Despicable Me

Despicable Me Guía y cronología

Gru has plans for villainy, but becoming part of a family gives him responsibilities no scheme prepared him for. Despicable Me balances his domestic life with outlandish rivals and the Minions' enthusiasm for chaos. Their own films and shorter adventures take the humor into other corners of this animated world.

The chronological film view places prequels first, which differs from the suggested first introduction to Gru.

Overview & recommendation

Despicable Me introduces Gru through the collision between his villainous plans and family life. Meeting him there makes the later returns to his younger years a different pleasure from starting with the oldest setting.

The Minions also have adventures beyond Gru's immediate story. Games use the characters in their own products, so their launch dates should not be interpreted as extra events between the theatrical films.

Choose Films and follow release context from Despicable Me. Use the story view afterwards to compare the prequels, and approach games by their own format and version rather than as required movie bridges.

Film adventures and interactive products Formats, not automatically separate universes

Films holds the main Gru stories and Minions spin-offs. Games groups adaptations and interactive releases; that organization does not establish every game's precise canon or declare them all independent worlds.
