Death was after Puss because he squandered 8 of his lives instead of trying to keep them, so the former targeted Puss out of revenge, and he only stops when Puss learns to value the life he has left
You are right about the gold coins on the eyes having to do with Greek Mythology. People would bury other with gold coins on their eyes so they can buy the boat into the afterlife.
It was the ferryman's fee. A couple gold coins for a traverse of the river Styx the cursed river of the underworld on your way to hades. If you don't pay the fee you're cursed to wander the shores for an eternity before being able to cross over.
@@zebaguettefromfrance1287 Even in death you still get fucked by fees! And what's the ferryman supposed to spend the money on? It's not like he gets a day off!
Death is my favorite character in this film. And I don't mean that theoretically, metaphorically, rhetorically or figuratively or any fancy way like that. He's my favorite *Straight Up*
The way he’s animated is wonderful as well! Skipping frames in animation to make him snappy and ever so slightly unnatural, his eyes flashing white any time lightning strikes, the stiff smile he gives in certain shots when he dashes forward near the end of the film, very good! And he’s one of the only recent villain characters who is outwardly the antagonist of the story and not some surprise at the very end. He’s also not just a force of nature or raw danger, he has a personality and oozes a certain charisma not seen since the older Disney era like Scar or Dr. Fecilier. His (ironic) metaphor of death is also something very interesting to play with. He’s not a sympathetic character but you understand his motives, he’s meant to teach Puss an important lesson but if he doesn’t he just dies. It’s like an amped up version of old fairytale films and stories which is just perfect in this context.
Lol yeah wolf is my favourite but he was so funny and I loved that they didn’t stick with the same trope spoiler Of him being evil but for a reason no he’s just pure evil
Also, this villain actually gave a proper reason to destroying mcguffin (the wishing star) at the end. Because if he, a terrible bad guy, came through all trials of the Dark Forest fighting the heroes, and almost had his terrible wish, it means, that any other powerful maniac can do the same, and, if nobody is around to stop him, he will ruin the world with the help of the wish.
Honestly. I don't like John Mulaney as much as I used to, for reasons, but I do have to give credit where it's due. The guy fucking killed it. Can't imagine Jack Horner voiced by anyone else.
Jack Horner looks so much like Matt Lucas from Little Britain and so the german translation was made by his german LB voice Oliver Kalkofe...and this is sooo perfect.
The Wolf is hidden in so many different parts of the film that it's just incredible. When the crowd does the wave during the fight, you see him watching Puss in the crowd. During the montage of Puss' deaths, the four corners are actually the hooded wolf with the sickles and right before the bell falls on him, you can barely make out what resemble red eyes watching him in the far background
Wait, when you say red eyes right before the bell falls on him, do you mean like peaking from just around behind the giant's head? Like, could you give me a timestamp where to find it in the extended preview which I'll link here? th-cam.com/video/bEoNNYyVNxc/w-d-xo.html
In the first fight, in the bar, Death's sickles already have 8 marks on the blades. As long as Puss was living in the cat retirement home, Death never came for him, and only showed up during the first fight after Puss picked up an actual blade again, the Gatito Blade. The magical map shows the location of everyone who's in the forest at all times, except for Death, because Death is everywhere, always. During the final confrontation at the star, the magical barrier sucks up and evaporates anyone who's caught in it, while Death just walks through it like it's not there.
I think it's hilarious that Jack Horner has a gripe with being less popular than Pinochio in this movie because it came out 2022, the year we got three Pinocchio adaptations. Horner even gets his own Ethical Bug in the movie, and I think using his collection of magical items as references to Disney properties is 10 times more clever than Gepetto's collection of Disney product placement clocks in Disney's remake of Pinocchio.
And Jack Horner just seems like a mocked personification of Disney, trying to own all magic (all fairytales) in existence and misusing it, causing harm everywhere for its own greed
33:17 fun fact this is confirmed by the writers to be a lie. Kitty is just saying that so it would make piss feel better. If she actually hadn’t had shown up, she wouldn’t have been as mad as she was at him at the start
19:00 You're so close. It's Greek, the coins on your eyes were meant to pay Charon, the ferryman, to row you across the river Styx to the Underworld when you died.
