He’s exactly what a children’s cautionary tale is. He isn’t going after Puss to be a villain who wants to kill the good guy, he’s going after puss because Puss can’t seem to grasp onto the value of his own life, his last life. Which is exactly what’s the core value of scary nursery rhymes or stories. There’s stories that parents teach their children in order to prevent wrongdoings, such as not staying out late alone or to not poke a bear with a stick (which is also a joke in the movie, hehe). In a sense, he’s like saw where he demands Puss to appreciate life more.
The cool thing about Death is that he OOZES intimidation. Every time he's on screen the atmosphere immediately changes to a dark and ominous tone. Another thing I love about him is that since he's the very embodiment of Death; in the end he will always win. Doesn't matter who you are and what you've done, Death will always win. Which is why you never see him worried, or in a hurry. In my opinion it makes this character one of if not THE coolest villain DreamWorks has ever made.
@@candychocolates Well technically, he would be a villain in this context. He is actively NOT doing his job by killing Puss before his time, he has a vendetta against Puss for disrespecting him, not just once but 8 times. This is personal.
It's also important that he isn't the main antagonist. Death is just there, on the sidelines, biding its time and waiting, because, in the end, everyone will come to him.
Puss: You are no bounty hunter. You are... Death: Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. Im Death. Straight. Up. Coolest animated villain I’ve ever seen.
Whoever wrote this character is a genius. All the little touches, the whistling, the change of style of animation, the mystery... So wonderfully executed.
This is a brilliant concept. Having death itself taking on the form of a wolf as the antithesis to Puss is such a great idea, that because Puss has 9 lives, that would offend someone like death itself that it can't claim him. For a cartoon with a U rating, this is some deep storytelling.
@@jaredbennett1849 why would big bad wolf/death try to kill red riding hood? That's more of a natural thing for the big bad wolf to kill her, not because she needs to die. So no, he isn't the big bad wolf.
when I saw the antagonist of puss in boots 2 I thought "eh, the antagonist being a wolf is kinda cliche isn't it?" but once I watched it my mind was completely changed
Though Death doesn’t agree with the idea of cats having 9 lives, that wasn’t why he pursued Puss personally. He pursued him because of the way he was disrespected, disrespected by how casually and carelessly Puss threw away each of his lives before the ninth, by the way he continued on as if Death could not touch him. He pursued Puss specifically to remind him that Death comes for everyone and that *everyone* very much included him.
I love how Death didn't get ended by some stupid magic, I at first thought he would die in that fire magic of the star, but when he just walked through it, I was happy, a cool villain doesn't suffer a stupid end, instead he is shown to be honorable when he sees Puss has learnt to appreciate his life he was given.
The thing is, Death isn't a villain in the traditional sense- merely an antagonist towards Puss. Death itself is unbiased, and the great equalizer. Everyone dies. Nobody is greater or lesser than anyone else in death. Death used here was simply a lesson- value the life that you have. Once that lesson was learned, Death was no longer something to be afraid of or something to fight. You accept that Death will claim you in the end, so you make the Life you have now worth living.
@@noxlumine death wasn't being unbiased here though, he was specifically out for puss before his time. He reasoned since he had wasted his other 8 lives, he would just "cheat" and take this was now anyway since she would probably waste this life too. That's why the puss life with the playing cards is about to say "hey thats cheating!" before death cuts him off early. Death wasn't just doing his job or being unbiased, this was personal, he was definitely acting like a villain here, it was all for his own satisfaction of ending the legend of puss early himself. When he realizes puss as the legend is already dead, he loses interest in puss. He didn't care about teaching him a lesson or respect. It was a selfish desire for death
@@tomsektul31 Nope. Without death you can't have life. Some trees for example need fire since their seeds can only open from the heat of a fire. And once the fire has passed the seeds fall to the burned ground and start growing. The ash from the burned vegetation becomes fertilizer for the seedling. Predators eat other animals to live, so those animals die in order for others to live.
