The franchise has always had odd, spindly-looking character design, but the overall image rendering is bright and detailed. There’s also an expanding-gum that Bratt chews and when he throws it at a target, it expands to render everything around it seized in a bubble. That continues here, with a Dru’s suped-up vehicle that briefly tempts Gru back into the world of criminality. With his scarf and huge mansion, he looks like he’s a 1%-er, which might’ve made for some interesting social comment.īy now, the Illumination team have created a unique world of complex gadgets, weaponry and vehicles to fill out the Despicable Me universe. And he’s vaguely gay, which is just awkward. So he lands somewhere in the middle and if anyone other than Carell voiced him, it’d be more problematic, but Carell squeezes every bit of crazy he can out of the character. ![]() He’s not in direct contrast to Gru (except for his flowing locks of blonde hair), so there’s not a whole lot of conflict, he’s mousy, but not averse to trying super-villainy, and he’s not completely incompetent, but gets muddies up plans toward the end with slapstick shenanigans. The character of Dru is more complicated. It’s interesting to hear Parker’s voice reined in (content-wise) for this rated PG film, but his manic intensity is in tact and the movie is high-energy fun when Bratt’s on screen. He dresses ‘80s, listens to ‘80s music and would take on anyone in a dance fight to the likes of “Into the Groove” or Michael Jackson’s “Bad” and he has his sights on getting revenge on the TinselTown that canceled him. Evil Bratt was eventually canceled and Balthazar is still fuming over it, even as he’s reached his bald-patch phase. I suppose that makes sense, however, ‘cause South Park never goes to outside sources for voice talent, so why job out your skills the other direction? But it turns out Bratt is one of the film’s best assets, a bitter former child actor of the ‘80s who starred in a show called Evil Bratt, who even comes with a stupid catch phrase. Mucking things up for everyone is a new super-villain, Balthazar Bratt, voiced, in what I find hard to believe is the first gig he’s taken outside of the South Park universe, Trey Parker. Meanwhile, Lucy (Kristen Wiig) is learning how to be a mother to Dru’s adopted girls, Margo, Edith and, of course, the adorable Agnes, who is sure she’s found a way to meet a real, live unicorn (in what amounts to the least-developed story angle of the film). ![]() The extent of Dru’s capabilities, however, seems to be stealing a lollipop from a street vendor. Turns out that while Gru has turned into a nice guy, Dru still wants to follow in their father’s footsteps and become an evil lawbreaker. More Steve Carell comes in the form of him voicing not only supervillain-turned-hero Gru, but also his long, lost twin brother, Dru. Here, they do their weird shit in an ancillary role, which means more Steve Carell. I’ve admitted on this website in the past that I don’t get the Minions. Overall, there’s a distinct lessening of the Minions’ presence in Despicable Me 3. This was how Dru and Gru finally met when Gru with his family decided to visit Freedonia to meet Dru.LESS MINIONS = MORE CARELL = BETTER MOVIE This prompts Gru to find out from his mother about the existence of his twin brother he never knew he had. ![]() In Despicable Me 3, Dru decides to contact his brother Felonious Gru after his father passes away. He has a tendency to be uncooperative, disobedient, and behave childishly. He easily panics and overreacts when he’s scared. ![]() Dru by nature is a kind-hearted, energetic individual. However, he was totally unhappy with Dru’s total lack of talent and disposition for being a villain due to his overall clumsiness. Dru’s father, Robert, was a top-notch supervillain and started a pig-farming business as a cover for his nefarious mainstream dirty businesses. When twin brothers, Dru and Gru, parents divorced, each took one child and went their separate ways.
