First Trailer for Universal's Despicable Me

We're still a year out, but a 2 minute and 31 second trailer for Universal Pictures' animated Despicable Me has already been released featuring a full scene from the film. The film opens July 9, 2010 and is voiced by Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Russell Brand, Jemaine Clement, Jack McBrayer and Julie Andrews. This is how the studios describes the pic:

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal's new 3-D CGI feature, "Despicable Me."

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

I really love the list of celebrity voices at the end of the trailer, along with the 5+ second "look what else this guy directed" frame. That usually means that the Studio knows this isn't that great of a movie, but lets us know that if all these comedians are in it, then it must be good... even though we all know that they did it for the paycheck and the ease of doing voiceover work!

THis looks reeeallly good....but I donr think its a children's film...at least reading the story...it doesnt sound like one....it kinda seems like they took Horton Hears a Who and fused it with Family Guy if that makes any sense.....
