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, planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going
to steal the moon. (Yes, the moon!) 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. The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest
challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