I didn't expect a sequel to be actually better than the first film. The villains are perfectly written. One you can relate to, One who's just someone you hate for being pure evil, And one who's just too awesome to hate. There's enough screentime for everyone to shine and understand their stories. Especially the moral lesson about mortality for you to value your one life. Also Death is so awesome he's not really a villain. More like a force of nature trying to make things right and I love that. He's also so terrifying it questions me that this is a kids movie. One of the best animated movies in my list ❤️
Goldilocks parents didn't get eaten by the bears. She took the book from the library and broke into the bears house, ate their food then went to sleep in their beds. That's why baby bear calls her a fugitive orphan lmao
Dreamworks was like, "Hey lets make a sequel to an 11 year old spinoff from a sequel. Oh, and lets make it the best animated film of the last 5 years while we're at it." They didn't even advertise it very well. It's box office earnings increased the second weekend which almost never happens almost entirely because of word of mouth advertising. I've watched this several times. As for the Avatar sequel, once was more than enough.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but Perrito's journey in the map (Pocket Full o' Posies, River of Relaxation, and Path of Quick and Easy Solutions) are a bait and have dark meanings. Pocket Full of Posies, in the "Ring Around the Rosie" is a refererence to the Black Plague or Bubonic Plague - posies were considered a protective flower and commonly carried during those times. River of Relaxation is a reference to the River of the Dead, or it could be a reference to the attempted drowning of Perrito (permanent relaxation?). Finally, the Path of Quick and Easy Solutions is a not so subtle allusion to the "quick and easy solution": suicide.
I think this is reaching for dark implications. The point of the journey to the star isn't to traumatize you but rather to try and convince you that you don't need the wish. As such, it forces you to confront your issues as part of the process so that you'll no longer want the wish and turn back. Kitty wants someone she can depend on, so her path centers around her loneliness. Puss is terrified of death, so his is built around forcing him to confront his mortality rather than run from it. Goldie wants to feel like she's a part of a family, so it hammers home how she already has one and that she doesn't need to feel separate from them. We never see Jack's, but it's a solid chance that it would attempt to convince him that throwing more power into the gaping hole at the center of his being wouldn't make him happy, and structure increasingly sadistic death traps around forcing him to think of the value of what he has and other people where he would be actively punished for throwing things away to advance himself. We already saw Perrito's Posies and River obstacles. Neither one was actually bad at all to experience so long as you act like Perrito did, which is to say you appreciate a new experience and let life wash over you rather than trying to force the issue. The river of relaxation is just a river where you get to enjoy yourself for a bit as you're carried along for the ride, and solving the Posies is as easy as smelling them. Why does he have such an easy road? Because he's content with what he has. The Star literally doesn't offer him anything and he doesn't even have a wish in mind. If they'd gotten to the "Quick and Easy solutions" it would probably really have been exactly as easy as you made it. He'd have walked right through it because he isn't afraid, whereas suspicious people would find trouble because they're looking for it.
@@TheAngryXenite I mean, I get your point but this is far from reaching. Like, ''Pocket full of posies'' refers to the plague, but since Perrito is Perrito, he sees it as a patch of actual flowers. Idk how to explain it, but it fits his character, as in the implication is dark but he sees the positives etc.
@@iratetrolls exactly, a lot of what perrito went through are things that for some ( similar situations) would lead to choosing for a quick and easy solution, river of relaxation being the river styx, and pocket full of posies is just a phrasing for dead people who ( in that time) would decay and make the town smell really bad, so they put roses/posies in their pockets to counter the stench. so all three of his locations just mean death, but seeing as how perrito, even though definitely traumatised, has the strongest personality and outlook on life, he manages to face it without difficulty. he understands life and how to appreciate even though appreciation isn't always ( directly) returned. Death is the whole theme of the movie and how to face it and learn to appreciate what's in front of you rather than to covet that what you don't have. so exactly, its far from a reach. they knew exactly what they did with this movie and they did it great
puss's fighting style in the last battle is more defensive and protective than his usual attack and evade, he values his life an fights more cautious to protect it
I went in to this movie expecting to get annoyed by the dog at least from what I saw in the trailers. But his sincerity and tragic backstory that he refuses to acknowledge as traumatic really sold him for me. This movie was a masterpiece at character writing in simple and complex ways.
