In regard to Gru's disclaimer about the fictional nature of his storybook, if you watch enough movies eventually you will see the same thing in the credits. It usually reads something like " this is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

I saw this in the cinema in 2010 -after the financial crash and we were all still experiencing the fallout. “Bank of Evil: formerly Lehman Brothers” just killed me. It was worth the ticket price for that alone.

28:55 Astronomy teacher here! Rockets drop lower portions (called "stages") once that portion of the rocket runs out of fuel; the upper stages still have fuel, but if you shed to empty useless metal hulls below them that you don't need, you get rid of a LOT of dead weight. As a result, the rocket becomes lighter and lighter, needing less powerful engines and lower fuel consumption. You use the giant stages with the huge engines to get off of Earth, and the lighter smaller engines to make the delicate course correction and circularization burns to stay in orbit and reach specific targets in space thousands of miles away. In short, they drop those stages like that because its efficient to shuck dead weight.

"Cookie robots. I said cookie robots. Why- Why are you so old?" My favorite line out of the whole film

Unexpected best caring dad

Just wait, the sequels get even more adorable.

Such a great film. The first two Despicable Me was a breath of fresh air, absolutely hilarious, fun and fresh, and the film that shot Illumination to the animated studios upper rank. Sure, most of their films after would be mediocre at best, but their first try, is an absolute gem.

Gru was super focused on the moon and only cared about that achievement. When he achieved that goal...he quickly realized it was an empty feeling. Family and love fills the heart

One of the things I like about this movie is that the Minions are half competent at best, and any other movie would have the main character snap under pressure at their antics constantly screwing things up during the climax where he's so under pressure to succeed. Not here, though. Gru gets annoyed, and corrects his minions when they mess up, but he NEVER snaps at them or shouts. Not even when he's facing ruin. Not even at his lowest point. He just sadly tells them what's going down and that they should maybe find other employment and how much he appreciates and cares about them. Like many villains, his minions are all identical except for four variants... but unlike many villains he not only considers them and knows EVERY ONE of them by name and can tell which one he's looking at with no problem. That tells you a lot about Gru without any exposition. It is SO perfectly done. He's a jerk, but he has a heart of gold. He's a villain but he's a villain that has loved ones. He, Dr. Nefario, and the Minions are not just working together, they're a family. He loves them, and they love him. It's why he slid straight into fatherhood for the girls to the point he had to keep them. He was already halfway there at the start.

The fact you're using Steve Carrell clips in a movie with Steve is fantastic.

Don't spend all your time shooting for the moon, when you're surrounded by little angels.

The "Minion Glow Stick" gag had me laughing so hard in the cinema - easily my favorite bit in the movie. 🤣🤣🤣

For a studio’s first film on a budget, this movie is one of the best of the early 21st century

Fun fact: Miranda Cosgrove (Carley from iCarley) played Margo, Russel Brand played Dr Nefario and Julie Andrews played Gru's mom.

I love fact that the DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE (Pierre Coffin) is the voice of all of the Minions!

I love this movie! When I first heard Margo's "I love you", it made me choke up, so beautifully done!

So the minions all speak Minionese which is a mixture of english, spanish, chinese, and often times gibberish haha. I can't wait to see you react to Despicable Me 2!

They drop the first stage because it's fuel and engines are only meant to get the "working" part into space. Once that's done it's not needed anymore so it's detached.

One of my personal favourite movie trope is the "hero against their will" people. The guys who start out on the wrong end of the law, but then begrudgingly, almost against their will, will do the right thing when it really COUNTS. See Han Solo in Star Wars - that's the kind. Gru is such a lovely, wholesome example. Big bad guy gets a bunch of adorable kids to use them in a scheme, but then, actually, becomes emotionally attached to them and turns nice. Awww. :)

They used Vector as the villain because a vector is a quantity having direction and magnitude, especially to determine the position of one point in space relative to another (Examples are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, etc; which indicate the direction of the quantity and its magnitude). That’s why he shrank the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the whole plot revolves around them trying to steal the moon. Those are just some objects that can be located using vectors.

It’s refreshing to see a fresh reaction to an Illumination film. It’s actually every real language combined to make Gibberish

Despite the movie reaction itself, what caught my attention is Mary comparing a part from the Big Lebowski with "a world of pain". Brightened my day by a million

I LOVE this film! My daughter has been through the Agnes and Edith stages and we're completely in the Margot stage right now! One Big Unicorn needs publishing! Great reaction Mary 👍

Mary Cherry: “I can’t think other movies that has the villain as the protagonist?” Venom: “Are you blind, you can’t see me?!”

