Can I watch Despicable Me 2 without Despicable Me 1?


I saw Despicable Me 1 but I can't remember anything about it. Do I need to know anything before I watch Despicable Me 2?

Gru is actually an alien.

The minions are in league with the devil.

The girls are from another dimension.

Vector stole the moon.

No. They make references about the past for the important stuff. It's a really cute movie.

Not really. I am kind of like you. I haven't seen the first one from start to finish since I saw it in the theater.

Both stories are pretty much unrelated.
They reuse some of the gags with the mimions so its probably best to forget about the first one before watching the second one if you want to have the best experience

Well if you consider that it's a kids' movie, and a lot of kids are either to young to have seen the first one, or too immature/undeveloped to remember, the bar is set pretty low in terms of applicability of references pertaining to past material.

you should watch DM1 again,
to enjoy more DM2.

BTW, i wonder, why don't you remember anything, if you watched DM1. anyway.

No it does not completely matter. :)
