Despicable Me “Banana” Mini Movie Preview

I was watching some Christmas Special on television this week when they showed the Despicable Me Mini Movie Preview of “Banana”. At first we were like, hmm, ok not so funny, and then it happened,  the slow motion low pitched “BANANA” and chaos broke loose.  It was great!

We could not stop laughing for at least 5 minutes, both of us. Who knows what the rest of our neighborhood thought. My boys have seen the Despicable Me movie, but this would be a great DVD for us to pick up to watch as a family since I have not yet seen it. You can check out the preview below and let me know if you found it as funny as we did.

SYNOPSIS

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden deep beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by an army of tireless, little yellow Minions, we discover Gru (Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon. Yes, the moon!

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

One of the world’s greatest super-villains has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
