'Strays' is a heartwarming and humorous animated movie that tells the story of Reggie, a lovable dog who finds himself abandoned on the streets of a bustling city. Reggie's world is turned upside down when he is left behind by his owner, Doug, a lowlife character who clearly doesn't deserve the loyalty of his furry friend. Will Ferrell does an excellent job of voicing Reggie, capturing his innocence, optimism, and unwavering belief that Doug will come back for him.
As Reggie adjusts to life on the streets, he meets Bug, a streetwise stray with a quick wit and a foul mouth. Jamie Foxx brings Bug to life with his distinctive voice and charismatic performance. Bug is a free spirit who loves his freedom and has no time for owners, whom he sees as nothing more than suckers. Despite his rough exterior, Bug has a heart of gold and becomes a mentor to Reggie, teaching him the ways of the street and helping him to see that he was in a toxic relationship with Doug.
As Reggie spends more time with Bug, he begins to realize that his former owner was not the loving and devoted companion he thought he was. Doug is revealed to be a heartless sleazeball, more interested in his own selfish desires than in the welfare of his pet. Reggie's journey of self-discovery is both entertaining and moving, as he learns to stand on his own four feet and find his place in the world. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, each with their own unique story to tell. 'Strays' is a must-watch for animal lovers and anyone who has ever experienced the pain of being left behind.
