Sex & Nudity

  • The shadowed outline of a man is seen and it is implied that he is nude as he quickly places his hands over his groin (no nudity is visible).
  • A man thrusts his hips in a suggestive fashion while dancing by himself.
  • Several girls are shown a black and white photo of a baby boy's bare buttocks.
  • We see what appear to be photocopies of the minion's bare buttocks after seeing one of the creatures sitting on top of a copy machine with his overalls around his ankles.
  • A man's boxer shorts are visible after his pants are accidentally pulled off, and he walks around nonchalantly in his boxer shorts.

Violence & Gore

  • A man flying a spaceship uses a jolt of electricity to knock another man off the windshield of a spaceship; the man falls to the ground and then hits a power line and is electrocuted but is later seen unharmed.
  • A group of girls leap from one spaceship to another, in mid-air, the last of the girls falls and catches onto a wire, the wire snaps but she is grabbed out of the air moments before she falls to the ground.
  • A dog-like creature bares its large fangs at a man and bites his arm: the dog dangles from his arm, its jaws clenched.
  • A young boy runs up a multiple-story-high ramp, falls off, landing on a giant inflatable pyramid, bounces, flies through the air, and then lands on top of a man, knocking him to the ground.
  • A giant moon rolls across a room and smashes a man against a chair and against a doorway, and later is seen exploding in the distance (the man is unharmed).
  • Two ships chase one another through the air, one of the ships opens fire with about two dozen missiles, and the second ship avoids all of the explosions and fires a large gun that rapidly shrinks the first ship (no one is injured).
  • A man kidnaps three girls and, as the girls are crying, tells another man that he will never get the children back.
  • A man is smashed against the wall, chased by a shark which bites him.
  • A man is threatened with a series of missiles is also fired at the man (he is struck by the last of the sequence and is seen in a hole in the ground with his face covered in soot).
  • Two girls and a man have a look of shock on their faces when a red liquid pours out of a nail-lined coffin after a girl slams herself inside; moments later the coffin opens and the girl shows that it was due to a juice box leaking;
  • A man drives a large truck erratically, crashes into a line of cars while trying to park and knocks a man sitting on a guardrail off the side of a cliff.
  • On multiple occasions people are seen being shot with a "freeze-ray" that temporarily turns them into giant icicles, including one time when a young girl fires the freeze-ray at a man, turning him into a block of ice, except for his head and a small portion of his backside.
  • Tanks are seen surrounding the Great Wall of China, a bird flies off screen and the tanks are heard firing and feathers are seen flying through the air.
  • As a man attempts to spy on another man in a house, and boxing gloves are deployed, which hit the man in the stomach and face.

Profanity

  • One use of "Oh God, I think I changed" in a song, and when Gru says Good Luck, Little Gorls, you can mishear a faint voice saying oh hell no, when it is just screaming in terror.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • In the beginning of the movie, we see a man guarding a giant statue of a beer can.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • This film is a little bit more crude than most computer animated films.
  • The scene where the girls are sent away/back to Miss Hattie's can be emotional. Sad music plays After Dr Nefario Contacted her for Distracting Gru of his Mission to Stealing the Moon.
  • A man is in a plane when it is shot by a shrink ray. It then starts shrinking. The man is fine but the scene may affect claustrophobic viewers.
  • This is a pretty mild-mannered movie, not much negative/intense content.
  • When Gru finds out that the girls have been kidnapped by a villain, the movie starts getting intense from there.
  • A lot of action sequences involving high-tech weapons that blast things to smithereens, as well as some scenes that imply injury -- although no one is ever killed or seriously injured.
  • Orphanages are portrayed in a very negative light. The orphans were put in a "box of shame" at their orphanage.
  • The roller Coster ride might be scary to some. (But still fun.)
  • The scene were the shark tries to break though the tank in order to get Gru and the minions could be scary to kids or people who have a fear of sharks.

Violence & Gore

  • Children are put into a "box of shame" for punishment and verbally chastised.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Edith wanders into an Iron Maiden trap, which slams closed with her in it. The others seem panicked, and we see what appears to be blood pouring out of the bottom of the iron maiden. It is revealed that Edith is fine and the 'blood' was fruit juice.
  • There is a chase scene near the end of the film which involves Gru chasing Vector for kidnapping the girls. This may be intense because the girls lives are endangered.
