And in the continued barrage of trailers hitting today, there’s a new teaser trailer of the animated comedy Despicable Me, featuring Steve Carell. Check it out below, or head on over to Yahoo for the HD versions:

The film follows the nefarious Gru (Carell), who is currently busy hatching his most despicable plot yet: stealing the Moon. Amidst his preparations of all the shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready land and air vehicles, Gru is poised for yet another stunning feat of villainy. That is, until he encounters the immense will of three orphaned girls who see in Gru something that no one has seen before: a potential Dad.

The teaser trailer doesn’t really showcase the main characters so much as it just sets up a little of the backstory. I’m keen to see Gru actually in action before deciding on the movie’s merits, but so far, I’m not sold. Hopefully, we’ll get a full trailer soon that’ll give us a better idea of just what to expect. I remain optimistic, as the film has an impressive voice-cast that includes Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Jemaine Clement, Miranda Cosgrove and Julie Andrews.

Despicable Me is slated to hit theaters in 3-D on July 9, 2010.
