First part Previous part

This room had a lot of interesting concept designs; here's a few I could find:

The balls in the background of the final version are moving.

Also lobby concept art below. Not an exhaustive list by the way. For more, I recommend checking out Travis Ruiz's instagram.

Looks like Belle and Jean were almost fully-realised when this was drawn; however, the two villains behind them were scrapped. Handpuppet guy is called Gee-Wiz; he appears in an instruction video for the Minion Blast ride at Universal. Alien guy appears as a figurine in Poppy's treehouse.

You fall down there, you're done for. How is this the bottom floor? There must be something down there, right?

They don't look very convinced. Belle leans over a bit to get a better view.

Jean-Clawed makes this face (😬) when Gru's talking; clearly realisation that he just brought in a kid for interview. I think his look of concern is less for Gru and more for himself. He chews his thumb in worry.

JC glances at Belle as Wild Knuckles is mentioned. She scowls.

If Gru is 11 3/4 in January, his birthday would be around March/April time.

Just this shot. It was at this moment he knew, he fked up. Obviously this whole exchange tells us JC was responsible for sifting through applications and sending out the interview invitations. He looks up in a 'crap' kinda way.

Jean also took over Belle's second-in-command position when WK was usurped as implied by his position at her right. He's literally her right-hand- or rather, right-claw- man.

After seeing this post, I realised that I am not alone as an observationist. Today I decided to share my observations on BBJC,enjoy!

They had interacted before this, but I'll put it in the bonus section

During this, Belle was listening to Wild's call, and Jean was alr looking at Belle before this and thus eye contact

During the murder of Wild, they're at each other side and when Belle was mocking Wild, Belle looked back and this causes Jean to back up a bit

After that he laughed and grinned, implementing that he might had enjoyed it

After the death of Wild, we'll notice that The V6 switched places, and yes, they're at each other sides

This is probably the only angst scene between them, Belle is angry at Jean due to him bringing a kid up to this interview. But she just asks him 'what's wrong with you?' and that's it after he replies

Oh, and also this (she might have mocked Jean)

After Wingman jetpack malfunctioned, they wanted to drag him down. In this scene, Jean hugged/supported Belle, implementing that they were very close

They chase down Gru together after Sven, Strong and Nun-Chuck failed, despite Jean being scared, he still goes with her(also, Jean was the only one that held Belle's chain in this movie)

After Gru entered turbo mode, Jean jumped and attempts to stop the bike, teamwork!

After Jean had fallen down, Belle walked quickly to him

JC said N—, knowing it was.
