Miss Hattie is the secondary antagonist of Illumination's 1st feature film Despicable Me, the first installment of the franchise of the same name.
She is the cruel owner of Miss Hattie's Home for Girls, the orphanage that Margo, Edith and Agnes used to live, in and the owner of the cookies that the trio were selling to make a living. She often insists to the girls that they're never going to be adopted because she needed them for her side business, which was then changed when Felonious Gru decided to adopt them full time.
She was voiced by Kristen Wiig, who later played Lucy Wilde in the same franchise. Wiig also played Cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984, Katinka Ingaborgovinananananana's disguise as Alexanya Atoz in Zoolander 2, Herald in mother!, Sharon Fishman in Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar, Madame Hagfish in SpongeBob SquarePants, and Balthazar Bratt's disguise in the second sequel.
Biography[]
Miss Hattie is first seen on her computer, where she then greets the girls when they return from their long day of selling cookies. When she hears of their progress, she then tells the Girls furiously: "LOOK AT MY FACE!!! Do you still think it's a great sale day?" She then tells the girls that they can either do better or end up in the Box of Shame as a wicked punishment.
She is then seen again when Gru (dressed like a doctor) comes to "adopt" the girls to use them to steal back the shrink ray from Vector and use it in the moon heist. Gru then tells Miss Hattie that she has a face of a donkey in Spanish. Not knowing the translation, Hattie happily introduces the Girls to Gru and smiles as he walks with them to his vehicle.
Later on, Dr. Nefario calls her off-screen to return the girls so that Gru can get the moon. She makes her final appearance when she tells Gru that she will return them and smacks him with a Spanish dictionary telling him she didn't like what he said. She gets the car ready to take the girls back to the orphanage and place them in the Boxes of Shame. It's unknown what happened to Miss Hattie after Gru recovered the girls, but she apparently did not succeed into getting herself money by making the girls sell cookies.
Personality[]
Miss Hattie looks to be a somber, severe, and indifferent woman in contrast to these qualities. Margo Gru, Edith Gru, and Agnes Gru are likely forced into child labor because Miss Hattie tells them to "go clean something of mine" before dismissing them.
Miss Hattie displayed her snobbishness and arrogance toward others when she checked online to see if Gru was a good person before he arrived to adopt the three kids.
Due to her lack of culture and political correctness, she misunderstood Gru's unintentionally harsh remark that her face looked "como un burro" (Spanish for "like a donkey"), which she initially took as a compliment before looking up the definition in a lengthy Spanish dictionary and saving it to eventually slap him in the face with.
Trivia[]
- Miss Hattie has the same voice actress as Lucy Wilde, who is ironically Margo, Edith, and Agnes' adoptive mother.
- Miss Hattie may have taken or sponsored salsa lessons, as seen on a sticker on her computer.
