The first two Despicable Me were good. There was a narration and Gru's relationship with his adopted daughters was highlighted. It was from the 3rd where the franchise began to decline. The villain was good but the movie felt like a hodgepodge of several shorts stuck together. Inside Out has so far had a solid sequel as well and a short and the reason it worked is because the studio really wanted to make something with the film. Pixar didn't just want to make a sequel to Inside Out, they wanted to tell something deeper
The first despicable me movie is only very fun because it has alot of charm and a lot of heart. Despicable Me 2 also has a lot of heart. Despicable Me Rise of Gru is so much fun because of Gru and the one he teamed up with. The characters is the reason the films were fun in the first place and in the new Despicable Me movie they don’t make the characters do anything interesting.

It’s true unfortunately, you can thank Disney, Pixar, dreamworks and illumination for that. It’s not intentionally their fault but they pretty much only make movies for children (all ages but specifically kids) and no one makes animated films for adults
That's a Helluva lie. It Hazbin for quite some time. Animation shines like an Opal, for kids and adults alike. Have all these people sniffed some Bojack, or what?
What I like is that these 2 studios are completely different. Pixar is for amazingly storylines and emotional moments. Illumination is for having fun and getting a good laugh. I like having a studio for both and wouldn’t change the style of either
If Illumination wants to be the animation studio that focuses on comedic movies that look good, I have no problem at all. I acknowledge that movies can just simple and fun, which is why I liked the first two Despicable Me films and the Super Mario Bros movie a lot. But I just feel like Illumination is slipping on their own supposed strengths
@@MarngelRambles I think the 3rd and 4th movies were about as good as the second but not as good as the first. Rise of Gru was also good and I did like both Secret Life of Pets and Sing movies. The only 2 I consider mid are Migration, which wasn’t amazing and Hop which is the definition of mediocre
I agree with you, while there are some films from Illumination I do enjoy like the first two Despicable Me movies and The Super Mario Bros Movie, the studio mainly plays it safe and not really take any risks. Which is why Pixar is easily the clear winner because a lot of their movies not only beloved by critics and audiences, but some are even considered as part of the best animated movies of all time. Also, the more I think about it, the quality that Illumination that has with most of their films, is similar to what Sony Pictures Animation had before the released Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, where most of their films were honestly mediocre at best and go way too over the top with its comedy and animation. Unlike nowadays where the animation studio is being experimental with not just their animation, but also with their storytelling.
@@LoreGamerTV sucess after sucess? ERR wrong. Illuminations last best movie was 13 years ago the time mario movie released. Dont lie illumination does NOT make good movies (except for minions 2 and the whole sing franchise)
As a fan of both animation companies, I honestly agree that both have their positives and weaknesses: Pixar’s animation is more emotional and goes for more “out of the box” ideas, while Illumination has more grounded storytelling and focuses more on the comedic side. The negatives however, are also noticeable: Pixar has a sort of hit-or-miss (mostly hit) reputation, and Illumination stays more to their already impressive brands.
I personally think that comedy is overrun in animated films. Disney is particular has significant amounts of comedy even in serious films, sometimes breaking the atmosphere.
@@skyenight-by8yh It can, but sometimes it's a hinderance. For example, most people think the comedy from the gargoyles in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" killed the serious atmosphere, and one of the writers of "Raya and the Last Dragon" said they decided against making the film a musical because it would take away from the seriousness--except the film had a significant amount of comedy, so that doesn't track to me.
Weren't people like 5 months ago saying how Illumination and Dreamworks are better than Disney/Pixar? They did, and now that Illumination and Dreamworks both released ONE bad movie, people are back to shitting on them. The truth is, none of the studios are better than any other. Sometimes they make good movies, sometimes they make bad movies. EVERY studio has a bunch of movies that are mediocre or just bad, but that doesn't mean the studio is "hopeless and dead". They can just make another movie that maybe can turn out to be masterpiece. I'm pretty sure this or next year dreamworks or illumination will make a movie that will turn out to be at least decently good, and everyone will start giving them a ton of praise again, until they make a bad movie and the cycle will just keep repeating.
Exactly I was BAFFLED that people seriously thought that Illumination was somehow better than Pixar after ONE decent movie that got carried by its IP (It likely still would've done well anyway without the mario IP because Illumination are admittedly the masters of advertising but not to the extent).
