Movie trailer round-up: Animated entries ‘Secret Life of Pets’ & ‘Peanuts’ pack humor, heart & fun

Illumination Entertainment, the maker of Despicable Me and the upcoming Minions movie, has a new animated comedy in the works about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. The first teaser trailer, embedded above, does a fantastic job of setting the scene featuring Illumination’s slick animation style and signature humor. An overarching plot isn’t being divulged just yet, but that doesn’t even matter–The Secret Life of Pets is sure to draw audiences of all ages to its adorable collection of cats and dogs and video game savvy birds. The stacked voice cast includes Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan, Hannibal Buress, and Albert Brooks.

The Secret Life of Pets releases July 8, 2016.

Jump after the break to see the latest trailer for Blue Sky Studios’ Peanuts adaptation.

The most revealing Peanuts trailer is the movie’s most successful one yet. Charlie Brown is out to reinvent himself, and when a new girl moves to town he must step up to the plate to win her affections. His trusty pal Snoopy is there to guide him along the way, as well as the rest of the Peanuts gang including Schroder, Sally, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Pig Pen, and Lucy. The uniquely animated flick caters to Charles Schulz’s creation and the overall light-hearted theme of rooting for the underdogs shines throughout this extended look. If you previously weren’t stoked for Peanuts‘ big-screen adaptation, the new trailer should turn things around.

Peanuts hit theatres in 3D on November 6.
