Carbon Costume

These purple, furrier versions of minions make their debut in Despicable Me 2. Despite their creepy appearance, there’s something that’s very familiar about them.

In Despicable Me, Gru is a super-villian who exploits three little girls he adopted in his quest to one up his competitor, Vector. While trying to balance criminal activities with ballet lessons, he soon learns there’s more to life than world domination.

Lucy Wilde is an agent of the Anti-Villain League who persuades Gru (i.e. uses her Lipstick Tazer on him) to assist them in fighting a new super villain in Despicable Me 2.

Dr. Nefario is Gru’s gadget man. He’s the evil mastermind behind inventions such as the Freeze Ray and Big Blaster Cannon but only a true genius could come up with the Fart Gun and Boogie Bots.

Edith is at first skeptical of Gru’s intentions but warms up to him after he makes her pancakes in the shape of dead bodies. Though Edith is a tomboy, she’s never seen without her pink hat on.

Agnes is the youngest of the three girls adopted by Gru in Despicable Me. It is her unconditional love for Gru that begins to soften his tough personality. She loves cookies, ballet, unicorns and fluffy things. She especially loves fluffy unicorns – so much so that she might die!

As the oldest of the girls adopted by Gru, Margo is very protective of her younger sisters. She is extremely distrustful of Gru and can see right through his lies about his “dog” and many diminutive sized “cousins”.
