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
Yeah, ever since Michael Scott from the Office.
*too
oh my god, stooooooooooooooooopppp
KATELYN SHELLOS LOUD NOISES
It's about time before gru stuffed all the minions in the crust
@Darth vader LMFAO
I just realized Despicable me almost 10 years old..... god I’m old.
What. The. Fuck.
P a r d o n
W h a t
*d a f u c k ?*
That hit me hard lol thx for making me feel old
Here’s my evolution of despicable me movies:
1: Nostalgic great movie
2: pretty good sequel
3: meh
Minions: oh god
Agreed desciable me 2 gets too much hate
puppetuppers it’s okay
I am alright with the first movie because it’s still pretty good, but the sequels... oh boy do I have a different opinion
Minions 2: FUUUUUUUUU--
sCarLeT oVeRkIlL
They're doing a Mario movie as well. Hope that turns out decently.
And that they have Yoshi included for at least 30 or 40 minutes.
That’s such a dumb idea it’ll probably be REALLY bad
Hopefully, they won't butcher it. I'd hate to see Nintendo deny others the ability to make other media from their franchises because of Illumination's mistakes.
If they are making Bowser a “good” guy then they will need a third villain or they could just not have Bowser in the movie at all.
Christian K considering Miyamoto’s at the helm, and how absolutely delightful Pikmin Short Movies was, I’m optimistic.
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 agreed with that.
Plus its Steve Carell vs Will Ferrel. As much as I love The Office and the 40 year old virgin, Will Farrell is a legend
I love despicable me and megamind
@@zachtemoro2116 Both of them are legends.
Why did you mentionned Megamind? Because it came out in the same year?
Well you can’t spell Illumination without Minion.

*Character development*
@Epic duck It's wasn't made by Illumination.
@Epic duck Oh. Sorry.
@@tylerfish2701 tell that to the community
@@claireglover1391 Given how toxic the fandom has been, would they listen? Just saying.
@laboman Steven Universe really hasn't aged well.
Remember when 40 year old Karen’s thought that despicable me was Disney?
Oh wait
*THEY STILL DO*
they think everything is Disney, almost everything is now
😏
😂😂😂😂yes, I’m sure they do
And when they throught that Despicable Me 3 was called Minions 3
Bruh really?
Personally, I think that Sing is one of the better non Despicable Me Illumination movies. It made me feel emotional at times which is more than can be said for the other movies.
EeveeStar 682 for me sing just made feel sort of stressed out, which seems like their intention but it didn’t have as satisfying of ending as i had hoped for
I definitely get that. It was the hardest choice of the list and I actually reversed the 3's a couple of times during writing. There's so much creativity in it but the focus on Buster the koala made it alot less fun than it could've been for me personally
Agreed, when it came out, Mom and I got obsessed with it.
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.
@@ChakraWarrior2012 Maybe in the sequel, Moon could've been a better protagonist who develops after the first movie. He's just a fine character in my opinion but he's a little flat that needs some work. Other characters like the pig, the porcupine, the gorilla, and other characters are great.
I just realised that secret life of pets is like Rio and secret life of pets 2 is like Rio 2 with to many plots see where I’m going with this
@Luke Mchugh I just pretended Rio and The Secret Life of Pets franchise were connected in some way to make both movies more entertaining
Oh alright 👍
Rio 3 and Zootopia 2 okay.... weird..
That’s so true tho
@@BigSmoke-xh5hi oh no ive lost hope that if they do make those movies i lost hope that they will be terrible
I'm so happy someone agrees with me that Despicable Me 2 is the best Illumination film. It was the perfect blend of fun, heart, and minions (before Illumination became greedy and started marketing them relentlessly) Anyway, great video and commentary on each movie!
imo the first 2 movies were the minions’ hayday. Not overmarketed to the point where you can’t avoid them, and just there to make the kids laugh with some quick slapstick.
I saw both movies in theatres and I was surprised to see the kids in the theatre actually paying attention to the movie.
Agree, their logo sequence in Sing is an awful rip-off from asdfmovie 6, wich came out 3 YEARS EARLIER.
