Synopsis:

Megamind is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known…and the least successful.

Suddenly, the fate of Metro City is threatened when a new villain arrives and chaos runs rampant, leaving everyone to wonder: Can the world’s biggest MIND actually be the one to save the day?
