If you’re an animal lover, nothing tugs at the heartstrings quite like a movie about the object of our affections. Children, in particular, are enraptured by cute animals, whether it’s pet dogs with a mission to save the world, or a lion cub being freed from captivity. And any adult who has ever loved an animal – be it cat, dog, horse, or even dolphin – can’t fail to delight in a movie with these amazing creatures at the centre.
The movies with real animals are sublime in their skill and trainability, but even the animated adventures succeed in drawing us in; they all make us laugh – and cry. For an animal-lover, nothing does tear-jerking better than an emotional scene involving our beloved four-legged friends (not forgetting the finned and winged ones, too). And for any soon to be pet owners you'll find a colorful selection of star-studded pets to name your new cat or dog after.
