The Secret Life of Pets 2

A new animated feature from Illumination

has arrived, and kiddies will be meeting

their much-loved furry friends from the first

movie in the sequel, The Secret Life of Pets

2. The new chapter explores the lives of the

mischievous pets, who always seem to be

hiding in plain sight from their owners – simply

because they’re always up to know good.

Packed with humour and lots of good times,

the movie will still answer the question: what

are your pets really doing when you’re not

home? In similar fashion to the 2016 comedic

blockbuster, The Secret Life of Pets 2 will give

families a glimpse into the ever-exciting life of

pets. Terrier Max’s owner is now married and

has a toddler, which is seemingly too much to

handle for him.

On a family trip to a farm, Max and Duke

the mutt meet all sorts of scary animals –

including some rather hostile turkeys, cows

and foxes – which veteran farm dog rooster

tries to help Max deal with.

Meanwhile, the Max-obsessed Pomeranian

Gidget tries to rescue her crush’s favourite toy

from being destroyed by the cats with a little

help from her feline friend Chloe who’s all

about the catnip.

The crazy (but sort of cute) bunny Snowball

gets even more of an ego boost after

his owner Milly starts dressing him up in

superhero pyjamas, but his real skills will be

put to the test when Daisy, a courageous Shih

Tzu, asks for his help.

Will the pets be brave enough to face their

fears? That’s what we’ll find out in The Secret

Life of Pets 2, which will teach kids all about

channelling their inner superheroes – while

they have a good chuckle over the mishaps of

Max, Gidget, Snowball and more.

Toy Story 4

Toy Story hero Woody has always exuded the

sort of confidence that has kept fans sure of

his loyalty towards his kid owners, whether it

be Andy or Bonnie.

When the latter adds reluctant toy Forky

to the mix, things get interesting as the

“It’s a

cowboy goes on a road trip adventure with

old and new friends, proving just how big the

world can be for them. Everything is made

a hundred times more difficult because of

Forky’s existential crisis – who claims to be a

spork-turned-craft project.

Possibly one of the deepest movies of the

saga, Toy Story 4 will let kids into the toy

universe one more time, although this time it

isn’t quite about what the bunch will do when

their owners grow up. The movie will delve

deeper into why toys have a consciousness

(the ones in Toy Story that is) and ask

questions that will prompt kids to think about

child’s play in ways like never before.

Cast: Tom Hanks, Christina Hendricks
