“The Secret Life of Pets 2,” on the other hand, for which both Renaud and Lynch reprise their roles, effectively acts as an animated ode to heteronormativity, toxic masculinity and patriarchal worldviews, passed off as harmless plot points to entertain young audiences.
That first feature in what is now a franchise, directed by Chris Renaud and written by Brian Lynch, was generally mediocre but succeeded at introducing an odd group of characters with peoplelike personalities, rendered mildly humorous in the context of the pet realm. Milking human’s collective affection for our furry and feathered pals, the original “The Secret Life of Pets” imposed the “Toy Story” formula on animals living in New York City in order to show us what they do when we are not looking.
