The choices are, well, are interesting as almost everyone's playing against type. What makes The Secret Life Of Pets more than just a rehash is that it has a cast of comedic actors working together, not just well-known voices whom people will instantly recognise.
That's essentially it for plot and, as you can tell, it's essentially Toy Story by way of animals. Meanwhile, Max's friends (Lake Bell, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan, Hannibal Buress) try their best to rescue Max and Duke, with the help of a hawk voiced by Al Brooks. At first, Max is more concerned with keeping the larger dog under his thumb, but when the two get picked up by Animal Control, it turns into survival. Max (Louis CK) is a loyal dog to a little-seen human who's put upon when another dog (Eric Stonestreet) is forced into his idyllic life. Already this year, we've seen anthropomorphised animals in a LA Confidential / Chinatown setting with Zootopia whilst The Secret Life Of Pets takes it on a familiar route ala Toy Story. While it's a bit on the predictable side, both the animation and the interplay between the actors is just enough to keep it from being forgettable.Īnimals and animated films aren't anything particular new, but it's still interesting to see studios and writers try to come up with new and unusual ways to put them together. Louis CK, Ellie Kemper, Jenny Slate and Eric Stonestreet star in this animated comedy from the creators of Despicable Me and Minions that's essentially a retread of Toy Story except with pets.
