Despicable Me

I never liked animated movies - until Toy Story. All of a sudden technology made animation lifelike and watchable. Since then I've become partial to flicks like Shrek, Cars and Up. Which brings me to Despicable Me - out September 9 in Australia. It's brilliant.

Steve Carell voices Gru - a mad inventor/villain who actually has a heart of gold underneath his tough exterior. He's on a mission to steal the moon but he has a few obstacles to overcome...

It's a must see for all ages - because like so many animated movies it works on two levels.

And of course 3D makes the world onscreen that much more believable.
