‘The Secret Life of Pets 2’ Trailer: Harrison Ford Intimidates as a Dog Named Rooster

Illumination’s celebrating #LoveYourPetDay with the release of a new trailer for The Secret Life of Pets 2. The new nearly two-minute trailer introduces a new player in the world of animated pets: Rooster the dog, voiced by none other than Harrison Ford (the Star Wars and Indiana Jones film franchises).

There’s no mistaking Harrison Ford’s voice as his character schools city dog Max (voiced by Patton Oswalt) about life on the farm. And, in particular, about dealing with cones and turkeys.

In addition to Patton Oswalt and Harrison Ford, the sequel’s voice cast includes Lake Bell as Chloe, Hannibal Buress as Buddy, Dana Carvey as Pops, and Tiffany Haddish as Daisy. Kevin Hart is Snowball, Ellie Kemper is Katie, Bobby Moynihan is Mel, Jenny Slate is Gidget, and Eric Stonestreet voices Duke.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 will open in theaters on June 7, 2019.

The much-anticipated family-friendly sequel was directed by Chris Renaud and Jonathan Del Val from a script by Brian Lynch. (Lynch and Renaud also wrote and directed the original 2016 film.) Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy produced the sequel.

The official synopsis hasn’t been released however it’s known the sequel will explore the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day, just like the first Secret Life film. The original animated movie hit theaters on July 8, 2016 and, according to Illumination, scored “the best opening ever for an original film, animated or otherwise.” The budget was estimated to have been $75 million which was surpassed with the first weekend’s domestic gross of $104 million. After completing its theatrical run, The Secret Life of Pets earned the #8 spot on the list of the all-time biggest animated films domestically with a gross of $368 million. Worldwide, the animated comedy rang up $875 million over its time in theaters.
