"Despicable Me" is one of my favourite movies from my childhood. I love Gru's bond with the girls.

[olvialee]

From Illumination’s HOP to DreamWorks’s Dog Man. I’ve now seen 32 movies by myself and I love it.
For Illumination, I’ve also seen Minions: The Rise of Gru by myself while my friend and grandma watched Barbarian

[PropellerMarioBros]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Despicable Me, and Sing are my favorite movies from Illumination!

[krististarosta]

I love Despicable Me1, 2, & 3 and Sing 1 & 2! But I really love The Super Mario Bros. Movie!

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

‘Sing’ is also my personally favorite as well. 😁

[olvialee]

I love Disney, Pixar, Don Bluth, DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, Blue Sky, Sony Animation, LAIKA, Illumination, Warner Bros. Animation and Studio Ghibli. I can’t just choose one, I grew up watching animation and I love the HECK out of it

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

I ❤ the first ‘Despicable Me’ movie.
As Super Mario video game fans, we were impressed by this year’s ‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ made good money and the song “Peaches” isn’t that bad as well. 😊

[Ingenuity]

Steve Carell is goat level with his voice acting for Gru.

[BowserMovies]

I wasn’t sure about Illumination at first but now I’m used to it thanks to my favorite Illumination film: “The Super Mario Bros Movie.” Now we just need a sequel with Bowser Junior.

[olvialee]

Sing at number two? I am screaming in excitement! My dad was in major shock of Seth McFarlane’s rendition of My Way and I love Scarlet Johansson’s Set It All Free. One thing though, the theater I went to didn’t have a theater stand of snacks but I loved it!!!!

[TheImaginator]

I totally enjoyed Illumination Entertainment with my favorites The Grinch, Sing 2, Despicable Me, and The AWESOME Super Mario Bros. Movie!

[heroboygamebase]

I'm glad Illumination made a Mario animated movie. Better then the live action film.

[olvialee]

YES!!! Sing 2 is high on this list. I just love the soundtrack and I find it out of this world.
Taron Egerton’s A Sky Full of Stars is badass,
Halsey’s Could Have Been Me is uplifting,
Tori Kelly and Pharrell Williams’s I Say A Little Prayer is gorgeous,
Reese Witherspoon and Nick Kroll’s Break Free is electrifying,
and Scarlet Johansson and Bono’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For is outstanding

[olvialee]

Ever since Despicable Me came out in 2010, I loved drinking Minionade, different version of lemonade and you’d get it from IHOP

[olvialee]

137: I loved reading Dr. Seuss as a kid. I thought Illumination did a fun job to have The Lorax as an animated musical, which by the way has a great villain song and I like it

[joshuagorski]

Despicable Me 1-2: THAT’S WHY THEY’RE THE 🐐S!!! THE 🐐S!!!

[olvialee]

HOP is the first movie I saw in theaters by myself. I was 12 years old at the time.

[jacobmaverickbueller.]

I hope The Super Mario Bros Movie will win at The Oscars in 2024.

[grayshigami]

This ranking should have been like the one by Schaffrillas, from best to worst because it's obvious which is their best movie
