Icon Secret Life of Pets

Post by Jason_Marchingo »

This is a hilarious movie that I'd pick out to be for children.

It's an interesting tail that shows the viewer what our pets lives might actually be like, and how a rebellion is formed against humans and other pets love for their owners.

It's got interesting graphics that I wouldn't have otherwise picked for this movie, but in a very good way.

I'd rate this movie 3.5 out of 5 and would highly recommend to children.

If you've got specific questions just reply and I'll do my best to answer after having recently watched it!

I watched this one with my son a few months back. I agree, it was so cute! My son loved it too!

I watched this one a month ago. It was cute, however if I was recommending newer kids movies, I would say Zootopia. I thought that was one of Disney's best ones so far.

This was a cute movie, but I would recommend it for younger children. My son, who is twelve, was a little disappointed. He liked the characters, but I think the plot was too simple for him.

Yes Lauren I have to agree with this. I remember my first time watching Zootopia, and I was drawn in straight from the beginning.

I've always been drawn to dinosaur adventure stories and movies and find them fascinating. I would say that I wish they were still existent but some would argue that they'd just make humans extinct or worse.

It's one of those movies that can be watched over and over without ever growing old. At least for me that is.

I'd rate Zootopia a 4 out of 5 if I had to.

This movie is so cute! I have a son but he's just 1.yo and doesn't appreciate animation that much. But me, I really enjoyed it.. Now I'm waiting for the Japanese Audio DVD to be officially released.. I want to watch the Japanese Audio because Norman and Tiberius' japanese voice actors are my favorite! <3 Kaji Yuuki as Norman and Miyano Mamoru as Tiberius. They are a match made in heaven. This duo is awesome! watch the announcement for the Japanese Casting on youtube. :)

I love this two! <3

The day I saw this movie I was at the theater picking up tickets for another movie I was going to watch the next day after work. I saw it was getting ready to start and just decided to buy a ticket. I am glad I did.

I had a rough day at work and this movie was just the pick me up I needed. I kind of felt like the creators had been in my head because I like to create animal dialogue and wonder what pets do when humans are not around.

If you haven't seen it I recommend it to all ages, even if you don't have kids.

Zootopia was a pretty good movie. I missed it in theaters but recently watched it on Netflix. The storyline was great.

I liked this movie. It was just so adorable, the concept of seeing such funny theories as to what pets do when you're not home was interesting. I'd recommend seeing it at least once.

I agree, Zootopia amazed me, and I don't really watch animated movies anymore. The Secret Life of Pets was kitsch but cute, it was good for a laugh.

I went to see this movie in theatres with my friends. I really liked it and thought it was cute, but struggled with some of the logic. I was fine with talking and adventurinf animals, but the main adventure seemed to happen in one day and I didn't like that.
