Synopsis

Genre: Animation | Family

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal's new 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me. Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. - In Theaters July 9th, 2010.

Universal Pictures announced today principal voice talent for its inaugural 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me, the studio's first film from billion-dollar animation producer Chris Meledandri ("Ice Age" franchise, Robots, Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who). Meledandri will produce through his new Universal Pictures-based family-entertainment shingle, Illumination Entertainment, which has a multi-picture deal to deliver live-action and animated all-audience films for the Universal slate.

Lending their voices to the project is an accomplished cast of actors that includes: Steve Carell; Jason Segel; Kristen Wiig; Will Arnett; Russell Brand; Jemaine Clement; Jack McBrayer; and Julie Andrews.

"Everybody has a wicked side, whether they are six or sixty, and yet so often storytelling draws a sharp line between good and evil," says Meledandri. "After years of taking my sons to the movies and having them leave the theatre with the villain as their favorite character, we decided to make a movie where the villain is the protagonist."
