Genre:
Animation · Comedy · Family · Adventure

Story Overview:
Gru has officially traded supervillain schemes for family life and Anti-Villain League missions — but old habits are hard to break. When a mysterious new mastermind begins stealing the world’s most ridiculous (and harmless) landmarks, the AVL suspects someone with a flair for dramatic chaos.

Meanwhile, Margo prepares for college, Edith seeks bigger thrills, and Agnes becomes obsessed with proving unicorns might be real. Lucy tries to keep everything balanced — including the Minions, who accidentally launch their own “secret mission” involving experimental gadgets and a suspiciously musical doomsday device.

As clues point toward a villain who idolizes Gru’s early criminal career, Gru faces a dilemma: his past may have inspired someone far worse.

To stop a plan that could turn the world into one giant prank, Gru must rediscover what truly defines him — not as a villain, but as a father.

Because the greatest mastermind plan… is family.
