The Secret Life of Pets, originally slated for release next February and starring the voices of Louis C.K. and Kevin Hart, will open July 8, 2016, Universal and Illumination announced today.
The film credits suggest a promising amount of inbreeding in the Illumination kennel and a bunch of Despicable DNA specifically: it will be directed by Chris Renaud (co-director of Despicable Me and The Lorax) and Yarrow Cheney (production designer of Despicable Me and The Lorax), with a script by Despicable Me franchise regulars Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul and Minions writer Brian Lynch.