@@jamesgiles4517 Yeah, this is one of the main reasons i despise these "movie reviewers" on youtube. Their opinions change constantly every milisecond.
Not every animation studio has to make a smash hit animated masterpiece. They would sometimes have a financial failure, critically panned films, or ones that are mid. That's business, my friend.
Dreamworks is definitely my favorite animation studio, I do love Pixar. Although I would say that their worst is worse than the worst of Illumination. Dreamworks is about how each one of their franchises are not the same. They feel like they really were made by someone passionate and not the same guy over and over. Pixar has a specific style but is still a great style. Both studios are different, and I don't think it's fair to compare them.
For me, I honestly don't trust DreamWorks after what they did to Kung Fu Panda 4 and Megamind 2. Also, have you heard Walt Dohrn (Director of Trolls Trilogy) is set to direct Shrek 5?
@@slytherinmember1009 Megamind 2 wasn't made by Dreamworks, it was made by Dreamworks Television Animation. People should stop using that as an example. KFP 4 was awful, though. As for Walt Dohrn directing Shrek 5, he did voice Rumpel in Shrek Forever After. And he was a lead animator on that. Besides, Dreamworks directors are hit and miss.

@@slytherinmember1009 Oh, I know Shrek 5 will probably be bad. But I'm hoping it's just a fun reunion with the casts of Shrek and Puss in Boots. Dreamworks Television Animation is owned by the main company, but it's pretty much its own thing. I'm sure KFP 5 will bad, and I agree. KFP 4 was awful, 5 will be worse. The live-action HTTYD will be bad, and it is stupid to race-swap Astrid. But that's not Dreamworks, that's Universal. I believe that movie will flop.
@@bowserbreaker2515 That's One of the Reasons why I don't trust DreamWorks but Universal still owned DreamWorks so The Live-Action Remake HTTYD is still from DreamWorks. It's a Partnership of Universal and DreamWorks. Why can't DreamWorks say No to the Live-Action Remake of HTTYD like what Pixar say No about Remaking their own films.
Illumination may not be the best animation studio, but at least they have some great movies. In my opinion, Pixar has released a bunch of amazing movies and very few misfires. I mean, come on, The Mario Bros Movie was fantastic! Edit: And you gotta give them credit for being against AI.
I think that both Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 are good movies. Inside Out 2 is funny, relatable, and has a refreshing story. It was a huge W for Pixar and was more than deserving of grossing over 1 billion dollars. Despicable Me 4, while not quite as memorable, was still a fun watch. The new characters (Maxime le Mal, Poppy, Gru Jr., etc) were a charming new addition to the story. The best part was probably at the end where we see all the antagonists from the previous Despicable Me/Minion movies. It brought a lovely conclusion to one of the most iconic franchises of the 2010's!
I feel like Poppy was slay but took away some much needed screentime from Lucy and the gworls that could have been much more valuable.... also gru getting blackmailed by children... why not be blackmailed by his own children, not some random one....
Yeah Animation is Cinma But it doesn't hurt have some fun flims And we'll am not A huge Illumination fan but I did enjoy there flims Like Despicable Me 1-4 Sing 1 & 2 The Secret Life of Pets 1 & 2 Miragration And the Super Mario Bros Movie
4:00 I think Sony’s another great example of being inconsistent with animated films. One day Sony will release a Spiderverse level amazing film, the next day Sony will release an Emoji Movie level or an Angry Birds Movie 2 level bad movie.
I watched both movies and they were pretty good. Inside Out 2: Riley is 13, new emotions show up and a lot of stuff happens Despicable Me 4: new villain, Gru has a son (I think) and a lot of stuff happens So in conclusion: both are really good movies imo
I think you could make a much stronger argument for Pixar over Illumination with any of their golden age films. The very best of Illumination doesn't even compare to the best of Pixar, no question. Call me cynical, but I thought there was a lot of missed potential with Inside Out 2. I'd still say it's exactly on par with Inside Out 1 in many aspects, but it doesn't tread any new ground writing-wise.
Illumination has characters that are not deep but are funny. They have many billion-dollar movies even though the content is not so excellent. IIlumination's movies often have technological elements. Pixar is influenced by Disney, its storytelling style is gentle, and the graphic quality is nothing to criticize. It's just a shame that Pixar is sometimes too greedy in trying to make the story humane, so it sometimes fails.