Wouldn’t call Despicable Me franchise perfect, but wouldn’t call it bad either.
@@jakubn3809 asdfmovie!!
I rewatched the first 3 not too long ago,
Loved the first 2, but the 3rd was decent though (Dru was annoying but i loved the 80s-inspired villian)
Bully: brakes my pencil
Me: brakes bully’s spine
Me: you just got VECTORED!!!
Ok, now this is epic
Unorthodox Individual
i agree
**Insert jeffy vibes**
*DIRECTION AND MAGNITUDE*
Well, that escalated so quickly.
How come every single time Seth McFarlane voices a character, they have to be a jerk? Peter, Stan (kinda), and now Mike. Seriously, why?
ThatOneLoserAnimator /UA-camr and don’t forget Wayne from Aqua Teen Hunger Force
ThatOneLoserAnimator /UA-camr because Seth McFarlane is a jerk himself, plus he just has that "a-hole voice" so it works
ThatOneLoserAnimator /UA-camr Type casting
And Ted
*QUAGMIRE*
I actually like Sing. In my opinion it's one of Illumination's best!
Edit: wow, 8 months is not much but boy have my opinions changed
What was it even doing on the worst list instead of Lorax I wonder.
@@Disneyfan82 in the honourable mentions he said he didnt put it on the list because he didnt want to repeat himself
@@lawnorris5403 Well Sing is not a smart choice for the worst list.
I agree
In my opinion, Sing is ok. Not good, not bad, just ok.
I remember when Despicable Me 2 came out in theatres and I have to say that I enjoyed Lucy and Grus Relationship. The energetic and positivity of Lucy mixed the Heroic, Cranky, and Comedic Gru makes for a good couple in my opinion. I even loved the end fight scene.
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. Feel free to leave your own personal favourites/least favourites in the comments :)
PhantomStrider
Review Kaeloo please. Really underrated animated comedy
Can you do the Top 6 Best And Worst Nintendo Switch Games with Arlo please?
Coincidence the actor who play johnny the gorilla in sing it's the same person who played elton john in rocketman and the song that perform in both films i'm still standing
PhantomStrider I think I remember Minions being McDonald’s toys. That means u were right about commercialization.
Did you take a shot at JoJo Rabbit?
Hopefully the Mario movie ends up being really good and has a lot of variety in characters AKA no Sticker Star Syndrome
The Super Mario Bros movie should be stuck in the comic book storyline based on the original games.
I hope it is actually good and maybe have an end credits scene that ties in to a sequel or maybe even a Super Smash Bros movie
Since Miyamoto’s in charge, I’m sure he’ll make sure the movie is one worth watching and not be a cash grab.
Myamoto’s heavily involved in the project, so I have hope
Sticker star had a decent amount of different characters, the problem is that they all looked the same
Illumination after realising minions are marketable: "Time to bring me my money"
"How Bad could this possibly be?" -Illumination
Half-bad (sure, I can see why it has a bad reputation as painfully average for the kiddies and that’s because it pretty much is, but then again, the only Illumination film that actually has zero effort put into it unless it’s to be a corporate, kiddie POS is The Lorax. Hell, even Minions had a stop-motion scene, as brief as it was!).
I'm glad i'm not the only one who likes Dispicable Me 2.
That's my mom's favorite Despicable Me movie. And also, she loves the Minions.
The minions series is actually kinda trash be honest. It’s just kiddy and toilet humour, how could you find a one eyed yellow type alien shaking his bum funny? I know “humour is subjective” but you have to be a kid to enjoy this sort of humor
I like minions :3
@Mustiboi Salman true 👁️👄👁️👌
I also like despicable me 2
It's not just you, a lot of people hate the "minions" due to oversaturation
I hate it because of the horrid writing
@@em5345- i meant the characters
Then there's people like me who hated them with a passion when I first tried watching the movie
minion memes ruined the movie.
Those Minions may have been somewhat bearable back in 2010, but now, they're just overshadowing everything.
Sing would have been a top tier movie if they stuck the landing
Illumination tried to do something complex with Sing.
And they failed.
To save you some time, the whole list is essentially Despicable Me.
