See 10 New Images from DESPICABLE ME 2

I can hardly retain my excitement over this movie. Like, I anticipate it more than any person over the age of 12 should. But I am so here for DESPICABLE ME 2.

If you don't remember the wickedly charming 2010 film, starring Steve Carrell as a reluctantly lovable ogre who takes in a couple of wily kids, here's a reminder:

That gif never gets old. Ever. Gru (Carrell) returns for another round of shenanigans with youngsters in the sequel. More on the upcoming film after the jump (from Collider):

Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s worldwide blockbuster, Despicable Me, delighted audiences around the globe in 2010, grossing more than $540 million and becoming the 10th-biggest animated motion picture in U.S. history. In Summer 2013, get ready for more minion madness in Despicable Me 2. Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team create an all-new comedy animated adventure featuring the return of Gru (Steve Carell), the girls, the unpredictably hilarious minions…and a host of new and outrageously funny characters.

The all-star cast, including Keon Jeong, Kristen Wiig, Russell Brand, return to round out the rest of the wild characters in the movie. The precocious little kids, played by Miranda Cosgrove, Elside Fisher, and Dana Gaier also reprise their roles. Despicable Me directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud also came back for the project, as did writers Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.

Two new faces to the franchise are "Saturday Night Live" comedienne Nasim Pedrad and Benjamin Bratt, who provide the voices of Jillian and Eduardo. 

And who could forget the little yellow thingamabobs affectionately known as troublemakers the minions?

Universal Pictures just released a batch of images from the movie to hold you over until it releases in theaters. Check 'em out:

DESPICABLE ME 2 heads to theaters July 3rd. Who's with me?
