What if Illumination actually tried?

No, don't take this as if we disliked Illumination. 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 TBD.
 * 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 sack Chris Meledandri and make Jeffrey Katzenberg responsible for both studios, considering the latter has more and longer experience on the animation field.
