I honestly am not a huge fan of both films, or Illumination in general (although I have to admit my fondness for Alexandre Desplat's incredible NYC jazz/big band-fusion score)... but this attraction is incredibly adorable. Almost all of the animatronics are really good, with the exception of Duke in the queue who just feels kind of off... you can tell why he doesn't speak for the rest of the attraction proper. Otherwise it's filled with wonderful setpieces, gags and a Disney-esque story progression. This is a dark ride we really haven't seen for a long time: elaborate, but focused for families and not interactive. It uses modern techniques and blends them with old-school ideas, and lots of great kinetic additions such as theatrical fog, mist, fiber optics, etc.
The idea that you're a stray puppy and you can see yourself is absolutely brilliant. The screens at the end may be a tad too long, but thankfully there is an animatronic-filled scene to cap things off. I was also stunned at how long the ride is, as I heard it was a variation of 3 to 5 minutes, and it turned out to be on the latter side. I give this a hearty two-thumbs up and I'm hoping they fast-track this to Florida ASAP.
