Despicable Me 3 3D
Pierre Coffin, director of the two prequels and voice of the Minions, returns to co-direct the third installment starring Kristen Wiig, Steve Carell and South Park's Trey Parker.
Gru (Carell) faces off against Balthazar Bratt (Parker), a former child star who grows up to become obsessed with the character he played in the '80s, and gets into some sibling rivalry when he meets his long lost twin brother, Dru (also Carell).

Reviews & comments
Variety
press"Despicable Me 3" is unwieldy, but it mostly works, as co-directors Pierre Coffin (who also voices the Minions) and Kyle Balda never lose sight of the film's emotional center, packing the rest with as much humour as they can manage.
The New York Times
pressThe latest animated "Despicable Me" outing shows signs of wear even as its energy level escalates.
Sydney Morning Herald
pressMarks the point that TV shows typically get to around season seven, when the writers have run out of viable plot lines and have to fill the void with desperate, random invention.
Stuff
pressIt's the Despicable Me films that now represent "kids' cartoons'" most intelligently put-together and resonant storytelling.
New Zealand Herald
pressThe proceedings are also buoyed by such franchise mainstays as the endearing sweetness of Gru's relationship with his three adopted daughters and the mildly European aesthetic that helps distinguish these films from their peers.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIt’s an if-it-ain’t-broke-then-don’t-fix-it approach that works just fine if you’re simply looking to take another ride on the rollercoaster...
