Despicable Me 2

The movie's only Mexican character, voiced by Benjamin Bratt (who's multiracial with Quechua heritage), is depicted stereotypically as a macho luchador who owns his restaurant ("Salsa and Salsa"), has a pet chicken he calls el pollito, and throws a lavish Cinco de Mayo party. Gru's early potential dates are depicted with clichés about women being either "unattractive" or "fake" and plastic surgery-enhanced. Lucy, there solely to enrich Gru's storyline, is in contrast driven and self-determined. The girls continue to depict teamwork and compassion at the highest levels. While the greater environment has body diversity, main characters are mostly thin.

Because Gru is happy and no longer a supervillain, he's less violent than in the first film. But the minions and villains take up the reins, using tasers, medieval weapons, razors, knives, flame guns, etc., for cartoonish attacks that never create lasting damage. When the minions transform into the greatest weapon, monstrous scenes could be disturbing to young viewers. Characters are taken hostage and shot in the butt with a tranquilizer dart. A snake gets mutilated, and a shark almost attacks. Gru flashes back to experiences of schoolyard bullying.

A character sits on a portable toilet with his pants around his ankles. Characters go on a date, fall in love, and kiss. A young couple dance and hold hands. An exposed minion butt appears on the beach, and another loses his shirt and panics, covering his chest. A man wears a Speedo and appears shirtless in a shower scene.

Insults include "nut job," "sheep's butt," and "Gruties" (a mix of "Gru" and "cooties"). The minions offer a "21-fart salute" to Dr. Nefario.

After shooting a character with a tranquilizer dart, the shooter excuses the victim's sloppy behavior by mimicking to the waiter that she'd been drinking.