One of my favorite scenes is when Goldie and Baby bear are roasting each other and he goes off on the cursing. Every character but Papa Bear look horrified
The coins are from multiple traditions and customs. But the mythology specifically that you were thinking of was Greek mythos where the coins were to pay the ferryman Charon to cross the River Styx into Hades, except I believe those coins were in the person's mouth so it could cross into the afterlife with them. Speaking of Greek mythos, the posies even followed hydra rules, cut one two grow back lol.
Hands down blew up each theater nation wide, only three complaints from critics with bleeping, blood, and death. But it’s a dreamwork so those Karen’s could go suck some eggs 😭😭
I like that this movie has a great variety in villains, we have the main villain who is totally evil, with no good qualities like Jack Horner and then is Goldilocks, who is a redeemable villain and then is Death, who is just an antagonist to Puss and helps him develop.
Funfacts: the Wolf was in the crowd during the fight against the Giant. The book Goldi was reading had the phrase “you already have it” hidden in the first letter in each line next to the doodled image.
The origin of goldi is she ran away from home to play and she got lost in the forest. Then she found a house with three beds, and she slept on one of them. Then when she wakes up she sees the bears. The original story is she ran away from the bears but it seems like the bears adopted her in the movie.
New favorite movie. In the end Puss earned Death’s respect by learning to cherish life so when Puss’ time is up next time they’ll meet again as friends
@@seriyooow310There is a comic that was turned into a video of Puss dying of old age, with Death sitting on the bed, asking if his life was a good one.
I really thought the dog was going to be one of those annoying cute comic relief characters with no depth that you see in films so often, but I was completely surprised when I did see this film. He's completely likeable, sympathetic, and actually funny. He's a character, not just there for a joke. I also thought in the first few minutes of the film that it was just going to be really kiddy and not have any depth at all too, and then the wolf showed up. I was completely invested after that. This movie reminded me of some of my favorite animated films from when I grew up. Films that weren't afraid to tackle difficult subjects and respected your intelligence. Movies like Iron Giant or Treasure Planet for example. This movie was funny without sacrificing character or emotional beats. It let everything play out how it should and kept it's tone consistent. The wolf by far was my favorite part of the film, and Jack Horner was a perfect antagonist for the rest of the film. By having Jack Horner just be a completely unlikeable and irredeemable, while also being what I would consider to be the main source of comedy, they could clearly divide the emotional tones of the film without ever sacrificing the characterization of any of the other characters. It was stellar writing, stellar performances, stellar animation, everything about this film worked. It was a blast to watch in theaters, and now one of my favorite dreamworks films of all time. The Wolf will always stick in my head when I think of animated antagonists now as one of the absolute best.
The fact that the star was above the ground really shows how powerful he is and the fact he was just after puss really is creepy also I headcannon the wishing star can do a lot but if death decided to wish it would just say no because it can't do anything because he's infinity more powerful then it
30:16, you can see the exact second when their faces got frozen by listening the whistle from the Wolf, man if that's not a S Tier villain then nothing is
I think since Kitty Softpaws overheard Puss talking about the church and wanting to be there with the dog, she lied and said that she wasn't there to show some sympathy towards Puss. You can tell her attitude changed a lot after that as well.
I don’t think it was mentioned, but the thing about coins on the eyes is a Greek tradition. The idea was the deceased would use the coins to pay the ferryman to take them across the River Styx.
Random little detail but when Puss died from the dogs at the poker game, not only was that a reference to that one painting of the dogs playing poker, but Puss also had played 5 aces with a 6th hidden under his hat. I just found that detail hilarious upon rewatch.
It's interesting that some reactors suggest that Puss uses the Wish to "Do something about the Wolf" Death walked through the Wishing Star's barrier like it wasn't there. I don't think it can grant a wish that would supersede him when he casually no-efforts it trying to keep everything out (and in)
You were right about the coins on the eyes. It was a Greek tradition iirc to pay off Charon the ferryman, who provided safe passage across the river styx to the underworld
The gold coins on the eyes is Greek, when you die a loved one will put a copper, silver or gold coin on your eyes to pay the boat man to cross the river sticks and depending on what coin you put on them the level of a place they will go
I love that this movie gives us three different kinds of antagonist to enjoy. The sympathetic antagonist(s) in Goldi/The Three Bears, the irredeemable pure evil in Jack Horner, and the force of nature in Death.