"The souls swirl and writhe. I now know the truth of mortals: all paths lead to death... whatever their struggles, whatever their triumphs, they die. That is Wisdom." This version of Death in this movie is just top tier. He's so menacing and otherworldly, but at the same time grounded. He's been cheated and disrespected by Puss. And that's all he desired in the end, respect of him and the reality of him. It isn't that he desires validation, he demands it. He's not a child throwing a tantrum or a villain who is evil for evil's sake. He is Death. Straight up.
thats what makes this brilliant. I've always liked depictions of death in stories, from Terry Pratchetts, to Castlevanias, to dream of the endless, and this take here is a fresh take not really seen before. The concept of Death being a wolf, an apex hunter, something in the wild you would fear chasing you down, and doing so with twin sickles that form into a kind of Scythe, thats just a great concept. Its so refreshing to see this level of focus put into an antagonist, something disney use to do, but can't seem to anymore.
@@MrOrcshaman well calling death a antagonist or villain is incorrect. Death is not good nor bad, not hero or villain. Death is in the middle. He is gray. Because everyone will one day meet him. And if anyone tries to run and hide form him, well it's just delete the inevitable. As death says " i always finish my job. Everybody tries to fight me, but i always win." And when you hear his signature vessel, you know your time are numbered.
@@yurabuchkov8138 Not even gray, because gray is still tied to good and bad in some way. I think neutral fits better here, because death comes to every living being eventually, no matter how good or bad they can be
Equals? Death has no equal. Puss understood this too. He knew he couldn't actually ever defeat death, or even stall him for long. Death was simply playing with his food
Except Sisyphus. He locked him in a trunk and was able to live a second life without death looking for him. He did die in the end but only he held death in captivity.
They did such an incredible job portraying death. He actually scared me as well! That whistle and the glowing red eyes, seriously dreamworks that was a 10/10 to send shivers down the audience's spine as well.
The fact Death acknowledged Puss and Boots at the ending gave me so much respect towards him. Instead of killing him, he let him slide after he Puss and Boots already learnt
Death has been disrespected and mocked by Puss in Boots for so long. Even into his last life, Puss is in denial and continues laughing at Death. With that in mind, it's easy to see that Death was *angry* at Puss. Death is a force to be respected, because with that also comes value for life. Puss has thrown 8 of them away now. Death *wanted* to claim Puss' last life; it was no bluff or scheme. In the end, he is pleased, but disappointed that Puss has genuinely learned his lesson. He curses himself in spanish for "playing with his food", and thus giving Puss the time to learn his lesson. He knows that he will eventually have Puss regardless, but the part of him still smarting from the 8 lives of disrespect is frustrated, less with the fact that Puss has learned to value his last life, and more with the fact that Death finds himself proud of Puss for learning his lesson, and respecting him for it. And thus he feels obligated to let Puss go - for now... to live his life, and catch up with him another day. Perhaps on that day, not unlike the one brother from the story in Harry Potter, he will greet Death as an old friend.
Well, technically, Death Wolf did "kill" the old careless Puss in Boots. That chase of his forced kitty to change and become someone else. Someone more mature and reasonable... and less interesting for Grim Reaper. Alas.
The reason why Death Hunt puss, not because his last Life, no. But because puss doesn't respect his Life and always taking it for granted just because he's a cat with 9 life, but when puss finally decided to not take his life for granted, he can finally enjoy himself and to be careful not get killed easily, and Even hero need help sometimes
2:37 great paralelism between Puss being in the reflection of the scythe on the first fight and wolf being the one in the reflection in the last fight, where puss was the one in command then, good catch, hadn't noticed
@@joshberkin5567 because pixar and disney are meant for kids, Dreamwork embodies and brings in new younger audiences as well as the older generation who have been watching from 2000 onwards. It's a brilliant marketing strategy and a smart decision to dive deep into a new animation style. The Bad Guys was perfect in every other detail but this 100% destroys the bad guys by how well its done, the character arc, the story its simply magnificent
Finally, they managed to do what Disney lost long ago - make a deeply haunting yet beautiful villain, a mesmerizing character. I've been waiting for something like this for years.
dont sleep on this film honestly it sucks most people wont see it without getting spoiled a bit but the atmosphere and unease that comes with it is immaculate its like you hear the whistle the whole film and then you actually hear it and you're like oh fuck
ayo fr im glad i saw this film after watching Puss In Boots the movie, then PIB the 3 diablos, then PIB series then PIB series tale short film then best one yet with the spiderverse effect THIS ONE
You did such an excellent job on this fan edit. Felt a shiver go up my spine with that whistle and I really love the symbolism at 0:07 with the coins over both eyes in combination with the universal "I'm keeping my eyes on you" from Death.
