The Secret Life of Pets 2

Continuing the story of Max and his pet friends, following their secret lives after their owners leave them for work or school each day.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 will follow summer 2016's blockbuster about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy will produce the sequel to the comedy that had the best opening ever for an original film, animated or otherwise. THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 will see the return of writer Brian Lynch (Minions) and once again be directed by Chris Renaud (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax).

Critic Reviews:

• " ‘The Secret Life Of Pets 2’ highlights the power of teamwork, perseverance, and overcoming fear. It's a wonderful family movie that both adults and kids can enjoy together. " – Lynnette Nicholas

• " It's a slower, more sincere and still incredibly silly film that should appeal to just about anyone who loved the original film. " – Richard Propes

• " The Secret Life of Pets 2 is still undeniably sweet and a perfectly harmless time that aims to please through bright design, fun gags and witty observations about the animals that we love in our lives. " – Andrew Gaudion
