Featuring a new animated short film before the feature!

Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. When the infamous supervillain group, the Vicious 6, ousts their leader, Gru attempts to join their ranks but soon finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to learn martial arts to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. Filled with wild humor and action-packed thrills, this is the Despicable Me movie we’ve all been waiting for! (Dir. by Kyle Balda/Brad Ableson/Jonathan del Val, 2022, USA, 87 mins., Rated PG)