Nop it's coins left by puss as a distraction in is escape from jack, but it's also a reference from long ago where people would put coins on the eyes off the dead to pay the ride over the stix too the afterlife.
@@crowofjudgement8810 no they're coins. It's a reference to how people used to be buried with coins over their eyes as a sign of good luck or something
I love how when Puss first encounters Death, his fighting is more performative while in the last fight he really gives his all and fights with everything he has. He is fighting for his life, not to out on a show, brag or be praised.
Love how we're introduced to Death with a whistle, we have no idea who he is or that he's a threat similar to Puss not knowing he's staring in the face of Death until he draws blood. Then the whistle turns darker, we know what it means and we're scared because we feel Puss' fear, we are anticipating another encounter, looking over our shoulders with anxiousness and when we see Death it's chilling. But then the ending where he's leaving with a whistle, it's lighter, less threatening almost pleasant like when he's first introduced. Now the whistle holds understanding just like Puss understands he isn't immortal and that life is precious, he also understands and accepts Death, and Death leaves as an equal and not his enemy/tormentor. Also I just noticed but at 2:37 we see Puss's eyes reflected in Death's sickles because he fights not knowing who Death is but he's afraid because he's being bested in combat. But at 2:38 we see Death's eyes reflected in his sickles showing that Puss must overcome his fear but also understands that he is facing death itself. It's a subtle but nice touch in his development throughout the movie. Just like when Death stares at Puss's eyes but no longer sees arrogance and ignorance in them
I genuinely thought I was the only one to notice this! It's a really nice touch, and the way I interpret it is that the song continuing, just as life goes on in spite of death.
I'm glad people like the character so much. I thought I was the only one who appreciated how well designed he is. Happy to see people appreciate a good design no matter the format.
What I like here is that the lesson is not, you should accept death, or you should fear it, but what makes death important and scary is the same thing, the live you live and fighting for it in the face of death is what is really important. Death will at one point win but fighting it until you lose is important, because the live you live is always worth it.
Love the little nods to how Death is represented... the grim wolf, coins over the eyes, sickles as weapons... even the whistling is on point. Literal walking death.
I really appreciate you using every last bit of Death from the footage. It's tough to make a compilation with so few scenes of a character but you made every shot count in tight delivery that sets it apart from any other edit I've seen. Really hoping to see more of Death in the future with more scenes and shots for editors like you to work with. Great work!
I love the ending we got. While Puss have the upper hand in the last fight. He knows he can't won, not against the being in front of him. Against a literal concept that has taken even the mightiest of warriors. A being who existed since the beginning of time. He cannot win against that and he acknowledges that. He even acknowledge that they WILL meet again. Because no one could escape death.
while Disney is busy making everyone gay, Dreamworks putting out badass movies.....No political agenda, no alphabets, just 100% pure badass Orange cat kicking some ass.
If you guys didn’t know Death is supposed to symbolise a hellhound Hell hounds are the devils pet And basically when someone is about to die he unleashes his hellhounds to go and kill them.
I remember how nuts it was when we first saw blood coming down from Puss's head, the serious tone almost never seen before... It felt like even you as the viewer was thrown into a trap you didn't expect and you had to fight for your life
I really hope this means we're going to continue to get more well made animated movies, I'm sick of disneys 3d animation, I want something with style and character. Spider-verse really made a mark on the industry and I hope it lasts
Dew it! It's really worth it. "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" is a perfect mix of wholesomeness and darkness. It's both hilarious and heart touching. Haven't seen that well made cartoon in years. Everything is perfectly balanced.
saw it today with my little one having not seen any trailers, just something to do of a saturday - but holy smoke, both the story and visuals were off the chain. a must see in the cinema.
