Despicable Me, the animated film that revealed the Minions, is back on Prime Video from February 1, 2025 and on Netflix from February 16, 2025. A humorous adventure for the whole family!

Directed by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin, Moi, moche et méchant is an animated comedy that has left its mark on the history of family cinema. Released in 2010, the film features Gru, a disillusioned super-villain who will do anything to fulfill his greatest dream: to steal the moon! Surrounded by his faithful Minions and armed with wacky inventions, Gru faces an unexpected challenge when he becomes the guardian of three little orphans, Margo, Edith and Agnes.

Featuring a French dubbing by Gad Elmaleh, with Steve Carell and Jason Segel in the original version, this film captivated young and old alike with its offbeat humor and endearing characters. Mixing action, comedy and tenderness, it became a must-see for animation fans and launched the famous Minions franchise.

Where and when can you see Despicable Me in France?

DespicableMe will be available on Prime Video from February 1, 2025 and on Netflix from February 16, 2025.

Synopsis: In a charming residential neighborhood bordered by white wooden fences and adorned with blooming rose bushes stands a black building surrounded by an overgrown lawn. This sinister facade hides a secret: Gru, a nasty villain, surrounded by a myriad of minions and armed to the teeth, who, unbeknownst to the neighborhood, is plotting the biggest heist of all time: stealing the moon (Yes, the moon!)...

Gru is fond of all sorts of nasty toys. He owns a multitude of air and ground combat vehicles and an arsenal of immobilizing and shrinking beams with which he annihilates all those who dare stand in his way... until the day he comes face to face with three little orphan girls who see in him someone quite different: a daddy.

DespicableMe is aimed primarily at families and children aged 6 and over, but it will also captivate adults with its subtle humor and many winks. With hilarious characters like the Minions and an original plot, this film offers a perfect blend of comedy and emotion.

Fans of animated films such as Shrek or L'Âge de Glace will find a similar dynamic here, combining whimsical adventures and funny dialogue. However, those who prefer more realistic or serious narratives may not find this fanciful and slightly absurd universe to their liking.

What sets this film apart is its unique tone and the personality of Gru, an endearing "villain" who evolves over the course of the story. The success of Despicable Me is also due to its unforgettable secondary characters, such as the three orphans and, of course, the Minions, who have become veritable pop culture icons.

In 2010, Despicable Me was a huge success, grossing over $500 million worldwide. This first opus not only gave birth to a successful franchise, but also allowed the Minions to become stars in their own right, to the point of enjoying their own films. Even today, this animated classic remains a benchmark in the genre, as much for its humor as for its emotionally rich storyline.

With its endearing characters, irresistible humor and moving story, Despicable Me is an animated classic. Whether you're a fan of the Minions or looking for a film to share with the whole family, this comedy remains an ideal choice.
