All 15 Illumination Movies, Ranked
Where does Despicable Me 4 sit inside the house that the Minions built?
They may often be critically perceived as Pixar’s lesser cousin, but the folks over at Illumination can dry their tears with the stacks of money made by massive worldwide hits like Sing, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Despicable Me, which sees a fourth chapter in its quest for animated domination in July. Illumination has a bad habit of taking what works about a hit and merely turning up the volume in a sequel, which is the case with the louder Sing 2 and the more hyperactive Secret Life of Pets 2, a movie that has some fun moments but ultimately gets weighed down by dividing its characters into competing subplots that never quite develop. Yes, you can sit back and say that the villain Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) is pretty weak and that this series loses something by not having Carell involved, but you can also turn off that critical part of the brain and enjoy another tale of the yellow underdogs with an unshakable belief that they are on this earth to serve evil.
