Despicable Me just hit the stores in time for the last days of Holiday shopping, which is usually when you’ll see me frantically getting it all done!
My girl didn’t get to watch this one in theaters, but was definitely aware of the yellow “things,” which now we know are called Minions, that were plastered all over billboards, buses and walls in our city. So, as soon as she saw the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack cover she wanted me to put it on to have an impromptu movie night. We had a great time laughing at the silly minions as they tried to find a unicorn for Agnes, the youngest of the three orphan girls, after Gru, the Villain and their Master, had pulverized hers.
Even the villain Gru had us laughing at his attempts to steal the moon. Wasn’t easy to explain to my daughter why you really couldn’t steal la luna, as hard as you tried.
As we do with all DVDs that allow us to, we watched this one with the Spanish option. I tried to get you a clip of the movie in Spanish to watch with your kids, but I found something better. This clip features one of Agnes’ cutest moments. If you click on one of the flags on the top of the screen it will repeat the scene in the corresponding language. Very fun for our multilingual kids to explore!

I didn’t get to see it–but oh, I WANT TO! This would also be a good movie to show my Spanish classes. I hesitate to show movies, but sometimes if they have a Spanish language feature, I will!
I re-tweeted your giveaway post.

I want to win this movie, because I have never seen it and have wanted too since the second batch of Trailers came out. ( The first batch only showed to two male leads, no minions or kinds, and didn’t look that entertaining) Ever since the those other trailers came out though, I’ve been wanting to see this.

I saw it with my sister. I loved the fatherly bond Gru builds with the girls since I’m a daddy’s girl myself. LoL.
We haven’t seen it yet, but we’ve watched the trailors. It’s a good reminder that DVDs have other langauge options. We don’t watch very many movies, but that would be a great reason to cozy up and watch: another Spanish exposure to discuss.
What a great find! Are there more utube videos that have the language selection?

I haven’t seen the movie but I want to, main reason I am trying to win it. We just got a Blu-Ray player and rented Shreck. I was super impressed with the clarity of a toon on blu-ray. I can only imagine this one to be the same.

I know I’m supposed to write that it’s for the kids. But the truth is I was working on a project for most of the theatrical run, and I want it for me! I think Carell is hilarious and if the kids are good…I will let them watch it with me!
