(neon buzzing)
-(line straining) -(grunting)
-Huh? -Hello.
(screams)
(theme song playing)
* Supervillain, ahead of his time *
* Incredibly handsome genius, criminal mastermind *
* But now he's all cleaned up and fighting crime *
* A superhero that you stream online *
* It's Megamind *
* Oh, it feels good to be good this time *
* It's Megamind *
* Oh, it's Megamind *
* Rules! *
[beep, static]
Citizens of Metrocity, I need your help!
I've been kidnaped by one who I used to call friend.
And now, they're torturing me ever so cruelly!
Calm down, Captain Hysteria.
I wanted to surprise you for all the hard work you're doing.
Don't you like surprises?
I have no problem with surprises.
It's just the ones that come out of nowhere and surprise you.
So, you just don't like surprising surprises.
(groans) The tension is unbearable!
Just let me guess what it is. A bigger statue?
Plutonium? A bouquet of puppies?
Tell me. Wait! Don't tell me. I retract that! Tell me!
-Okay, before you explode. -(sighs)
Ta-da!
-(gentle music playing) -(gasps)
Sweet, shimmering Shangri-La!
I know you've become a fan
since Chum helped revamp the place, and--
-(excited panting) -Oh... Okay.
Ooh! I want that one! No, I want that one!
Oh, so many choices!
-Well, who says you gotta choose just one? (laughs) -Megamind: Mr. Donut!
Roxanne, it's Mr. Donut!
Did my outfit give it away?
(laughing)
You're witnessing a master at work, Roxanne.
Look! He juggles donuts as well as he deep fries them.
Mr. Donut: Yeah, I do!
Ho ho ho ho!
-Ho! -Whoa!
Oh! (gasps) The precision!
-Then you are gonna love this! -(gasps)
Who's this beautiful creature?
That is our new Megadonut.
My tribute to the city's greatest hero.
You, sir, are an artist.
Who would have imagined?
A few weeks ago,
this place was just another greasy diner.
But whether it's week-old soup or donuts,
whenever fate points me in a new direction,
I dive in 100%!
Well, this donut is about to 100% dive into my belly.
Well, since you hate surprises so much,
maybe we'll skip the next one.
Tell me what it is! I beg you!
Easy! I have arranged for Mr. Donut
to give us a little tour.
Mr. Donut: Usually, I like to keep my baking process a secret,
but I think I can make an exception
for the defender of Metro City. Follow me.
Ah-ah, I almost forgot. No eating in the kitchen.
This'll give you time to digest
the seven donuts you had on the way over.
Fine...
-(brainbots beeping) -Business is booming!
Though, it would be nice to spend a little more time
with the wife and kids.
Psst! Hey, buddy. What are you waiting for?
-(dreamy music playing) -Don't you want to take a bite?
(whispers) Of course. I want nothing more!
Mr. Donut: Did you say something?
-(conveyor belt rattling) -(normal) Uh, I-I said, "Please tell us more."
This is all just the beginning.
Got some big plans for expanding.
First across town, then across the country.
Before you know it, Mr. Donut's gonna take over the world!
Megadonut: Ollo...
My sweet, gooey flesh is yearning
for those pearly chompers.
Ugh, you're clearly just my donut-loving imagination
playing tricks on me.
And here's the secret to the whole operation.
My famous sticky glaze.
You've saved my Metrocity twice.
Surely you deserve one bite.
That is airtight logic. Ah-- (grunts)
(quietly) You have the self-control of a puppy
around a sloppy toddler.
He said no eating.
Roxanne, both you and the donut make good arguments,
except if I listen to you, I get nothing.
(both struggling)
-(tense music playing) -(slow motion gasp)
(splat)
(both gasp)
(both sigh)
And you'll find this interesting. The vat actually--
-(screaming) -(dramatic music playing)
(Megamind, Roxanne gasp)
We have to save him!
No donut baker dies on my watch.
