If you mush "The Secret Life of Pets" and "Next Gen" together, you get this... The plot outline is virtually completely ripped of from "Next Gen", and the troupe of walkabout pets should incite familiarity with "Secret Life...". But it doesn't work. At all. It just doesn't make sense. The Rip-off is too obvious and the Pet-angle has no merit in the plotline... It's like the "Scary Movie" franchise (... that surfed the tail of the succes of "Scream"), but with Animation. ... Set your Whelm-o-meter on "under"...
