Just like in the real world, the movies are always better off when pets are involved – whether they’re loyal companions, or loveable mischief-makers. Here are five movies best enjoyed alongside your very own furry friend – just be sure to hold each other close during any sad or scary bits.
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)
Forget Leonardo DiCaprio surviving the wilderness in The Revenant – this Disney live-action classic makes for a much more fun watch. When dogs Shadow and Chance and prissy cat Sassy accidentally find themselves stranded in a mix-up around a family vacation, they make a daring journey home across the Sierra Nevada mountain range, overcoming waterfalls, mountain lions, bear cubs, porcupines and stinky skunks to return to the safety of their beloved owners.
Babe (1995)
Got a Border Collie – or hey, even a house-trained pig? There’s inspirational wisdom for everyone in the heart-warming tale a peppy piglet carving his own path in the world. Babe’s fellow farm animals might laugh at him for defying convention as a sheep-herding pig, but the trust and companionship of Farmer Hoggett gives him the chance to reach his full potential and share his sheep-pigging skills with the world.

Keanu (2016)
Cats and action movies don’t often mix – but they’re a dynamite combination in Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key’s daft comedy. When schlubby Rell is dumped by his girlfriend, he finds solace in a stupendously adorable kitten he names Keanu. Except, the kitty belongs to the head of a drug cartel and is swiftly cat-napped – leading Rell and his buddy Clarence on a danger-filled rescue mission. Keanu is a film for anyone who loves cats so much, they’d take on the entire criminal underworld to save one.

The Secret Life Of Pets (2016)
This comedy from Minions maestros Illumination Entertainment might be animated, but it might as well be a documentary, considering how accurately it depicts the things pets get up to away from prying human eyes: obedient pooches who patiently wait for their owners, anarchic cats who sneak their way into the fridge, budgies who dream of daring flights… Come the end credits, you’ll be giving your pet an I-know-what-you-get-up-to look.