I think we can all agree, that death isn’t the bad guy, he was just mad that Puss never appreciated his lives, because in the DreamWorks universe, Cats have 9 lives, where others only have 1. Death isn’t the villain, he’s an example that we should try to live our life with good choices, and to live it to the fullest.
This whole movie was Puss's redemption. From the narrative's perspective, Death serves as a catalyst for Puss's change of heart. In the end, he truly became a fearless hero and a legend, battling with Death himself.
Death is such an interesting antagonist. At first, he seems to be like what most people think of him: absolutely terrifying, unpredictable, cruel, and sadistic. But in the end, Death is just a natural force doing his job. And all he wants is people appreciating the life they have and show him some respect.
I just realized that the coins on the eyes scene for Death, is a clue that he is the Grim Reaper. The Greek used to put coins on the eyes of the dead so that the spirits could pay the toll for crossing the River Styx. It's called Charon's Obol.
Wow, just a brilliant beautiful job. This is one of the best edits I've seen. There is no pretentious music, to the rhythm of which cuts occur (and often this music does not even fit).
Loved how everybody thought, the charcter was the big bad wolf as a bounty hunter and then ends up being death. I actually got the whistle as a notification and sometimes I forget to turn it off at night lol
I think after this experience Puss finally learned to show Death some respect and Not laugh In the face of him I only could imagine how pissed death was after his past 8 Death’s so when he was on his final life he decided to finally reveal himself in his actual form to really scare him to keep his last life as well as show respect for the Dead and Supernatural realm
The character design is beautiful, but I love the way Death's leitmotif is used. It gets used a few times to strike fear in the audience, but the scene where he reveals who he is doesn't use it. When I was watching that scene, I was listening for the leitmotif, and didn't expect him to show up so suddenly.
Is spine-chilling like this is no joke feel so bad for puss I mean literally has to face the eyes of death standing across from him I imagine that puss would be traumatized absolutely terrify
If you're wondering why death is often whistling as he walks In Spanish folklore,death is often depicted as a whistling man,if the whistling sounds closer you're in the clear,but if it sounds further away,it's said that's a sign that you would soon die...
Death Wolf: [revealing himself from the shadows] "FEAR!!! Sorry to crash the party with your past lives, or your past deaths, as I like to call them. I was there to witness all of them. Each. Frivolous. End. But you... didn't even notice me, because "Puss in Boots laughs in the face of Death", right? But you're not laughing now." Puss in Boots: [shocked/horrified upon realizing the mysterious Wolf's identity] "You are no bounty hunter. You are..." Death Wolf: [revealing his true name] "Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. I'M DEATH. STRAIGHT. UP. And I have come for you, Puss in Boots." Puss in Boots: "B-But... I'm still alive..." Death Wolf: [chuckles sinisterly while showing his complete distaste for Cats, as well as the real reason as to why he want's to kill Puss in Boots] "You know, I'm not a cat person. I find the very idea of nine lives ABSURD!" (points a sickle at Puss, glaring at him) "And you didn't value any of them. Sooo, why don’t I do us both a favor, and take this last one, now?" Puss' 2nd Life: "That's cheating!" Death Wolf: [throws a sickle behind him into that Puss' crystal] "Shh, don't tell." [the crystal shatters] Puss's 1st Life: [shouting before being shattered] "Run, Puss in Boots! Make the wish!" Death Wolf: [before chasing Puss in Boots] "Go ahead, run for it. Makes it more fun for me." [while chasing/attempting to catch/kill Puss in Boots] "Run................................... Run ................................. RUN!!!"
Alright, death for me is in the same ball park as Gaunter Od Dimm, creepy yet cool theme, inevitable and calm, collected and calculating. Yet can flex wherever need to be, Death dodging Puss strikes saying, Slow, Sappy and Sad while Gaunter just stops time. Come to think of it Death doesn't even have the courtesy of stopping time. It's just the pure fact that he is inevitable is what puts him up there as a villain.