(triumphant music playing)
(squishing)
(Roxanne yelps)
-Mr. Donut! -(squishing)
-Are you okay? -(sighs)
I think I slipped on jelly.
But how could that have happened?
Both: Uh...
(siren wails)
All his vitals are fine.
-He's just really sticky. -(stethoscope snaps)
I guess he could just hold on to that.
I think now would be a good time
to apologize to Mr. Donut.
You're the one who grabbed my arm!
Fine. We'll do this together.
(gentle music playing)
Mr. Donut, we owe you an apology.
Roxanne's blatant rule-following
caused me to squirt the jelly.
(weakly) I'll pay you back for this.
That's not good.
What did he say? Everything okay?
Actually, I'm afraid things have gone
-from bad to evil. -(dramatic crescendo)
Whoa! Oh!
-(static) -Citizens of Metrocity,
you're about to see something rarely captured on film.
The origin of a supervillain out in the wild.
Roll it!
(weakly) I'll pay you back for this.
-Ah, ha! -(grunts)
What are you up to?
-Mr. Donut is the nicest person ever. -Oh, really?
Do nice guys admit their plans for world domination?
-Exhibit A. -(beep)
Mr. Donut's gonna take over the world!
(dramatic sting)
Is your head also filled with jelly?
He just meant that he wants to expand his business.
His business is badness,
and Mr. Donut is all in.
-Exhibit B! -(beep)
-But whether it's week-old soup or donuts... -(beep)
-Megamind (dubbed): Or evil! -(beep)
...I dive in 100%!
(Megamind laughs evilly)
That's not even his evil laugh. That's your evil laugh.
I don't know what you're talking about.
(on video) Chum, how is my evil laugh?
You're assuming he's going to turn evil
because he fell into a vat of glaze?
That's crazy.
Crazy like a fox in a lab coat.
Because it's based on something called science.
-(typing, beep) -He's right, Roxie.
A hero accidentally creating a nemesis
by causing them to fall into something
is a well-known villain trope going back to the '50s.
Name one example where someone literally created a nemesis
-by knocking them into something. -Keiko: Got it.
"Top 10 times where someone literally created a nemesis
by knocking them into something."
Ugh, the internet's the worst.
Behemoth fell into a volcano,
the Cosmetologist fell into a tub of mascara,
Leopardman fell into a cage of baby leopards, and-- Ooh! Look!
This one has a video link.
(baby leopards growling, snarling cutely)
All: Aw!
Chum, you worked with Mr. Donut. What's your impression?
Oh, he was a great boss.
Although, he did demand 100% from his workers.
Sounds like a villain to me.
Also sounds like every boss at every job ever.
Gotta side with them, Roxie.
This guy's hitting all the signposts
that lead to major villainy.
Which is why I'm going to do something
no hero has done before.
Stop a villain before they even become one.
Chum! You and I are going to check in on Mr. Donut
and see if can get back on his good side
before it turns into a bad side.
He's overreacting.
People don't just switch from good to bad. Ooh!
What do you say you and I launch our own investigation?
Hold on. You want me to do real detective work?
Think you're up for it?
Up? I'm on the dang roof! But wait.
What if I'm right about Mr. Donut being bad,
and you're wrong about him being good?
A real detective uncovers the truth no matter where it leads.
But let's say loser buys the winner donuts!
My glucose is rising already.
(grunts)
I sure appreciate you and Chum
stopping by to repair the place.
It's the least we could do.
So now, there's absolutely no reason to turn evil ever.
-What? -I said, "Look at that!"
-Better than ever. -Uh, not exactly, Sir.
Can't get the heating element to work on the glaze vat,
and it's gonna take about a week to get the parts.
A week? How am I gonna make the donuts?
Fear not. I have just the solution.
-Brainbot, fetch me the laser gauntlet. -(brainbot whirring)
**
Now, just point your hand at the vat and fire.
(whirring, zap)
Whoa! What do you know? It's working.
I tell ya, I don't know how to thank you guys.
