    Steve Carell is good choice as Gru. Because we all know he is very good comedian it’s just to bad the minions constantly take the spotlight

    Honestly, Despicable Me isn't my cup of tea but it's still a classic movie in my childhood but I wish Megamind need more praise than what it deserve. They are both great but more like apples and oranges at its best.

    I was probably a bit harsh on Sing (Lorax is definitely worse in my opinion) but it was such an interesting, if flawed movie from Illumination that I stretched the "worst" category a bit to talk about it XD Plus I didn't want to repeat myself on Grinch or Lorax.

    • @ChakraWarrior2012

      Although Sing's probably not the best Illumination movie, it's rather unique in one aspect: It's a movie about a competition where the main character ISN'T one of the contestants.
      Unlike most movies involving a competition (which would only focus on the protagonist & their rival usually), nearly every major contestant has their own story & motivations for doing this. It's rather interesting how we see each contestant develop throughout the movie, also making it slightly less predictable about the outcome of the competition, as all of them are main characters.
      Although Buster's far from the best character, the movie definitely does something different, I'll give them that.

      That scene was weird, did they put drugs in the sausages?
      That's another reason why I prefer the second one 'cause it didn't have scenes that made the characters seem like they're on drugs.
      Or sausages that sing songs from musicals.

    For Universal’s animation studios:
    GKIDS > DreamWorks Animation > Illumination
    GKIDS is an arthouse distributor that mostly focuses on licensing foreign/indie/arthouse animated films and Universal distributes their films.
    They even licensed one live action movie that won tons of awards: Bong Joon Ho's Parasite.
    They also release TV series now, since they have A Town Called Panic, Future Boy Conan, Ronja: The Robber's Daughter, and Neon Genesis Evangelion (co-distributed with Netflix; Amazon Studios, however, has the Rebuild films).

      Mainly because Max was one of the most unlikable protagonists I've ever seen and I didn't even feel he redeemed himself at the end of the first, so I was glad they made him more likable in the 2nd. That and the way the movie's plot worked was how I thought the 1st would be, with multiple stories.
      Not the best, but a clear improvement compared to the 1st, at least in my opinion.

    For me the original Despicable Me is my favourite movie, since I really enjoy the chemistry with Gru and the children of Margo, Edith and Agnes (which the So Fluffy meme is one of my mum's favourite moments). Otherwise I enjoy Vector as a villain with his quirkiness and villainy that is put against Gru (sorry I'm not to big of a fan of El'Macho, since I didn't enjoy his character especially as a mystery on if he is evil or not).
    I hope if they ever do a 4th Despicable Me... they concentrate on the bonds of the Children, since I do feel they have become Side Characters (especially in the third film) which is a bit sad to me.

      Considering Miyamoto himself is gonna be an (I think) executive producer, I have high hopes. This could very well be Illumination’s Spider-verse! I too hope they bring in Charles Martinet to voice Mario (and Luigi if he’s also in the movie).

      Heck, even the so called original Disney films weren't actually all that original. Take the Lion King for example. The Lion King from 1994... it's turns out this was a rip off of an older Japanese animation called "Kimba the White Lion".
      My point is, I think we can agree that Disney have never been truly original.

    the Netflix series of Green Eggs and Ham hit that balance of having a moral about trying something new while also not demonizing being on the safe side. In many ways I consider it an improvement on the original story, and Secret Life of Pets 2 could have been a lot better if it learned to be balanced with it's moral in the same way.

    Apparently in Sing 2, Johnny the gorilla DOESN'T LOVE piano anymore; he will break dance or some crap like that. This likable character changes his hobby|passion for NO GOOD REASONS! He met a cat who can dance, is amazed then imediately asked her to help. That's it! It's rushed, makes no sense and is not developped. Thank's for ruining this charming character Illumination U-U Rosita have a fear of highs... which come out of nowhere and Mina the elephant is barely there. Also, Gunter the annoying pig is still there. Hooray!
    Hop, to me, is like the live Smurfs and Alvin movies; lame, really stupid and annoying. Nothing is fun and none of the characters are likable. I hate thoses movies XS Smurfs's lost village is nice though; not perfect but enjoyable.

    I noticed that Rise of Gru doesn’t seem to show too much with the Minions, in the trailer at least. Maybe Illumination caught on to the fact that people prefer gru to the minions. As far as I can see, Minions Rise of Gru, would be better of just being called Rise of Gru.

      Despicable Me, as a very financially/commercially successful franchise (whether people love or hate it), is definitely not over yet since not only are getting a Minions sequel, we are also getting a Despicable Me 4, and with that said, it’s a common (albeit negative) prediction that it’ll still go strong in the 2030s.