I've always had a soft spot for illumination. Despicable Me 1 was part of my childhood.
me too
Me too. But the Minions are the problem. They should be comic reliefs rather than promoting "cuteness".
@@poweroffriendship2.0 But they ARE comic reliefs
Same
Same and 2
I love Despicable Me 2. The evil minions were my favorite part of the movie because the idea of evil minions just seemed great to me. And El Macho was amazing. I found him funny and interesting.
The Screenslaver when I first watched it I thought Grews gf was gonna be evil 😂😂😂 I was 10
I actually like Purple Minions better than normal Minions, but that's probably because they were given less screen time.
@@disneyvillainsfan1666 Same here. The yellow minions stole the show far too much to the point that I can't stand them
Yes I love despicable me 2 too
The stars of the movie imo were deffiently El Macho and Silas Ramsbottom, hillarious characters
Apparently, Illumation is making a movie based on Super Mario Bros. in 2022.
EDIT: Trailer looks amazing. This might be the first really good Illumination movie since Despicable Me 2.
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).
I honestly thought Megamind was the better Villain Protagonist movie than Despicable Me.
Yeah they're both good just Megamind was the better of the two
Megamind is definitely the most underrated films ever
Definitely
The Paranormalist As a kid, Despicable Me felt better due to superior comedy but as a teen, Megamind feels better due to the subtle character details and twist on the hero and villain dynamic.
Megamind feels like an adult film dressed up as an animation for kids.
Gru: "El Macho! He was riding a shark, with 250 pounds of dynamite strapped to his chest, into the mouth of an active volcano!
His corpse was never found!"
Um.... did you actually search in the volcano?
Who would dive into a volcano?

Honestly, I never understood what anyone said in Despicable Me when I was younger, so when I watched it last month, I finally got some of the jokes or punchlines
I can't express how much I love the edit where he makes the minion commercial
I remember watching Secret Life of Pets with my mom. During the sausage scene she started singing the song which is a song from her favorite movie Grease.
Nah she just really loves Grease.
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.
Sláine Dale
I guess you can say it was a Sausage Party
The Screenslaver Yeah, but at least in the scene, there wasn’t anything inappropriate, it just looked incredibly weird.
Sláine Dale
True.
Well it’s nice too see a best list of illumination movies it’s usually well hated or so (for understandable reasons) as well as annoying the minions are I wish they have some movies that can be good as the First Despicable Me. Anyways nice video as always, Josh. ^-^
Mizuki Unrelated, but nice Hapi pfp.👌🏽
Thanks ^^
I agreed
I love your profile hapi is best Ashen wolves girl
i think i can define all 3 main minions of the minions movie!
Kevin - Kevin is the leader of the three, with lots of determination in his goal.
Stuart - Stuart is a minion that enjoys his music, but his hunger for bananas stands out to me.
Bob - Bob is the cheery, optimistic of the bunch, however, he does get a little reprehensive when he goes with Kevin and Stuart.
I think Illumination's films are slowly getting better I watched both Sing 2 and Minions: The Rise of Gru and thought that they were really well done. This gives me hope that the Mario movie becomes a success
It was, don't worry.
I just hope that Illumination doesn't mess up the Super Mario movie, making the Toads some Minions copy-cat.
At least it won't be a big flop, if Shigeru Miyamoto (the man behind the Super Mario franchise) supervises the movie. I want to give it some hope.
Lol. They will.
@@robertharris6092 what makes you feel that they will do it?
I'm pretty sure that if Miyamoto controls them every moment they can't make something Minions-level wrong.
The
W H A T
I predict the Goombas will be the Minion copy-cats, mostly because they're literally minions to Bowser, but also because their design is more uniform and simplistic (Toad has a simple design too, but the Goombas even more so).
Or they'll do both, because they hate us all.
@@AllyGatorAnimator being more acquainted with the RPG spinoff series, there are some "partners" who are enemies acting as companions towards Mario. I'm speaking of Paper Mario (N64) and The Thousand Year Door (GameCube)
Minions are just walking Homer Simpson heads
Eh, I'd say a disembodied Homer Simpson head with legs is more endearing than a Minion.
