The "Despicable Me" experience will replace "Jimmy Neutron," which is set to close in August.
"Despicable Me" will become the first Universal animated film to be made into a theme park experience. The film earned $540 million at the box office and is the sixth most successful film that Universal Pictures has ever distributed.
The theme park adaptation will transform the audience into "minions," train them, and then set them out on a mischievous adventure. Universal explained that you will experience everything through the minion's eyes.
