When their owners leave for the day. The pets come out to play.
Yup, this is a movie. All I remember is there's a fat pussy, a large wiener, a piggy covered in tats, a croc, a snake, some angry bird, a punk rock poodle, an illusion to an orgy, a dog in a wheelchair, stupid humans, silly cellphones, literally, a sausage party, sewers, NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN, dog piss, bunny shit, Kevin Hart going all Boyz n the Hood, a boat, a hairless kitty, dog kisses, water, and murder talk.
If you're seven, go see this. Nothing stands out when it comes to the animation. Zootopia walks all over this one. Fuck, I pretty much forgot the movie already. Forgettable fluff.

This is already dated because it has a scene in Central Park and there weren't hundreds of berks trying to catch a Vaporeon.

30/100
The Secret Life of Pets doesn't work as a movie. If you want to debate the basics, I can indeed confirm it is a series of moving images projected digitally to a crowd of human individuals, all varying in height and weight, but that's besides the point. A cinematic feature should at least maintain that standard. But beyond a rhythm of construction, of pure movie tissue, The Secret Life of Pets fails as soon as the training wheels are taken off. Even the prolonged marketing - utilizing the first five minutes of the film as their template - couldn't make sense of it, probably because they realized that any sort of narrative progression or character development is nonexistent besides…

So in the Netherlands we do this weird thing. We throw chocolate sprinkles on our bread. Don't ask me why, we just do. We smother a slice of bread with butter so the sprinkles will stick, pour a mountain of chocolate sprinkles on top of it, cover it with another slice of bread and Bob's your uncle, sandwich heaven according to us Dutchies.
I remember only having the option of pouring dark chocolate on my bread when I was a kid. Later we got milk chocolate and even later still we got the epitome of chocolate sprinklyness, a mixture of white and milk chocolate. It was a luxury of Michelin star proportions.
And then the Funnies came.
A Funny is…

Review by Grey the Dot ★★★

Another movie night with my little sister, another Norwegian dub. This time however the Norwegian cast is an all-star collection of Norway's greatest giving such good performances that it is likely just as good as the original English performances.
The Secret Life of Pets works best when it focuses on the visual gags that get peppered throughout the movie. It has a huge collection of characters that are more defined by their one comedic quirk than by any sort of personality. This is perfectly fine. I liked the movie more when it indulged in the characters' absurd behaviors than when it followed the main plot of two dogs that compete for their owner's love, get lost, and have to learn…

même si voila c’est pas un métrage qui tente beacoup de choses meme si ça reste assez lisse, l’histoire tient débout, on s’ennuie jamais et voilà c’est kiffant les films de illumination.
Review by Y_Yin_ ★★★★★

It just shows 2 sides of humanity. The ones who love their pets and those who exploit the animals. Very cute animation. It's unrealistic yet comical. I love Gidget!

Cute but not lovable.
Review by Xime ★★★★

Un perro super domestico que ama a su dueña recibe la noticia de que a la loca se le ocurrió adoptar otro, que ni bien llega trata de hacerle la vida imposible. Tanto que cuando el paseador los saca, arma bardo y terminan los dos en la perrera.
En el medio hay bocha de animales, los de departamento que son medio pelotudos, y los que viven en la calle/alcantarillas que están re locos y dicen que odian a los humanos.
Estoy segura que todos los animales son así cuando no los vemos

This was a snooze. I was so bored and ended up falling asleep. I tried to watch it again to give it a second chance, but no. I couldn’t do it.
