The great popcorn bucket war of 2024 continues into the summer, and Illumination Entertainment is trying its hand at the latest trend with Despicable Me 4.

What is the Despicable Me 4 popcorn bucket?
2024 has truly opened some truly magical doors when it comes to collectibles. Pokémon and Le Creuset joined to release some fashionable pocket-monster-inspired cookware, and every film since Dune Part 2 is trying to up the ante of insane collectible popcorn buckets in an attempt to get butts in theatre seats.
While we’re unlikely to see anything as magnificent as the dangerously-close-to-NSFW Deadpool & Wolverine bucket, Despicable Me 4 has gone for adorable practicality.

Though it’s best to ensure the little ones don’t try to play with it while it’s full.