The recorded message and rules scenes crack the SH*T outta me!!! (I also used to do Gru’s BEEP to annoy my 🐶)

28:56 Once the fuel tank is empty, it's just dead weight. Giving rockets multiple stages they can shed in flight means the later stages have less mass to accelerate. Rocket engine nozzles also work best at one particular air pressure; muti-staging lets you step through different nozzles that are tailored to different altitudes. Movies like this, though, mostly just do rocket staging because *everyone* remembers seeing the Saturn V do it during the Apollo programme, or has seen it in movies about Apollo, and it looks really epic!

Igor is another villain-centric animated film worth watching .

I loved this movie so much when it was first released and I loved the sequel a lot more so I recommend you reacting to Despicable Me 2, thanks so much for reacting to that 😊 Also there are 899 minions in total

One of my lifelong favorites during my childhood, hands down. Thanks for the reaction!👏🏻💯

Minions and its sequel Minions: Rise of Gru are actually prequels to the Despicable Me movies.

6:56 Steve Carrell saying Roasted was a good apt call

28:57 - They drop the bottom stage (or two on some rockets) because the rocket has spent the fuel in that section, so it's just dead weight. Dropping it saves the rocket from having to carry that dead weight the rest of the way.

"I hope this movie is good, never heard anyone talk about it" POV: you live under a rock

Hello Mary how are you! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I hope you're doing great! 28:56 That's just a Rocket booster that they drop. It's for getting out of the Earth's atmosphere and once the booster is out of fuel it is dead weight so they release it from the shuttle or main rocket since we're not even using shuttles anymore. Anyways I love watching your reviews and this one was absolutely hilarious! I've always loved the lines, "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!" "It's so fluffy!" So glad u watched this one first! ❤🤍💙💛

12:20 ‘Ms. Hattie is waiting for another visit’ Ayo ? 😂

Speaking as a father... how long you can hold your breath is incredibly relevant!

Vector-Booyah!!! Me-Hey! You stole that from Cyborg! My guy Victor Stone.

28:57 Booster rockets are detached from the main module after the fuel is spent to reduce weight.

I recently saw 'Eight Grade' a few months ago and I was blown away when I found out the main character in that movie voiced Agnes in 'Despicable Me'!

I remember this movie was EVERYWHERE, when it first came out.

I like the coincidental use of the “Boom Roasted” clip from a Steve Carell show in a Steve Carell movie.

One of the most adorable modern kids movies ever!!! Good for all ages!!!

Russell Brand is a great voice actor. I can't believe he voiced Dr. Nefario.

The sequel is great too. Best movie about a dad ever: The Twilight Samurai.

4:40 I now LOVE minions simply because of Mary's sense of humor 💀

Rockets drop the extra fuel tanks because once they're empty, they are dead weight, so it uses up more fuel to keep them. Might as well drop them.

enjoy these movies I often watch them with my niece. I have a projector set up at my parents on the porch and we sometimes watch them outside when I'm over.

I would love to see a reaction to the movie "Luck" it's so cute and kinda relatable at some parts. I think you'll love it!

24:39 The 'terrible parent, great grandparent' trope. I think there's been a few cases of that happening in real life - ok in the case I heard it wasn't so much terrible parent more.....well there was tension and the parent preferred to go to the bar rather than stay and deal with problems, but talking over what happened to them as children with their children helped a lot and their relationship got better with time.

Megamind is a hard film to top but Despicable Me and Megamind are peak 2010's animation

This movie is hilarious, heart-warming, and contains the maximum amount of silliness allowed by physics in this galaxy.

I love how Vector looks like Bill Gates.

I like about the minion pulling gru undies its so funny

I don’t know why but Gru kind of looks like and reminds me of Lex luthor

“he’s gonna crack his head open”…….OK MOM

HI Mary this first one is my Favorite saw it with my boys when they were small, my favorite bit is when Agnes get the Pink fluffy Unicorn "It's so fluffy" cracks me up every time. Loved your reactions

Not sure why you were told you needed to see this for the lore, the movie The Minions covers their history and lore, when this movie is just their first appearance and doesn't really have anything to do with their lore.

You might want to see the multiple Minion shorts. Especially the "safety instructions movie" for minions is probably going to crack you up. They'll give you a lot of insight into the minions background.

Finding out that Dame Julie Andrews voiced Gru's mother was a kicker for me. This was a great movie and I try to watch it when it's on television.

