Sexual & romantic
- NudityModerate
Animated gags: a Minion strips until his thong falls off, bare Minion bottoms, and Gru naked in side view in a credits scene.

Movieguide rates sex as None; only romance is shown, with no sexual activity or sexual talk reported.

One comedic Minion strip-down to a thong; no other suggestive imagery reported.

One 'd' word, one 'bastard', and Minion gibberish that sounds like 'God' three times.
