Line 83:
** '''Puppy''': One of the Minions is seen flying towards the left on a dark blue background, using carboard wings. We then see a large bright white light (possibly the "N" in "ILLUMINATION") on the left as the Minion stops for a second and looks at the light before deciding to go towards it, causing him to get electrocuted. He then falls to the ground and the camera quickly zooms out, revealing the Illumination text and revealing dozens of other Minions with carboard wings fallen down on the ground as they all say "Illumination..." at the same time in a disgruntled manner.
** '''The Dog Days of Winter''': Kevin, Stuart and Bob can be seen in front of a small gingerbread house with the Illumination text being seen on top of it while they stand in front of a blizzard. The camera slightly shakes as the area around them rumbles, slightly startling Bob. It happens again, only stronger, which causes Bob to almost be swept away by the snow as Kevin pulls him back. They stand there for a bit as the area shakes once more, this time causing all of them to float and spin around the house. The camera then zooms back to reveal that the area and the Minions are actually part of a snowglobe held by the young Grinch from the movie sitting on a couch as he happily looks at and shakes the snowglobe once more.

* '''Training Wheels''': Stuart can be seen standing on a bicycle in a dark room. He then sighs and cracks his fingers before starting to pedal the bike, which powers up some sort of electric machine that powers a huge lightbulb off-screen. We then cut to a wide shot of it, revealing several other Minions standing around the bulb which has "Illumination" in a scripted-style font being formed by the bulb's filament. As it lights up, the Minions gasp in admiration as one of the says "Illumination." in that manner.

Illumination (also known as Illumination Entertainment) is an American film and animation studio founded by Chris Meledandri in 2007 and co-owned by Universal Pictures, a division of its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal.
The company was formed after Meledandri left as president of 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios in early 2007. While at those companies, he supervised or executive-produced movies including the first two Ice Age films, Robots, and Horton Hears a Who!. After he left, a deal was announced positioning Illumination as Universal's family entertainment arm that would produce one to two films a year starting in 2010. During the summer the following year, Illumination acquired the animation department of the French animation and visual effects studio Mac Guff, and formed Illumination Mac Guff (now Illumination Studios Paris).
The studio is responsible for the Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets and Sing franchises, and the movies Hop, The Lorax, and The Grinch. The Minions from the first title are the studio's mascots.

Nicknames: "Minions", "Scared Minion", "Bunny Minion", "Crushed Minion", "Triumphant Minions", "Singing Minions", "Scared Minion II", "Excited Minion", "Singing Minions II", "Triumphant Minions II", "Minion + Snowball", "Scared Minion III", "Singing Minions III", "Crazy Minion"
Logo: On a dark background with a reflective floor, a large stacked text reading "ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT" appears (written in Futura Condensed). Minions appear below the text (usually Bob or Stuart) and get up to different things, which vary by film:
Variants:
FX/SFX: The minions and the text, which varies by film. Animated by Illumination themselves.
Music/Sounds: Just the minions (voiced by Pierre Coffin) making noises or saying/singing the company name. On the Despicable Me variant, a loud, bombastic three-note fanfare is heard as the logo appears, kinda sounding like the Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" logo. None or the opening theme of the trailer for the still versions. On How to Draw a Minion, it's the same as The Secret Life of Kyle and Minion Scouts, however, only Bob's voice is present.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Current and common.
Editor's Note: This logo has gained notoriety for its constant use of Illumination's mascots, the Minions, and opinions will vary wildly based on whether you find the Minions charming or annoying. The Sing 2 variant is generally considered the best even by those who dislike the other logos, however, and some think it should become the main logo on future films. Some have also proposed that the Minions could be absent, and have some other Illumination characters (doing what the Minions did in the prior films) substituting them for a few releases.
