Universal Studios Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed its upcoming
2D and
3D combo pack editions of directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud's
Despicable Me 2, featuring the voices of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Benjamin Bratt. The two releases will be available for purchase on December 10th.
Arch-criminal Gru (voice of Steve Carell) and his minions return in this computer-animated comedy sequel. Now living a life of domestic bliss in suburbia with adopted daughters Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Elsie Fisher) and Edith (Dana Gaier), Gru's world is turned upside down when he finds himself abducted by agent Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) of the Anti-Villain League on the orders of boss Silas Ramsbottom (Steve Coogan). All is not what it seems, however, for with the world threatened by the new and dastardly super-villain known as Eduardo (Benjamin Bratt), it falls to the unique talents of Gru and his minions to step up to the plate and finally save the day.
