Despicable Me 2, the sequel to the adventures of Gru and the Minions, arrives on Prime Video from February 1, 2025 and on Netflix from February 16, 2025. A family comedy full of surprises and humor!

After giving up his career as a super-villain to devote himself to his three adopted daughters, Gru returns in Despicable Me 2, directed by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. In this second opus, Gru is recruited by a secret organization to put his talents as a former criminal to good use. Accompanied by Lucy, an eccentric agent dubbed in the original by Kristen Wiig, Gru embarks on a mission full of twists and turns to foil the plans of El Macho, a fearsome new villain.

With the return of the Minions, the little yellow creatures adored by the public, and humor as quirky as ever, this animated film offers an adventure that's both funny and moving. In France, the dubbing is done by Jonathan Cohen, adding a touch of French humor.

Where and when can you see Despicable Me 2 in France?

DespicableMe 2 will be available on Prime Video from February 1, 2025 and on Netflix from February 16, 2025.

Synopsis: Having given up super-crime and put aside his nefarious activities to devote himself to fatherhood and raising Margo, Edith and Agnes, Gru, and with him Professor Nefario and the Minions, must find new occupations. Just as he's beginning to adjust to his quiet new life as a family man, a top-secret organization, waging a relentless battle against evil on a global scale, comes knocking at his door...

Suddenly, it's up to Gru and his new teammate Lucy to solve a series of spectacular misdeeds. After all, who better than the ex-baddest villain of all time to catch the man vying to steal the spot he once held?

DespicableMe 2 is aimed above all at families, children aged 6 and up and fans of the saga. This second opus retains the absurd humor and hilarious situations that made the first film such a success, while introducing endearing and memorable new characters such as Lucy and El Macho.

Fans of lighter animated films, such as Shrek 2 or Ice Age 2, will find this an action-packed adventure full of funny moments. Thanks to the increasingly exuberant Minions and a plot that blends espionage and comedy, this film stands out for its fast pace and numerous visual gags. Those who enjoyed the saga's other opuses should also appreciate this sequel, which remains faithful to the spirit of the first installment.

On the other hand, viewers looking for a deeper plot or less eccentric characters may not be drawn to the franchise's cartoonish, deliberately caricatured universe.

Released in 2013, Despicable Me 2 surpassed expectations by becoming a huge box-office success, grossing over $970 million worldwide. The film also marked a turning point for the Minions, who have become iconic figures in popular culture. It was nominated for numerous awards, including the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and is often regarded as one of the most successful sequels in the animated genre.

With a funny, inventive plot, colorful characters and humorous action scenes, Despicable Me 2 is the perfect animated comedy for a family night out. Whether you're a fan of the Minions or of Gru's eccentric universe, this film remains a sure bet for laughter and relaxation.
