In Despicable Me, a deplorable evil mastermind named Groo, voiced by Steve Carell, plans to steal the moon. But a trio of orphan girls, named Margo, Edith and Agnes, are the one thing that could make him rethink his evil plan.

Despicable Me is co-directed by Pierre Coffin (Gary’s Fall), Chris Renaud (No Time for Nuts), and Sergio Pablos (Tarzan) of the new animation house Illumination Entertainment. The screenplay was co-written by writing partners Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul of films like Bubble Boy, The Santa Clause 2, Horton Hears a Who!, College Road Trip.

Universal is bringing Despicable Me to theaters on July 9th, 2010 next summer.

Weird Al’s new single from the “Internet Leaks” collection. Video directed by Divya Srinivasan.

Based on Zombie’s comic book of the same name, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, is a blend of Fritz the Cat, Scooby-Doo, Ren and Stimpy and Santo wrestling flicks. El Superbeasto is “adults only” animation available on DVD for the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $19.97 and on Blu-ray for $34.98.

The twisted animated tale centers on El Superbeasto (voiced by Tom Papa), a former world-class masked wrestler with super-human strength, who now finds himself in the very ordinary capacity as producer, director and star of BeastoWorld Enterprises. But when he can, Beasto spends time fighting evil along with his with his super-sexy sister, Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie), in the spooky Monsterland. The hefty hero faces his biggest battle when he struggles to stop the unholy marriage of foul-mouthed stripper Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson) and the diabolical Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti).

Columbian animator Oscar Triana crafted this short animated tribute to Star Wars.

He had this to say, “Playing with the idea of “how you remember the movie, back then” and using things in common when you were in school like notebooks, cut-out figures, cotton and the alike. The short recreates in three minutes the original movie, using some random and sometimes witty ideas/comments from me and other kids that have seen it in the last few years. It’s like a crazy summary by a kid who sees the movie for the first time”.

The R-rated project, which is targeted for cable, is based on characters created by Bill Kopp (“Eek! The Cat,” “Toonsylvania”) and follows the lives of the most popular cartoon duo in history after their fall from stardom.

Garrett is attached to voice one of the two leads as well as executive produce the show through his banner, Mope Prods. Also exec producing are Glenn Robbins and Doug Wald; Kopp is on board as co-executive producer.
