Despicable Me 2 (2013) Original Advance Movie Poster Rolled DS – 27x40 Back 2 Work Minions
DESPICABLE ME 2
Original U.S. Theatrical Advance Movie Poster – “Back 2 Work” Minions Locker Room Design
A fun and highly recognizable original theatrical advertising poster for Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s 2013 animated comedy Despicable Me 2, directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.
This advance design features the Minions inside their locker room, with lockers labeled Kevin, Phil and Dave. One Minion is shown changing in front of an open locker filled with memorable details including a banana, Minion goggles, overalls and snapshots, while another Minion stands nearby.
Across the top is the memorable campaign line:
“BACK 2 WORK”
with the number 2 highlighted in orange as a direct visual tie to Despicable Me 2.
The bottom carries the advance release copy:
“JULY 3”
along with Illumination Entertainment and Universal studio marks.
This is specifically an advance / teaser campaign design, rather than the later full-credit theatrical one sheet. Poster-reference archives document this exact “Back 2 Work” artwork as part of the official 2013 Despicable Me 2 campaign.
The example shown also retains the pre-release:
“THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED”
marking, another characteristic associated with advance theatrical advertising.
A particularly appealing poster for collectors of Minions, Despicable Me, Illumination Entertainment, Universal Pictures, animation memorabilia and original modern theatrical advertising.
