In 2010, the next computer cartoon of the Despicable Me studio, Illumination Entertainment, was released, which immediately attracted the attention of children and adults.
Introduction
Having collected considerable fees in the United States, this animated series swept around the world and became the champion in terms of views. About the Despicable Me cartoon, reviews grew in arithmetic progression. Millions of fans of this work were looking forward to the new part ...
The shelves of toy stores immediately replenished with cartoon characters. A minion boom has been around the world. Posters with minions, figures of characters, notebooks with the image of the main characters, soft toys, board games on the plot of the cartoon.
But what is so special about him? Why did a cartoon with such a peculiar name win the hearts of both adults and children? Let's try to analyze in detail the plot of the first part and see why there are so many positive reviews about the movie "Despicable Me".
How it all started
In Egypt, travelers discovered that the world famous Pyramid of Cheops was stolen and replaced by a ridiculous likeness. Further viewers are introduced to the evil Grew. He is a real super villain, he has his own house, a special villainous vehicle and an army of minions. Although this character is gloomy and unsociable, he scored a huge number of positive reviews. About the cartoon "Despicable Me" they talked differently.
A brief description of the first part
At one point, 3 orphans knocking on cookies knocked on Grew’s door. Their names are Margot, Edith and Agnes. Grew didn't let them in. He later learns that they are from Miss Hattie’s Orphanage. But our villain is now not up to the orphans, because he learns about such a loud abduction and is very upset that he did not.
Grew needs to remain the most ugly villain in the world, so he decides to steal the moon and comes up with an insidious plan. Serious helpers are needed for a serious business, so Grue draws his minions to this business, who happily support him.
However, the villain is faced with a difficulty: in order to abduct the moon, it must be reduced and, in general, somehow got to it. He decides to get to the moon on a rocket that needs to be built, and for construction it will take a large sum of money, which, unfortunately, Drew does not have, but he knows where to get it.
In order to get a considerable amount of money from the Bank of Evil, the main character of the cartoon "Despicable Me", who has gathered a lot of reviews and won fans, goes to the owner of the bank, Mr. Perkins. In the corridor of the building, he accidentally intersects with the Vector that stole the pyramid. It would seem that everything is in favor of the villain, but Perkins agrees to give money only if Grew has a reducer.
The only way to get money is to steal a reducer, which is what the main character does. But out of nowhere, a villain appears who has stolen the pyramid, and takes away the reducer from Grew. The number of problems the main character grows by one. Now, to achieve the goal, you need to penetrate the house to the Vector and steal the reducer, which he does not succeed.
Noticing the orphans Edith, Margot and Agnes, who continue to trade cookies, Grew hatches another insidious plan. He adopts orphans to visit Vector and sell him cookies. True, there will be a surprise in the basket - small spy minions, with the help of which Gru will regain the reducer.
At first, relationships with girls do not add up. In order to establish contact and implement his plan, Gru agrees to the demand of the girls and takes them to a dance school, promising to attend the performance.
As a result, the first point of the plan is successfully completed - the reducer is again with the main villain! But he does not receive money from the owner of the bank, since Perkins wants his son, Vector, to carry out such a loud abduction. Gru abandons his insidious plan and shares this news with the minions.
Suddenly, orphans support him, even give all their savings. The minions do the same. Rejoiced, the protagonist continues to implement his plan. Having reduced the moon, Grew finds a ticket for the performance of the girls. Having abandoned everything, he rushes back, but does not have time for the concert ... And instead of his girls he receives a note from Vector, in which he reports that he has abducted the orphans and in return demands the moon.
The protagonist agrees to sacrifice even the moon, but Vector does not give the babies away and hides in a rescue capsule. Gru jumps after him to save the daughters, but breaks down and falls into his ship, where faithful minions are waiting for him.
Suddenly it turns out that the reducer does not work all the time - soon the moon will become huge again! Having got out of captivity, the girls jump down, but the third grabs Vector. After a few minutes, the moon takes its true size, Gru and the girls fall down, where they are caught by the minions, and the Vector remains on the moon.
As a result, the first part ends positively. Evil Vector is defeated, Gru remains with his adoptive daughters, becoming for them a friend and a caring dad.
Cartoon generalization
From the first minutes of the cartoon, it seems that it is not suitable for children to watch: which parent wants his child to watch a cartoon about villains, about theft, about the main character’s neglect of girls from the shelter. Therefore, reviews of the cartoon "Despicable Me" at first are not very flattering.
