* The sequel's rank in 2013? Second highest grossing film of 2013. Its rank worldwide with ''$970.8 million''? Oh, nothing special....the sequel just ranked fourth in the highest grossing animated films of all time! The sequel beat its original. Nothing can be more amazing than that, but the reviews were positive, just not as positive as the original.
** What's more? It made a little more than ''twelve times'' its budget, making it the most profitable film in the history of [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Studios]].
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams which Gru was dancing while planning to ask Lucy for a date. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM music video]] is also awesome where it is a 24 hour video of celebrities and various people dancing and singing with the song.
* The film has been nominated for two Academy Awards, one for "Best Original Song" (Pharrell Williams' "Happy") and the other for "Best Animated Feature Film." ''Awesome!''

* Ninja Edith. She plays Ping-pong with Nun-chucks! It's an easily missed scene when mutated Kevin attacks the house. Later, when Kevin is preparing to attack, Margo and Agnes are cowering in fear, but Edith is swinging her nunchucks even as she backs away, determined to go down fighting if it comes to it.



** At the same time, Margo keeping her cool and doing her best to get her younger sisters to safety in a situation where it would've been easy for anyone to panic, much less a preteen home alone with younger siblings.

** At the same time, Margo keeping her cool and doing her best to get her younger sisters to safety in a situation where it would've been easy for anyone to panic, much less a preteen home alone with younger siblings. Notably, when Evil!Kevin first breaks in, the ''first thing'' Margo does is throw Agnes behind her in a protective stance.


Added DiffLines:

* Early in the film, Dr. Nefario realizes that Gru's HeelFaceTurn is permanent; as an EvilGenius and MadScientist, he decides to take a new job, as he's still committed to taking over the world. As it turns out, the job is developing the Evil Minion serum, and he's largely OK with that...but then El Macho sends the Minions after Gru and the girls. Dr. Nefario, without a ''moment's'' hesitation, concocts an antidote to reverse the serum, gets to Gru's lab, and saves them JustInTime. He then lets go of his plans for global conquest--which were about to succeed--to mass-produce the antidote and undo all of El Macho's schemes. The mad doctor gave up EVERYTHING he ever wanted to protect his old boss and his daughters--there's very little more awesome than that.
-->'''Dr. Nefario''': I mean, I'm happy to create an evil army to destroy the world--but ''nobody messes with my family.''
** FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that Dr. Nefario must have created the antidote within the few ''hours'' between El Macho starting to launch his plan and sending Evil!Kevin after the girls. He likely didn't have it on hand already (as someone who's AlwaysChaoticEvil, he wouldn't have seen a need to undo the effects of the serum in any circumstance), so he had to work as fast as possible, and he still managed to succeed. For as eccentric and slow as he is, the man is truly a genius!

* Seeing Margo with her first heartbreak is sad, especially considering how much it looked liked Antonio was smitten with Margo. She's upset, but we don't see her cry over him or ask Gru what she did wrong. All this girl does is give Antonio a deadly glare before she leaves; next day comes and Margo looks like she's over Antonio and she is. It's a subtle CrowningMomentOfAwesome, but Margo's whole attitude after her first heartbreak is nothing short of inspiring. She teaches everyone that even though a first heartbreak can hurt, that doesn't mean to whine over it. Margo did something in minutes that most people couldn't do: She moved on.
