Every Despicable Me Movie, Ranked Worst To Best
The original Despicable Me movie received incredible reviews back in 2010 and as fans await the fifth installation of the franchise from Illumination, the same CGI animation company behind the Ice Age movies, now is a good time to consider which of the Despicable Me movies were the best, and which were the worst. The movies center around Gru (Steve Carell), a supervillain-turned-caring-family-man, and his faithful Minions as they navigate a world of crime. While the franchise has brought in a combined box office total of over $3.7 billion over the years, each individual movie has received a mixed bag of reviews from critics and fans alike. Regardless, the franchise surpassed the Shrek movies as the most successful animated series of all time after Despicable Me 3 came out in 2017.
In addition to The Office’s Steve Carell, the movies have featured other legends from the silver screen and small screen, including Julie Andrews as Marlena Gru, Sandra Bullock as Scarlet Overkill, and Kristen Wiig as Miss Hattie and Lucy Wilde. Though Gru prided himself on being a rough and tough supervillain in Despicable Me, by the end of the first movie he found himself in the position of being a father-like figure to three young girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Elsie Fisher), who ultimately made him realize that being a supportive father was what was most important to him in future movies. Although the villains included in each movie have changed with every entry, the large cast of Minion characters has persisted throughout.
