about Despicable Me, let's bring back Despicable in September 2013. Steve Burke, CEO of NBC Universal, confirmed that a third was in development movie from the Despicable Me series. Cinco Paul and Kend Dario returned to WR for Despicable Me3.

The movie needed a villain with an iconic voice very similar to Gru's. Associate producer Brett Hoffman suggested asking South Park creator Trey Parker if he would be interested in the role, and producer Chris Melandre loved it. Idea Parker loved the idea of ​​voicing Balazar for Despicable mi3 as he was instantly drawn to the character after his first day of filming. He admitted that it was a new experience since he had never been directed by anyone other than himself before other actors who had been considered for the role of Bazaar were Ed Helms Ty Burell Kevin Poock John Cena Steve Zan and Alan Tudk I guess Parker just fit a little better for Balazar, the team needed to come up with a villain concept that could also match Grus in the past.

I had some issues due to Gru's character as his roots as a villain made him a formidable adversary, however, Lighting felt like they had something there with Balazar from the beginning, a clear theme surrounding the Despicable Me franchise and That only grows in the third movie as we are introduced to Gru's twin brother, the real question is whether he is a friend or an enemy. You'll have to watch to find out. The trailer that was tweeted on the official Despicable Me Twitter showed Gru's brother convincing him to return to villain no, don't do it, Gru, actually do it because he's pretty entertaining.

Three different trailers were released for the film, one in December 2016, one in March 2017, and the last one in April 2017. 17 are all amazing, it seems like someone is a &m. fan in the music department, the first and second trailer feature Dr Dre's 1999 song What's the Difference featuring showcases and Eminem and the third released trailer features Slim Shady's song so bad from his 2010 revival album. film was released on June 30, 2017. The first film in the franchise not to be released in the month of July, most of the original voice cast returned and Jenny Slate was added to the team as Valerie Da Vinci, you

know

Slate like Tammy and Bob's bir pony head in Star versus the. forces of evil Huntress magician in Adventure Time Harley Quinn in the Lego Batman movie and of course in live action as Mona Lisa, Jean Rio's sister, in Parks and Recreation in June 2017 Fel released the song There's Something Special for the Despicable Me soundtrack3 who has now contributed to every soundtrack in the Despicable Me franchise, Despicable Me was first developed by Sergio Pablos in 2009.

Pablos had a long history in animation dating back to the '9s, when he helped create notable films such as Tar an and A Goofy Movie, the concept of the film always focused on villainy the working title of the concept of Pablo was evil i instead of the title we

know

and love today in this version guu was made to be a real villain his bunny slippers were made from real bunnies his toothpaste was made from scratch teeth and he had breakfast made from endangered condor eggs, you know, evil stuff, Pablo pitched his concept to lighting studios, which They were directed by producer Chris Melandre, right there Melandre knew that Cinco Paul and Kend Dario would be perfect for the screening of Riders, hence the production of Despicable.

I was about to go global, while lighting is based in Santa Monica, Matt Guff lighting is based in Paris, while Pablo studio spa Studios is based in Spain, even before Pablo presented the idea to lighting , melandre wanted to do a story from a villain's perspective. John Cohen praised Pablo's concept saying it was perfect for studio lighting. He was determined to make this series a signature hit that would stick with the company. That's why Melandre made sure they didn't include archetypes or two-dimensional characters in this project. It was quite a challenge for the studio team to create a story that focused on a villain, it was unusual and turned out to have challenges, but the story would not have been possible if Gru had not started that way, two of the jokes of the series.

The opening scene first appeared in the field. These moments are when Gru freezes people in the cafeteria and when he pops the children's balloon for inspiration, the team looked at one of designer Eric Gan's early drawings, which was of Gru Carve. It was one of the few things that had the least amount of changes from its original design according to the original concept Gru was not spelled gr r u was gr o is a simple change, but there is something about that change of u that really made us Like Gru was also depicted as a classic 1970s spy movie villain in the Movie Bible, there was even an image showing two bound agents that bear a striking resemblance to the classic Danger scene from Live and Let Die.

