The Secret Life of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of our pets, the
deep bond between them, the families that love them and answers the question:
What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home? Terrier Max (Patton
Oswalt) is coping with major life changes after Katie’s marriage and the
arrival of a toddler, Liam. Meanwhile, Gidget (Jenny Slate) tries to rescue
Max’s favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her
feline friend, Chloe (Lake Bell), who has discovered the joys of catnip. And
Snowball (Kevin Hart) believes, despite the other pets’ teasing, that he’s a
superhero after his owner starts dressing him in superhero pajamas. But when
Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball’s
help on a dangerous mission, he’ll have to summon the courage to become the
hero he’s been pretending to be.
The film features an all-star voice cast
including Patton Oswalt (TV’s “A.P.
Bio”), Kevin Hart (Ride Along Series), Eric Stonestreet (TV’s
Modern Family), Jenny Slate (Despicable Me 3), Tiffany
Haddish (Girls Trip), Lake Bell (TV’s Children’s Hospital), Nick Kroll (Sing),

Illumination, founded by Academy
Award® nominee Chris Meledandri in 2007, is one of the entertainment
industry’s leading producers of event-animated films. The company’s
franchises include three of the top-eight animated films of all time, and its iconic, beloved brands—infused with memorable and
distinct characters, global appeal and cultural relevance—have grossed more
than $6 billion worldwide.
Illumination was recently honored by Fast Company as one of the world’s most
innovative companies.
Illumination, which has an exclusive
financing and distribution partnership with Universal Pictures, has garnered an
extraordinary number of franchise successes for a studio just over a decade
old. As the creator of the hugely successful world of Despicable Me, which was recently
crowned the top-grossing box-office animated franchise globally, Illumination
has evolved the Despicable Me series to include Minions, the third-highest-grossing
animated film of all time and the most profitable film in Universal’s history,
as well as the Academy Award®- nominated
Despicable Me 2 and summer 2017’s Despicable Me 3, which made more than $1
billion at the global box office.
Illumination recently launched two
original properties that captivated audiences worldwide: The Secret Life of Pets, which achieved the best opening for an
original movie, animated or otherwise, in U.S. history, and the global smash, Sing. And in 2018, Illumination’s Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch had the biggest
opening weekend of any Christmas-themed movie in history.
Founded 11 years ago with the mission
of putting a smile on the face of every member of the audience, no matter their
age, Illumination continues to imagine both original stories, as well as
unexpected adaptations of beloved pre-existing works.
Illumination’s upcoming films include
Minions 2 in July 2020 and Sing 2 in Summer 2020.
