Christmassy new teaser for The Secret Life Of Pets

Christmassy new teaser for The Secret Life Of Pets
Christmas is coming, as if you didn’t already know, and thus one of the films that won’t reach us for several months has hit upon the idea of a seasonal-themed teaser. Watch as dogs, cats and rabbits are begrudgingly squeezed into cute outfits by terrible humans in the new promo for The Secret Life Of Pets.



Coming from the Despicable Me gang at Illumination, the film takes a Toy Story-style peek into the world of pets inhabiting a Manhattan apartment building, and explains how they fill their days once their human owners shuffle off to work.

Much in the style of the first trailer, this is really just another look at the characters, and doesn’t have any hints at the story to offer. But we’re apparently in for the tale of Max (Louis C.K.) a smart rescue terrier used to being the centre of attention in his home, finding one particular day more challenging than usual thanks to the arrival of mongrel Duke (Eric Stonestreet), and a mishap has the pair ending up out in the wilds of the New York streets where they’ll have to stop cunning bunny Snowball (Kevin Hart) from turning the tables on humanity. Albert Brooks is voicing a pet named Tiberius, while Lake Bell is sarcastic kitty Chloe.

With Ellie Kemper, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan and Hannibal Buress among the voice cast, this has Despicable veteran Chris Renaud directing alongside Yarrow Cheney, and the script is by Illumination regulars Brian Lynch, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. The Secret Life Of Pets will be out in the UK on June 24 next year.