18:43 It's probably a reference to Charon from Greek Mythology. He carries the souls of those who have been given funeral rites across the rivers Acheron and Styx, which separate the worlds of the living and the dead. In payment, he received the coin that was placed in the mouth of the corpse.
Purrito has a really dark map hidden there: - Quick and easy solution = suicide - River of Relaxxation - he would have died when he had relaxed when he was thrown into a river - Pocket full of posies - Part of a very dark nursery rhyme
The animation style of the cutscenes are inspired by Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. They implemented the animation system after that film's enormous success. Sony produced both films (Puss in Boots and Spiderman ITTSV).
after seeing this great movie i just started to imagine how great could be the next kung fu panda movie, i hope we get a villain very iconic like death or lord shen
I think that Kitty hit the nail on the head "It's like it doesn't _want_ anyone to make a wish." It doesn't. The Wishing Star is what gave the Dark Forest life, and is keeping the Dark Forest alive. If somebody makes a wish, the Wishing Star will fade, and the Dark Forest dies. So anyone who wants to make a wish? Is a threat to it and it reacts accordingly. It has to make a path to the Star, but it makes that path as awful and lethal as possible. The reason Perrito's path was so easy, was _because he _*_didn't_*_ want to make a wish._ The Dark Forest didn't see him as a threat, and was content with just giving him a fun little magical adventure.
Why does everyone think Kittys line of not showing up was literal? I think it’s kind of obvious that it was a thing she said to help Puss feel better, and a metaphor for not showing up mentally. She overheard Puss talking about it.
19:00 oh my god people have gotten so dumb .... its the river stix you give 2 coins to the boat guy to take you safely over to the other side when you die ... thats why people used to be burried with coins over their eyes ...sheesh ..
Death is such an awesome villain. I’m not even being thirsty or anything, he’s so scary and the fact he wasn’t even defeated, and just left on his own makes him so much cooler. Puss hadn’t even died the last time, yet Death wanted END IT PREMATURELY just due to how arrogant he was… that’s why he’s my one of my favorite villains ever
What made this movie fantastic to me was Death, the wolf is fantastic, the metaphor, and his animation is just chef's kiss. He was brilliantly executed.
At 18:45 it’s Greek mythology, the dead were given two coins on the eyes to pay the boatman (Chiron) who’d then take you to the underworld, if you didn’t pay you’d have to find the poor people’s route to the underworld
Bob Persichetti, one of the directors of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse was directing this movie, until he was replace, sadly. But that kinda explains the art style and animation that the movie uses.
There are so many death references when it comes to the wolf. Coins on the eyes is greek, the fact he is a wolf is mayan, his weapons are Egyptian, hes wearing a dark hooded cloak which is seen across many mythologies.
I love how his hat looked like the star! The purple blue colors, the star on the front. I wonder if it was intentional 🤯🤯🤔🤔 I love this movie, and its cool to see people watch and like the film as well 😊😊❤❤ Edit: PERRITO MEANS PUPPY OMG 🥹
At 19:00 I think what you were thinking of is the belief that ancient Greeks had where they would put coins on a dead persons eyes and that was supposed to pay Charons fare to cross into the underworld
If somebody else pisses him off like Puss did, I don't think he appears for literally everyone before he takes their life, Puss was a special case, reminds me of the second episode of the original The Twilight Zone "One for the Angels".
@@Prototype-357 True. He did say that Puss didn't notice him before this last life. I'd imagine you'd be bound to notice the same guy over and over being over just before each death of yours, especially since Death quite... stands out. So logically, he probably just didn't appear visible to him at all in the first place.
