It all starts when the owners go out and leave their pets at home. just like in Toy Story, when people sleep the toys have fun, here it's just a matter of exchanging toys for pets.
Among them is Max who loves his mistress the most. When she leaves, all he does is wait for her to come back, but when she comes back with another dog, the huge Duke, Max isn't okay. He'll do anything to get her to get Duke out of there.
With a soundtrack beyond good, Max and Duke get into a lot of trouble and are chased by the cart, in addition to getting involved with the gang from the sewer underworld.
The funniest thing is that the cutest animals are the most dangerous and that makes us have a lot of surprises. […]
In the original voice acting, we have the voices of actors Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart and Lake Bell. Here, we have the voices of Danton Mello, Tiago Abravanel, Luis Miranda and Tatá Werneck.
Produced by Illumination Entertainment, the same as My Evil Favorite, Minions, Hop: Rebels Without Easter and Lorax, the company is here to stay.
The message is about a love for animals, but the aim is to get a good laugh.
