What we have here isn't your average simpsons episdode. THe comedy is the strong suit and that's what I think makes the satisfying conclusion so non-typical and heartwarming. This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life! The bart simpson moments were on the floor-laughing0and0rolling levels of hilarity, and they manage to achieve comedy in the best ways possible through the advent of the modern animation medium with the slight character's visual gags, to even the character's expressions. It all comes across a s a great way to portray characters in this hilarious, exciting episode that is sure to keep your socks off in excitement.

This episode is hilarious, straight from the get-go there's a clever joke and it all goes uphill from there. Ok the wedding scene is boring but it's like 2 minutes long and after that the episode really picks up and cranks the comedic dial to 11. There's a joke about Fry's locker that was so funny, I think I peed my pants a little. Something I've noticed about this show is that they do a lot of clever visual gags so you really gotta keep your eyes peeled for those because when you find them they are so rewarding.

On the sheer quality side, the animation and voice casting is incredible and something really to look forward to, some of the shots in space are eye candy.

On first glance, and with the reputation of the franchise, you might think this is just some dumb kids movie like I did. But this is actually a very smart and well written story about Gru's story coming full-circle and the "rise" to his power. Gru isn't playing around anymore, and he is the boss now.

This ending goes HARD. I'm not going to spoil it, but let's just say Gru becomes "that" guy. Everything plays into each other for the storytelling. Even the Minion's shenanigans, which are usually just quick gags in the other movies, they're now meaningful elements that provide to the story. The minions feel like actual characters now, and their antics are so funny.

The whole movie just gives me chills thinking about how cool it was. I watched this with my husband and four kids, and we all loved it. I would recommend this movie to fans of the franchise, and to fans of comedy films.
