Are you mad for mischievous, meddling minions? I know we are! It seems that there is a bit of a cult following for the Despicable Me movies, and for good reason....They're hilarious! It's no wonder that on Halloween I spotted about 500 minions out and about collecting sweet treats, and several birthday party themes I have been noticing also include these pint-sized characters. 

In case you didn't already know, Despicable Me 2 is available NOW on Blu-Ray+DVD! And, this blockbuster release includes 3 side-splitting new mini-movies, too! 

Check out this fun video clip straight from Despicable Me 2. I dare you not to giggle! 

Synopsis:

Gru, his adorable girls, and the mischievous Minions are back with a cast of unforgettable new characters in the blockbuster sequel to the worldwide phenomenon.  Just as Gru has given up being super-bad to be a super-dad, the Anti-Villain League recruits him to track down a new criminal mastermind and save the world.   Partnered with secret agent Lucy Wilde, Gru, along with the wildly unpredictable Minions, must figure out how to keep his cover while also keeping up with his duties as a father.

The Blu-Ray and DVD include loads of bonus features:

• Gru’s Girls—Miranda Cosgrove, Elsie Kate Fisher and Dana Gaier weigh in on working with Steve Carell and playing the daughters of a world-famous super-villain!
• Gadgets Galore—Lipstick tasers, magnet ships, foam dart dispensers and jelly guns—these are the nifty gadgets of Despicable Me 2. Illumination Entertainment pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build a world that would leave even James Bond envious.
• Feature Commentary With Directors Chris Renaud & Pierre Coffin

The Blu-Ray/ DVD combo pack has even more special features such as three All-New Mini-Movies starring the Minions, deleted scenes, and more!

Our Thoughts :

We absolutely love, love, LOVED this movie! I have to admit, I laughed harder than I had in quite a long time. The minions in all of their goofiness definitely entertained and kept us on our toes!

Seeing a softer, more fatherly, and even romantic side of Gru was also a treat. He is actually pretty bashful as he pursues his love-interest, Lucy Wilde, which was quite endearing. 

There was also tons of adventure as Gru struggled to track down an evil villain while remaining undetected and keeping his girls safe. Who knew Gru would make such a protective and devoted Daddy?! 

Overall, I would definitely recommend picking up Despicable Me 2 when you're shopping for Holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. This movie is heartwarming and absolutely hilarious! If you thought you loved the Minions before, you'll definitely find yourself falling for these cute little guys all over again!
