lovely characters but bad storyline

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2016)

My 2-year-old son wanted to see this animal-related animation badly, so I took him to the cinema with my wife. Because of my son, we chose the Cantonese version.
Personally I felt the very first scene was enticing. It's about what Max does after his owner Katie goes to work. The arrival of Katie's new pet dog Duke and Max's jealousy of him is also funny as well as realistic.
To me, the plot about the rabbit and the other animals trying to control the Animal Control truck is where I started to feel bored. I couldn't help dozing off for a while during the film.
I also felt shocked when I saw some violence scenes (to toddlers / kids) in this Cat.1 animation.
Anyway, this animation is quite successful in conveying some positive messages like friendship and caring for pets.
