The unstoppable world of Despicable Me

It's remarkable to think that the original Despicable Me marked Illumination's debut feature film—created with support from Paris-based animation studio Mac Guff—and launched one of the most successful franchises in animation. Minion Rush itself has achieved staggering success, with over one billion downloads and a thriving community more than ten years after its release.

While some might find Steve Carell's Gru and his yellow helpers a bit overwhelming, their popularity shows no signs of fading. The upcoming film is certain to reignite excitement and attract new fans to the series.
