Short description

Villainous Gru lives up to his reputation as a despicable, deplorable and downright unlikable guy when he hatches a plan to steal the moon from the sky. But he has a tough time staying on task after three orphans land in his care.

What's left behind the scenes

At the end of the film, when Gru throws a disco, the minion's DJ booth displays the marking “Gru-ray disc” with an inverted “b,” a parody of Blu-Ray discs.
The film also features an allusion to “The Godfather” – when Gru wakes up in bed and finds a doll's head there (in “The Godfather,” the character finds a severed horse's head).
The pink ticket to the girls' performance features the number 072069 – representing July 20, 1969 – the date of the moon landing.
Margot's t-shirt, which she wears under her jacket, depicts the Lorax from Dr. Seuss’s book.
During the final dance, Gru copies John Travolta’s moves from “Saturday Night Fever.”
The reference to the so-called "Evil Bank" points to the actual bank "Lehman Brothers," whose bankruptcy triggered the 2008 economic crisis.
When Vector kidnaps the girls, he leaves a message for Gru – a piece of paper with children's scribbles, featuring a 'V' in a circle, which is a reference to the film "V for Vendetta".
Gru's name is Felonious.
The film also features a reference to 'The Godfather' – when Gru wakes up in bed and finds a doll's head in it (in 'The Godfather', the character discovers a severed horse's head).
