secret life of pets cast Louis C.K. movies

There are at least two scenes stolen from Toy Story 2. The easy slam against The Secret Life of Pets is that it's shameless carbon copy of Toy Story, which is hardly fair. There is unfortunately a movie attached to the colors. It's like crack for your color receptors: one little glance and all you want to do is stare and stare until your eyes dry out. The building itself looks like a festive doll's house, cherry-red exterior walls with big windows letting us peek inside the individual apartments are filled with fun shapes in joyous summertime colors, and they overlook an autumnal Central Park that's decked out in candy apple red and tangerine orange.

Especially in the early going, when the film consists of several diorama-sized scenes taking place in various apartments in a building somewhere in Manhattan.

At the very least, I have now positively identified the man responsible for almost everything I've genuinely admired in any of the studio's movies.īut as I was saying, the production design in The Secret Life of Pets is pretty appealing. So I think there's a possibility that I've just uncovered the secret genius behind the Illumination throne. It's by Eric Guillon, who doubles as the character designer - the same role he filled on The Lorax, how about that, and he performed both tasks in Despicable Me 2 and Minions, both of which did indeed have fairly enjoyable '60s-pastiche worlds to play around in ( DM2 much more so than Minions). Well, they did it again: I like the production design of The Secret Life of Pets. After five features released by Illumination in six years, it remained the brightest spark of life in their dull-eyed canon.

The lines were appropriately Seussian, but reconceived to fit into the three-dimensional space of computer animation, and the colors were a right marvel.

Absolutely terrible goddamn movie, you understand - but the look of it was pretty swell. Four unfathomably long years ago, so long ago that animation studio Illumination Entertainment didn't much seem like they'd necessarily amount to anything, particularly given that one-third of its output up to that point was the incomprehensibly awful Hop, I remember being impressed by the production design of the studio's Dr.
