The new movie "Despicable Me" is going to be directed at children for sure, but the parents in the theater are likely to be pleasantly surprised at the bright colors and hilarious comedy of "Despicable Me" which premieres on July 9, 2010.
If you have not seen the trailers yet for "Despicable Me," you can find them all over the internet. First, start at the official Web site of despicable.me where you will find trailers as well as fun games. You can also find the trailers at reelzchannel.com.
This summer blockbuster movie has plenty of stars. Imagine funny-man Steve Carell as the main villainous fiend named Gru. Then throw in comedy actors Jason Segel, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig and Danny McBride and you can bet all the adults in the theater will enjoy themselves as the kids find humor onscreen. You can find out more about the film at imdb.com.
Now "Despicable Me" is unlikely to be similar to other animated movies because so much of the film is about a villainous man who is devious and devilish. Still, this type of bad guy is often the most fun to watch, for kids and parents alike.
The little ladies in the movie theater will likely love the three girl characters in the movie: Margo, Edith and Agnes. Portrayed in voice by Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher respectively, according to IMDb.com, these characters will likely be loved and adored by little girls all over the country. Of course Mr. Gru and those tiny little minions will also be popular toys and dolls.
What about buying the toys and dolls based on the movie "Despicable Me"? Right now there are view items available for sale. You can get the "Despicable Me" t-shirts over at theTshop.com. Also, the "Despicable Me" Wii Nintendo game is listed at Amazon.com. Not enough for you?

What about "Despicable Me" costumes and outfits for Halloween 2010? Right now there are no costumes available for sale, but you can bet there will be plenty of cool "Despicable Me" Halloween costumes after the movie is a smash hit this summer.
If you want to make your own "Despicable Me" Halloween costume for your little boy or girl, check out the film stills at this Web page. You can get a good look at the main characters in the movie and which home-made costume will work best for you.
One costume likely to be super-popular this year is that of the "Despicable Me" minion, the small yellow characters with thick goggles and blue overall jeans. When Halloween gets closer, make sure you type in the phrase Despicable Me Minion into the search boxes at amazon.com, buy.com and buycostumes.com.
Have fun at the theater when you and your family watch the new movie "Despicable Me."
