“The Secret Life of Pets 2” has released several new trailers in the past month ahead of its summer release.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 is coming to theaters this summer from Illumination Entertainment, the company behind the Despicable Me franchise, as well as interesting adaptations of Dr Seuss picture books.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 sees Patton Oswalt (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Agents of SHIELD) take over the main role of Max the Jack Russell Terrier from Louis CK. Other dogs in the film are Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) as Max’s brother Duke, Jenny Slate (Parks and Recreation) is Max’s Pomeranian girlfriend Gidget, and new character Tiffany Haddish (Daisy the Shih Tzu).

Kevin Hart (Ride Along, Night School), Ellie Kemper (The Office, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Lake Bell (Boston Legal) are all reprising their roles from the first film.

In the “Gidget Trailer,” which premiered on Super Bowl Sunday during Puppy Bowl XV, Chloe the cat (Bell) tries to teach Gidget how to be a feline, including lessons in Sophistication, Grace and Attitude. This involves using the litter box and playing the ever-popular game Gravity Works. It also means wearing a sock as a tail extension and a pink headband with cat ears.

Harrison Ford voices a sheepdog named Rooster in his first animated role ever.

In his trailer, Rooster terrifies a startled Max, and removes his cone, stating “There. Now you’re cured.” This actions-first, think-later approach fits Ford’s history well, especially his most well-known roles of Han Solo in Star Wars and archeologist/adventurer Indiana Jones.

Rooster is an unimpressed farm dog with no patience for stupid visitors from the city. Also in this trailer, Duke (Stonestreet) gets insulted by a sarcastic cow, and Max is chased by a large turkey.

This movie is a follow-up to The Secret Life of Pets, a 2016 adventure film set in New York City. According to Box Office Mojo, it pulled in $368 million at the domestic box office, hauling in $875 million worldwide, which is the highest-ever picture from Illumination Entertainment.