Introduction: The Three Bears live in a house in the forest. They have three dishes of porridge, three seats, and three beds. The Bears' Outing: One morning, after Mother Bear makes porridge for breakfast, they find it too warm to even consider eating. The family chooses to take a stroll in the forest while the porridge chills off. Goldilocks Arrives: Goldilocks happens upon the house while the bears are away. She is interested and chooses to go in. Testing the Porridge: Inside the house, Goldilocks tracks down the three dishes of porridge. She tastes from every bowl, finding Father Bear's excessively hot, Mother Bear's excessively cold, but Child Bear's perfect. She eats Child Bear's entire porridge. Sitting in the Chairs: Goldilocks then tracks down the seats. She attempts everyone, finding Father Bear's excessively hard, Mother Bear's excessively delicate, yet Child Bear's perfect. Be that as it may, she breaks Child Bear's seat when she sits in it. Rest Time: At last, Goldilocks finds the rooms and evaluates the beds. Yet again Father Bear's is excessively hard, Mother Bear's is excessively delicate, yet Child Bear's is perfect. She nods off in Child Bear's bed. The Bears Return: The Three Bears return from their walk and promptly notice the progressions in their home. Discovery: They find the eaten porridge, the wrecked seat, and lastly Goldilocks snoozing Child Bear's bed. Goldilocks Wakes Up: Frightened to think of herself as found, Goldilocks awakens, leaps out of the bed, and takes off through an open window. Conclusion: The bears are perplexed yet return to their life, maybe a little savvier about security. Goldilocks probably learns an example regarding others' property.

Idk how to explain it, but it fits his character, as in the implication is dark but he sees the positives etc.
@@iratetrolls exactly, a lot of what perrito went through are things that for some ( similar situations) would lead to choosing for a quick and easy solution, river of relaxation being the river styx, and pocket full of posies is just a phrasing for dead people who ( in that time) would decay and make the town smell really bad, so they put roses/posies in their pockets to counter the stench. so all three of his locations just mean death, but seeing as how perrito, even though definitely traumatised, has the strongest personality and outlook on life, he manages to face it without difficulty. he understands life and how to appreciate even though appreciation isn't always ( directly) returned. Death is the whole theme of the movie and how to face it and learn to appreciate what's in front of you rather than to covet that what you don't have.
so exactly, its far from a reach. they knew exactly what they did with this movie and they did it great
@@gregpl9363 thank you for putting it in much better words than I ever could
puss's fighting style in the last battle is more defensive and protective than his usual attack and evade, he values his life an fights more cautious to protect it
I went in to this movie expecting to get annoyed by the dog at least from what I saw in the trailers. But his sincerity and tragic backstory that he refuses to acknowledge as traumatic really sold him for me. This movie was a masterpiece at character writing in simple and complex ways.
_Dude... I thought the same. Became my favorite character (after Death)._
One of my favorite scenes is when Goldie and Baby bear are roasting each other and he goes off on the cursing. Every character but Papa Bear look horrified
The wolf still gives me chills when I hear his whistling 🥶 (plus he never said himself that he was a bounty hunter, that was Puss' assumption)
The coins are from multiple traditions and customs. But the mythology specifically that you were thinking of was Greek mythos where the coins were to pay the ferryman Charon to cross the River Styx into Hades, except I believe those coins were in the person's mouth so it could cross into the afterlife with them. Speaking of Greek mythos, the posies even followed hydra rules, cut one two grow back lol.
Geez, even in death you still get fucked by fees!
One coin on each eye.
It had no business being THIS GOOD.
Hands down blew up each theater nation wide, only three complaints from critics with bleeping, blood, and death. But it’s a dreamwork so those Karen’s could go suck some eggs 😭😭
This movie just proves that we need villains in animated movies, both in Dreamworks and Disney (especially the latter).
I like that this movie has a great variety in villains, we have the main villain who is totally evil, with no good qualities like Jack Horner and then is Goldilocks, who is a redeemable villain and then is Death, who is just an antagonist to Puss and helps him develop.
This movie really asked, "what type of villain should we have?" and answered ¿por que no los tres?
Funfacts:
the Wolf was in the crowd during the fight against the Giant.
The book Goldi was reading had the phrase “you already have it” hidden in the first letter in each line next to the doodled image.
The origin of goldi is she ran away from home to play and she got lost in the forest. Then she found a house with three beds, and she slept on one of them. Then when she wakes up she sees the bears. The original story is she ran away from the bears but it seems like the bears adopted her in the movie.
I loved this movie. Watched it with my family in theaters and didn’t expect it to be this good. Loved the message and story, pleasant surprise
Bro same!
“It’s literally Zoro as a cat” I mean, it IS Zoro himself as the voice! Antonio is a legend!
New favorite movie. In the end Puss earned Death’s respect by learning to cherish life so when Puss’ time is up next time they’ll meet again as friends
Embracing death, I like that
Ok, now I badly want that comic strip about Death and Dog "I was told you were the best.", but now as with Wolf Death and Puss
@@seriyooow310There is a comic that was turned into a video of Puss dying of old age, with Death sitting on the bed, asking if his life was a good one.
