    • Trivia
      When Lucy and Gru are reviewing Paradise Mall shop owners (suspects), the owner of Stuff-A-Bear (a satire of Build-A-Bear) overstuffs a bear and it explodes, making an expectant little boy cry. The boy is the same one that Gru made cry with a popping balloon in the beginning of the first Despicable Me (2010).
    • Goofs
      When Lucy is tazing Gru he drops his freeze ray but when it shows her trying to pick him up it is gone.
    • Quotes

      Gru: [to Dr. Nefario] Just because everybody hates it doesn't mean it's not good.

    • Crazy credits
      Throughout the first half of the end credits, three minions - Kevin, Stuart, and Bob - hold auditions for Minions (2015).
    • Alternate versions
      When first aired on NBC in 2016, the Illumination Entertainment logo from The Secret Life of Pets (2016) was used in the place of this film's variant.

    Better than the original!

    It's not often that a hit animated film's sequel surpasses the original film. Despicable Me 2 is one of those rare cases. From the moment it appears on the screen to the end of the film, Despicable Me 2 is a fast paced, fun film that never ceases to be entertaining.

    This film has you laughing quite often, contains humour that both kids and adults can appreciate, and had at least one moment that was worthy of clapping out loud to.

    The character development is to be praised, as is the warmth and soul that Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud put into this film.

    This film leaves you feeling joyful and satisfied and happy for the characters and the new direction their lives are taking.

    This film is not to be missed and I can't recommend it enough.
