Yes, believe it or fucking not, after SEVEN LONG YEARS, I can finally say that this studio has produced a movie that, in the long run, I'd say that I enjoyed. Having said all of that, and going back to my original point, I haven't enjoyed a single Illumination Entertainment movie yet. Illumination doesn't have a great movie under their belt yet. Sony Animation has Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Even Blue Sky Studios has The Peanuts Movie and Horton Hears a Who. In short, I really do think that Illumination Entertainment has been the worst American animated movie studio. I hated the Minions movie with a passion. They could make the worst movie known to man and it'd still rake in hundreds of millions dollars of merchandise sales from the Minions. You can't, right? That's because DM is a franchise that exists to sell more Minions merchandise. Name important DM character that isn't Gru? Without using Google naturally. Despicable Me, as a franchise, is totally overrated, the Minions are the stars of that film. I guess what I should really say is that I haven't enjoyed a single one of their films. What's good to me might be terrible to someone else and vice versa. I've also given them shit for the fact that, in the ten years they've been around (company was created in 2007 and their first movie, the aforementioned Despicable Me, came out in 2010), they haven't produced one good movie. I hate the Minions and I've hated them since the first Despicable Me. But I digress, let's move on to this film shall we? I've given Illumination Entertainment a lot of shit over their asinine creation, the merchandising bonanza that are the Minions and how insufferable they are. That was definitely one of the best animated movies I've seen in quite a while, at least from an American studio. I'd like to fix that statement and say that I forgot last year's incredible Kubo and The Two Strings. I remember writing in that review that we haven't really gotten a real masterpiece of American animation since The Lego Movie. I'd like to go back to something I said in my review of Trolls almost two months ago. But it was so bad, with awful acting, that I shut it off and watched the first four episodes of Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later instead. On Friday I started watching a sci-fi film called Taking Earth.

Movie I watched on Thursday was The Number 23, which I've already seen and don't feel like re-reviewing it for Letterboxd. Been almost three days since my last review.