I find myself kind of enjoying Illumination’s films. It is not like they make films that are beyond obscene. I will hope that one day they will pleasantly surprise us with something different. Very good, fair review of both studios.
Same with me. Pixar and Illumination are completely different and I like it that way. Pixar is for great storylines and meaningful movies, Illumination is for having a great time and a good laugh
My friend and i saw inside out 2 and despicable me 4 and she said that despicable me is way better than inside out 2 which i completely disagree, but that's just my opinion
In my country, Despicable Me 4 has yet to come out (late August), but honestly, I still find this saga fun and it was part of my childhood (never really grew up with Pixar or Dreamworks movies, with small exceptions here and there like Cars, Monsters University and Shrek Forever After, the latter being also the first movie I've ever watched in a theatre) so I'm really fond of it. Probably it has childish comedy and I may be too old for that (I'll turn 21 in a week and when the first came out I was 7) but it still has a special place in my heart.
It bothers me that Despicable Me 4 pushed Inside Out 2 to second at the box office. Kids would rather be hopped up on candy than be intellectually challenged. 😒
I quite agree with this video. I rarely enjoy Illumination movies and they are not the most thought provoking. I came to the conclusion that they do not make movies as art but solely as a quick money grab. Anything Pixar-esque Illumination tries nowadays, it gets glossed minutes later or forced near the end. I have grown to love Pixar over time and that brand loyalty pushes me to watch the movies more. On the other side, I just push Illumination aside as I'm not interested enough to keep up with their catalogue.
@@heroce974 I did but Inside Out 2 is not my type of movie. I never loved the first one as much as some but that was still good and better than the second one which was mid in my opinion. Despicable Me 4 was not perfect and though I liked it I can see how it (and the whole franchise in general) is not for everyone. IO2 had the better plot but I simply had a much better time watching DM4, giving it the higher spot.
Inside Out 2 doesn’t feel like a movie. It feels like an episode of an animated show just like how Toystory 4 feels like an episode of an animated show. Honestly Soul is more deserving of those box office numbers. Soul is an amazing film about enjoying life even when you don’t have a plan.
Your an adult and these movies are for kids why are you even watching them. How about you stop expecting every animated movie to be made for you and watch something your own age.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoy the movie however you like it! But personally, it could have been better, like what we saw with the first two Despicable Me films
I am worried that Illumination is heading the way of Blue Sky: Always focusing on one popular film IP half the time, and rarely making room for new properties or adaptations (like Horton Hears a Who, The Grinch, The Peanuts Movie and The Super Mario Brothers Movie) the other half of the time. If Despicable Me 5 goes sideways, whatever new non-Despicable Me film that Illumination has planned to come out after that might just be their new version of Spies In Disguise - a good film to watch that makes a decent new film property, but is not amazing enough to save Blue Sky/Illumination from eventually shutting down two years later.

Is it just me or did anybody else actually prefer Despicable Me 4 to Inside Out 2.
Edit: I have since changed my mind. I like them equally
I liked both
I did
I though both were pretty good
I saw both and was like there's no way someone prefer DM4 to IO2
@@heroce974 I did but Inside Out 2 is not my type of movie. I never loved the first one as much as some but that was still good and better than the second one which was mid in my opinion. Despicable Me 4 was not perfect and though I liked it I can see how it (and the whole franchise in general) is not for everyone. IO2 had the better plot but I simply had a much better time watching DM4, giving it the higher spot.
Inside Out 2 doesn’t feel like a movie. It feels like an episode of an animated show just like how Toystory 4 feels like an episode of an animated show. Honestly Soul is more deserving of those box office numbers. Soul is an amazing film about enjoying life even when you don’t have a plan.
I also like pixar and Disney and illumination
Stop hating on Despicable Me 4
@@OwlBloodandHoneyII yes, finally someone who actually liked that movie
I already knew despicable me 4 would be mid when i saw the trailer
It's not
@@DespicableMax21 Ok Buddy
Your an adult and these movies are for kids why are you even watching them. How about you stop expecting every animated movie to be made for you and watch something your own age.
He can watch them if he wants they are for everyone
Can we just agree that Despicable Me 4 was skibidi?
It was quite the opposite for me: I loved Despicable Me 4 and though Inside Out 2 was mid
How old are you?
@@Bananagema why do you need to know
@@DespicableMax21 just to see if im right.
