The KSB Boys, as they'd be called if they had a YouTube channel, are always getting into wacky hijinks and while they aren't deliberately sabotaging Gru, it's difficult to see why he keeps them around besides their comedic value. At least, as much fun as Minions can be, I guess. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are the three main Minions, but not because they are particularly competent or even that eager to impress, but because they are the most fun to watch. Anyway, Jessie, James, and Meowth are clearly the Kevin, Stuart, and Bob of this metaphor. Minions, but worse - which is impressive as Minions might be the worst thing ever. I guess Butch and Cassidy are like the Santa's Elves in Rise of the Guardians. Remember when they tried to make Butch and Cassidy a thing? Losers. While it seems there are an endless number of Despicable Me Minions, there are a total of 899 Minions serving Gru.While the Grunts are the generic Minions in the background, when anyone says Team Rocket, only three names come to mind: Jessie, James, and Meowth.This is the first movie which Illumination Entertainment has released in a 2:35:1 widescreen aspect ratio.Actor Alan Tudyk was initially considered to voice the part of Balthazar Bratt.Minion Bob has two differently coloured eyes: this is a rare condition which is known as heterochromia iridum.Agnes is now voiced by Nev Scharrel because Elsie Fisher, who voiced Agnes in the first two Despicable Me movies, is too old for the part.He is now employed by the Anti-Villain League.

Dru is the flashiest, slickest and almost one of the funniest Despicable Me characters to date, except for the Despicable Me Minions, of course. Okay, so the brothers look alike, but that's where the similarity ends. Except for the fact that Dru has shiny, golden locks, a crazy collection of expensive, imported cars and a fabulously cool house.
