- Despicable Me uses freelance storyboard artists. That's pretty awesome actually! It seems unique (mostly because I've never heard of another situation like this), and I almost understand why they do this. They want to incorporate a lot of talented ideas into the melting pot for the best results (and it seems almost more cost effective, but I'm not 100% on that). It's a gamble, but sometimes it greatly pays off in the long run.
- There was the potential for a very morbid "joke" about Gru killing his neighbor's dog, but it was quickly scrapped when it killed the humorous mood that the animators were trying to establish.
- The best way to cut down on costs is for everyone to get their heads in the game and finish the movie as efficiently as possible. 2-2.5 years is considerably better than 8-10 years of work, and a lot less costly.

- I thought this was a very interesting article, considering that I am very familiar with the movies in question. They were great films and I'm glad to have a bit more insight on one of the greatest film series ever.
- I agree with the change of the Minions. Hulking ogres are much less entertaining than little yellow beans that practically worship Gru like a god.Gosh I love those little guys! >w<
Why was the movie based on a villain instead of a hero? Who came up with this brilliant idea? I always enjoy movies that are from a villain's POV (and I understand that the movie wouldn't have been able to progress as it did unless he turned good, so I shall forgive this... for now)
