One of the more overlooked animated movies of 2016 was Illumination Entertainment’s cute talking animal movie, The Secret Life of Pets.  This week Illumination released the first teaser poster and the first look at its sequel, The Secret Life of Pets 2.  Take a look at the trailer below.  Voice actor comedians Kevin Hart, Bobby Moynihan, Dana Carvey, and the great Albert Brooks are back.  Also returning are voice actors Jenny Slate, Lake Bell, and Eric Stonestreet.

Comedic actor Patton Oswalt is stepping in to replace Louis CK in the lead role as the voice of Max the terrier.  The first trailer looks like great family fun, all at the expense of your dog, cat, or guinea pig.  If you’ve had a dog who had any kind of surgery or rash, then you’ll recognize Max in the poster sporting the Cone of Shame.  The first trailer features Max on his first visit to the veterinarian.  Keep an eye out at the movie’s website here for more character teasers arriving from Universal Pictures.

Sing movie

We at borg.com are fans of anthropomorphic animals, whether they come in the form of Muppets or found in Alice in Wonderland or The Golden Compass.  A new movie coming from Universal Studios’ Illumination group, the studio that released Despicable Me, features animals pursuing their musical dreams in the city.  Sing features an all-star cast of actors’ voicing an American Idol-inspired competition.

A trailer released this week reveals a host of endearing competitors.  So endearing you cannot help but want to know… Who is going to win?

Sing stars Matthew McConaughey (a koala bear named Buster Moon who runs a movie theater in need of a kickstart), with contestants Reese Witherspoon (Rosita, a mother pig), Seth MacFarlane (Mike, a mouse), Scarlett Johansson (Ash, a punk rock porcupine), Taron Egerton (Johnny, a young gangsta gorilla), Tori Kelly (Meena, a teenaged elephant), and John C. Reilly.  The film is directed and written by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy).
