Pets Trailer and Key Art Reveal the Bryce Dallas Howard Documentary
Disney+ has revealed the trailer and key art for the upcoming documentary Pets, which will premiere on National Pet Day, April 11. Pets explores the extraordinary relationship that exists between animals and their people, all around the world.
From Disney Branded Television, Imagine Documentaries, and directed by Bryce Dallas Howard (The Mandalorian), the documentary invites viewers on an uplifting journey that showcases the universal love transcending species, filled with moments of laughter, tenderness, and genuine emotion.
Following her documentary Dads in 2019, Howard explores another topic that is very close to her heart. Marking this as her second documentary feature, she perfectly curates her love and interest in animals to relate to any viewer, no matter what their relationship with the pets in their life is like.
“Directing a documentary about the relationship between pets and their people has been a dream for years. There’s something about these wordless intuitive bonds, full of mischief and love, that feel like magic,” said Bryce Dallas Howard.
“And pet videos? They tap into such pure innocence and happiness, the kind of laughter that catches you off guard and reminds you why we love them so much.
“Working with the incredible teams at Imagine Documentaries and Disney Branded Television was an absolute gift, and my hope is that audiences feel the same joy watching this film that we did while making it.”
Humorous and heartfelt, the film profiles a diverse cast of characters from every-day pet guardians to dedicated animal rescuers and beyond, highlighting the uniquely vital connections they share with their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and even birds of prey.
With a mix of inspirational stories, archival footage, viral videos, and engaging interviews, Pets takes us on a hilarious and poignant journey that celebrates love, loss, and licks along the way.
The original film from Disney Branded Television is produced by Imagine Documentaries, which recently produced the EMMY Award-winning documentary Jim Henson Idea Man and the inspirational Disney+ docuseries Harlem Ice.
The film is produced by Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Meredith Kaulfers, Bryce Dallas Howard and Elisabeth Jamison. The executive producers are Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.
