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.

Why Best on quotes?

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 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.

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.

there IS A Gru AS A kid movie coming out so that should be interesting.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 😙
