All Pets Have Secrets, Theirs Are Super. If the Justice League owned pets, well here's their origin story. And no it's not live-action and not directed by Zack Snyder. Actually, that would be kind of cool but this is from the Rock. All of these pets come together to defeat one villain and it all goes sideways. But you know, friendship helps and this film really goes into friendship and troubled past. But it comes with a sweetness of animation and this film is legit perfect for kids. Adults will have a lot of fun watching this film because Warner Bros can't get a sequel already for Justice League. Join me in the city of Metropolis and let's fight some bad guys with your pet turtle or your dog. Whatever pet you like. Plot: It tells the story of Superman's pet dog Krypto and shelter dog Ace who work with other animals to rescue the captured superheroes from Lex Luthor and his pet, Lulu. This film had charm and it delivered it. This film is obviously aimed toward kids but parents and DC fans can enjoy this film like a normal DC movie. It has the Justice League and it has the Rock voice acting as Krypto. What more could you ask for? The characters in this film are funny and adorable. Krypto is very charming in this film and his story arc is pretty good. I really liked how his character was trying to be a superhero dog but he couldn't fit in like a normal dog. With this relationship with the other dogs, the chemistry between Krypto and Ace played by Kevin Hart, was also hilarious as well. It's the dynamic duo because The Rock and Kevin Hart are always hating and being bros together. Their chemistry was natural and seeing them as pets were freaking hilarious. The other pet characters were also pretty good as well. Diego Luna as Chip was so adorable and funny. The turtle played by Natasha Lyonne was hilarious. Her character got away with a lot of swearing and adult jokes. The jokes in this film are hilarious for all ages. But the animal jokes and adult jokes were more hilarious. It's pretty funny that this film got away with a lot of jokes that could've landed a PG-13 rating because of Dwayne Johnson and that turtle. But they still got away with it. Disney would never. The other characters are pretty good as well including the Justice League. I can't believe that one day, Keanu Reeves would be playing as Batman. Now that's perfect casting! I really liked how they made fun of superhero tropes and I loved the many references from the DC universe. The pet villain was definitely cliché but funny as well. The story and plot were pretty good. The story is simple and the plot is well developed within the main pet characters. The hall of justice scene was probably my favorite scene because it was serious and it connected so well with the pets and the overall story. It was heartwarming and many families will enjoy it. The animation is also pretty great as well. While it's not Pixar-level, it is still smooth and it has that good old cartoon vibe. Plus, it respects the classic DC suits and this feels like a comic-book film ripped straight out from the comics. I really enjoyed the presentation of this film and the comedy works well, alongside the characters and voice acting. But this film tripped onto some flaws that still managed to be a good animated film but not up to Pixar standards. The film is obviously meant to aim at kids so you will hear fart jokes and other kids' jokes that will make you cringe or not find it funny. This film is directed toward kids so many general audiences will have some mixed reactions to it unless you're a parent or a DC fan. Some of the characters were pretty underwhelming including the villain. I thought the villain was too cliché even though the pet villain was pretty funny. Lex Luthor was under-used in the film and I wished we could've got more of his character. The Justice League were too easy to be beaten in the film by pets which gave me a mixed reaction. The plot could've used a little bit of work by potentially adding more personal stories about the other pets. Plus, after watching the end credit scene, this is not a spoiler since the Rock already posted it on his socials, this film was an obvious setup for Black Adam in animated form. It felt like a promotional film for his live-action Black Adam film and it definitely was. But it was still a cool end-credit scene. While this film isn't like a Pixar story-level film or a DC serious film, it was still a great animated film just to please kids and DC fans as well because DC really needs to step up with their films. By the looks of it, it looks like this film really helped get DC back on the spot with the majority of the help from The Batman. Plus, DC is great with their animation stories than Marvel which is a plus. This DC animated film was very charming and fun from beginning to end. Funny performances from the iconic duo, The Rock and Kevin Hart. A good story with great voice acting and interesting characters. The animation is smooth and it's basically a film made for kids but with the spice of DC. This will please all ages and if you are desperate for DC content, well this is the film for you. I really enjoyed this film and I can't wait for the future of this new franchise. For the next film, please bring in Mark Wahlberg. Now Playing in Theaters and on VOD.
