Other mistake: Duke is running through the city while dragging Max by his leash. A close-up shows Max being pulled between the bars of a metal fence, but the gap is much too small for Duke to have passed through.
The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Directed by: Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney
Starring: Kevin Hart, Lake Bell, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet
Audio problem: The Rabbit leads the two main dogs past the snakes with the password. The first few words he says, his mouth isn't moving.
Continuity mistake: When Max runs in the bathroom to complain about Duke, the bathroom door opens into the bathroom against the tub, but when she pushes Max out of the bathroom the door suddenly is on the other side of the door frame opening outwards into the living room. (00:12:20)
Trivia: There is a post-credit scene of a pet masquerade party, in which Buddy the dachshund arrives dressed as a walking Teddy Bear. Mel the pug arrives dressed as a minion. "Secret Life of Pets" director Chris Renaud also directed the "Despicable Me" films which features the minions, served as executive producer the film "Minions" and also and lent his voice as one of the minions.
Snowball: Welcome my dogs! Oh, you guys look weird. Hurry up, come on in.
Buddy: You said it was a costume party.
Mel: Why do you listen to me?
Pops: That ball of fluff's got a screw loose.
Max: Maybe the legend of dogs coming from wolves is jus... is just wrong. Maybe, like, maybe one puppy asked his mom, "Where did we come from?" And the mom said "Woof." And the kid was like, "Oh wolves?" And she was like, "Yeah, fine."
