The music score is just wonderful and suits the moods of the film as they come along. This makes the animation look less artificial and more fluid, and this especially shows when it comes to the practical jokes. Technical wise, the animation is gorgeous, bright and nicely rendered with a deft touch of simplicity to it, causing it to be not too overly glossy and polished. And let's not forget the utterly adorable and hilarious minions and their wacky antics. Nefarious played by Russell Brand, and I could not believe Julie Andrews was Gru's mother, I hardly recognized her voice at all! Jason Segel was hilarious as Gru's vain nemesis Vector. Some hilarious supporting characters round out the primary cast, most notably Gru's assistant Dr. And what Gru plots and does is beyond ridiculous and far too funny to be deemed 'serious' by any cynic. Steve Carell is spot-on as Gru and he makes the role funnier than it should be, I mean his voice and humorous style is there behind the funny accent. The three girls end up being adorable and lovable characters, as per the main character/protagonist/villain, whom you can't help but cheer on and care for, no matter what he does. Most of the jokes had the entire audience rolling in the aisles. The humor is also not too over the top, yet utterly hilarious and ingenious when they pop up. I have never heard of the filmmakers before, but this is a heck of a debut from two first-time animated film directors. With nice direction, the filmmakers were able to combine two quite unoriginal plots into one with ease and without force, and they managed to add wit, charm and smart humor to it as well. Universal's 'Despicable Me' is yet another gem in an already quite-heavy bag of diamonds.

This is proved with Pixar's unmatched (touching wood) winning streak and Dreamworks' surprise turn 'How To Train Your Dragon', which proceeds to continue the ever- increasing 'golden years' of computer-animated films. As a reviewer mentioned, this year is set to be a great year of animated films, much like the previous two years.
