Animated comedy sequel featuring the voices of Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart and Harrison Ford. Life changes for Max the dog when his owner has a child, turning Max into something of an overprotective worrier. However, a family trip introduces him to grizzled farm dog Rooster, who helps him overcome his fears. Meanwhile, Max's rabbit pal Snowball angers a tyrannical circus owner, plunging the pet gang into imminent danger.
Max the dog (voiced by Patton Oswalt, replacing Louis CK) returns, this time experiencing anxiety at the arrival of his owner's first child. Treading a similar path to the first film (substitute "new child" for "new dog"), the film is mainly a chance to spend more time with characters you came to love in the original movie. Snowball the bunny (Kevin Hart) has his own side adventure, as does pampered poodle Gidget (Jenny Slate), making the film more a series of skits than a flowing story. However, it does what it sets out to do, providing funny moments of slapstick for kids and knowing gags for pet owners. One standout addition is Harrison Ford, voicing his first animated role as tough farm dog Rooster. While more episodic in nature than its predecessor, The Secret Life of Pets 2 is a cuddly family adventure that will make younger tails wag.
