of minions in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. Stuart has his iconic single eye on everything. He is involved in most of what the minions are up to and how they contribute to the main plot of the movies. To name of few of his on-screen contributions, Stuart is the one to sprayed Carl with the fire extinguisher, he flirted with a fire hydrant, and he was used as a minion glow stick.
We all know and love Kevin. Kevin, among the sea of yellow, is an eye-catcher because of his height. Kevin is a taller two-eyed Minion, with a little sprout of hair right in the middle of his head. Kevin is part of the main trio and an easy fan favorite of the Despicable Me franchise. As much as Kevin is an integral part of the Minion army and a great leader, he does get kidnapped by Dr. Nefario at one point and becomes an evil purple minion himself.
When audiences think about the Minions, the cuter they are, the more memorable. Well, in the main trio of Minions, no one is cuter than Bob. Bob is the shorter two-eyed stubby little minion with no hair whatsoever next to Kevin and Stuart. He is involved in many of the main shenanigans in the Despicable Me movies and with a simple name like Bob, he is easily recognizable by fans. Also, his differently-colored eyes (green and brown) are a staple, and paired with his childish demeanor and humor, Bob is easily one of the top minions in this franchise.
