If you loved Despicable Me 2, try Despicable Me
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Chris Renaud, Pierre Coffin, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Despicable Me 2, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Despicable Me is
Suburban neighborhood, summer, a dead lawn. A black house hides a secret lair beneath, where Gru plots to steal the moon with an army of minions and an arsenal of gadgets. This film works best as a lighthearted family watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
