Ahead of the June 7 release of Illumination Entertainment’s The Secret Life of Pets 2, Universal’s consumer products division has unveiled a slew of new toys, clothing and accessories from top partners like JustPlay, Funko and more. The flick is the tenth animated feature from the studio, and follows the 2016 blockbuster comedy hit. (You can read all about it in the June issue of Animation Magazine, coming soon!)
Directed by Chris Renaud, The Secret Life of Pets 2 finds terrier Max (voice by Ptton Oswalt) coping with major anxieties about the safety of his owner’s (Ellie Kemper) little boy. While Max and Duke (Eric Stonestreet) head out on a family trip to a farm — where they meet a Rooster played by Harrison Ford in his animated feature debut! — pomeranian Gidget (Jenny Slate) and Chloe the cat (Lake Bell) try to rescue Max’s favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment. Plus, Snowball the bunny (Kevin Hart) gets delusions of grandeur when his owner gives him superhero pajamas, volunteering for a dangerous mission with brave Shih Tzu Daisy (Tiffany Haddish).
