The Secret Life of Pets

What a dumb movie. Who writes these things? with the underlying sense of dread at every corner ? gangs , violence , stereotypes .. stay away

The animation is very well done and the animals have realistic fur texturing so the animation quality ranks pretty good with me. The writing is a mixed bag of genuinely funny at times but mostly rude humor and pop culture references and it relies too heavily on those. The music is recycled pop music and for whatever reason they randomly insert "We Go Together" from another movie called "Grease" into a scene where the dogs behave like they are drunk after eating too many sausages. The score music is also forgettable. There's a scene where the rabbit who leads the "Flushed Pets' poops while he is laughing too hard and a cat can be seen in the background starts to play with the feces by batting it around. There's some scary moments and the 2 main dog characters are terrible to each other at first but then become friends. It is just fine in my opinion but not for really small children unless you watch it with them and explain it scene by scene like I do with my little one. It has positive messages about friendship and team work but it requires explaining it to reep the benefits of it with small children.

I watched this on Netflix, and I was appalled. My 2 year old daughter loves animals, and all the previews had been so cute. I was thinking it would be 'Toy Story' of the animals. It became really dark and violent, evoking a lot of gang culture references. I'm usually a 'eh, they'll be fine' kind of mom when it comes to programming, but I turned this one off and told her we didn't talk about killing people. Way inappropriate.

Our oldest watched this while with a baby sitter and he has been scared of the smallest things now for days on end. He was asking startling questions about animals killing humans and wanting to make sure they can’t get him too. I’m so saddened by this movie.

It may not be Illumination's best movie but it's far from their worst either. The Secret Life Of Pets is a fun family movie that the whole family will enjoy. Starring Louis C.K. Eric Stonestreet Kevin Hart Jenny Slate and Albert Brooks. It's Illumination's version of Toy Story but with pets instead of Toys.

I really like This movie No Matter The scary bad Guys And monsters. I really like Snowball because of How Cute Looking he is, And How Funny he can be. I Always watch This Movie Whenever I,m Stressed Out, no matter The Scary Scenes.

You guys, this was bad. Watch something else. Something better.

A friend's 4 year old loves this so I thought I'd give it a try for my 4 and 2 year old. I also didn't know about this site and now I see, it was not age appropriate. My 4 year old ran hiding when the second dog got aggressive and we didn't even make it to the scene with the super scary cats. We paid to rent it and ended up turning it off and watching later without the kids. A lot of action and adventure. Definitely more suitable for older school aged kids.