I have watched numerous edits on this movie, and I must say the buildup, audio, and editing from you is phenomenal. I keep revisiting it for the feeling of tension and relief for when they come to an accord at the end.
He came for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal, who cheated death and laughed in his face and left when that legend no longer existed.
Pretty sad how people hated on this movie for having blood and ect and being pg, while the same people allow for books about rape to be in schools. Outrageous
Easily my top tier, favorite, villain of any and all villains I've ever bore(?) witness to:) Gonna go see this movie again because it was good, but also because of Death!!!!
This is the best visual example of what it feels like to live with depression. This dark pure evil feeling that is always lurking in the background while you are out there trying to live your live in the best and happiest way possible. This feeling is always on the hunt and sooner or later, everyday or once every while just catches up with you. No matter how fast you run or how mentally at peace or prepared you are…but we always pick it up…keep picking it up, stay strong
Death in this movie is AMAZING And I don’t mean that metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way Amazing straight up
He is Death... But Shrek is Love and Shrek is Life And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. SHREK IS LOVE. SHREK IS LIFE
He’s exactly what a children’s cautionary tale is.

But because puss doesn't respect his Life and always taking it for granted just because he's a cat with 9 life, but when puss finally decided to not take his life for granted, he can finally enjoy himself and to be careful not get killed easily, and Even hero need help sometimes
Even if he wanted he couldnt, he's death he only has power of him if the victim is scared.
2:37 great paralelism between Puss being in the reflection of the scythe on the first fight and wolf being the one in the reflection in the last fight, where puss was the one in command then, good catch, hadn't noticed
they're sickles bro no scythe here then it morphs into a darth maul sickle lol badass
Gawd DAMN
Thank you for pointing this out, i also didnt notice until i watched this edit! Its awesome
Damn that attention to detail bro
Disney and Pixar characters are facing puberty meanwhile Dreamworks has a cat facing death
This comment didn't have the right to make me laugh as much as it did
you made me realize how much darker dreamworks usually is than pixar or disney
That is a perfect sum! Made me laugh much harder than I should have!
@@joshberkin5567 because pixar and disney are meant for kids, Dreamwork embodies and brings in new younger audiences as well as the older generation who have been watching from 2000 onwards. It's a brilliant marketing strategy and a smart decision to dive deep into a new animation style. The Bad Guys was perfect in every other detail but this 100% destroys the bad guys by how well its done, the character arc, the story its simply magnificent
Old school storytelling
2:00 such a good touch
Death says “corre corre gatito” which means “run, run, little cat”.
Finally, they managed to do what Disney lost long ago - make a deeply haunting yet beautiful villain, a mesmerizing character. I've been waiting for something like this for years.
Antagonist*
Woah, I would've slept on this film if not for this, there was some really cool animation in this!
Also nice edit!
dont sleep on this film honestly it sucks most people wont see it without getting spoiled a bit but the atmosphere and unease that comes with it is immaculate its like you hear the whistle the whole film and then you actually hear it and you're like oh fuck
ayo fr im glad i saw this film after watching Puss In Boots the movie, then PIB the 3 diablos, then PIB series then PIB series tale short film then best one yet with the spiderverse effect THIS ONE
@@epicpkerdude I have since now seen it three times, I love it!
Bro this movie was straight up incredible.
1:42 His delivery of this line was premium!
If Wolfs could talk, this is what I would imagine their Voice to be like
Badass
obsessed with the way he says "absurd"
Such a cool and sinister voice. Probably the coolest a villain had in animation since Scar
@@applehazeva2739 exactly!! They chose the right voice actor
Wagner moura is such a tallented guy. Awesome voice actor
You did such an excellent job on this fan edit. Felt a shiver go up my spine with that whistle and I really love the symbolism at 0:07 with the coins over both eyes in combination with the universal "I'm keeping my eyes on you" from Death.
Pretty sure thats just light reflecting off his eyes like you see with a lot of carnivorous animals with good vision
Nop it's coins left by puss as a distraction in is escape from jack, but it's also a reference from long ago where people would put coins on the eyes off the dead to pay the ride over the stix too the afterlife.
