Despicable Me 2 (trailer)

Mon, Apr 01, 2013

I’m not ashamed to say I laughed my head off at this. Though I do continue to be disturbed by taser jokes. Tasers are not toys, people.

I’m a little disturbed by the use of Eminem/Slim Shady to sell a family movie.

is silas ramsbottom in any way related to wendolene ramsbottom, wallace’s love interest in ‘Wallace and Gromit in A Close Shave’?

Hmm… to me, this looked like a trailer for a generic toy-selling kiddieflick, using some characters who were in a good film once. Daddy scared of daughter’s puberty, transforming car, somebody shouting “whoooooooah”… it’s all there.
But, thank goodness, I am not the target audience.

did you ever watch the first movie? It wasn’t about generic toy-selling. It was about specific FLUFFY UNICORNS THAT ARE SO FLUFFY I’M GONNA DIE. …what?

I haven’t seen the first film, and I was talking only about the reaction I got from this trailer – a very strong impression of “hey, we’ve got the rights to these interesting characters, so now we’re going to put them through physical comedy to amuse the five-year-olds”.
(Even though as far as I know it’s actually the same people as last time making the film.)
