10 More Insane Movie Moments You Won't Believe You Never Spotted
4. Gru Has Some Insane Relatives In His Despicable Me Family Tree
If it hadn't already been made clear in this list, the world of animation can often be a bit of a mad one. And sure enough, an animated classic about a supervillain trying to steal the moon contained its fair share of insane moments, too.
However, there is one quite nutty detail in the first Despicable Me feature that flew under just about everyone's radars, and it could be found during the scene when Gru checks out his family tree. Before glancing down at the delightful additional family members scribbled onto the wall by his adopted daughters, a quick pause of the screen on that family tree reveals a whole host of utterly insane relatives.
Along with the Gru family containing a great many different races and seemingly villainous characters, including pirates and creepy scientists, it also boasts a rather furry member, with it looking like one of Gru's ancestors was actually a werewolf called Marcel.
In other words, it seems Gru genuinely does have that dog/wolf in him.
