Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Despicable Me On DVD & Blu-ray™ December 14th! (Prize Pack Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Despicable Me
Vying for the title of "World's Greatest Villain", Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) – along with his hilarious crew of mischievous minions – plots to pull off the craziest crime of the century: steal the moon! But when Gru enlists the help of three little girls, they see something in him nobody else has ever seen: the perfect dad. From executive producer Chris Meledandri (Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!, Ice Age, Ice Age: The Meltdown), and featuring the voices of an all-star comedic cast, including Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove and Julie Andrews, Despicable Me is "rousingly funny, heartfelt and imaginative" (Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine).

Available on DVD & Blu-ray™ December 14, 2010!
(ORIGINAL MOVIE TRAILER ABOVE- COMING TO DVD & Blu-ray DECEMBER 14,2010 !)

For each activity completed, players are rewarded with their very own, ever-expanding personal army of online Minions. As the total number of Minions grows, so does the player's chances of winning weekly and monthly prizes. The prizes also increase in value with each new Minion population benchmark level reached, escalating to as many as a whopping 100 $50 gift cards every week.

In addition, iPhone-equipped players can participate in a special "Minion Photo Madness" event, a series of nationwide photographic missions, using a new Augmented Reality iPhone app available in mid-November.
