The first movie Despicable Me (2010) not only was a very good movie and was successful, but it was also the first animated movie from the animation studio Illumination that got it to be as well-known as it is today; the sequel Despicable Me 2 (2013) that came out three years later after the first was a very good and entertaining follow-up. The sequel Despicable Me 2 (2013) was funny and entertaining to watch with well-done animation, great voice acting, effective emotional moments, and fun action involving Gru, Lucy, and the minions; there is a little side plot going on at the same time as the main plot, but it was funny enough to be fine for the movie, with the minions obviously being for the kids and bringing the childish humor to the film.
Steve Carell still does a wonderful job voicing Gru making the character a funny and likable character, with him being recruited into the Anti Villain League and him working with AVL agent Lucy when looking for a certain serum used in a plot from another villain; I like how Gru takes on the role of being an agent for a secret team while taking care of his three daughters, and the three girls Margo, Edith, and Agnes voiced again by Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Fisher who are all funny and there is some kind of side plot going on with Agnes, but they are still likable and entertaining with Gru being a protective parent at times. Gru's new partner Lucy voiced by Russell Kristen Wiig was a funny character and I liked seeing her and Gru work together and build chemistry with one another when they are going on certain missions to find a serum the agency is looking for, and how they can seem like opposites by the way they act; also, at the same time Gru's minions mysteriously disappear because of a plan being put together from the actual main villain, which can be funny, and the minions themselves can be funny despite being there for immature childish humor.
The main villain that Gru tries to prove to the agency that he is still around, which is big reveal on who it is, so no spoilers but I will say he is voiced well by Benjamin Bratt; he is a funny, who does use and steal Gru's minions for a certain plan he has been working on for years, while also just trying to have Gru join him because of the last movie. The 3D animation is well-done, the minions are funny in the scenes they are in, and the action scenes are fun to watch; the look of Gru's lab and gadgets are cool along with the look of the AVL tech and headquarters, but also that the weapons used are cool when used on people; the movie does go more into a spy movie, and I liked that direction it was heading. Also, there are some songs by Pharrell Williams that are nice to listen to, along with there being quite a few heartfelt moments between Gru and the three girls or Gru and Lucy when Gru is being a protective father and building a relationship with Lucy.
The sequel Despicable Me 2 (2013) is as enjoyable and entertaining to watch as the first, because it has well-done 3D animation, quite a few funny moments and memorable lines of dialogue, and incredibly good voice acting; Illumination still did an excellent job with this movie, though it is not a perfect animated movie, it is still fun to watch for both animation fans and families. This movie is worth watching and rewatching like the first, with this being a good sequel to a movie that got this animation studio started; a great follow-up to a great animated movie that I recommend.