But the plot is addictive, I want to see the denouement! The viewer sees that the main villain begins to change imperceptibly for the better.
We conclude about the first part
As a result, good conquers evil: the main character opens on the other side, and the viewer is waiting for the continuation. I wonder how the main villain will continue to live, but already in the role of a father?
Finally, in 2013, everyone expected the continuation of the cartoon again on the screens! Reviews about "Despicable Me 2" just blew up the Internet. Let us briefly examine the plot of the second part.
The long-awaited continuation of the story
As it turned out in the first part, it’s no longer a supervillain, but the real good-natured Gru calmly lives with children and earns his living by honest labor.
Nothing interesting happens in his life, but when someone abducts a secret laboratory in Africa, the main character turns to the Anti-Villain League to help with the investigation. In order to earn extra money and regain the status of Super-Villain, he agrees, Lucy Wilde goes to his partner. Soon, Grue begins to feel sympathy for his assistant.
During the investigation, the protagonist finds out that the son of the suspect, part-time owner of the restaurant, meets with his daughter, and he really does not like it. Gru decides to check this owner of the restaurant, but finds nothing suspicious. During the events, the protagonist falls in love with his partner more and more, and she reciprocates. Although the Anti-Villain League finishes the investigation, the main character does not calm down on this and decides to figure it out to the end. As a result, his suspicions are confirmed - the restaurant owner El Macho really turns out to be a kidnapper. At his secret base, our good villain finds minions turned into monsters and finds out that El Macho plans to take over the whole world. A fight ensues with the turned minions ... Gru learns that his beloved has been abducted. But good wins again in the struggle, and the cartoon hero with his beloved miracle is saved. The story ends with a wedding.
Summing up the second part
What can be said about the second part of the animated series? Good won again! As soon as Gru tried to return the name of the villain, again it turned out that he saved the world and turned out to be good-natured. A story with a good ending, a changed villain, raising three girls from the shelter and got married!
It would seem that the story "Despicable Me" is over, but reviews of the cartoon and discussions about its further continuation filled the Internet. Parents who doubted the quality of the cartoon are ready to happily lead their child to the cinema to continue. All that remained was to wait for the continuation of the cult cartoon to be released.
Will there be a continuation of the story?
And in 2017, the continuation of the cartoon is released. All the same fun and interesting cartoon about villains immediately liked the children's audience, however, the adult half of the viewers left negative reviews about “Despicable Me” (2017).
The plot of the cartoon "Despicable Me 3"
The indistinguishable Gru and Lucy family live a quiet family life with their three daughters. Gru and his wife continue their work in the Anti-Villain Committee, but after an unsuccessful assignment with Balthazar, who decided to capture Hollywood, they are fired.
Since the main character is no longer a villain, the army of minions begins to scatter. After the dismissal, the couple decides to fully devote themselves to the family, but Grew's brother appears on behalf of Drew, who wants to continue his father's work and become a famous Super-Villain. Grew must choose between a villain’s career and a partnership with the Anti-Villain Committee.
The brothers who first saw each other decide to unite and become the main villains. Thinking of what crime they would commit, Drew decides to steal the diamond from Break, but soon the criminal couple finds out that they did a good job and helped the police.
The minions really missed their master: they fell into ridiculous situations, almost thundered into prison ... The minions decide to return to their master. In the struggle of the main characters with the villains, the good people win and do not allow Break to destroy Hollywood.
The cartoon ends with the minions flying away with Drew - they have found a new ugly owner.
Conclusions about the 3rd part
The cartoon "Despicable Me 3" got enough reviews of an angry nature. This is due to the fact that the storylines were too confused, there were many parallel chains of relationships that the child could not be followed. The joke has become smaller, the minions have ceased to amuse. This part was intended, rather, for adults, but they did not appreciate it.
Many did not like the moments associated with the upbringing: Grew did not raise the girls quite correctly, although he tried to become a caring father.
But still the reviews about the cartoon "Despicable Me 3" were also positive. The main thing is that the children liked it! And even if they did not understand the idea of the authors to the end, they were glad about the new part: they saw Grew defeating the villain again and staying kind, that the beloved minions found a worthy master.
What to expect the viewer next
All parts of the cartoon "Despicable Me" received more positive reviews - the audience wants to continue, but so far nothing is known about him. It would seem that everything is in place. Grue and Lucy are no longer villains, but decent parents, funny minions have found a new owner, the end of history. But the creators of the cartoons love to surprise, and, perhaps, the next part about the minions and their new owner will soon be released, but these are just guesses.
