Well, there could be little doubt about that "The Secret Life of Pets" was going to be a hit, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable movie for both kids and adults alike.
The story is about what goes on in the lives of pets once their owners go out the front door and leave the pets home alone. Max, a small well-groomed terrier, gets stuck with Duke, a massive shaggy dog, and have to go out on his life adventure as a mad rabbit named Snowball and his army of discarded pets are about to make life miserable for people, as part of their revenge on their former owners.
It is a combination of many things that add up to make "The Secret Life of Pets" a good movie.
First of all, the animation, which was really great. The characters and environments were all so dynamic and fantastic to look at; with lots of detail and personal touches to them.
Secondly, the storyline which was a compelling one that appealed to both children and grown-ups alike. There are many good aspects to the storyline portrayed in "The Secret Life of Pets", so there is something for everyone here.
And also the characters, whom were all very lovable in their own way, and each character was a distinct and individual character, which also added depth to the movie.
The voice acting, which is a crucial factor for an animated movie, was great. And they had some good talents to fill the various roles in this animated movie.
I was more than genuinely entertained and surprised with how good and enjoyable that "The Secret Life of Pets" turned out to be. And if you enjoy animated movies then you should definitely take the time to sit down and watch "The Secret Life of Pets" if you get the chance. I will say that "The Secret Life of Pets" is actually right up alongside with "The Good Dinosaur".
