Secret Life of Pets (review)

 The Secret Life of Pets is a clever, engaging adventure. It's a film by Universal Pictures which was written by Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney. This film takes place in New York City in 2015 which is about what your domesticated animals do while you're not around. Main characters Max (voiced by Louis C.K.) and Duke (Eric Stonestreet) 


The film involves some dangerous adventures in which the main characters are Max and his friends. Max, who is Katie´s adorable dog, loves spending time with Katie and she loves him because he is a well-educated dog. The drama starts when Katie adopts Duke, who is a larger mutt. Obviously, Max doesn´t like Duke and he is jealous. One day, Max and Duke go out with their dog walker but he is distracted by his cell phone so an animal control officer catches them. The adventure begins when Snowball, who is a lovely rabbit that was disappointed by humans, helps them to escape with the condition to join his revenge plans against humans pointing out that he hates domesticated animals, Max and Duke accept, even when they are domesticated animals, but they only want to go back home with Katie. So the impossible mission starts but Snowball mustn't discover their real identity


Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney, directors, have made this film something memorable, in which with some help from Universal Studios has done extraordinary animation work. You can see a lot of details in every moment (shapes, light, etc.). My favorite character is Snowball who has an uncontrollable temperament. He is so cute and funny. There´s no doubt that Chris and Yarrow are talented directors. 


This film has a lot of hilarious scenes, which you won't stop laughing at. There are also romantic scenes and more. However, for me, the most fascinating contrast is the Duke and Max friendship, in which you can see the evolution of how they became brothers. The Secret Life of Pets is a light, delightful film which I´d thoroughly recommend.
