Minion Madness Comes to Your Home as ‘Despicable Me 2’ Arrives onto Blu-Ray and DVD!

Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s worldwide blockbuster "Despicable Me 2," which entertained audiences around the globe last summer, is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD formats!

Despicable

Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team create an all-new comedy adventure featuring the return of (former?) super-villain Gru (Steve Carell), his adorable girls, the unpredictably hilarious Minions…and a host of new and outrageously funny characters.

Now that the ever-entrepreneurial Gru has left behind a life of super crime to raise Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Elsie Fisher), Gru, Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand) and the Minions have some free time on their hands.

But just as he starts to adjust to his role as a suburban family man, an ultra-secret organization dedicated to fighting evil around the globe comes knocking. Now, it’s up to Gru and his new partner, Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), to discover who is responsible for a spectacular crime and bring him to justice. After all, it takes the world’s greatest ex-villain to catch the one vying to take his place…

Minions

Joining the returning cast of “Despicable Me 2” are Ken Jeong as Floyd Eagle-san, proprietor of the local hair replacement club for men and key suspect in the most despicable crime to hit the globe since Gru departed the game; Steve Coogan as Silas Ramsbottom, Lucy’s boss in the Anti-Villain League and a superspy whose surname offers an endless source of amusement to the Minions; Moises Arias as Antonio, the oh-so-suave object of Margo’s girlhood affection (and Gru’s supreme annoyance); and Benjamin Bratt as Eduardo Perez, Antonio’s father, owner of Salsa & Salsa restaurant, and the man who may or may not be the most macho super-villain who ever villained, El Macho.

“Despicable Me 2” Character Descriptions

Now that Gru has (mostly) hung up his freeze ray and is in the business of making barely digestible jellies and jams, he’s earned a few more friends (as well as his fair share of enemies). Below is a guide to the returning and new dastardly and delightful players who populate Gru’s world:

• Gru (Steve Carell), one of the world’s greatest super-villains, has given up his despicable ways and is now on a quest to become the perfect dad. While juggling all that, he is recruited by a super-secret crime-fighting organization, which puts him in the unlikely position of having to work with the good guys to help save the world. Usually fearless, Gru is now coping with the challenges of his girls growing up and wanting desperately to ask a woman out on a date. Both of which cause him to totally freak out.

• Lucy (Kristen Wiig) is a cunning secret agent who has teamed up with Gru to hunt down an extremely dangerous super-villain. She loves one-upping Gru with her quirky gadgets and has perfected her own form of martial arts by combining Jujitsu, Krav Maga, Aztec warfare and krumping. Unlike Gru, she has trouble containing her overabundance of joy and excitement, which tends to draw unwanted attention…especially when going under cover. She keeps pace with Gru, despite always looking stylish in her six-inch heels.

• Margo (Miranda Cosgrove) is Gru’s oldest daughter and the backbone of the family. She’s the responsible one who looks out for her sisters and keeps the family together. However, now that she’s growing up, she becomes preoccupied with texting her friends and starts noticing boys her age, which drives Gru crazy.

• Edith (Dana Gaier), Gru’s middle daughter, is an incredibly mischievous and sarcastic tomboy. She asks for forgiveness rather than permission. She is going through a ninja phase and is always looking for an opportunity to take part in Gru’s secret-agent action. She loves to play pranks and cause trouble with Dr. Nefario’s gadgets.

• Agnes (Elsie Fisher) is Gru’s youngest daughter and the heart of the family. She’s obsessed with unicorns and anything fluffy. She’s so adorable that her hugs can melt even the hardest super-villain’s heart.

• Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand) is Gru’s trusted, slightly forgetful, and very, very old mad scientist. He’s losing his hearing, which causes him to accidentally invent weapons with disastrously unintended consequences. With Gru busy being a dad, Dr. Nefario begins to long for the good-old days when they were focused on doing evil.

• Gru’s loyal yellow, gibberish-speaking Minions (Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud) love causing mischief and mayhem almost as much as they love bananas. They are easily distracted and can be unpredictable, curious and subversively sweet. They are extremely competitive with each other. This can lead to sudden slap fights, but if someone from the outside tries to harm them or Gru’s family, they become fiercely protective.

• Evil Minions (Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud) are the purple, crazy-haired and even more dim-witted versions of Gru’s happy yellow Minions. They are indestructible, mindless eating machines that not only eat everything in your refrigerator, but they eat the refrigerator as well!

• El Macho (Benjamin Bratt) is the most ruthless, dangerous, and as his name implies, macho villain there ever was. That is…until he died riding a shark into the mouth of an active volcano with 250 pounds of dynamite strapped to his chest. However, his body was never found, and all that was ever retrieved was a pile of singed chest hair.

• Eduardo (Benjamin Bratt) is the extremely warm, charming and flirty owner of the popular Salsa & Salsa restaurant whose passionate Latin dancing causes women to swoon. He has a larger-than-life personality that is dwarfed only by the size of his waistline. But is Eduardo secretly the No. 1 super-villain on the AVL’s most wanted list?

• Antonio (Moises Arias) is Eduardo’s cute, rebellious and confident son. He is a ladies’ man just like his father, and when Margo sees him in the mall and their eyes lock…it’s all over. He feels the same way about her and is willing to stand up to an overprotective Gru to get closer to the girl he loves.

• Floyd (Ken Jeong) is one of the shop owners at the local mall where Gru and Lucy work secretly undercover. Floyd runs the Eagle Hair Club for Men and has the perfect suggestion for how to make Gru more attractive to the ladies who are, ahem, lining up to date him. Beneath his outlandish exterior, Floyd may or may not have a very dark side.

• Species unknown, possibly a cross between a pit bull and a piranha with the attitude to match, Kyle is Gru’s guard dog. When he first met the girls, all he could think about was trying to eat them. Now, he can’t imagine his life without their tucking him into bed every night.
