Animal sidekicks in superhero stories are mostly meant to provide a bit of comic relief and an opportunity to sell more toys. At best, they might get a plot line where they’re ignored and underestimated by a villain, right up until they save the human heroes from their latest predicament.

Warner Bros.’ new animated theatrical feature DC League of Super-Pets embraces those tropes while putting an entirely new spin on them: a plot driven by an evil animal sidekick who wants to salvage a supervillain’s thwarted plan. That clever twist on a silly concept drives a surprisingly sweet and funny movie that’s absolutely packed with rapid-fire jokes designed to appeal equally to pet-lovers and DC Comics diehards.
