The Secret Life of Pets 3 is an upcoming American computer-animated film. It will be the third installment in The Secret Life of Pets Franchise. The film's release date is unknown.
Snowball is known for being insanely cute, but also literally insane due to the trauma of being abandoned by his owner. He has a hate for pets and their owners. Snowball initially fits the classic "evil mastermind" stereotype, wanting to dominate the world using The Flushed Pets.
Animals punch and throw knives at one another, and a bad guy is hit by a car, but no one is ever really injured. Language includes "pissed," put-downs ("jerk," "idiot," "stupid," etc.), and potty humor ("turd"). And there's a scene in which a cat is high on catnip.
The difference between the two films is that The Secret Life of Pets 2 is funnier, way more family-friendly (minus a scene where the villain threatens our heroes with an actual gun and a few near instances of vehicular homicide...), and better paced thanks to the well-crafted subplot structure.
The Secret Life of Pets 2 was removed from Netflix's US catalogue last week, when the existing licensing deal expired. The film, which was originally released in 2019 and stars Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart, and Harrison Ford, is still available to view on Netflix in the UK.
The movie is fast paced and original and does have some good underlying messages, but it is also full of violence and quite scary for younger children. Therefore it's more suited to older viewers, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 8-10 years.
Max rushes to save Duke, but the truck falls into the river with both dogs in it as Max tries to get the keys. Snowball then plunges into the river and gets the keys back to Max so he can get Duke out, and they all swim to the surface. Tattoo steals a taxi and drives the pets back home.
Plot. A Jack Russell Terrier named Max lives with his owner Katie in a New York City apartment. While she is away, he socializes with other pets in the building: tabby cat Chloe, pug Mel, dachshund Buddy, and budgerigar Sweet Pea.

Gidget has a crush on her dog neighbor Max, who she avidly watches from her apartment window. When Max is missing one day however, she wants to find him with help of all of her friends. Gidget meets Tiberius when trying to find Max. She promised him that if he helped her, she would become his best friend.
Max is an anthropomorphic "hyperkinetic, three-foot rabbity thing" with white fur, but prefers being called a lagomorph. Max retains few characteristics consistent with a rabbit, with permanently rigid ears set in an excited posture and a huge jaw normally stuck in a crazed grin.
Moana isn't suitable for children under the age of 8 years. We recommend parental guidance for children aged up to 10 years because of the movie's violent and scary scenes. The main messages from this movie are to follow your dreams and be true to yourself.