Welp, I am probably never gonna be able to unsee that
or yellow tic tacs with denim clothes
And they're about as bright, too.
More like walking pills
Best joke in Minions: when the British news reporter calls Bob "a small jaundiced child."
15:17 no joke, the theater I was in exploded into cheer when the camera panned up to a little Gru picking up that freeze ray
I prefer Sing over "Secret life of pets"
I think it will be good i prefer sing too
Sing is not that good, but okay.
I definitely get that. I reversed them twice during making. That was the toughest decision on the list
Oof same
@@EmmyV2002 I know! But singing and loveble characters (Not all of them but still), of course I'm gonna love this movie 😁.
But one thing the movie should have done to be better is making their side story and the characters interact more with each other.
I'm Honestly really looking foward to Illumination's Mario Movie, Since Miyamoto himself is at the head of the project.
Yeahhhhh I saw a dancing Goomba
Me too
O H ?
A dancing goomba..
You guys are acting as if a dancing goomba is a bad thing, imagine it's cute little legs waddling in a rhythm
there IS A Gru AS A kid movie coming out so that should be interesting.
It’s called Minions 2
Toxic Dilophosaurus Rex rise of gru
@@c.d.rstudios4691 Thx I actually didn't know what it was called.
@@c.d.rstudios4691 it's called minions: rise of gru
@@locomotivetrainstation6053 back then it was just called minions 2, guy booglaoo
To be honest, I loved Sing.
its ok in my opinion it wouldve beeen higher on my list if i didnt LOATHE singing
The movie is terrible in my opinions. Poor character design, not creative at all. (Compare it to Zootopia, they nailed the fact that these are animals and went full creativity). The message of Sing is unclear and meh. My opinion.
I do like the story of “Sing”. Of how a couple of overstressed and good people gone through bad situations turn into true winners, and I think it’s a bit cliched when some of them say they don’t want the prize money in the end. Maybe in the sequel, there will be new faces, new voices, and new stories for each and every one of them.
Me too. Glad to see someone else liking that movie.
Yeah I liked the movie too. Shame it’s underrated.
I love the movie
It was the finale movie with heart in the illumination line up
Honestly, Sing is one of the least bad Illumination films
Atleast it has a good message of follow your dreams. It's definitely flawed and average, but not bad like other Illumination movies.
I say the same with Sing 2.
Did- did Strider actually make fun of one of his favorite shows cuz it had such a dumb idea? I feel like I am in a better world!
Yeah.. I had very mixed thoughts on season 5. I try to keep my mouth shut about it nowadays though as there's alot of people who still enjoy SU all the way through. And I think it generally does way more good than harm.
@@phantomstrider I've heard from the community that just because they are not genocidal doesn't mean they are redeemed. A redemptive ark would be like Peridot's where over a course of a couple of seasons we see her change. Perhaps if we got insight on the in-between of Change your Mind and The movie we might see this ark
@@phantomstrider Yeah, I can agree to an extent. I do think, or at least hope, that Future will tackle this. Have you seen it yet? I really do enjoy Future so far.
@@peytonsimpson4518 well white is gonna be a villain in future so that could be an acceptable replacement
Edit: I stand corrected
2nd Spongi 124 there are many ppl now who doesn’t like SU after season 4, also, that dumb idea is just made worse by the hardcore fans that think the diamonds are cinnamon rolls 🙄
"I'm looking forward to Sequels like Minions 2" The Minions stood on the joker stairs. THEY DISRESPECTED AN ICONIC MOMENT!
I’d rank them
Worst:
3. Minions
2. Secret life of pets 2
1. Hop
“Best”:
3. Secret Life of Pets
2. Despicable Me 2
1. Despicable Me
I enjoyed Pets 2 more than the first, but I respect your opinion
Why Best on quotes?
Finally somebody that doesn’t complain about the Despicable Me movies!
the first one was good, but illumination definitely milked the shit out of the minions
@@izzythetrashposter5710 I agreed
Disregarding the spin-off.
we don’t mind at all if people say bad things about the DM movies because I’ve seen way better, but yeah, I’m glad PhantomStrider found his own reasons to praise the Despicable Me trilogy.
