The film features a majority of A-list celebrities like Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and David Cross.
The themes I chose to correlate with this movie give off a ‘bitter- sweet’ or ‘ironic’ response to the connection. ‘Love Conquers All’ is a romance theme, which talks about how strong love can be.

The film is directed by a famous American film-director, Tim McGrath who has directed countless of top recognized family movies such as ‘The Boss Baby’, ‘Madagascar’, ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’, and etcetera. Despite the animation skills and laughable antics, Megamind is suitable for children as the lessons the film provides behind the themes helps children understand/mature at a young age.