@@crowofjudgement8810 no they're coins. It's a reference to how people used to be buried with coins over their eyes as a sign of good luck or something
I love how when Puss first encounters Death, his fighting is more performative while in the last fight he really gives his all and fights with everything he has. He is fighting for his life, not to out on a show, brag or be praised.
Love how we're introduced to Death with a whistle, we have no idea who he is or that he's a threat similar to Puss not knowing he's staring in the face of Death until he draws blood. Then the whistle turns darker, we know what it means and we're scared because we feel Puss' fear, we are anticipating another encounter, looking over our shoulders with anxiousness and when we see Death it's chilling. But then the ending where he's leaving with a whistle, it's lighter, less threatening almost pleasant like when he's first introduced. Now the whistle holds understanding just like Puss understands he isn't immortal and that life is precious, he also understands and accepts Death, and Death leaves as an equal and not his enemy/tormentor.
Also I just noticed but at 2:37 we see Puss's eyes reflected in Death's sickles because he fights not knowing who Death is but he's afraid because he's being bested in combat. But at 2:38 we see Death's eyes reflected in his sickles showing that Puss must overcome his fear but also understands that he is facing death itself. It's a subtle but nice touch in his development throughout the movie. Just like when Death stares at Puss's eyes but no longer sees arrogance and ignorance in them
I genuinely thought I was the only one to notice this! It's a really nice touch, and the way I interpret it is that the song continuing, just as life goes on in spite of death.
whoever worked on creating Death deserves a serious pay bonus. I would love a solo movie of him
I like how editor combined the line "You did't notice me" with the visual where people really do not notice wolf in the crowd. Brilliant
I know right? This was so well edited and the music choices are amazing. It makes it seem more eerie and scary.
Everybody: "this year can't get any worse."
"Slow whistling"
Oh no
I'm glad people like the character so much. I thought I was the only one who appreciated how well designed he is. Happy to see people appreciate a good design no matter the format.
2:25 the music fit so perfecty I thougth it was rly from the movie, keep it up buddy thats awesome !
2:15 that frame is something else. This character absolutely steals the show.
What I like here is that the lesson is not, you should accept death, or you should fear it, but what makes death important and scary is the same thing, the live you live and fighting for it in the face of death is what is really important.
Death will at one point win but fighting it until you lose is important, because the live you live is always worth it.
The coins for eyes is such an amazing detail. The whole concept of Death in this movie is just incredible
Love the little nods to how Death is represented... the grim wolf, coins over the eyes, sickles as weapons... even the whistling is on point. Literal walking death.
1:50 "You're not living up to the legend" ouch!!
Best edit I have seen yet. The voice lines and the music is really it's own kind and transports the story so flawlessly! Great job mate!
I really appreciate you using every last bit of Death from the footage.
It's tough to make a compilation with so few scenes of a character but you made every shot count in tight delivery that sets it apart from any other edit I've seen.
Really hoping to see more of Death in the future with more scenes and shots for editors like you to work with.
Great work!
"I was there to witness all of them",and he was actually there during all of puss in boots death,such a well written and creepily cool character .
“Death comes any moment when you least expect it”
I love the ending we got. While Puss have the upper hand in the last fight.
He knows he can't won, not against the being in front of him.
Against a literal concept that has taken even the mightiest of warriors.
A being who existed since the beginning of time.
He cannot win against that and he acknowledges that. He even acknowledge that they WILL meet again.
Because no one could escape death.
0:54 Just realized the cracks is in the shape of a wolf's top skull.
I think that’s the point
This video amplifies a lot the best sides of "Puss in boots: The Last Wish"
And a song is a 1000% match
Directing is brilliant, thank you for this!
while Disney is busy making everyone gay, Dreamworks putting out badass movies.....No political agenda, no alphabets, just 100% pure badass Orange cat kicking some ass.
If you guys didn’t know Death is supposed to symbolise a hellhound
Hell hounds are the devils pet
And basically when someone is about to die he unleashes his hellhounds to go and kill them.
0:14 I really like the Nosferatu reference, the posing in the doorframe recreating one of the most iconic shots in horror movies.
The fact they gave death similar weaponry as Anubis was a nice touch.
