Minions: The Rise of Gru

This is the longest-advertised animated film in motion picture history, due to a nearly 2½-year gap between its first trailer and its official release.

In the scene at the Bank of Evil, Vector's father shows us the same photo that we see on his desk in the first movie. This would put Vector's age at least the same as Gru's. In the first film, we see a young Gru watching the moon landing. In this film he's supposed to be 11 years old. Set in 1976, that would make young Gru 4 years old in 1969.

In a mid-credits scene, Gru hires Dr. Nefario in gratitude for an invention of his that helped him steal the stone. Nefario originally declines but decides to join him after he and the Minions beg, giving them a ride on a jet, similar to the one Gru would ride in the future.
