“Fast-paced, funny, and blessed with a talented voice cast, The Secret Life of Pets offers a beautifully animated, cheerfully undemanding family-friendly diversion.”
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars and called it “an animated fluffball—a sort of Toy Story with pets does everything to drive you crazy and ends up being totally irresistible.”
Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three out of four stars and said “In much the same way that the smash Zootopia demonstrated that creatures of different culture and class and species are better off when they come together, The Secret Life of Pets is a testament to teamwork and friendship and fixing the rifts that divide us. Let the fur—and the warm, fuzzy feelings—fly.”
