REVIEW OF DESPICABLE ME

In the last movie I saw, Despicable Me, I was pleased that the movie was just as funny as the commercials set it up to be. I really liked that as I was watching it in theaters and at home with my family that every person, regardless of age, was able to laugh out loud and seemed happy after they watched it. I also really like how animation has changed since I was little. I think its cool to see the difference between this movie and something animated that came out in the 90’s or even before. I have watched this movie at least 3 times in the last week! I don’t think I can get sick of it! I didn’t think of it when I was filling out the sheet the other day in class though. One of my favorite things to do with any movie when I watch it multiple times is see if I can notice anything different. The second time I watched this movie I saw in the background the pyramid that was stolen behind the villain Vector’s house. It was the same color as the sky and had clouds that didn’t move and the whole structure looked like it was made out of bricks. Another thing I love about this movie is how there is characters that are diverse in how they act and look so it is more relatable for everyone. Some of my favorite parts in the movie are some of the obscure lines that come up.  When Gru is having a flashback where he is in a cardboard cutout of a spaceship when he was little he tells his mom that he wants to go to the moon some day, she replies that NASA isn’t sending the monkeys into space anymore. Another one of my favorite quotes from the movie is when Agnes is holding her new stuffed animal that they had just won at the carnival and she shakes it and screams “IT’S SO FLUFFY!” I enjoyed that because I feel like when I was little I probably would have said that if I had won it… I did just buy a stuffed animal the other day and as I was carrying it around the store I continually repeated that to my mom, who now thinks I am crazy :P