DreamWorks never disappoints their antagonists backstory or character
I remember how nuts it was when we first saw blood coming down from Puss's head, the serious tone almost never seen before... It felt like even you as the viewer was thrown into a trap you didn't expect and you had to fight for your life
I really hope this means we're going to continue to get more well made animated movies, I'm sick of disneys 3d animation, I want something with style and character. Spider-verse really made a mark on the industry and I hope it lasts
Best edit I’ve seen of this movie! Great job!
Win or lose, you can't escape death
This video, as someone who didn't care about puss in boots, actually makes me want to watch the movie. Damn.
Same. Was scrolling through shorts and saw a death edit and now sold on watching the film.
Dew it! It's really worth it. "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" is a perfect mix of wholesomeness and darkness. It's both hilarious and heart touching. Haven't seen that well made cartoon in years. Everything is perfectly balanced.
saw it today with my little one having not seen any trailers, just something to do of a saturday - but holy smoke, both the story and visuals were off the chain. a must see in the cinema.
This movie in incredible. Please don't sleep on it.
It's very good. Never saw any of the others, but this one was 👌
Death is definitely one of the coolest Dreamwork villains.
I like that his weapon is still a tool for harvest similar to the large sickle
This is a perfect edit. You need much more views.❤
One of the scariest villains I've ever seen being voiced by a talented Brazilian actor, that's a really cool fact.
I think we can all agree, that death isn’t the bad guy, he was just mad that Puss never appreciated his lives, because in the DreamWorks universe, Cats have 9 lives, where others only have 1. Death isn’t the villain, he’s an example that we should try to live our life with good choices, and to live it to the fullest.
Bro just dropped the best Edit of all the Edits there are! Just fire Bro
“Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.”
Nicely put together
Mephisto’s Lullaby is one of my favorite songs, and this perfectly fits with one of my favorite movies
This whole movie was Puss's redemption. From the narrative's perspective, Death serves as a catalyst for Puss's change of heart. In the end, he truly became a fearless hero and a legend, battling with Death himself.
I never thought a whistle could scare me so much just to hear it.
Best edit of death ! The build up is amazing
“Death can have me… when it earns me.”
This guy I bet got a very big pay check for this performance
Death is such an interesting antagonist. At first, he seems to be like what most people think of him: absolutely terrifying, unpredictable, cruel, and sadistic. But in the end, Death is just a natural force doing his job. And all he wants is people appreciating the life they have and show him some respect.
I just realized that the coins on the eyes scene for Death, is a clue that he is the Grim Reaper. The Greek used to put coins on the eyes of the dead so that the spirits could pay the toll for crossing the River Styx. It's called Charon's Obol.
Your editing is God tier I hope you get hired as a professional someday! We'll done.
Wow, just a brilliant beautiful job. This is one of the best edits I've seen. There is no pretentious music, to the rhythm of which cuts occur (and often this music does not even fit).
So far the scariest kids animated movie villain ever
Moral of the story: death only comes easy to those who embrace it and respect it. Or if they win an anime fight against it.
Here is it. The single one best edit of Death. Goosebumps.
Yoooo this edit is absolute fire! Great job!
*"I am Death.*
*Straight.*
*Up."*
Gives me chills hearing that!
When I say it ??
Loved how everybody thought, the charcter was the big bad wolf as a bounty hunter and then ends up being death. I actually got the whistle as a notification and sometimes I forget to turn it off at night lol
The reason he never tries to run after puss is because sooner or later death comes for all of us
I think after this experience Puss finally learned to show Death some respect and Not laugh In the face of him I only could imagine how pissed death was after his past 8 Death’s so when he was on his final life he decided to finally reveal himself in his actual form to really scare him to keep his last life as well as show respect for the Dead and Supernatural realm
The character design is beautiful, but I love the way Death's leitmotif is used. It gets used a few times to strike fear in the audience, but the scene where he reveals who he is doesn't use it. When I was watching that scene, I was listening for the leitmotif, and didn't expect him to show up so suddenly.
