What if Illumination actually tried?

No, don't take this as if we dislike Illumination Entertainment. Some of their movies are indeed good. We're only disappointed that they wasted some of their potential and made errors like overusing the Minions and making forgettable cash-ins. So, we decided to make an alternate scenario where Illumination actually tried.

List of changes

 * Instead of the Minions, Illumination would have a talking lightbulb as its logo to symbolize its name.
 * Despicable Me would end up after the second film.
 * The Lorax would slightly be different.
 * More live-action/CGI hybrid films would've been made.
 * The studio would release at least a film by year and occasionally two.
 * Following the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation by NBCUniversal, the company opted to make Jeffrey Katzenberg responsible for both studios, considering the latter has longer and better experience on the animation field.
 * Illumination gets into the business of developing television.
