Stunning looking film which asks an original question: what do our pets get up to while we are away at work? Unfortunately, after a series of highly inventive vignettes - the main answer is yet another buddies who hate each go on a journey of self discovery storyline. There simply isn't the character development or depth to make you care too much about the leads and there are some bizarre shifts in some of the others which would be unacceptable in a live action feature with humans rather than talking cartoon animals. Nor is the script as witty as it should be.
More interesting is the group of anti-human dispossessed pets although the psychotic bunny (a nice twist on a certain 80s thriller) is overused.
Overall, it's a fun view that looks gorgeous, but one that failed to tip me over into fully investing in the characters.
