What are your pets doing when you aren't at home?
This heartwarming animated sequel from Illumination, the studio that brought us Despicable Me, Minions and Sing, is also led by a star-studded comedic cast. All of our favorite Pets and their growing families are back in a new chapter which really examines the deep bonds between them and their humans.
The voice cast includes Patton Oswalt (A.P. Bio), Kevin Hart (Ride Along Series), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Jenny Slate (Despicable Me 3), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), Lake Bell (Children’s Hospital), Nick Kroll (Sing), Dana Carvey (Wayne’s World), Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Hannibal Buress (Neighbors) and Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live).
Excitingly for me, Harrison Ford takes his first ever role in an animated film as new addition Rooster, the very mature farm dog who they meet later on in the movie.
Star of the film really is Max, the little terrier. His human Katie meets a nice man, gets married and they have a baby. Max takes a little while to get used to the new addition, and when he does, he starts to feel the panic and worry that all new parents face. He realises protecting the baby is going to be hard work and his anxiety gets the better of him at first.
There are lots of little stories happening at once, as we also look at the other pets in the apartments nearby. Snowball the rabbit who thinks he's a superhero thanks to some new pyjamas, and the posh Pomeranian Gidget, who loves Max and would do anything for him, including rescuing his toy. They all have their own unlikely adventures, and the action carries on throughout the film.
A good movie to watch together as a family, The Secret Life Of Pets 2 is as good as the first one, and possibly has more storyline, albeit loosely connected. There is enough to keep an adult's interest, but the action is visual and easy enough for your younger children to follow.
The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital versions of the film are packed with more than 90 minutes of bonus content, including two brand new, laugh-out-loud funny mini-movies - Super Gidget and Minion Scouts. Additionally included are deleted scenes, DIY and drawing tutorials, as well as a special interactive Captain Snowball Motion Comic on the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions,

My hamster would go looking for me, she always wants to be with me, and she'd also stock up on treats!
ReplyDeleteWe can't leave Hudson on his own any more has he needs 24 hour care but when he was a puppy he used to chew anything that was wood including the bed, the shoe rack, the doors & my first ever designer pair of shoes & he had never chewed shoes before!
ReplyDeleteThey would probably raid the fridge and then make a mess in the garden.
ReplyDeleteAll sorts I am sure :- Fun for them. I can recall once, many years ago. Boyfriend told me the cat had really enjoyed his Go Kat treats. Boyfriend had unwittingly put all wrapped Christmas presents under the decorated Christmas tree. His omission (as he knew cat got these along with other gifts for Christmas every year ) was delight for cat :- An early Christmas present of a large box of his cat treats. He had opened the present himself.

My dog tends to sleep after he's thrown the cushions about to make himself comfortable. Many years ago I had a house rabbit and he learnt to open the 'fridge and help himself to carrot tops and cucumber!
ReplyDeleteOne day we returned from work to find our cat had knocked a lamp down and it had smashed on the floor
ReplyDeleteWe once found our rabbit inside the oven eating cake that had leaked out of the tin!
ReplyDeleteSleeping mostly I think and barking at any strange noises
ReplyDeleteRAID THE FRIDGE FOR SURE
ReplyDeleteI have 2 cats who tend to sleep when I'm not home. Other than using the litter tray I may discover a lovely pile of puke!
ReplyDeleteI have to put Lucky, my cat in a room he cannot do any harm in, otherwise I would come back to everything ruined!
ReplyDeleteWe looked after my brothers two cats, while he was on holiday and they opened the fridge door. They were half way through a pack of bacon when we found them.
ReplyDeleteI have two dogs minnie and marley. When I am out they love to raid the bin or if that is empty they go for the recycling bags because they love to chew the bottle caps off of plastic bottles
ReplyDeleteI have four cats who have a love hate relationship so I reckon there would be lots of rows!!!
ReplyDeleteprobably raid the kitchen cupboards
ReplyDeleteMy outdoor fish would leap up and over the small bridge in their pond.
ReplyDeleteShe dug the laminate up last year. We have a doggy can and she howled like a wolf once never heard her ever do that before
ReplyDeleteNo pets now but one stupid dog tried burying his toys in the sofa
ReplyDeleteSitting in my chair
ReplyDeleteOur dog likes eating furniture and carpets so probably more of the same!

ReplyDeleteI’m sure he would eat the food off the side in the kitchen, then go up and get on my bed.
ReplyDeleteSitting in my chair
ReplyDeleteMinnie plots to take over the world, whilst cunningly disguised as a sleeping cat on the trampoline in the garden!
ReplyDeleteWe have a dog and two cats. The cats will be snoozing as that's what they spend the majority of the day doing, and the dog will be sat on the windowsill barking at every person and car that goes by!
ReplyDeleteRaid my biscuit tin
ReplyDeletelays on things she shouldnt do lol x
ReplyDeleteMy daughters hamster won't go to bed until it's fed again, she sits right next to the bowl as a big massive hint!
ReplyDeleteI think my dog would have a party with all his dog friends if he was left home alone!
ReplyDeleteHe will just sit and wait in his bed for me to come home .
ReplyDeleteI have no pets - too many children - but if I did I expect they'd bask in the peace and quiet!
ReplyDeleteTearing the curtains down has been my cat’s favourite, safe to say I wasn’t impressed!
ReplyDeleteOur dog would just eat everything! She is a bit like Joey from friends and wouldn’t want to share food so wouldn’t invite her friends!
ReplyDeleteI reckon chew all the wires and chase each other around the house, upsetting my untidy piles of books lol!
ReplyDeleteWatches out the window, sits of the sofa, goes on our bed! naughty little man!
ReplyDeleteMy dog is still in puppy mode, his favourite chew toy when we were out was to completely shred a entire cardboard box, luckily he left the parcel inside in one piece
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my dog hides one of each pair of socks while I'm out..!
ReplyDeleteI know, due to the large dog-shaped creases on the bed, exactly what our dog has been up to while we've been out. He is absolutely NOT allowed on the bed!
ReplyDeleteThe dog would be Ripping up the pillows which is not cool and Sleeping I would think on the couch which is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteRaid the cupboards for food, snuggle on the sofa with the tv on!

ReplyDeleteGeri Gregg

ReplyDeleteMy parrot would need asleep after she had bitten anything she found she could bite
ReplyDeleteMy childhood pet which was a spaniel would probably have been in the fridge she loved her food lol
ReplyDeleteI think my Budgie must have a party judging by the amount of seed scattered round his cage
ReplyDeleteAnything would be possible but Troy would probably get a little nap while he could and make the most of the peace and quiet
ReplyDeletesleep our dog is 14 now poor old girl
ReplyDeleteMy Cat, dog and chickens definitely all have a party when we leave the house 😂
ReplyDeleteLoud music all hours annoying the hell put of the neighbours
ReplyDeleteMy son absolutely loves this film!! We're not allowed pets because we have a rented home, but that doesn't stop him asking me for a pug at least once a week
