Despicable Me 3

Gru and Lucy are busy balancing family life with the jokes and chaos that come with three kids and a growing cadre of loyal minions. A flashy former child star named Bratt reappears with a plan to take over the world, and the couple's quiet routine is upended. Gru slips back into action mode while Lucy offers steady support and sharp wit as they unite with their quirky allies to track Bratt and shut down his overblown scheme. The mission moves from domestic scenes to globe hopping antics, featuring high energy chases, clever gadgets, and a stream of humor that plays off the Gru duo and their evolving family dynamics. The film spotlights teamwork and family bonds as its core.

Directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin, Despicable Me 3 continues the Despicable Me universe. It draws on characters created for the films and is produced by Illumination Entertainment, with Steve Carell returning to voice Gru and a supporting cast.

With a budget of 80 million, Despicable Me 3 grossed over 1.03 billion worldwide, underscoring the franchise's global appeal. The film performed strongly across markets and contributed to Illumination's reputation as a leading name in animation worldwide today, everywhere, truly.

Bratt became a standout villain with his neon 1980s aesthetic and theatrical mood, giving fans a memorable foil for Gru. The minions keep driving cultural chatter and merchandising, making the film a reference point in family animation, with catchphrases and visuals lingering in memes, ads, and cross media across platforms.

Critics generally praised the movie for its energy, humor, and sharp voice performances, while some noted a familiar rhythm. The film centers on family bonds, responsibility, and balancing personal ambition with loyalty, delivering warmth alongside silliness and showing that teamwork can trump ego and selfish impulses in every scene today.
