Despicable Me

Despicable Me is a 2010 American animated comedy film directed by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin and written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. The first feature film produced by Illumination Entertainment, it features the voices of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Will Arnett, and Julie Andrews. The story follows Gru, a longtime supervillain who adopts three orphan girls to use as pawns in a sinister scheme, but reluctantly develops an emotional attachment to them. Development of Despicable Me began when writer Sergio Pablos pitched the idea about a main character having villainous attributes to producer Chris Meledandri following Illumination's foundation in 2007. The film was announced in 2008, with much of its creative team attached. Animation was provided by Paris-based studio Mac Guff.
