History Trivia / DespicableMe3

* PlayingAgainstType: Let's just say that Trey Parker is one of the [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark last]] [[Theatre/TheBookOfMormon people]] you'd expect to voice a character in a family movie. It's also his first role since ''Film/BASEketball'' in a project that he, himself, did not conceive. Trey Parker even said in an interview he was flattered they thought of him for the role, since it's the first time anyone has asked him to be in this sort of film.

** Creator/IdinaMenzel was considered to voice Valerie Da Vinci.
** At one point, Bratt was meant to be TheDragon [[KnightOfCerebus to a more serious villain]], but the writers and studio found the original villain to be too humorless and boring, and finally decided to make Bratt the BigBad after seeing the humorous character design.
** Trey Parker revealed that Bratt was going to sing "Karma Chameleon" at one point in the film, though the scene was dropped.
** Lucy's original subplot would have involved her fighting crime in Freedonia, though it was later decided to have her become more involved with the girls after the writers felt that the crimefighting plot was too disconnected to the rest of the story. At one point, she was going to hunt a purse-snatcher through the cheese festival in a chase scene involving a [[HurricaneOfPuns lot of cheese puns]].