21:55: *”IT’S SO FLUFFY!”* 🦄🤪

Now you can watch the other ones after this.

Speaking of Animated, I recommend Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse 👌.

Megamind and Despicable Me came out in the same year, 2010.

21:10 the voice actor for the carnie guy who has the unicorn is the same voice actor who played "Fix it Felix Jr" in "Wreck it Wralph". Jack McBrayer Kinda fun to hear him voice a 'dickhead' as well as the 'ultra good guy' from 'ralph'.

Infinity War. Thanos is the villain but he’s the protagonist because the plot is about his goal of gathering the 6 stones, and we get a backstory on how he adopts Gamora, a backstory on how his planet was destroyed & why he’s doing that

I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in 2013

It's good to see how this movie is still getting love

I love agnus. She's adorable

Another good animated comedy from the same studio as Despicable Me is "The Secret Life of Pets"

I liked this movie a lot. Even though I'm an adult, I noticed that a lot of the children's movies have really good storylines these days. Great video Cherry. 🙂

This is a good one and welcome to another series. I understand even I keep checking wondering am I good enough. But keep the expectation just low enough and things will always be better than expected when it comes.

This is the first and only time you'll hear someone say they wanted to watch Minions and were sadly forced to watch Despicable Me xD

Best line of the movie " it's so fluffyyyyyy!!!!"

you're going to love the sequels

“I can’t believe this kid pulled it off” Kid? That guy Vector is like mid-30s.

"BA NA NAAAAA!" I used empty TP rolls to make Minion themed pencil holders! ♻️ Steve Carrell! "Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World! Classic Gregory Peck! "To Kill A Mockingbird!"

I loved all of the movies, but the second one was a real treat.

i love the movie, one of my favorite family movies

Love that the 'papoy' was a toilet brush! 😅

Looking forward to your reactions to the next Despicable me and Minions movies. I think just like this one, more than the plot, it is the characters and their development that makes the movies enjoyable. Pretty sure you will like them.

Highly recommend the animated Disney film brother bear

The lion is eating the dog, the dog eating the cat, the cat eating the mouse, the mouse eating cheese. Agnes was voiced by an adorable, bright blonde 5 year old. paid, and the directors daughter.

Am I the only one that finds her editing in clips of The Office at certain parts of the video ironic, considering Michael is the guy that voiced Gru? Edit: "Steal the moon! I support you!" Never thought I'd hear someone say that. 😂😂😂

Agnes voicer was the 5 year old directors daughter. She was paid well.

I just simply love the Despicable Me movies! Well, the first two. I'm thinking I might be a little too old for the third one haha! But the first and second have truly a humor and story I think basically anyone can appreciate! That's all I'm going to say at this time, hopefully we get the next reaction soon! Glad to be here and to watch this movie with all of you, and of course, I enjoyed the reaction and the commentary as well. Also, a later edit: (Yes, I started writing my original comment while still watching the video.) Loved the analysis at the end. Especially the part where you brought up how this movie relates to all of us, and how we can see ourselves in the different characters. This opened some other thoughts and thinking in me.. Very nice!

28:58 spaceships drop those pieces of metal to reduce weight and drag. The metal is typically empty rockets, as the rockets used to break through the atmosphere can't actually be turned off once they are fire up, until they run out of fuel becoming dead weight

they drop the big part of the rocket because its only need to leave our orbit i think. and i believe re-entry is much simpler... or maybe easier not simpler, regardless im basically just guessing.

BANANA

35:25 Look at the label on the player. It says "Gru-Ray Disc"

Shortly before adopting four of my kids we watched this as a family movie night. It traumatized my younger kids. Turns out the brief part about returning the kids scared them.

I remember when I watched this movie I said that if there ever was going to be a second movie, it better be about gru getting a girlfriend/wife. Thank god that came true.

The rocket requires a lot of fuel to break through the atmosphere of the earth. Once it does so, that fuel lodge is empty and just extra dead weight. So they get rid of it. Saving on the weight they are carrying the rest of the journey, so saving on fuel requirements.

11:13 They are Minions, what do you expect?

And just like that you fell in love with Gru, and you'll even love the minions much more. May be that Gru has that name because he ''grew' as a person?

Gru is absolutely hilarious. 😅😂🤣 ... and his funny dog. 😅

We love you merry cherry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost a quarter million subscribers. What you do here is more than good enough. 👍

Dru's mother being so dreadful is made even funnier knowing that in another life she was 'Mary Poppins'!

This movie has beyond doubt the most adorable characters.
