No, the questions and possibilities raised by this new feature-length cartoon - antically directed by Chris Renaud and his co-director, Yarrow Cheney - are too deep and perplexing to be discussed in such crass commercial terms.ĭoes the movie perhaps mean to enlighten the stereotypically inclined animal lovers in the audience - to show us that dogs can be more than dumb, slobbering oafs and that not all cats are contemptuous, self-absorbed snobs?

Now that we’ve observed the secret lives of bees, the American teenager and Walter Mitty, does this latest tell-all actually contain any secrets worth spilling?
