Reasons Why Illumination Entertainment Sucks
I once told my aunt that I didn't like Despicable Me, and she said: "But these animated movies are mainly for kids, so go a little easy on them." Do you want an ultimate example of animation being for everybody, regardless of age?
One word: Pixar
Since Toy Story, Pixar has made stories that people can relate to, with beautiful animation, interesting characters, and most importantly, they treat their audiences seriously, and challenges them. Illumination Studios is continuously lowering the standards for animated movies because they are lazy, lifeless, but their harmless. Because of that, millions of people worldwide are giving them the benefit of the doubt because "their for kids." No. We can't have that. Walt Disney once said that you're dead if you make animation ONLY for kids. Don't lower your standards. The children of this planet are much smarter than you give them credit for.
At least Illumination has heartwarming moments. I think Sony Animation thinks that animation is only for kids.
Just like Sony Pictures Animation.
In all fairness though, every animation studio falls foul of a similar problem. Some people find Jiminy Cricket annoying and wished Pinocchio would kill him with a hammer (that's what happened in the original text after-all). Others find Tweety Bird annoying and root for Sylvester to eat that squeaky voiced canary.
The minions are alright. They made funny shorts about them.
They speak nothing but gibberish
These guys are repetitive.
Wait until you guys find out that The Secret Life of Pets has their own rip off movies now such as Pets United, The Funny Life of Pets, and Funny Pets 2!
It also ripped off Barnyard and Oliver & Company.
Everything they make is entirely manufactured. They don't care about the art. They don't care about telling compelling stories. All they care about is the coin, and they get said coin by making basic, boring films that are specifically designed to get as many people as possible to hand them their money.
While I like Despicable Me and its sequel, Illumination Entertainment should really try to come up with more high-quality and original movies that aren't just made to earn profit. It isn't always about the money when it comes to animated movies. They need to have quality as well.
Look at Sing. It's literally animals singing popular songs. You know what it is.
Sing and The Secret Life of Pets are only made just for money.
More like overshadowing Universal Animation Studios. Because I personally think that studio had a whole lot of potential until they made it a sequel spewing zombie. The Curious George and Land Before Time franchises will never match Minions at this rate.
Actually DreamWorks is independent they just go to other studios to be under their brand that's why they moved from fox DreamWorks isn't owned by universal
I know Universal Pictures hasn't DISTRIBUTED any DreamWorks Animation films yet, but they just acquired the studio recently.
That's actually true.
Their movies are completely different styles from Disney or Pixar. They are not wannabes. They do their own thing.
So you're saying that there can't be other animation studios?
The character design in most Illumination Entertainment movies are too weak, cartoony and disgusting. The only Illumination Entertainment movie with GCI that does not hurt our eyes is Hop, one of their weaker movies besides The Lorax. Luckily, the character animation is controlled, realistic, swift (Taylor Swift is in The Lorax, and she reasonably sucks now) and unlimited. Another good main aspect of the animation is the backgrounds, which have a lot of personality to it, show that Illumination Entertainment actually has a brain and is too good for its CGI. - The Ultimate Daredevil
Very poor and almost cheap looking CGI animation, even for western animation standards. While it may look good at times, it can look really ugly due to how cartoony it is, but that doesn’t excuse that the fact the animation is cheap and simplistic.
The animation for the character designs and expressions is also very ugly and outdated.
In other words, you can tell that the animation is overly-detailed.
The lorax was good, but the one with illumatiin? Hell no! The grinch 1966 was good, the grinch 2000 sucked and was the worst, Jim carrey sucks and is gay. The grinch 2018 sucks
Sort of. They changed the story quite a bit.
They will ruin the Grinch as well
The Minions were their mascot. Sooner or later, they will obviously make a sequel to their spin-off movie.
Laika isn't owned by Universal.
Kubo and the Two Strings was way better than most of I.E.'s movies.
Sony: Duh, kids like stuff. Emoji. Pixar sucks!
Illumination: Well we make smart stuff. We even are smart. 2+2=6. 3+3=2. 1+1=4. 4-4=8! Pyramids are cube shaped. Poor people are gay!
Pixar: Well are stuff is timeless. Oh, and minions are annoying.
Illumination: But Lady Gaga has black hair! You made cars 2. WE made Sing!
Pixar: Sing sucked, big time!
Sony: Yeah, even we admit it made Fant4stic look like "Toy Story".
Illumination: Oh, go suck sand baby
Pixar: Dead meme
Illumination: Argh!
Yeah, even worse. The emoji movie would look like Toy Story to an Illumination executive. At least Sony Had a humble beginning and made "Surf's up". I know only 2 good movies from Illumination. And Sing is my least favorite animated movie.
Blue Sky: Stop copying my Art, Illunination
I.E.: Look at Pixar!, He is trying to copy your Ice Age and Rio moments in their movies!
Blue Sky: What?! (Looks at Pixar) Pixar!
(Illumination steals their ideas)
I.E.: I'm going to use Rio for Sing, Ice Age for the grinch, and Robots for my Mario movie!
Sony: Can I get some too? , I want to make my Emoji movie 2 and 3!
I.E.: Sure!
Sony: Yaay!
At least illumination is better than making garbage like the emoji movie
Let me guess, El Macho?
Why would you hire the creator of Family Guy to be in that movie?
Not really. It's actually really good and it sticks to the story. But I respect your opinion anyway.
This wasn't the first time Universal ruined the Grinch.
After that will be mario
All they did is hold up the level of mediocrity.
In my opinion, that's way too harsh for Illumination. Honestly, the only good films are Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Minions ( Don't hurt me! ), Despicable Me 3 ( Same as Minions) and The Grinch ( O don't know what you guys think of that film)
I liked Sing, but the rest of IEs movies, besides Despicable Me, I don't like.
Why would you hire the creator of South Park to be in that movie?