James Bond. Now a super villain needs to look like Gru. The original design was much more appropriate for the title than the film's classic turtleneck and jacket. He was wearing an elegant black dress, you know, like supervillains do with a red collar adorned with a skull. How evil, in fact, Gru himself looked very different. This is not like this. Surprise when talking about the original concept, but Gru's first design had hair, he also had a longer face and a goat tea and an all-round clier appearance as mentioned. Gru went through some changes. Pablos has dozens of different grus, some of which look more like his original.

The conceptual design, some even draw on Edward Scissor Hands for inspiration how the designer grew up, watched famous comedians, borrowed physical comedy from Peter Sers of Pink Panther fame and Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean, as well as Pink Panther and Mr Bean. The French animators were inspired by other well-known physical comedians, they studied the films of Charlie Chaplain Buster Keaton and Jacqu Tati Guu was designed in such a way that he moves gracefully even though he is a broad-

should

ered man. The filmmakers wanted to create a spy. type of versus spy movie where Gru could sneak away and take on an Explosion Gambit and emerge unscathed in the end, the team set out to create a stylized world for Gru and his family.

They had no interest in a photorealistic environment and opted for one with a unique color palette where Guu would be without his minions, no no, those banana loving yellow pills, we mean evil minions, originally Guu had a cabal of evil agents who carried out his orders. These henchmen were originally designed to be burly, muscular henchmen, the art directors. They decided it wouldn't be appropriate for Grw to be an underdog character surrounded by an army of henchmen, so they opted for a less threatening design. Originally, Gru's adopted daughters were a little less distinguished; Not only were the girls unnamed but they also appeared to be around the same age rather than different ages, with the girls given names and designs early in the pre-production process.

Edith, the tomboy, was more feminine. At first she was missing a hat and she carried a toy magic wand with her. Margar went through some changes. Furthermore, instead of being the oldest, she originally seemed to be the same age as the other girls, she had a simpler appearance and sported a thick sweater and suspenders, while Guu went through many drastic changes. Vector was a nerdy villain even at the beginning. The concepts seem like variations of the standard nerd character in the original tone. Kyle Gru's mutant lapdog was given a much more appropriate name, Kagul. He was the result of a genetic experiment and attacked anyone who wasn't Gru.

Kyle wasn't always the tiny monster that I know in another scrapped idea for a scene, the girls take a giant Kyle for show and tell and the rest of the class is shocked by his enormous size, so what is he supposed to be? exactly Kyle according to the production notes? He is a mix between a pitbull and a piranha. There were plans for Kyle to be a henchman instead of a pet. Some early designs show that Kyle was going to be a Grunt with mutant appearance and power armor. In fact, it looked like Kyle was going to be a Grunt. to be Gru's right hand man.

At one point, early storyboards showed Kyle helping Grow fight Vector in the airship chase scene, so what's the secret hit behind Despicable Me's characters? Melandri explained that, at its core, the family in the film reminds us of ourselves, while their dynamic is unusual in form. The girls and Gru get together. The humor in the films is largely due to the writers of The Talented. They have stated that they make the jokes themselves as parents and understand the balance that involves both children and adults. Director of the Despicable Me franchise. Pierre Coffen has a motto when it comes to developing animated films: in the first 5 seconds you

should

forget that you are watching an animated film and understand what each character is feeling, so they made sure to implement that the entire film making process in lighting it's all about Perspective from script to storyboard to cut.

Every 10 to 12 weeks, the team rewinds to watch the entire movie and asks if the audience still likes this. It's a good way to get a fresh look at when the project was first picked up. The locations were drawn. One of the earlier versions of Gru's house was a dark, ominous tower that overlooked a normal suburban neighborhood. It was very similar to the one in the movie, except it was much bigger. There were also some rooms that were designed but never used. One of them was the Brain Room which features, you know, a room with brains kept in jars.

There's another early concept sketch of Guu where he has full villain armor. We also see that there are some sketches of this group fighting superheroes, which hasn't exactly happened. In the movies still, yes, Despicable Me had a superhero concept. Arch shows that there was a flashback superhero in an early version of the story, while the new Gru did the same villainous things as in the original concept, there were some ideas that were left out. An example of this includes Gru watering flowers in a garden, killing them in the process. A different version of the shooting range scene was worked out in the early stages of production.

