Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original soundtrack contains cover versions of 1970's hits, while in the movie, contains the actual versions by their respective artists. For example, "Goodbye to Love" is performed by Phoebe Bridgers on the soundtrack, while in the movie, it is performed by The Carpenters.
- GoofsIn the Bank of Evil, Vector's father shows us the same photo that was on his desk in Despicable Me (2010). This would put Vector's age at least the same as Gru's. In the first film, young Gru watches the moon landing. In this film he's supposed to be 11 years old. Set in 1976, that would make young Gru 4 years old in 1969.
- Crazy creditsIn a mid-credits scene, Gru hires Dr. Nefario in gratitude for an invention of his that helped him steal the stone. Nefario originally declines but decides to join him after he and the Minions beg, giving them a ride on a jet, similar to the one Gru would ride in the future.
- Alternate versionsChinese version adds an addendum which states that Wild Knuckles was caught by the police.

Featured review
The movie did have some solid laughs, but they really overdid it with the butt jokes and fart jokes. That just doesn't appeal to me (although I know who it does appeal to, so I'm somewhat sympathetic). Otherwise I would've given it an 8. Still, a fun short watch.
