Voiced by the likes of Louis C.K. and _Modern Family_‘s Eric Stonestreet, the trailer features a hilarious montage of house-pets up to all sorts of silly behaviour. Sadly, the cat-video watching masses will have to wait till next summer because the movie is only scheduled to be released on July 8, 2016. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3928028/the-secret-life-of-pets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3928028/the-secret-life-of-pets/"},"headline":"Watch the Adorable New Trailer for The Secret Life Of Pets","datePublished":"2015-06-19T12:48:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:21:29.072Z","description":"A fresh take on the talking animals trope","url":"https://time.com/3928028/the-secret-life-of-pets/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6ec45c9feb4e00f0/6988555c0b72e39fa16e48ef/secret-life-of-pets.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tara John","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tara-john/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6ec45c9feb4e00f0/6988555c0b72e39fa16e48ef/secret-life-of-pets.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Secret Life of Pets","caption":"Secret Life of Pets","creditText":"Universal","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3928028/the-secret-life-of-pets/","name":"Watch the Adorable New Trailer for The Secret Life Of Pets"}}]}] ```