Well, you can thank us
by just staying the wonderful person you are
and not changing anything about your personality and life goals.
There you have it, citizens of Metro--
-(static) -I hate to toot my own horn... Chum?
-Toot, toot! -I mean, seriously,
how many heroes do you know who've actually
stopped a villain before they became one?
Sir, we're having a little difficulty.
-(static) -It's all the glaze I fell into.
Not only is everything sticking to me,
I still can't get my costume off.
You probably just need a little mega muscle.
-(upbeat music playing) -(straining)
Get my back into it. (groans)
-My front into it, too. -Mr. Donut: Oh no.
I gotta be at the bank in 10 minutes.
(grunts) Go to your appointment.
Chum and I will fetch some tools,
and we'll get that off you when we come back.
It's no big deal, and certainly no reason to resort to villainy!
-Whoa! -Who's blue, has two thumbs, and stops criminals
before they even know they're evil? This guy!
I've never seen such an orderly conspiracy board.
That's because I've been looking into Mr. Donut's background,
and it's spotless!
He doesn't have an evil bone in his donut-shaped body.
Not so fast, fellow detective.
-Think you might have missed something. -Reporter: Breaking news.
We're live as a donut-shaped villain
is robbing Metro City Bank.
How could he turn evil? I gave him a laser gauntlet!
Why would you give a man you thought could turn evil
a gauntlet that shoots lasers?
You know my hindsight is questionable, Roxanne.
Thought I reached him in time, but evil works fast.
Luckily, justice is fasterer.
-Let's go, Chum. -(triumphant music playing)
I'm gonna tail them. If you're taking donut orders,
-I'm a bear claws kinda gal! -Oh!
(tense crescendo)
-(people yelling) -(laser whirring)
**
Okay, Mr. Donut.
Your days of villainy have come to an end!
Oh, Megamind, am I glad to see you!
The glove you gave me keeps firing!
Also, things keep stickin' to me!
So you're not robbing the place?
Of course not!
I came here for my expansion loan,
-and when I went to hand over my forms... -(whirs)
(citizens screaming)
Oh, there's still time.
He hasn't turned down the path of evil.
Quick! Let's get it off him!
**
-(struggling) -(zapping, people screaming)
Watch out!
Everyone, remain calm!
Mr. Donut: Oh, sorry! Ah! That hurts.
-(people screaming) -A stethoscope-wielding villain
the media has dubbed Dr. Glazer Donut
has taken over Metro City Bank.
This is shocking footage taken as Megamind and Chum
engage the donut-shaped physician fiend
-in hand-to-hand combat. -(grunts)
-(siren wails, stops) -Whoa!
Ugh! We just bought that patrol car!
-(people screaming) -Megamind: Almost got it!
(Chum, Megamind yelp)
Ah! (groans)
Chum: Mr. Donut?
Sir! He's out cold!
Officer (on megaphone): Come out with your hands up!
We have to get him out of here!
Quick, to the Invisible Car!
(beeping)
-(blast) -(crowd screaming)
**
We gotta hide Mr. Donut. He'll want revenge for sure
if I accidentally get him framed for a crime he didn't commit.
(straining)
(car revving, roaring)
Guys, wait!
(grunts) Huh?
"Opera, pay, mega"?
Oh, I found a clue! I'm like a master detective.
Oh, wait. I have no idea what these words mean.
But I do know where he wrote them.
-(door creaks) -Ah, here we are.
I once used this abandoned life preserver warehouse
as a hideout while the lair was getting fumigated.
You'll be safe here while Chum and I clear things up.
(woozy) Okay, I got a few quick questions.
Who am I, who are you, and what's goin' on?
(gasps) Must've been that bump on the head!
Okay, quick recap. I'm Megamind. This is Ol' Chum.
Stay here and try not to think about revenge
and world domination.
-Call if you need anything. -(door slams)
Whoa. Feel like I need to rest.
Those life preservers look cozy.