Is spine-chilling like this is no joke feel so bad for puss I mean literally has to face the eyes of death standing across from him I imagine that puss would be traumatized absolutely terrify
If you're wondering why death is often whistling as he walks
In Spanish folklore,death is often depicted as a whistling man,if the whistling sounds closer you're in the clear,but if it sounds further away,it's said that's a sign that you would soon die...
ok but can we talk about how AMAZING this edit is???
this edit is so under rated
The best edit of death from this film of all I've ever seen on YT
all im gonna say is that the wolf's weapon (or should i say weaponS?) of choice is very interesting
I mean sickles are just mini scythes so it makes sense
That, and it fits with him being a wolf, the sickles acting like his fangs and claws.
such a good edit well done
1:23 smooth weapon change 😮
Death’s voice makes me so uncomfortable in a good way.
Death Wolf: [revealing himself from the shadows] "FEAR!!! Sorry to crash the party with your past lives, or your past deaths, as I like to call them. I was there to witness all of them. Each. Frivolous. End. But you... didn't even notice me, because "Puss in Boots laughs in the face of Death", right? But you're not laughing now."
Puss in Boots: [shocked/horrified upon realizing the mysterious Wolf's identity] "You are no bounty hunter. You are..."
Death Wolf: [revealing his true name] "Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. I'M DEATH. STRAIGHT. UP. And I have come for you, Puss in Boots."
Puss in Boots: "B-But... I'm still alive..."
Death Wolf: [chuckles sinisterly while showing his complete distaste for Cats, as well as the real reason as to why he want's to kill Puss in Boots] "You know, I'm not a cat person. I find the very idea of nine lives ABSURD!" (points a sickle at Puss, glaring at him) "And you didn't value any of them. Sooo, why don’t I do us both a favor, and take this last one, now?"
Puss' 2nd Life: "That's cheating!"
Death Wolf: [throws a sickle behind him into that Puss' crystal] "Shh, don't tell." [the crystal shatters]
Puss's 1st Life: [shouting before being shattered] "Run, Puss in Boots! Make the wish!"
Death Wolf: [before chasing Puss in Boots] "Go ahead, run for it. Makes it more fun for me." [while chasing/attempting to catch/kill Puss in Boots] "Run................................... Run ................................. RUN!!!"
Death: No one has escaped me yet.
Turritopsis dohrnii: I am a joke to you?
Alright, death for me is in the same ball park as Gaunter Od Dimm, creepy yet cool theme, inevitable and calm, collected and calculating. Yet can flex wherever need to be, Death dodging Puss strikes saying, Slow, Sappy and Sad while Gaunter just stops time. Come to think of it Death doesn't even have the courtesy of stopping time. It's just the pure fact that he is inevitable is what puts him up there as a villain.
I have watched numerous edits on this movie, and I must say the buildup, audio, and editing from you is phenomenal. I keep revisiting it for the feeling of tension and relief for when they come to an accord at the end.
He's Brazilian so I have to say this..
"I see... You deny your lives its purpose!!"
Love the edit, I really thought it was a trailer at first 😭
Gotta say, i've seen so many Death edits.. but this takes the 👑
He came for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal, who cheated death and laughed in his face and left when that legend no longer existed.
Pretty sad how people hated on this movie for having blood and ect and being pg, while the same people allow for books about rape to be in schools. Outrageous
Very true actually
This is very brilliant. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Easily my top tier, favorite, villain of any and all villains I've ever bore(?) witness to:) Gonna go see this movie again because it was good, but also because of Death!!!!
This is the best visual example of what it feels like to live with depression. This dark pure evil feeling that is always lurking in the background while you are out there trying to live your live in the best and happiest way possible. This feeling is always on the hunt and sooner or later, everyday or once every while just catches up with you. No matter how fast you run or how mentally at peace or prepared you are…but we always pick it up…keep picking it up, stay strong
Death in this movie is AMAZING
And I don’t mean that metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way
Amazing straight up
This edit goes too hard, well done :D
He is Death...
But Shrek is Love and Shrek is Life
And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. SHREK IS LOVE. SHREK IS LIFE
Yoooo! I never noticed Death in the crowd at 1:36 Thats sick
