Pharrell x Despicable Me. Pharrell is getting paid a handsome fee from Universal Pictures for creating and performing the title track to the upcoming 3-D animated movie Despicable Me. The film has a Pixar feel to it and Universal is betting big that it delivers like a Pixar flick as well. Steve Carrel plays the title character Gru who likes to steal big things like the Egyptian Pyramids and next the moon. But then Kid Cudi tells him not to steal the moon….ok ok….three little girls convince him not to. The end.
Pharrell continues to make more moves into film score and soundtrack work. He is still tagged as exec producer on the live-action Voltron film where he will also score the music with the classic Neptunes sound. Check the trailer to Despicable Me here with the title track song over at Nah Right.
