The Secret Life of Pets

Last night a group of friends and I saw 'The Secret Life of Pets' at the cinema. I remember when I first saw the trailer I thought "this looks like a really bad movie. I'm not going to see that", but when I got asked, I went just so I could go out with these friends and I'm really glad I did. I don't know if it is partially because I went in with such low expectations, but I thought the film was so funny and so much fun to watch.

It is about, as the title suggests, the secret life of pets, or rather, the extraordinary events that happen to a group of pets in one day. Set in New York, terrier Max has a great relationship with his owner, seeing them as soul mates, until new dog, Duke is adopted. This leads to a whole chain of events, including sausage factories, going underground where they meet the slightly deranged and aggressive bunny called Snowball, running from the revolutionaries as well as the dog pound.
I sort of understand why the trailer didn't do it justice, because my attempt of explaining the plot is pretty atrocious, but I can definitely tell you that it is really fun to watch and not a disappointment at all.

My favourite character would definitely be Chloe the cat. She has some of the funniest lines because she is dry in her delivery and sarcastic and extremely blunt. Perfect representation of a cat, and for that matter, each character is a perfect representation of their respective animals. This film may not be a cartoon classic, but it certainly is one of the animations that I could watch again and still enjoy.