-(intimidating music playing) -(winches whining)
-(grunts) -Well, what do we have here?
Someone trying to steal
our appropriately nautical-themed villain hideout.
What?
Whoa! Guys! It's Dr. Glazer Donut!
That who I am? A doctor who's a donut?
We're the Go Fish Gang! And we're huge fans.
We saw you rob the Metro City Bank,
and it was brilliant!
I did? And it was?
And your whole getup!
A doctor who's also a donut that shoots lasers?
-Just terrific! -I shoot lasers?
(zap, blast)
Whoa! I guess I do.
Such a fresh, original concept for a villain!
We're about to pull off a job of our own.
And it would be an honor to have
Metro City's newest bad guy with us.
Oh...!
-(picking lock) -What's taking so long?
You're making us look like amateurs
in front of Dr. Glazer Donut.
It's so much pressure with him watching me work!
Hey, show us how it's done, Dr. Glazer Donut.
-You mean you want me to-- -(zap)
-(blast) -(dust settling)
That was absolutely my bad.
And your bad is absolutely awesome.
(laughter)
Hey, you're really good at this.
Where'd you get your start, anyway?
Uh, I seem to remember
Megamind knocking me into a vat of glaze?
Sounds like a classic nemesis origin story to me.
That's fate telling you that you were born to be a villain.
And when fate points you in a direction...
You dive in 100%!
Exactly. A villain like you
could take over the world.
Taking over the world!
Yeah, I remember wanting that, too!
Stick with us,
and we'll make all your evil dreams come true.
(maniacal laughter)
Hey, Dr. Glazer Donut, let's hear your maniacal laugh.
(maniacal laugh)
-(laughter building) -(dramatic crescendo)
(stops laughing)
(overlapping accolades)
**
He has amnesia?
-And you just left him there?! -He's someplace safe.
He doesn't know that. He doesn't know anything now!
Oh, the more I try to help the man,
the more likely it seems he's going to become
my greatest enemy.
Look, we can try and do our best for others,
but ultimately, it's up to each of us
to decide who we are and what we wanna be.
And personally, I don't think
there's even a sprinkle of evil in Mr. Donut's heart.
One sprinkle of evil, courtesy of this blue buffoon.
Reporter (on video): This just in, new villain sensation
Dr. Glazer Donut has robbed the Metro City Pearl exchange
-with the Go Fish Gang. -(nervous whimper)
-Gang: Dr. Glazer Donut! Dr. Glazer Donut! -(Mr. Donut laughing)
(laughs)
Now, for our next crime,
we should do something really big.
As an evil donut doctor,
my prognosis for Megamind
-is death by sugar-glazed villainy. -(dramatic sting)
Hey, love your thinking, but Megamind's a hard guy to trap.
Not if we get him to come to us.
You, sir, are an artist.
(dialing)
Hello, Megamind?
Mr. Donut! Have you joined the Go Fish Gang?!
Of course not!
But they've taken me hostage.
They're using your old warehouse as their hideout.
Is there no evil originality anymore?
Just stay calm. We're heading right over.
(quiet tense music playing)
(yelping)
Sorry. Thought you were Dr. Glazer Donut.
I got your message.
What's this clue you wanted to show me?
Take a look. You can just make out the words
"opera," "pay," and "mega."
-The rest is torn. -Oh! Oh!
I've always wanted to do this!
Find the pad he wrote this on.
**
Here's a little trick I picked up when I was a kid
and had a detective agency with my stuffed animals.
Aw!
Operation Payback Megamind?
(gasps, sighs) Mr. Donut does want revenge.
-(clang) -We're here to rescue you, Mr. Donut.
-Ah! -Ah! Whoa!
(whirring)
Mr. Donut: Well, well, well.
Looks like we got a walk-in appointment.
Hope you got full coverage.
Mr. Donut, how could you? What would the donuts think?
Ah-ah! The name's Dr. Glazer Donut.
