Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate movie storyline. Megamind’s former villain team, The Doom Syndicate, has returned. Our newly crowned blue hero must now keep up evil appearances until he can assemble his friends (Roxanne, Ol’ Chum and Keiko) to stop his former evil teammates from launching Metro City to the Moon.
The original “Megamind,” released in 2010, was a fresh, funny, and heartwarming animated film with wildly imaginative visuals and A-list voice talent, including Will Farrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, and David Cross. Fourteen years later, this new straight-to-streaming flick is not fresh, with derivative visuals and mostly nondescript voice talent. It is intermittently funny and briefly heartwarming, as though they ran the original through the washing machine a few times, and then faxed it.
Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate is a 2024 American animated superhero comedy film directed by Eric Fogel from a screenplay by Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons. It is the second installment of the Megamind film series and a sequel to Megamind (2010), which also serves as the pilot for the television series, Megamind Rules!.
The film stars Keith Ferguson as Megamind, who clashes with his former supervillain team who plans to launch Metro City to the moon. Laura Post and Josh Brener also star as Roxanne Ritchie and Ol’ Chum (formerly known as Minion) respectively, with Maya Aoki Tuttle, Emily Tunon, Talon Warburton, Scott Adsit, Chris Sullivan, Tony Hale, Jeanine Mason, and Adam Lambert joining.
Unlike its predecessor, Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate was produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and was released on Peacock on March 1, 2024. It was panned by critics and audiences, with many deeming it inferior to its precursor.
