* Both Gru and Vector in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'' don't really do anything overly dastardly, at least in the animated film's universe (in RealLife, the consequences of stealing the Moon would be much more horrific). Yes, Gru freezes a few people, but the freezing is implied to be harmless. And Vector is content with stealing monuments and just sitting back playing his Wii. In fact, had Vector not stolen the Pyramid at the beginning, that boy would have died. (Though Vector later kidnaps the girls and threatens them to extort Gru so he's more of a {{Not so harmless villain}} and even some of Gru's acts in the film such as adoption fraud would be considered serious crimes in {{real life}}.
