Review of The Secret Life of Pets (2016) by Alisaaistrup — 17 Jul 2016

This is an amazing movie for both children and adults, although children may enjoy it more. The plot was intriguing, the scenery design and the animation were astounding, and the character build left you feeling on edge when the characters were in the line of fire.

I personally went to see it with my family, and my younger sister didn't seem to mind that there were a few acts of violence involved. If you have a child younger than 5, some of the scenes may frighten or startle them. Make sure they are fine with tiny acts of violence, like hitting, grabbing, or fighting.

There is only one strange or weird scene in the entire movie, which involved the main character and his still bonding companion arriving at the sausage factory in an act of hunger. It will make older audiences uncomfortable, but do it for the kids if you have any. Older teens will not be mature, so please make an effort to place them farther away from the young, innocent ears.

Aside from that, this movie was fantastic. Highly recommend you take one-hour out of your day to see it with your family to teach them more about loving your pet.
