Remember the days when you couldn’t wait to get a new box of cereal to get the awesome prize out! We would try to eat cereal everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so mom would have to go buy another box. When you opened the new box, you would lean it to the left and to the right and stick your arm way in to feel for that prize that was usually at the very bottom. I have to say, I was a master at collecting the prizes.
Remember when you couldn’t wait to see a new movie and you were there on opening night? Ok so, maybe we still do this but I haven’t dragged my mom to a cartoon movie in years! My husband and I have been seeing the trailer of The Secret Life Of Pets and decided we were going to see it with our friends and my mom (for her birthday). 
For their fifth fully-animated feature-film collaboration, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures present The Secret Life of Pets, a comedy about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day.
In partnership with The Secret Life of Pets, specially marked boxes of General Mills Big G Cereals:

• Honey Nut Cheerios
• Cheerios Multi Grain
• Lucky Charms
• Trix
• Cocoa Puffs

All my favorites will feature free character collectibles, including: Max the pampered terrier mix, Duke the massive mutt, Snowball the leader of the flushed pets, Buddy the sarcastic dachshund, Gidget the naïve, but gutsy Pomeranian and Chloe the fat cat.
On shelves at retailers nationwide now through July, while supplies last, General Mills Big G Cereals is offering you an opportunity to feature all of the limited edition PETS collectibles and create a custom DIY pet house!

No kids, just my mom and I painted and created our DIY pet house!
Perfect for fans of all ages, these character collectibles allow you to bring your furry friend with you wherever you go– from backpacks to car keys and more.

As all us adults sat there watching The Secret Life Of Pets, it made me think about my dog Gemma at home. Trying to figure out which character she would be. You actually related to what each pet was doing and why. I often pictured Gemma doing the same things at home. You loved each and every personality of all the pets even with their flaws. The movie was immensely entertaining with an original story line like no other. The comedy superstar cast will entertain an audience of all ages and will have you falling in love with all the pets.
