Plot summary
Megamind and Minion are the new Protectors of Metro City, and their first day begins with an auction of the gadgets from their old evil lair; Megamind believes heroes should not use devices tied to evil. Everything sells except the Death Ray, which he keeps reluctantly; the De-Gun goes to a boy named Damien, who accidentally turns his mother into a small cube with it. Megamind then shows Minion a supersuit that copies all of Metro Man's powers, which he intends to wear while defending the city. Minion finds a stray box holding a button that went unsold. Unable to recall what it does, Megamind presses it, and a giant robot comes to life, driven by an old program that carries his former villainous personality.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Megamind: The Button of Doom (2011)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Ben Stiller was first suggested for the role of Megamind, then Robert Downey Jr. was considered, but Will Ferrell ultimately got the part when Downey had scheduling conflicts. Stiller was instead cast in the smaller role of museum curator Bernard.
- Guillermo del Toro joined as a creative consultant only three weeks before production wrapped, but still came up with the film's opening scene of Megamind falling to his apparent death and talked the filmmakers into cutting seven minutes of already-finished animation.
- Megamind's Japanese theatrical release was scheduled for March 12, 2011, but the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan the day before forced the studio to postpone it, and it did not actually open there until June 2018, seven years later.
