DESPICABLE ME 3, starring the voice-acting talent of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Steve Coogan, Jenny Slate and Trey Parker,is now available on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™,DVD and On Demand, just in time for the holiday season!

The characters beloved by everyone – Gru, his wife Lucy, their three adorable daughters—Margo, Edith and Agnes— and the Minions provide hours of family fun in this heartwarmingly subversive comedy from Academy Award -nominated producer Chris Meledandri (Despicable Me Franchise) and directors Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me Franchise) and Kyle Balda Minions1 & 2, The Lorax). Hailed as “the best Despicable Memovie yet,” by Ali Plumb of BBC Radio 1, with over $949 million in global ticket sales, Despicable Me 3 is the ultimate holiday gift, with almost an entire hour of exclusive bonus features including an all-new mini-movie, a never-before-released deleted scene, and much more!

After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker, “South Park,” Team America: World Police), the latest evil mastermind to threaten humanity, Gru finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis. But when a mysterious stranger shows up to inform Gru that he has a long-lost twin brother — a brother who desperately wishes to follow in his twin’s despicable footsteps — the former super-villain rediscovers just how good it feels to be bad. 

Academy Award® nominee Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) reprises his hilarious role as reformed criminal mastermind Gru, as well as his newly discovered twin, Dru. The all-star voice cast also features Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, Despicable Me 2), Miranda Cosgrove (Despicable Me 1 & 2, School of Rock), Steve Coogan (The Secret Life of Pets, Philomena), Jenny Slate (Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets), Dana Gaier (Despicable Me 1 & 2) and legendary singer and actress Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins).

Review:

While a valid entry into the franchise, we didn't rate this one as the best of the movies. But having said that, I think adults may find this one more interesting, as they can sing along and laugh with all of Bratt's antics and singing, as having lived thru them, it's like revisiting their childhood! Miss Grace liked the movie, but she might have liked the extras a bit more. It's a fun movie though for family night, especially furing the holiday season when your kids are screaming "I've seen this already!" to every show that seems to be on! Have some fun with the wanted minions- come up with your own entries into the gallery, or more antics for Kyle (the dog), or crimes that could be committed by Dru/Gru! And you can also check out these fun activites to download too! But hurry,, they're only good for this month!
