In Italian cinemas from 24 August, Despicable Me 3

Despicable Me 3 It is the last (at the moment) chapter of the successful animation saga began in 2010 with Despicable Me, which was followed Despicable Me 2 (2013) e lo spin-off Minions (2015). Even during this last chapter, the direction was entrusted to the French Pierre Coffin – his, Moreover, the task of doubling the cute minions – while his right arm was replaced by Chris Renaud Kyle Balda.

After more than four years since the last chapter, find, as always, the former very bad Crane, happily married to Lucy nice spy and Dad made of the three orphans - Margot, Edith and Agnes - adopted in the first film. The head of the League Anti Villains, Silas Caprachiappa, He is now retired and the new director will not take long to fire, unceremoniously, Cranes and Lucy, after both failed their last mission, which was to capture a new, dangerous criminal: Balthasar Bratt, Former child prodigy 80 years intent on razing Hollywood, that, years later, It seems to have completely forgotten. The news, But, not end there: now jobless, Cranes receives, one day, an unexpected letter informing him about the existence of his twin brother - Dru - determined to know him and to renew its relationship. What will bring the birth of this new relationship?

Rich in ideas the opening words, well behind other films - if not, in some ways, even more interesting - the rest of the film, Despicable Me 3, fortunate than other sagas of animation, as she has gone ahead with chapters, They lost bite - as, eg, saga Madagascar or Kung fu Panda - it ranks as a product full of interesting reflections on the past, on this, the consumer society and, not least, Hollywood and the world of cinema and the star system in general.

About that, the figure of the bad Balthasar Bratt is emblematic: Former child prodigy, lover of chewing gum - become, afterwards, its most terrible weapon - and Michael Jackson, which perfectly mimics the look and movements, the criminal is going to represent a past that seems forgotten by a "throwaway society", The fast-food company, the speed date and everything that does not require too much time and dedication and can easily be replaced each time as something "new". And Hollywood itself, in this case, does not come out completely clean, as creator of the ruin of the same Bratt, as well as many other celebrities of the past.

In light of these reflections, But, there is something, Although he was born in our days, It seems to be intended, one way or another, to "make history"? It seems so. And it is the minions lucky workhorse of the whole saga, that - small, yellow and hilarious, thought of as a grade school class and rowdy all-male pupils – since the first Despicable Me They have been able to win young and old, to the point of becoming the true icons, prompting Universal to produce a spin-off dedicated to them even before finishing the saga. Not to mention that the Illumination Mac Guff, where the funny yellow creatures have seen the light, from big unknown what was before, Now it has become thanks to them one of the most acclaimed animation studios. Moreover, how not to become attached and have fun with these cute characters?

At the end of the vision of Despicable Me 3, we can not say for certain whether or not this is the last chapter of the saga, since the final was deliberately left hanging. Yet we hope only that the Universal itself always find the right key to carry on the story of Gru, the minions, girls and to all the characters to which we are all loyal.
