Despicable Me

Does anyone like the Despicable Me series? They're pretty good animated movies, especially when compared to the other animated crap that's coming out these days...Obviously there have only been 2 movies so far, but we do have one more coming in 2014. Unfortunately, it's just a prequel starring the minions.
Spoiler:
Don't get me wrong, I love the minions...but I want to see more of the family's life now that there is a mother/wife involved.

Have you seen any of the movies? If so, what do you think about them? Will you be seeing the minion prequel movie?

I LOVE the movies. Seen the second one 3 times now. and I might have a couple of Minion toys........and Agnes' unicorn.....and a Gru figure....and goggles and the first on BD and...well, I'm excited for more films. I want to see DM3 before a prequel, though. The girls as teenagers maybe?
Spoiler:
And are Lucy and Gru going to have a kid?

Pffft. Don't be ashamed, I have a few minion toys as well...

"a few"


Honestly I've never really liked prequels at all...I was highly disappointed in Monster's University. I'm sure a lot of people would rather see a DM3 before a minion movie. As for your spoiler...
Spoiler:
I hope not. To me it would ruin Gru's relationship with Margo, Edith and Agnes...plus, I want to see more of Lucy's relationship with them. Plus, three kids is enough.

I love DM 1...I unfortunately have not seen the second one due to not having enough money to go see it. Oh well. I love plot, so while the Minions are cute, I prefer to focus on Gru and the girls. The third is just the Minions...I'd probably see it...

I agree, it's like what I said. They are cute for the comic relief, but I watch the movies for the plot and characters which add substance to them.

Well to be fair, there are more characters in the movie than just the minions. One that we know is a villainess who is the minions' original "master" so to speak.

I can't I have one of the Mcdonald's toys, a mystery minion blind bag figure, 2 yellow minion plushies, and a purple minion plushie...both of which I won out of the claw machine. Also saw Gru in one once, but couldn't win him...

Has anyone got the talking articulated minions? I'm trying to get hold of Dave or Tim (apparently Tim sings and Dave says 'Banana') and they're selling out ridiculously fast. I saw a video of them on Instagram and they look fun!
