Trivia
Directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud wrote a language for the gibberish the minions speak throughout this movie. They called it "minion-ese". Each word the minions speak in this movie translates into an actual word.

Goofs
When Gru is laying down the rules for the girls after being adopted, the clock on the stove goes from 12:10 to 12:11 and back to 12:10 again.

Quotes
Young Gru: Mom, someday, I'm going to go to the moon.
Gru's Mom: I'm afraid you're too late, son. NASA isn't sending the monkeys anymore.

Crazy credits
Two minions take turns trying to see how far each one can stretch their arm out into the audience (in 3-D).

Alternate versions
When the movie aired on Freeform, a large portion of the spaceship carnival game was cut.
