This is one of those rarities, an animated sequel that improves on the original.

The assumption seems to be that the public can't get enough Minions. Despicable Me 2 sets out to test that assumption to its absolute limit.

Nothing is surprising about Despicable Me 2, but then there’s something very unsurprising about that.

A solid animated sequel worthy of the original. It’s not as fresh, and the story isn’t as compelling this time around, but it’s still a charming next chapter in the Despicable Me franchise that offers plenty of fun. And despite its unremarkable quality, it still remains probably Illumination’s 2nd best film.