And, unfortunately for you,
the prognosis is
-a sweet, sugary demise! -(dramatic crescendo)
Bank robbery, faking amnesia. It must all be a trick
to get Megamind to lower his guard! (sighs)
Guess I did help create a villain.
-(gasps) -We gotta hide!
(grunting, yelps)
(tense music playing, crescendos)
(click)
-Attack! -(both grunting)
Mayor Ritchie?
What are you doing here?
We could ask you the same thing.
This is my husband's store!
We just came in to help him prepare
for Operation Payback Megamind.
-Ha! I knew it! -(Roxanne yelps)
**
Roxanne: Huh?
Keiko: "Thank you, Megamind, you deserve it"?
Wait. Operation Payback is a surprise party for Megamind.
For saving his life! What else would it be?
I think Megamind might have-- accidentally--
turned your husband into a villain.
You mean my Melvin?
You might be the only one who can get through to him.
Alright, Megamind. Time to sleep with the fishes.
-(beep) -(gasps)
Sharks, to be more precise.
(snarls)
And to officially welcome Dr. Glazer Donut to the family,
-we're going to let him send you both to your doom. -(laser whirs)
Mr. Donut: It's time to end this.
We have been enemies a long time, Megamind.
Actually, no, we haven't! We were friends!
I do remember...
He's just trying to stall you!
Oldest hero trick in the book.
Mr. Donut, I know exactly what you're going through.
My entire life came down to one single decision.
What kind of person did I really want to be?
Do you want to be the reviled Dr. Glazer Donut,
or the beloved Mr. Donut?
-(whirring) -(door opens)
Melvin? What's going on here?
-(laser whirs down) -Claire?
This isn't you. You're not Dr. Glazer Donut!
You didn't even go to medical school!
Your name's Melvin Feinberg. You make donuts,
and you're good at it!
You're a terrific husband, a wonderful father,
and you're better than this.
She's right, Mr. Donut.
Your donut skills are meant for good, not evil.
Oh, enough jibber-jabber.
-Blast him, Dr. Glazer Donut! -(whirring)
(yelping)
The name is not Dr. Glazer Donut.
-It's Mr. Donut! -(Chum and Megamind yelp, grunt)
(groans) That could've been more thought out on your part.
No one throws back the Go Fish Gang.
-Ah! -Stand aside, Mr. Donut.
-This is our job. -No, no.
I helped create this mess and I'm gonna help fix it.
100%.
That's my Melvin!
(grunts)
A master of pastry arts, and brave.
(yelling)
(grunts)
Whoa!
Ha! Is that the best you got?
-(cracking) -(yells)
-(grunts) -(unspooling)
**
Yo! Whoa!
Looks like I landed a big one!
(screaming)
Help!
(yelps)
Looks like I'm the one who got away!
Do-nut leave now.
I got a baker's dozen reasons you should stay!
(grunting, groaning)
-Cool! -Yeah, you did it, Dad!
Hey, my little munchkins!
Guess we caught the "hole" gang.
You know, like donut holes! (laughs)
I stepped on the nice moment, didn't I?
According to Megamind,
Mr. Donut was working undercover
to help him nab the notorious Go Fish Gang.
-Job well done to Metro City's newest and unlikeliest hero. -(siren wailing)
Another tray for my favorite customers.
(sighs) Great to see Mr. Donut back and better than ever.
And not only that,
I figured out a way to spend more time with the family.
Here you go.
-There's nothing better than free labor. -(kicks)
And family togetherness.
I think maybe there's also a lesson to be learned
-from all of this. -That reminds me!
I just want to say to all my fans
that I think Mayor Ritchi has learned a valuable lesson
about assuming the worst in people.
Hey! I was on his side.
For a majority of the time.
The important truth is the kind of person we are
comes down to the decisions we make.
For example, right now, I'm regretting the decision
to eat 20 donuts.
Come on, big guy. What's one more bite?
How could I ever disappoint you,
my little delicious blue friends? (chomp)
