Despicable Me 3
Story
Following the previous film, Gru is now an agent for the Anti-Villain League (AVL) and he and his wife Lucy are sent to foil the plans of Balthazar Bratt. Gru manages to stop Bratt from stealing a very expensive diamond, but is unable to capture him. As a result of constantly failing to capture Bratt, Gru and Lucy are fired from the AVL by its mean new director Valerie Da Vinci, following the retirement of Silas Ramsbottom.
Gru and Lucy reluctantly tell their children, Margo, Edith, and Agnes of their termination, but assure them they will find new jobs someday. Most of Gru's Minions leave Gru when he refuses to return to villainy despite losing his job. Meanwhile, Lucy struggles to adapt in her new role as the children's new mom. The next morning, the family is approached by Fritz, the butler of Dru, who lives in a distant country named Freedonia and longs to meet him. Gru confronts his mother who reveals they agreed to keep one child each. The family decides to meet Dru and they are surprised at his immense wealth which Fritz attributes to their pig farm business. Meanwhile, the Minions are arrested for trespassing at a talent show set, while Bratt manages to steal the diamond once again, intending to use it to power a giant robot he constructed so he can destroy Hollywood as revenge for the cancellation of his show.
While Lucy takes the children around Freedonia, Dru reveals to Gru their father was a legendary supervillain. As Dru was constantly dismissed by their father as a disgrace, he turned to his brother to teach him how to be a villain. When Gru refuses to revert to his old ways, Dru brings him on a joyride around Freedonia in their father's highly technological car where the siblings bond. Meanwhile, Lucy tries to balance her tasks as a mom which she exhibits after turning away a young boy named Niko who had fallen for Margo in the midst of a traditional cheese festival, while Edith and Agnes stumble into a local tavern and learn from the bartender a mythical unicorn lurks in the nearby forest. Fatherly, Gru attempts to convince Agnes that unicorns are imaginary, but decides not to on account of her anticipation. The next day, Agnes and Edith set out into the woods to track the mythical horse, only to find a one-horned goat whom Agnes dubs "Lucky" and takes to her heart. Meanwhile, the Minions exert control among the prisoners at their jail, but their longing for Gru motivates them to escape the prison.
Dru convinces Gru to steal the diamond, with Gru secretly intending to bring it to the AVL in order for Da Vinci to reinstate his job. Despite several setbacks, they manage to retrieve the diamond, and are rescued by Lucy who had followed them earlier after a narrow escape. After finding out Gru's true motives, Dru confronts his brother on why he lied to him, and the latter insults him and decides to leave Dru's mansion. Bratt infiltrates Dru's mansion by disguising as Lucy, kidnaps the children, and once again acquires the diamond which leads the three to resolve their differences and pursue him.
With his robot powered, Bratt terrorizes Hollywood just as planned. Lucy saves the children while Gru and Dru weaken Bratt's robot with the weapons of their father's car. Gru is knocked unconscious when the car is destroyed and Dru destroys the robot's core from the inside when Bratt threatens to kill Gru. When Gru recovers, he battles Bratt in a dance fight and uses it as a distraction to grab his keytar, which ends in Gru trapping Bratt in his own gum and blasting him away, later to be arrested. Having rendezvoused with Gru, the Minions manage to destroy the gum already covering the city, and Gru and Dru reunite.
Soon afterward, Gru and Lucy are reinstated in the AVL and the newly united family celebrate in Gru's home. Lucy is acknowledged by the children as their mother; Dru steals Gru's ship, accompanied by the Minions. Gru and Lucy decide to give them a five-minute head-start before engaging pursuit.
