Leaping from the silver screen to Universal Studios Hollywood, four Minions and Dru, Gru’s long-lost twin brother, have made their way to the Entertainment Capital of L.A. this summer.
Despicable Me 3 Characters in the Park
Known as the Tourist Minions, Dave and Jerry from Despicable Me 3 step out in full tourist regalia—sporting fanny packs, oversized sunglasses, floppy hats and cameras. They are accompanied by two new Jail Minions—who join Minion Mel in Despicable Me 3 to revolt and make a go of it on their own—sporting familiar black-and-white striped jailbird uniforms.
The effortlessly charming Dru, Gru’s long-lost twin brother, also joins the cast of walkabout theme park characters. Wealthy, larger than life, and with a full head of flowing blond hair, Dru is Gru’s opposite in every way. Now, he’s ready to charm guests from around the world.
Despicable Me 3 Interactive Play Zone
Inspired by Illumination and Universal Pictures’ global blockbuster Despicable Me franchise, “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem,” an original 3D Ultra-HD adventure, and “Super Silly Fun Land,” an imaginative and interactive play zone, are featured attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood. Voiced by the film series’ stars, the fully-immersive motion-simulator ride features the beloved cast of characters that have resonated with audiences across the globe: super-villain Gru (Steve Carell), his adorable girls Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Elsie Fisher), and an army of unpredictable Minions.
“Super Silly Fun Land,” an elaborate play zone unique to Universal Studios Hollywood, sits adjacent to “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.” The colorfully themed, interactive Minion-inspired outdoor attraction is a literal interpretation of the seaside carnival from the original Despicable Me film, designed to entertain guests of all ages with more than 80 different water-play features. As well, a Minion-themed ride, “Silly Swirly Fun Ride,” soars and spins guests around for a 360-degree view of “Super Silly Fun Land”—aboard a fleet of uniquely styled ride vehicles.
