A chaotic troublemaker softened by the family that decides to keep him
The difference: Sadder underneath — real grief and loneliness sit beneath the mayhem

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: Easier on the romance than Despicable Me 2

An unconventional father-child bond tested by big, silly adventure
The difference: Time-travel history gags — brainier setup, less anarchic fun

Adoption, an oddball family and a villain who's half punchline
The difference: More sentimental and scattershot — the heart outruns the jokes

A supervillain discovering he would rather be somebody's good guy
The difference: More superhero satire than family — the laughs skew grown-up

Minion nonsense turned loose at full volume, gleeful and unbothered
The difference: Pure gag delivery — no adoptive-dad tenderness holding it together

A distracted genius, runaway inventions and slapstick mayhem
The difference: Creaky live-action Disney — the effects date it badly

An unlikely duo bumbling into found family while foiling a menace
The difference: Softer and simpler — no minion chaos, gentler laughs

A comfort-food sequel about duty, family and unexpected romance
The difference: Live-action tween royalty — no gadgets, no villainy to foil

The same mix in both: warmth, then comfort
The difference: Trades the ideas of Despicable Me 2 for an angle of its own

Comedy built on romance, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Despicable Me 2 does

Animation with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
