An average movie

Some time ago, it must have been last year summer, my wife told me that she saw this hilarious trailer about an animated feature dealing with some pets. Even though I am a massive movie junk, I had seriously no idea what she was talking about but it made me curious and when I looked it up, I found out that it was in fact this movie. Eventually, we had to wait a whole year to finally watch the damned thing but we managed to see it with all the kids, even with my step-daughter's boyfriend which was really neat. Well, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. What bothered me the most, I think, was how they shamelessly copied 'Toy Story'. Indeed, the concept was basically that, when we are not around, the pets seem to have some secret life. On top of that, one of them suddenly has to face the competition of a new pet and becomes really jealous and worried about his situation. I mean, seriously, you have to agree, it was pretty much exactly the same idea that was developed in 'Toy Story'. The only thing they really added was some ridiculous and unbelievable bad guy living in the sewers with a whole community. I mean, the best moments were when they tried to provide some funny but still fairly realistic scenes but, unfortunately, they came up with a rather convoluted and underwhelming plot. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and it was above all really nice to see it with the whole family.
