氣質姐與可愛可

Have you ever wondered what your pet does when you are not at home? The creators of Despicable Me and Minions answer that question in the movie The Secret Life of Pets. Inside a small New York City apartment sits a tiny terrier＊ named Max, who eagerly waits for his owner, Katie, to return home from work. One day, Katie comes home with a big surprise for Max — a large mutt named Duke. In addition to being big and hairy, Duke is really good at getting himself and Max into trouble. Before they know it, both Max and Duke are lost on the streets of New York City looking for a way back home.
　　Production on the movie began in January of 2014. The main characters feature the voice talents of comedians Louis CK, Kevin Hart, and Hannibal Buress, among many others. The writers and directors of the movie previously worked together on the Despicable Me series and other animated movies. The Secret Life of Pets is set to be released this month in 3D.