In this version, all the girls win a prize before the iconic fluffy unicorn was added. his previous prize wasn't so fluffy guu and Vector are bitter rivals in the film and in the original concept art they had some fights that were cut from the production. One includes a scene where Gru was kidnapped from his own home and taken away by Vector. An idea about the shrink ray involved Guu and the shrinking girls. This sketch even shows Guu and the girls hiding from a large vector. Gru was quite involved with the girls' lives during some of the early versions in this concept art, we can see Gru enjoying a play.

He goes on a date with some of the moms at the school the girls go to, he's fine, he seems upset, but he's still a good dad, right? Despicable Me had different styles of concept art when they started production, production designer, Cheney's art is closer to the final product and some of the ideas that were cut seemed to show Vector in his past with his father, the president of the Bank del Mal, in addition to being the art director. Gulan provided some concept art and, for example, a drawing of Young Guu and the teddy bear spaceship.

The team was excited to work with layout designers Gulan and Cheney, who designed the first film. The team loved the style the two designers used to create the characters and called it Suburban Gothic. Another concept artist is Martin Tristam, although he is not listed on the official IMDb. His sketches for the film have the official production seal. Some of his scenes and locations do not appear in the film, such as a junkyard or a scene where the minions go shopping. You may have discovered that the characters in the movie are caricatures of the characters. The designer behind these models is Carter Goodrich and he also developed the characters for Pixar's Ratatouille despite it being made by a Paris-based studio.

Despicable Me is a franchise that has a world mixed with many small details. Renault points out that while some buildings have water. towers like the ones you would see inBrooklyn the door handles in the center of the doors would be commonly found in Paris the team didn't want Gru to plot his villainy in a boring location art director John Cohen described the world as a stylistic mix of Charles Adams and Edward Gory to For voiceovers, the team wanted actors who not only had a good voice but could also physically represent their personalities to inspire the animation team.

Cohen explained that they wanted the best improv actors they could find and said we can see why they chose. Steve Carell as Gru Jason Seagull as Vector Russell Brand as Dr. Nefario Julie Andrews as Gru's Mother Will Arnett as Mr Perkins Kristen Wig as Miss Hattie and many more talented actors across the board Melandre even said that Steve Carell would work with him It's unique because it comes because of the process as an actor, improviser, and writer, it's rare that Steve doesn't give you a version of the scene that everyone agrees on. He simply took that comedic or dramatic sequence and made it significantly better.

Carell always wanted to play a villain and he saw this. As a great opportunity when he created the accent for Guu, the director said that they would never have thought to express Guu like that when he came up with Gru's dialect. Corral noted that some classic villains have very recognizable voices. One of Carell's goals was to do so. Gru's accent could be identified, where do you think it comes from? Corell played with several different accents before settling on the final version according to melad dandry Carell. He landed somewhere between a mix of Ricardo Montabón and Bella Lugosi Carell felt that Guu was an opportunity to break the mold, so to speak, he saw this as a chance to be more like himself because he personally feels like he's probably meaner than most people think.

Other aspect. Drew Carell's choice for the role was that despite Gru's evil ways, he has a lot of humanity, the process of seeing that over time was what sold Carell on it from a narrative perspective. In Carell's opinion, Julie Andrews is perhaps the most inappropriate person to play Gru's mother. however, he attributes it as a good thing because of how well it works in the film, while the old Dr. Nefario is Vo to a young man like Russell Brand, he is much older than anyone realized according to the production notes. Dr. Nefario is 150 years old. the soundtrack was co-composed by Fel Williams before he became the legendary artist behind Happy Williams, he composed soundtracks for film and television, working with hro Pereira on this before coming together to write the song Blurred Lines.

Fel and Robin Thick worked together in my life. which appeared on the Despicable Mi soundtrack, Despicable Mi opened strongly on July 9, 2010 earning $56 million that weekend, becoming the third highest-grossing animated film behind Toy Story 3 and Shrek. Forever After That Summer in total, Despicable Me grossed $540 million worldwide. the tenth highest-grossing animated film in US history, although the film did well, it was not nominated for an Academy Award, however, Despicable Me won the Kids Choice Award for Favorite Animated Film and That is very important in animation, some mini-movies of the minions were included. The Blu-ray and DVD release of Despicable came together in December 2010, the three mini-movies were titled Banana Home Makeover and targeting one day after the success of the first film, Lighting knew it was the starting point of the franchise, Melandre explained that because of the outpouring of support for the film, they knew there would be more to come, while the success of the first film was shocking.

