Cute DESPICABLE ME 2 Minions Clips; Despicablimp On It’s Way To Hollywood Premiere

Super-villain Gru ( Steve Carell ), his adorable girls, and the hilarious Minions star in these new clips from DESPICABLE ME 2.

Universal Pictures announced today that it has launched a search for missing Minions in support of Universal and Illumination Entertainment’s upcoming 3D-CG comedy adventure, DESPICABLE ME 2.

Gru’s loyal yellow, gibberish-speaking Minions love causing mischief and mayhem almost as much as they love bananas.  They are easily distracted and can be unpredictable, curious and subversively sweet.  They are extremely competitive with each other.  This can lead to sudden slap fights, but if someone from the outside tries to harm them or Gru’s family, they become fiercely protective.  Now, someone or something has been making them vanish…

By searching for the Minions across the NBCUniversal family of websites—beginning today and lasting until June 30—fans may win any number of despicable prizes.  Every day, a new missing Minion will be revealed at www.missingminions.com, along with the NBCUniversal partner website where he may be found.  Audiences are asked to visit the specific partner site and search for the missing Minion.  To rescue him and enter the drawing for the grand prize, all they must do is click!

For each Minion found, registered users will receive an entry into a grand-prize sweepstakes for a trip for four to Universal Orlando Resort.  Daily instant-win prizes of Fandango Movie Cash—good for tickets to see Despicable Me 2 in theaters—are also available for lucky fans with keen eyes.

More than 21 NBCUniversal sites are participating in the three-week promotion. Visit www.missingminions.com to find out more and start the search for a missing Minion today

Have you seen a gigantic Minion in the skies? Travelling approximately 20,000 miles, crisscrossing the country three times over the course of its six-month journey and having made multiple stops across the continental U.S., the Despicablimp is making it’s way west to the DESPICABLE ME 2 World Premiere in Hollywood, CA on June 22.

At last report they were leaving Pecos, Texas and on the way to Deming, New Mexico.

The Despicablimp may be tracked in real-time via GPS at the Despicablimp Command Center (www.despicablimp.com).

Fans can tweet sightings of the blimp or post photos to Instagram or Flickr using #despicablimp (twitter: https://twitter.com/despicablimp) to see it featured on the site, and participate in weekly prize giveaways.

Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team create an all-new comedy adventure with DESPICABLE ME 2.
