It’s Illumination. They’re the worst animation company really ever and cut every corner both narratively and animation wise they can. They really, really suck.

I mean two years ago they made Sing and the Secret Life of Pets... no question they got overly drunk on a writer’s retreat and then submitted Toy Story with pets and then American Idol with animals at the last second. Sing looks particularly bad since Zootopia was released the same year. Was there a single good animal pun or use animals to their advantage in that movie? Zootopia it was every other second when they were doing this, and the film was great as a result. Sing... that takes effort, so frick it. I can’t think of a single one in that movie. There’s no reason why that movie shouldn’t have just had humans starring, and they simply used it to have cheap feelings. Plus they use tons of multiples. It’s such a shitty studio.

You got downvoted so much because you went over the top with your criticism. But if you dial it back a few notches you aren't wrong. Outside of lucking into a weird modern version of the 3 Stooges with the Minions, all of their stuff has been meh at best.

I know you got downvoted, but I agree. To be fair, I never saw sing, but whenever the trailer came on, I always wondered if them being animals had anything to do with the story. I don't blame them from a business standpoint, but it made me not want to see the movie.