I liked the first two, the third was meh, but I gotta agree with Izzy. The minions were milked so much, it was kinda annoying
Izzy the Trashposter yeah I agree with that too, the minions were a cash grab. It’s just that nobody ever talks about the real main characters, like Gru, Lucy, or the three girls.
My least favorite animation studio. But their films are harmless even if they’re made just for money.
I’ve seen worse. - Scarlett Johansson (not as Ash the Porcupine, but as Black Widow in The Avengers)
But yes, I’ve especially seen better! - myself
I still enjoy watching some illumination movies
Finally SOMEONE thought that Despicable Me 2 is the best of the trilogy.
I like how they showed a Mexican villain
Same.
It doesn’t have too many stupid jokes and the evil minions
Made my toddler bravery drown in the sunken waters of dire dire docks
I definitely in this camp.
@@Chaos_867Agreed. I like despicable me 2 cause they finally have something like an evil minion. It's really creative and also funny.
There were a couple of moments I enjoyed from Secret Life of Pets 2. One was the catnip scene with Chloe where she became a stereotypical stoner. The second was the scene from the vet's office (again involving cats) with the two The Shining-esque kittens who liked to start fires. Their creepy smiles make me laugh.
Also, was anyone expecting The Minions to be groundbreaking or have a deep story when it was announced?
The minions are illuminations cash cows
Moooooo
No shit Sherlock
No shit
Thanks Captain Obvious
Minions are illuminations Spongebob
I knew secret life of pets 2 would be on the bad list, and I actually haven’t seen it
fr, fr. it just seemed so annoying that i didn't even bother watching it.
True
From my experience, while not the best movie, I was pleasantly surprised by it.
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.
I personally believe The Secret Life of Pets 2 is incredibly underrated, but that’s just my opinion
@FieryGarfield I honestly thought Max’s plot was the one I was most intrigued in watching, but that’s just me
18:19 you know shit is serious when he gotta bring out the music
Phantomstrider: sing isn’t that bad
IHE: BRU
Also PhantomStrider: Sing isn’t that good

@@bellablondon6172 a mediocre toy story
The second one’s better in my opinion
Sing is better than The Secret Life of Pets 1, but not number 2.
@Sláine Dale Agreed
Honestly, I thought that sing was one of the better illumination movies. I'm actually excited to see sing 2.
I’m sorry but The Secret Life of Pets Is a bland, pointless toy story clone that shouldn’t deserve to exist
its his opinion and I Hate Everything made an entire video dedicated to why Sing is technically bad
Yes, true, but then again, with The Secret Life of Pets 1 and Sing 1, 2016 did turn out to be one of the slightly better years of Illumination compared to 2011 (Hop), 2012 (The Lorax), 2015 (Minions 1), 2017 (Descpicable Me 3), 2019 (The Secret Life of Pets 2) and hopefully not 2022 (Sing 2, Minions 2 and the upcoming Mario movie if it’s not pushed back to later in the 2020s).

Has actually did an ok as a studio
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.
I know that I’m late but let’s be honest, nobody asked for a second TSLOP movie
I haven't seen Sing but I like how the gorilla sang my favorite Elton John song I'm Still Standing. Of course that's why his voice actor was chosen to be EJ in his movie Rocketman.
The gorilla in Sing was Johnny

CVictor The Editor 2020 AUTTP I still like Disney. I just don’t like when Disney takes things too far

I like the content Disney makes, but Disney is a monopoly at this point. And I thought monopolies we're illegal?
Borealis What do you mean by that?
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.
Unless it’s like Despicable Me 1 & 2 where they finally make the Minions go back to not sucking after all these years!
@@kieranstark7213 true
@@kieranstark7213 I really hope that happens
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.
Despicable me 2 was my favorite movie of all time
They aren’t potato men...
They’re made of macaroni.
Lemon-flavored Tic Tacs, the worst flavor of Tic Tac
Nope they are twinkies
You're making me hungry
10:52 Yeah for genocidal characters it's going to take a lot more time, and just more than talking to get them to change their minds. And it's incredibly hard. It could be possible but Steven universe showed it in a bad way or it was kinda pure luck that white diamond is sensitive about labeling.
