Pity this isn't the Universal Hotel we are staying in next February.

Despicable Me Kids Suites
Experience the fun starting October 1st!
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando invites you to experience the world of Despicable Me in its newly-renovated kid’s suites. These rooms capture the excitement and playfulness of Gru’s Laboratory. As you enter through the vault door, your training as a future Minion begins with your favorite minion characters repelling from the ceiling and surrounding you on the walls in their non-stop antics. Sleep like Margo, Edith and Agnes in custom-designed missile beds with Minion-inspired bedding, complete with Gru’s scarf. Balancing the playfulness of the room, a pale blue interior creates a soothing backdrop with touches of the laboratory’s red accents to remind you that you are indeed in an unforgettable Minion adventure for your stay at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.

Yeah! Gru, the girls and the minions are back!

Not as good as the original, as they've recycled few old tricks, but the new characters (especially Lucy! it's basically like watching a cartoon version of Kristen Wiig!) work very well. I also did not find it as colourful as the original and the 3D was quite flat but it might just be a problem with the crappy screen at OWE!

All in all a very enjoyable flick!

I was so hoping Sky would surprise us with a preview of this, as they did preview the first one, but its looking very unlikely now.