I really thought the dog was going to be one of those annoying cute comic relief characters with no depth that you see in films so often, but I was completely surprised when I did see this film. He's completely likeable, sympathetic, and actually funny. He's a character, not just there for a joke. I also thought in the first few minutes of the film that it was just going to be really kiddy and not have any depth at all too, and then the wolf showed up. I was completely invested after that. This movie reminded me of some of my favorite animated films from when I grew up. Films that weren't afraid to tackle difficult subjects and respected your intelligence. Movies like Iron Giant or Treasure Planet for example. This movie was funny without sacrificing character or emotional beats. It let everything play out how it should and kept it's tone consistent. The wolf by far was my favorite part of the film, and Jack Horner was a perfect antagonist for the rest of the film. By having Jack Horner just be a completely unlikeable and irredeemable, while also being what I would consider to be the main source of comedy, they could clearly divide the emotional tones of the film without ever sacrificing the characterization of any of the other characters. It was stellar writing, stellar performances, stellar animation, everything about this film worked. It was a blast to watch in theaters, and now one of my favorite dreamworks films of all time. The Wolf will always stick in my head when I think of animated antagonists now as one of the absolute best.
The Wolf adds imposing dread and terror
Making this classic movie unforgettable
The fact that the star was above the ground really shows how powerful he is and the fact he was just after puss really is creepy also I headcannon the wishing star can do a lot but if death decided to wish it would just say no because it can't do anything because he's infinity more powerful then it
I love how closely your expressions match up to Puss and Kitty when Perrito is telling his "sock" story.
This movie was so good! The plot, the villans, the references, and the good message of how meaningful life is.
I absolutely love this movie. Animation is top notch, and the Wolf character is probably the best animated villain for me 😁
I just love how you guys almost perfectly mimic Puss and Kitty's reaction at 26:02 🤔🙀
30:16, you can see the exact second when their faces got frozen by listening the whistle from the Wolf, man if that's not a S Tier villain then nothing is
I think since Kitty Softpaws overheard Puss talking about the church and wanting to be there with the dog, she lied and said that she wasn't there to show some sympathy towards Puss. You can tell her attitude changed a lot after that as well.
Death was in the background of the crowd when puss was taking down that giant
I pretty sure Kitty said she didn’t show up to make Puss feel better. How would she have known Puss wasn’t there if she also wasn’t there.
I don’t think it was mentioned, but the thing about coins on the eyes is a Greek tradition. The idea was the deceased would use the coins to pay the ferryman to take them across the River Styx.
Random little detail but when Puss died from the dogs at the poker game, not only was that a reference to that one painting of the dogs playing poker, but Puss also had played 5 aces with a 6th hidden under his hat. I just found that detail hilarious upon rewatch.
7:40 “Pick it up.” 😈
PICK IT UP…
Such a wonderful reaction and film. Also, Perrito is my spirit animal.
6:08 "It's too bad he lost all his lives on stupid shit."
Literally the motivation of the antagonist XD
Oh man, i'm so glad reactors are watching this movie. This is definitely one of Dreamworks best movies after The Bad Guys!
The gold coins on the eyes is from the Greek Mythology.
Goldie was already an orphan. She just happened to bust out of an orphanage apparently and just broke into the bear's house
It's interesting that some reactors suggest that Puss uses the Wish to "Do something about the Wolf"
Death walked through the Wishing Star's barrier like it wasn't there. I don't think it can grant a wish that would supersede him when he casually no-efforts it trying to keep everything out (and in)
I don't think you can wish death to go away. It's a force of nature.
You were right about the coins on the eyes. It was a Greek tradition iirc to pay off Charon the ferryman, who provided safe passage across the river styx to the underworld
I'll never get tired of this movie. Not only I watched it over 15 times, but it also got me into reaction videos like this one.
Just a fun fact: Excalibur was actually not the sword in the stone, it was forged after that sword which was called ‘Caliburn’ broke in battle
Sorry but I died laughing when you guys had the same reaction as Puss and Kitty to Perrito's story XD
The gold coins on the eyes is Greek, when you die a loved one will put a copper, silver or gold coin on your eyes to pay the boat man to cross the river sticks and depending on what coin you put on them the level of a place they will go
I love that this movie gives us three different kinds of antagonist to enjoy. The sympathetic antagonist(s) in Goldi/The Three Bears, the irredeemable pure evil in Jack Horner, and the force of nature in Death.
