The DESPICABLE ME 2 Minions Invade Great Day Live In Louisville Ahead Of Despicablimp At Kentucky Derby

Here’s a look at what happened earlier today when one of Gru’s minions visited Great Day Live in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Despicablimp made its first appearance over the Nickelodeon 2013 Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on March 23. The gigantic Minion then headed to Telemundo’s Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, FL on April 25 and then up to Louisville. For those in the area, be on the lookout for the enormous Despicablimp at the Kentucky Derby, Louisville, KY this Saturday, May 4. The inflatable minion will eventually make it’s way to the DESPICABLE ME 2 World Premiere, in Hollywood, CA on June 22nd.