For the movie sing, the only character that was kinda redeemed was Johnys dad even though I bet he still wants to commit crimes but atleast he kinda cares about him
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.
I really hope Illumination considers making a streaming show on Peacock about the pets going on many mischievous adventures! It has so much potential
I loved Secret Life of Pets 1 & 2. That being said, it was just an America-made version of Hamtaro.
I found Pets 2 to be my favorite Illumination movie, but that’s my opinion
Secret Life of Pets 2 is better than the first one in my opinion.

Pets 2 is incredibly underrated
*Top 10 Illumination Films (Ranked from Worst to Best)*
1. Despicable Me 1 (Good to great)
2. Despicable Me 2 (Massive mixed bag, but mostly strong)
3. The Grinch (Surprisingly passable)
4. SLOP (there is a reason why I’m using its initials, but at least it’s animation is like no other Illumination film)
5. Despicable Me 3 (Bad, but has its moments)
6. Sing 1 (like any other product of the last decade)
7. Hop (Well-animated, but STRONGLY wasted a highly interesting concept of being THE feature Easter film)
8. The Secret Life of Pets 2 (I KNEW WE DIDN’T NEED MORE SLOP!!!!!)
9. Minions 1 (IF ITS SEQUEL DOESN’T TURN OUT MUCH BETTER...)
10. The Lorax (BLEH!!!! PLEASE STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL!!!!!)
Kieran Stark nice ranking!
@@kev1n123 IKR!!!
@Kev1n's Lego Films It’s awful, The Grinch was shit compared to Pets 2
Secret life of pets is like a mashup of toy story and finding dory
Except not good
I actually like The Secret Of Pets 2 more than first one and i admit Despicable Me 2 is best Illumination.
Fun Fact: They are first second installments from the studio and they are my most favorite movies from the studio
I think Minions 2 actually looks okay.
I think it looks great
Luigi Marinus Gaming That’s the trailer, of course it looks good. All Illumination trailers are good because they’re all the best jokes with actually good pacing
@@aionicthunder it will be the Spider-Man into the spider verse of Illumination it might not take itself serious but i think it will be better than the first minions movie
hope it turns out decent for sure
PhantomStrider: Minions have somehow creeped into every demographic
Also PhantomStrider: I’m probably not the right demographic for minions.
Me: Sounds about right.
To be honest, I think Sing is one of the better Illumination movies. I mean, sure it’s definitely not perfect, but by Illumination standers, I thought it was pretty good, but that’s just my opinion : )
it’s my third favourite illumination movir
@@medicmain68 it's probably my favorite non-despicable me movie
I actually really liked Sing, I thought it was enjoyable! I also like Despicable Me 1 and 2.
TBH, I couldn't remember that many of these movies to give a top 6 for either side. But Despicable Me 1 is still gonna be my favorite as I legitimately like that movie, and the Minions were cute when this was all they were in, and Minions is the worst.
No
Yes
@@gloomix. No
Never
Still pretty curious to see how Illumination handles the Super Mario movie, even with Nintendo's/Miyamoto's direct involvement.
Hope they don’t make Princess Peach stand there doing nothing to be strong while fawning over a character!
Kieran Stark
It’s accurate
@@user-sd7qo7qe4v To????
Kieran Stark
She is meek, she wouldn’t be a strong character.
Oh that cant end well considering the reputation of Mario movies ontop of Illumination's reputation
"Minions are like a contagious disease, and we are all still searching for the cure!"
Quoting JoshScorcher: "Strider foreshadowed the CoronaVirus, but we didn't listen."
Here is the trailer for minions 2 , I hope it’s better: m.ua-cam.com/video/6n3pFFPSlW4/v-deo.html
19:31 Oh don’t worry, there’s a LOT of people who agree with you there
So, I'm pretty sure, almost everyone has heard about the news that Illumination and Nintendo are going to make a new Mario movie. (2022)
What do you all think about that?
