One of the most entertaining scenes in any movie I've watched. The image doesn't quite capture it, but for people who haven't seen the movie, the giant Megamind head is made of a bajillion of his personal robot drones, and he has it unfurl its tongue so he himself can walk out onto it like a carpet to deliver his line.
