There are a total of 64 animatronic figures in the attraction, which is a welcome move away from the digital projection-based attractions of the last few years.

The attraction has been built on the site of the former Globe Theatre, which was an event space.Ī Variety article (April 2019) confirmed that the attraction will be opening in 2020, and mentioned visitors on ride vehicles. New attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood based on the movie series by Illumination Entertainment (distributed by Universal Pictures). Overall, there is much to enjoy in 'The Secret Life of Pets', though it is more a good film than a great one.Dates: Originally due to open March 27 2020, this was delayed after theme parks closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic

Lastly the voice acting is pretty terrific, Kevin Hart, Albert Brooks and Steve Coogan coming off best. 'The Secret Life of Pets' is also very wittily and often hilariously scripted, some of the best lines coming from Snowball, and there are some neat references to 'Grease', 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Some Like it Hot.' As said, much of the story is charming with enough of the entertainment factor. However, 'The Secret Life of Pets' is beautifully and vibrantly animated, love the rich colours, meticulously rich backgrounds and the well-modelled character designs. And while a vast majority of the film is incredibly entertaining, not all the jokes work in the final third, being not as well-timed and being a bit too obvious and childish. While the lead characters are likable and interesting, there are too many characters, which are not as fleshed out and some of them not in the film enough to make impact, and the film feels over-populated as a result. Starting with 'The Secret Life of Pets', while much of the story is charming, beautifully paced without feeling rushed and entertaining, it does run out of steam in the final third where it does drag a bit and feels overstretched. Not a great film, but a very enjoyable one.