Including you Strider. :D
I can't speak for everyone here, but personally I'm looking forward to it. I liked most of Illumination's work and I'm a huge Mario fan so the movie already got me interested, although there's no info aside from a possible release year.
Kassandra X2 I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think I heard somewhere that they're working with Shigeru Miyamoto on this film. I just hope that they get Charles Martinet to voice Mario!
Kassandra X2 oh no.
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).
I have high hopes because Myamoto’s gonna be heavily involved in the project
Aww, but I loved Sing.
And I have to admit, many characters, including Agnes and Bob, are super cute.
I do like Sing as well
Me too! I'm glad someone has the same opinion as me.
@@slainedale8032 Well I am glad that you like Sing as well
I liked Sing too
@@octoann I am glad you like Sing as well
Your analysis of sing was pretty good. The only issue I had with it is your viewing of the rat. He’s supposed to be an a-hole. They didn’t try to make him likeable.
The trailer to sing gave away the ending to every single character arc. Wow
Illumination is one of those movie companies that wants to appeal to the causal crowd.
You means Kids
@@animationrainritewolf8388 Not just kids, families.
I am glad that just like DreamWorks illumination is creating original movies. Where disney movies are mostly remakes
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.
Spike 32 YMS.
I really like “Sing!”
The Secret Life of Pets is basically a Toy Story knockoff.
Orion: Alternate History doesn’t make it bad just similar
@@puppetuppers4806 It's a really shameless knockoff. I mean, come on.
Max would still be a great dog for Woody, while Duke would be a great dog for Buzz Lightyear.
@@filmfan9352 lol
Disney wouldn’t want that trash. Professionals have standards even if it doesn’t seem like it sometimes
Considering they have Don Bluth's Thumbelina on Disney+, I wouldn't put it past them to try and capitalize off of the Minion craze.
slashermaster28 what craze? Everyone hates them now
Tf2 reference
but Disney has ruined many stuff in the past and mainly just cares about money really
@@Toon_Lucario only u do
Man I’ve never agreed with a list before! I definitely think Despicable Me 2 is the most entertaining!
You might wanna review the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Josh. Because as both an Illumination movie AND a video game adaptation, it'sa *wonderful!*
Sing
I thought it was a ok movie. Not one of the best non Disney movies, but still ok. That's all i can say.😅
And just like you said, it may not be zootopia but the characters are interesting.
The secret life of pets
I think this movie was pretty adorable and silly. And yea, it's just like toy story but with animals, so i did expected how the movie was gonna end with the two rival dogs becoming friends. I mostly laughed with snowball the bunny, and kevin hart was just hilarious voicing him ^^
Secret life of pets 2
Uuhhh... i thought it ok. Just ok. I prefer the first movie.
Despicable me
Honestly the best out of the trilogy and the best movie of illumination. And the minions were actually less annoying and more funny than in the other movies.
Hop
Saw it once... not a fan. Like i wanted to like it but it wasn't that interesting.
Despicable me 3
It was ok, i didn't mind gru's brother, i found him pretty funny since he is like the opposite of gru X3
The grinch
It's honestly sad how illumination didn't had guts to make the grinch creepy like the one from the chuck jones animated short and the jim carrey live action version. It was still a ok movie though, but i mostly prefer the chuck jones and the jim carrey versions.
The lorax
I used to love this movie but later on i stopped being a fan. So yea, i just don't find it interesting. The animated short version did way better job, especially with it's message and ending.
Minions
Me being a person who has mixed feelings for the minions, i do like the minions but i also agree with people who cannot stand them. Like it wasn't that important to give the minions their own movie... and that's the problem with illumination. They pay way too much attention to the minions instead of the characters who truly matter: gru, the girls and lucy. It's also just sad how there's way too much merch of the minions instead of gru and his family.
Despicable me 2
Oh my gosh yes!!! We all know that the first movie is the best, but to me the sequel will be my top favorite. It was so nice in seeing what a sweet caring dad gru has become. And his relationship with lucy was just freaking cute! El macho was a pretty fun villain but he also had a threatening side too during the third act. So yea, it's a pretty fun movie 😙
