The Secret Life of Pets (2D) & (3D) [U] 91 mins Have you ever wondered what your pets get up to when you leave home? In one bustling apartment building the pets have their own nine-to-five routine: hanging out, trading humiliating stories about their owners or auditioning adorable looks to get better snacks. But things change when the building’s top dog, Max, finds his pampered life rocked when his owner brings home Duke, a sloppy, mess of a mongrel with zero interpersonal skills. When these two squabbling pooches get lost in New York trying to find an angry bunny who’s building an army of abandoned pets, it’s time for their friends to save the day. From the animation studio that brought you Despicable Me and Minions.