Lighting knew the process enough to make more than one film with the organic storytelling of the concept. The lighting had no problem adding to the Despicable Me Mythos shape. The ending of the original film suggested that Despicable Me 2 was going to further the evolution of Gru's family. He was a good guy in the end and the core of the sequel was to make Guu a good kind of hero for Despicable Me. The team needed to show it too. Gru's life after villainy in a way that reflects his priorities Melandre said that changing his responsibilities towards his family while still acknowledging Nefario and his henchmen was turning his laboratory into a jam factory The writers delved into Gru's past for the sequel and agreed that Great Villains aren't born, they are made, so being rejected as a child was a big catalyst for him growing up like he did according to the coffin.

What sets Despicable Me apart from other franchises is its embrace of human emotions, especially coffin love. Make the heart of the second movie by having Gru find his soulmate. The balance between finding humor for a film for all audiences can be complicated. The team did not want to alienate young audiences or older audiences with artistic choices and their goal was to create something that would appeal to all ages some employees almost didn't return director Rena said she wouldn't return unless there was a logical story fortunately the story did exactly that and back on board the behind the scenes team also returned for both the sequel and the voice talent, they had one goal in mind besides creating a great movie and that was to capture what made the first movie so good .

Teaming up for the sequel helped the team in more ways than one. Janet Healey, the production director. said that this movie was about a reunion and since they had worked together before production was much smoother for Despicable Me as well, the team was able to up their game, everything was updated from the process where they share their work to the rendering software during In the production of Despicable Me 2, the team saw the power of the pill-shaped henchmen known as the minions, realized they had stolen the show during development, and began adding more of them to the film, eventually would lead them to have their own spin-off.

The line of inspiration for the team behind El Macho in the sequel was the wrestling character El Santos for the movie, they decided what would happen if this guy was no longer in his prime and decided to design a wrestler like El Santos, who is in his last years. It's not often that an actor plays a minor role in one movie and then plays a different major character in the sequel, but that's what happened with Kristen Wig. The team loved her performance as orphan director Miss Hatti so much that they asked her to return and play the female lead in the sequel.

Lucy Wig said there is freedom to express animation physically. She can do whatever she wants with her face or her body because it doesn't depend on appearance but on how she sounds. Melandre was impressed with the wig's performance as Lucy. She even went so far as to say that she played the best female character in an animated film that she had ever seen when she designed the characters for the sequel, the team had a lot to work with, they knew what everyone was like except Lucy and they had fun. making her appearance fit the world if they are french they must wear scarves when designing Lucy the animators jokingly mentioned that everyone who is designed by someone in France must wear a scarf she looks great in it if you ask me about the sequel The team had a It was easy with the designs because the work was very voice-related, as Coffin says.

The design informs the voice and the voice informs the design. The team really invested in scenes that they felt could bring out the physical comedy, for example, the scene where Lucy grows up. in the trunk she could have been shortened, but they lengthened it for emphasis and comic effect. Fel returned to do the Despicable Me soundtrack too with Peria. It was this soundtrack that featured Forel's popular hit. Happy, there's no way you can be sad listening to her. Angry perhaps but not sad, Despicable Me would also do better at the Oscars than the original, as it was nominated for two Academy Awards, specifically it was nominated for best animated film and best original song, and happily the DVD and Blu- Despicable Me 2's ray was released in November 2013, like the first film, the Blu-ray sequel included three mini-movies titled Training Wheels, Mail Room Panic, and Puppy, Have You Seen Them?

Have you ever wanted to know what exactly the Minions were saying for the release of the first movie? Best Buy released a free app that allowed people to translate the Minion's speech during the end credits of the first movie for the home release. The app was updated to translate the entire movie. A free app was also created for Despicable Me, this time. A game instead of a minion translator is called Minion Rush and was developed by Game Loft and was available on all major mobile platforms. Minion Rush sold quite well gaining 100 million downloads in the first 3 months and even won the British BAFTA children's award for children.

Choice in a game to market Despicable Me also guu appeared on Ellen well not exactly Steve Carell dressed up as guu on the popular talk show complete with bald cap and fake nose, it's like the real life growth was there Despicable Me in Mayhem is a 3D adventure attraction where you have the opportunity to participate in one of Gru's unlikely and far-fetched plans.
