Re: The Secret Life Of Pets
Imagine if at the end of the movie, after all this adventure/plot has unfolded, we hear the door open and an owner finally returns only to reveal that s/he has been gone for less than 5 minutes and had just forgotten his/her keys.

Re: The Secret Life Of Pets
Got to see an early screening of this last weekend, it's quite entertaining and funny even for adults. Not nearly as much heart and emotions as the better Pixar films and more recent DAS efforts, but still a much much better effort than Minions and about on par with the Despicable Me films. Kevin Hart's Snowball really stole the show, and Jenny Slate's Gidget was also great.

Re: The Secret Life Of Pets
I don't see why they couldn't be. Everybody forgets that poodles weren't originally bred as companion dogs but as hunting dogs and there are actually 3 variants to the breed, the standard, the toy, and the mini with the standard standing as tall as other hunting dogs like labs and retrievers. The classic poodle haircut, while silly looking now, actually served a practical purpose when it was first conceived, it was meant to help the dog dry out quicker while retaining hair in key spots allowing those areas to still way warm. So there's absolutely no reason why a poodle couldn't be metal.

Re: The Secret Life Of Pets
I think that you're confusing the poodle for some other dog, like a terrier of some sort. Everything I've read says that poodles were bred primarily as bird dogs, hence their affinity for water and webbed toes. I think that it's the dachshund that were bred to hunt badgers, that's why they have the long body with the short legs; those traits allow them go down into the badger's lairs to get at them. A poodle is really too large to get at a badger, not unless you had some method of flushing them out of their lairs, something that I imagine is difficult to do without either setting it on fire or blowing it up.

Re: The Secret Life Of Pets
It's borderline worth theater prices for adults, and a definite yes if you have kids. About on par with the Despicable Me films and Monsters University. I wouldn't say it has zero feels, it has a bit but not as strong as Pixar's top performers. I didn't find the story to be a Toy Story clone but it's certainly not original, reminded me a lot of the old school dog animated flicks. I found it funny and entertaining, and not all kiddie slapstick humor like Minions. Having said that, I did like the Minion short attached to it... guess I like those little yellow guys in smaller doses.
