Talkie Zoo: DESPICABLE ME

As cute a movie as any I've seen lately, Despicable Me (2010; PG) is well animated and well written. It's the story of a villain who wants to be the most famous villain in the world. His foe, Vector, as pulled a huge heist -- he stole the Great Pyramid of Giza. Of course, he has it hidden behind his house, painted blue with white clouds on it as if that would hide it. Apparently, that trick works because no one through the whole movie ever notices it!

Gru, the villain who would be Great, decides to pull off the biggest heist in history by stealing the moon. He lacks funding for the project, and the Bank of Evil refuses to loan him the money, so he sets about to steal a shrink ray gun from Vector, using his mad scientist sidekick, refurbished computers, his minions, and three orphan girls from Miss Hattie's.

During the course of the plan, though, he finds himself loving the girls. This is not how it's supposed to go for him. His plan was to use them, then send them back to the orphanage. Loving the children changes him.
