If you haven’t heard, Despicable Me 2 hits theaters July 3rd and our family is looking forward to seeing it!

Look up!  You just might see a giant yellow Minion floating high above you, because Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me 2 #Despicablimp has begun its journey across the U.S.!

 
Cruising at an average height of 1,000 feet, the Despicablimp will travel approximately 20,000 miles over the next few months going from coast-to-coast and points in between.
