The Secret Life of Pets 2 Trailer - Gidget
Chloe the Cat gives Gidget some good pointers on how to act like a cat. After tossing on pink cat years and a sock on her puffy tail, Gidget learns how to resist fetching, land on her feet from a fall, and even use the litter box. Of course, the rest of her dog pals aren’t quite as skilled.
As someone whodid not likeThe Secret Life of Petsat allwhen it was released back in 2016, I must say that the sequel’s trailers are a little more clever. As a cat owner, making light of the pompous behavior of cats is a sweet spot for me. But even the rest of the trailers have been a little more amusing than the marketing for the first movie, which relied on recreating the amusing pet behavior already seen in hundreds of YouTube videos.
With so many characters inThe Secret Life of Pets 2, we’re bound to get one new trailer every month until the film’s release this summer. But hopefully they start pulling back a bit so they’re not giving everything away. Parents will have to watch this movie over and over again once it hits home video, so Universal and Illumination will want to savesomefootage to make them laugh upon the first viewing. Then they can prepare to hate it for the rest of their lives.
Chris Renaudis back directing the animated sequel, which again has a script fromBrian Lynch. ComedianPatton Oswaltreplaces original star Louis C.K. and leads a cast that includes returning membersJenny Slate, Kevin Hart, andEric Stonestreet.
