About the Film

Megamind is a 2010 American animated superhero comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation and directed by Tom McGrath. Will Ferrell voices Megamind, a blue-skinned, enormous-headed alien supervillain in Metro City who has spent his entire life losing spectacularly to his nemesis Metro Man, voiced by Brad Pitt, until one day he finally defeats and apparently kills the invincible hero. Finding victory hollow and purposeless without a heroic opponent, Megamind creates a new hero from a regular citizen named Hal, voiced by Jonah Hill, using Metro Man's extracted DNA — but Hal turns evil and becomes the destructive Titan, forcing Megamind to become the hero he never believed he could be.

Megamind was a remarkably ahead-of-its-time deconstruction of superhero tropes that explored what happens to a villain who defines himself entirely through opposition and discovers that evil without a counterbalancing good is simply chaos. Will Ferrell brought genuine pathos to Megamind's loneliness and deep-seated insecurity beneath his theatrical villainy, and the romance between Megamind (disguised as a human) and reporter Roxanne Ritchi, voiced by Tina Fey, added unexpected sweetness. The film has been widely reappraised since its release as a more intelligent and emotionally resonant film than its modest initial reception suggested.

Megamind earned $321 million worldwide on a $130 million budget.
