The Secret Life of Pets 2 is funnier than the first. This review is of the 4k/bluray/digital combo. I organize my review comments by movie, extras, 4k quality, and digital copy below. The story: The story is told in ensemble format with 3 parallel plots that ultimately converge by the end, a much more sophisticated film structure than the first movie. The 3 plots are all hilarious and will keep children and adults amused. Additionally, there are good messages embedded for children. Max and Duke are anxious and jealous, at first, of the new baby. But they very quickly welcome them into the family. Also, with the help of a farm dog named Rooster, Max learns how to be brave when facing new situations. In the first movie, Snowball the bunny was crazy and evil although is redeemed by the end. In this sequel, Snowball's redemption is complete. He enjoys dressup and pretend play with his human child owner. And although he is still just as crazy as the first movie, in this sequel he focuses all of that energy on good, by dressing as a super hero to rescue a tiger cub from a cruel circus owner. The funniest subplot in my opinion is the part focused on Gidget babysitting Max's squeeky toy, especially learning to act like a cat from Chloe so she can rescue the toy from an apartment full of cats. All 3 plots converge by the end upon the rescue of the tiger cub. 4k disk: Extras and Bonus Features: Digital
