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 leaving, 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. | The company was formed after Meledandri left as president of [[20th Century Fox Animation]] and [[Blue Sky Studios]] in early 2007.
