In pairs: read some reviews about the movie. Do you agree with them? Why? « It reminds me of Toy Story but only a bit because of the relationship between the protagonists. It’s lovable and cute especially the rabbit voice is incredibly funny. Definitely a watch for kids and adults » « There was nothing in this movie about "the secret life of pets." It's just a movie going from point A to point B with a villain chasing them. I walked into this movie thinking it would be clever and funny but it's predictable. » « Apparently, I should've done more research before taking my child to see this movie...the HUGE villainous snake scene had my son crying and ready to leave. I found quite a few things to be inappropriate...in my opinion this is no cute movie for kids...a laugh for adults and or teens maybe. » 5 11. Here is the poster of the second movie.