@@Bananagema Just because I liked a certain movie better than another doesn't mean I'm a kid, It's just my preference.
@@DespicableMax21 inside out 2 is peak cinema and every knows it. Despicable me are for little kids who don’t know what capitalism is.
For me its the opposite, i thought inside out 2 was ok and I enjoyed Despicable me 4 alot (listen I love that franchise ok? I'm biased I'll admit it)
same
and I also admit I am biased to the franchise; I mean look at my username and pfp
I Do. I Read the Channel Description. It’s Me.
I Was the One Who Read It.
(Also love your Marcy profile 💚)
It’s sad hearing Despicable me 4 be hated. I liked it😢
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoy the movie however you like it! But personally, it could have been better, like what we saw with the first two Despicable Me films
Same. It possibly could have been slightly better, but any Despicable Me film is a masterpiece
Same, I thought it was good
people also like drugs and junk food.

Illumination is better than all those studios
@@DespicableMax21 Says the guy with a Despicable Me PFP, grow up kid
@@DespicableMax21 seems like u've got a severe brainrot 💀
Both illumination and dreamworks are better than disney and pixar
Says the one with the Mickey Mouse picture. Also do you really think that Megamind 2, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Despicable Me 4 are better then Inside Out?
Pixar is good but not Disney
Will yay I'm not saying disney and pixar are bad, and also those 3 movies are better than inside out 1 but not 2 but two sha
Him: Pixar is the best.
DreamWorks: Am I a. Joke to you?
Disney is flopping now. And also Shrek 5
@@MINOAS-yr8wg L take
Ruby Gillman, Trolls Band Together and Kung Fu Panda 4 all arrived to mediocre reviews. And there hasn't been a good Shrek movie in nearly 20 years.
@@thunderpantz Kung FU Panda 4 receieved positive reviews you dummy
I am worried that Illumination is heading the way of Blue Sky: Always focusing on one popular film IP half the time, and rarely making room for new properties or adaptations (like Horton Hears a Who, The Grinch, The Peanuts Movie and The Super Mario Brothers Movie) the other half of the time. If Despicable Me 5 goes sideways, whatever new non-Despicable Me film that Illumination has planned to come out after that might just be their new version of Spies In Disguise - a good film to watch that makes a decent new film property, but is not amazing enough to save Blue Sky/Illumination from eventually shutting down two years later.

If that happens then be prepared for even more AI Art of Porsha Crystal whether you like it or not.
Did you forget migration
It is different, Despicable Me 3 and 4 got far better reviews than Collision Course and it’s not even close
@@Operager Yes, but I am thinking about the future, in case Despicable Me 5 does not get far better reviews than Ice Age: Collision Course. July 15, 2024, 3:05pm
@@adampkalb I think the reviews will be better. I actually like Ice Age 4 but the reviews for that are still worse than any Despicable Me
Garfield movie is better than despicable me 4
Despicable me 4 is nothing but a abomination understand
@@NanakPrasad-be4yi no, it’s actually very good
@@DespicableMax21 no its very bad I watched it and it's boring mam people say kung fu panda 4 is bad but that movie had only one problem its villain nothing more and despicable me 4 just doing nothing it villain is really nonsense way more than kung fu panda 4 villain my opinion
I remember I had an argument with my mother once. I said "I personally think the first Ice Age was the best because of the heavily mature and adult story it told." and she answered "yes but the newer ones are better looking."
That's it?
flatearthers exist, racists exist, people who can't comprehend movies also exist. we cannot change that, unfortunately.
@@jøy_what_riley_loves_the_most You want to know what else exists: Opinions. But obviously your too immature to understand what that is.
@@Operager Looool, it's fine to have wrong opinions, but they are still wrong nonetheless
@@jøy_what_riley_loves_the_most Opinions aren’t right or wrong, That’s literally what separates fact from opinion. Also comparing racists to people who like Despicable Me is absolutely insane
@@Operager opinions can be wrong when facts are already established. people believe the earth is flat. it's their opinion, their belief... which happens to be wrong.
There is a difference though. If you liked the movie, it's fine, it's your preference, and preferences are subjective. However, movies are good, mid, bad, etc. and that's objective. I don't have a problem with u claming that you liked dm4, but i do have a problem with you claiming that you believe dm4 is better than inside out 2 or a good movie in general, bc it's not. you are wrong.
