McDonald's

McDonald's, often abbreviated as Mickey D's, is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast-food restaurants. Although not owned by Universal Studios, it has done several promotional tie-ins with Universal properties. The McDonald's Corporation was responsible for promoting the Illumination films beginning with Despicable Me 2 in 2013 and ending with Despicable Me 3 in 2017. However, it will be rebooted with Minions 2 in 2020.

 * Despicable Me, Hop, The Lorax, and The Grinch are the only Illumination films not to be promoted by McDonald's.
