You know DreamWorks and Pixar and the like, but now Universal and Illumination Entertainment are joining the animation fray with Despicable Me, their tale of a loveable supervillain (really) who's busy trying to steal the moon when three adorable little orphans decide to make him their dad. And here's a clip from the film to give you a taste of what's in store.

In this clip, our (anti-)hero Gru (Steve Carell) is attempting to steal back a shrink ray from his nemesis Vector (Jason Segel). Gru and his cute little yellow Minions are escaping through air ducts in Vector's near-impregnable mansion (which, in a masterpiece of interior design, has a shark tank under the living room floor) when, well, things go a little Pete Tong.

The film also stars voice performances from Will Arnett, Russell Brand, Danny McBride, Kristen Wiig and Julie Andrews, and it's all directed by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. See it on October 15, and resolve to buy a cuddly minion / genetically engineer your own about five minutes later.
