Leaves you feeling empty

Rating: 4/10 (19 June 2016)

Classic Pixar and Disney films leave you wanting to see it again, to talk about it or read about it. Having watched Secret Life of Pets, which my children enjoyed very much, I left feeling empty.
We agreed, we wouldn't want to watch it again. It's like a composite of nice through to quite funny animal jokes - mainly visual - strung together with a loose plot (which bears a strong resemblance to Toy Story).
For some reason, which I can't put my finger on, I had no warmth for the characters, their peril and the outcome.
There are also a couple of pieces of peril that I thought were too strong for a U certificate. Dogs trapped in a van, sinking under water. Our kids hid their eyes. Not very "certificate U".
So in brief - kids still love for 90 mins. Then move along. Nice, reasonably enjoyable, light and instantly forgettable.
