WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Max (Oswalt), a Jack Russell Terrier, is living his dream life with his owner Katie (Kemper), his adoptive Newfoundland dog brother Duke (Stonestreet), and his various animal friends who all live in the same apartment block. However, when Katie gets married and has a baby, Max (Oswalt) finds his fears going into overdrive, which a trip to the countryside and a run-in with no-nonsense Welsh Sheepdog Rooster (Ford) will hopefully help fix. Meanwhile, Gidget the Pomeranian (Slate) attempts to rescue Max’s favourite toy from an all-cats apartment, and Snowball the Bunny (Hart) sets out to free a white tiger from the circus…
