It’s an animation bonanza today. After discussing our favorite animated families tied to the upcoming release of The Croods, Universal has us switching gears by dropping the latest trailer for this summer’s Despicable Me 2
 
The clip accomplishes a ton, re-introducing the semi-evil Gru (Steve Carell) and establishing him as an inventive criminal and caring father. (Trust me, it works in context.) But before we get too comfortable, the trailer also ushers in rival criminals hoping to take Gru down.
 
The trailer ran on Apple’s page. We have it here for you below. Get ready to plunge to the bottom of the ocean. Despicable Me 2 will be in theaters on July 3.
