Favorito 4 — Mi Villano

Is it the best in the series? No. Despicable Me 1 still holds that crown. But is it a worthy return to form? Absolutely. After nearly a decade without a main-series sequel, it’s wonderful to see Gru, the girls, Lucy, and those little yellow troublemakers back on the big screen.

Twelve years ago, we met a supervillain with a pointy nose, a thick accent, and a heart the size of a shriveled pea. Fast forward to 2024, and that same "villain" is now a certified family man, an Anti-Villain League agent, and—believe it or not—a dad again. Mi Villano Favorito 4

But the real curveball? Gru and Lucy have a new baby: Gru Jr. And this toddler has inherited his father’s talent for mischief but none of his respect. Little Gru Jr. loathes his dad. Watching the world’s former greatest villain get headbutted, slimed, and ignored by a diaper-wearing mini-him is comedy gold. You didn’t think we’d forget the yellow chaos potatoes, did you?

However, once the family settles into the suburbs, the movie finds its rhythm. But is it a worthy return to form

To protect them, the AVL forces the family into the witness protection program in the sleepy suburb of Mayflower. This means new identities, boring neighbors, and—most terrifying of all for Gru—P.T.A. meetings.
