In stores today: THE UNPETABLES return for outrageous Unpetable adventures in the big city!

Out of the petting zoo and into the city! In their second hilarious adventure, best friends Pigmund and Lizárdo discover a crazy old movie theatre…full of secrets. And tasty nachos.

Not long ago, a pot-bellied pig and an iguana declared independence from their petting zoo. And now Pigmund and Lizárdo have stepped off of a bus and into BIG CITY CITY! They are THE UNPETABLES – and, if you need a pet, you can hire them. That is, if you sign a pet contract that says: NO PETTING ALLOWED!

In this adventure, the Unpetables are ON THE ROAD and IN SEARCH OF THEIR DESTINY. But will Pigmund be distracted from their destiny by a mysterious movie theatre cat? Or will Maintenance Man Kenny finally track them down and spoil the show? Grab a bucket of popcorn and find out.
