NOW CLOSED Mumsnet exclusive preview screening of Despicable Me 2 - sign up here!

[KatieBMumsnet]

We've teamed up with Universal Pictures UK to offer Mumsnetters and their families' a chance to attend an exclusive pre-release screening of the much anticipated movie, Despicable Me 2!

"Now that the ever-entrepreneurial Gru has left behind a life of super crime to raise Margo, Edith and Agnes, Gru, Dr. Nefario and the Minions have some free time on their hands. But just as he starts to adjust to his role as a suburban family man, an ultra-secret organization dedicated to fighting evil around the globe comes knocking. Now, it's up to Gru and his new partner, Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), to discover who is responsible for a spectacular crime and bring him to justice. After all, it takes the world's greatest ex-villain to catch the one vying to take his place?"

Visit the Despicable Me 2 pages on Mumsnet to see the trailer (in cinemas 28th June): www.mumsnet.com/microsites/despicable-me-2

There are two screenings taking place on Sunday 16th June at the following locations and times:

London O2 arena - 3.30pm - 6.30pm

Manchester Printworks - 10am - 1pm

The screening will start off with 'fun in the foyer' including costume characters, games and more. You'll then be showed to your seats, provided with a bottle of water and a snack each and left to sit back and enjoy the film!

We'd then like you to come back to a thread at Mumsnet and tell us what you and your DCs thought of the film. We'd also love it if you could take a few pictures of your DCs enjoying their day out and upload them to the feedback thread. Pictures may be used on the Despicable Me 2 pages on MN, so please only upload pictures if you're happy for us to do this.

So, if you'd like to see Despicable Me 2 before anyone else, please sign up here.

Please note, the film is rated U and therefore suitable for any age, however due to the length of the film time (98mins) it's not advisable for children under 2 years to attend.

If you're selected to attend you will be emailed by 10th June with details of how to get your tickets. You will need to add your details - along with a special code - on a link we will send you. You'll then need to print your tickets at home and bring them with you to the screening to gain entry.

Please note: max 4 tickets per Mumsnetter.

Everyone who is selected to attend and adds a review onto the feedback thread will be in with a chance of winning a Despicable Me 2 goody bag!

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

motherofmuddles - that's not sad, I would have done the same!

Best animated film ever, I'm so happy they made a 2nd one, didn't think they were going to.

faye007 - add your details to the link above and we'll email selected MNers with a link where you get the tickets. Tis a popular one this though so sadly not everyone will be selected. We will however attempt to run a reserve list.

dances in the style of Vector oh yeah, oh yeah
Fingers crossed mn-ers

Its not near us either, butyou know what, there's this thing where you can goto pics and pay to buy tickets and go see the film... or shall we all not go because mumsnet hasn't secured every venue across the globe (lets not exclude overseas mumsnetters too)

Lets face it, by August it'll be on a Saturday morning Kids' Club showing at your local cinema for less than the cost of a bus ticket.

Still keeping my fingers crossed that we get to this showing mind you.

Bexicles - PM me with what you'd like to change and I'll update for you

We would love 2 adult and 2 children's tickets for London please!

jackandbethsmum, please add your details using the link in the OP and we'll email selected MNers with the link to download the tickets soon.

I hope we get selected, I think I'm more excited to see this film than the kids are and they are pretty darn excited!

Has anyone heard whether they have been selected?

Fell asleep last night early and now the thread is closed :( Hope all you testers have a fab time!