Now I understand how this movie beats avatar 2 🤣
18:43 It's probably a reference to Charon from Greek Mythology. He carries the souls of those who have been given funeral rites across the rivers Acheron and Styx, which separate the worlds of the living and the dead. In payment, he received the coin that was placed in the mouth of the corpse.
Purrito has a really dark map hidden there:
- Quick and easy solution = suicide
- River of Relaxxation - he would have died when he had relaxed when he was thrown into a river
- Pocket full of posies - Part of a very dark nursery rhyme
The animation style of the cutscenes are inspired by Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. They implemented the animation system after that film's enormous success. Sony produced both films (Puss in Boots and Spiderman ITTSV).
“What is that thing”
Immediately speaks over what it is.
after seeing this great movie i just started to imagine how great could be the next kung fu panda movie, i hope we get a villain very iconic like death or lord shen
(At 40:10) he said he "witnessed" them, not "caused" them.
I think that Kitty hit the nail on the head
"It's like it doesn't _want_ anyone to make a wish."
It doesn't. The Wishing Star is what gave the Dark Forest life, and is keeping the Dark Forest alive. If somebody makes a wish, the Wishing Star will fade, and the Dark Forest dies.
So anyone who wants to make a wish? Is a threat to it and it reacts accordingly. It has to make a path to the Star, but it makes that path as awful and lethal as possible.
The reason Perrito's path was so easy, was _because he _*_didn't_*_ want to make a wish._ The Dark Forest didn't see him as a threat, and was content with just giving him a fun little magical adventure.
Why does everyone think Kittys line of not showing up was literal? I think it’s kind of obvious that it was a thing she said to help Puss feel better, and a metaphor for not showing up mentally. She overheard Puss talking about it.
I love how it ended with a sort of be happy with what you have thing. No wish needed ❤️
30:51 he does not show on the map, which is another clue to what he really is :)
Great reaction if you see this if you go back to every time puss has died you can see death in the background somewhere
The ancient Greeks put coins on the eyes of the dead to pay the Ferryman.
40:06 “WAS IT YOU?!”
*Yesn’t*
19:00 oh my god people have gotten so dumb .... its the river stix you give 2 coins to the boat guy to take you safely over to the other side when you die ... thats why people used to be burried with coins over their eyes ...sheesh ..
40:10 go back to the fight with the giant. While everyone is doing the wave, you’ll see wolf/death in a dark alleyway
This movie is so much better than I thought it would be. ❤ your reactions!
Honestly the dream walker was a wonderful character
Death is such an awesome villain. I’m not even being thirsty or anything, he’s so scary and the fact he wasn’t even defeated, and just left on his own makes him so much cooler. Puss hadn’t even died the last time, yet Death wanted END IT PREMATURELY just due to how arrogant he was… that’s why he’s my one of my favorite villains ever
What made this movie fantastic to me was Death, the wolf is fantastic, the metaphor, and his animation is just chef's kiss. He was brilliantly executed.
The number of people who apparently didn't know "Little Jack Horner"... No wonder he went into a dark place!! 😳😳😳😳
To be continued in shreack 5 starts in 4 or 5 years
You were thinking of Charon the Ferryman, who would take you over the River Styx but only if you paid him with 2 coins.
I need an interaction between perrito and donkey
At 18:45 it’s Greek mythology, the dead were given two coins on the eyes to pay the boatman (Chiron) who’d then take you to the underworld, if you didn’t pay you’d have to find the poor people’s route to the underworld
Bob Persichetti, one of the directors of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse was directing this movie, until he was replace, sadly. But that kinda explains the art style and animation that the movie uses.
Softpaws 100% was lying about not showing up to the wedding
I like to think that Selma Hayek genuinely had no idea about the name Pickles and was actually genuinely confused.
There are so many death references when it comes to the wolf. Coins on the eyes is greek, the fact he is a wolf is mayan, his weapons are Egyptian, hes wearing a dark hooded cloak which is seen across many mythologies.
This movie truly deserves to be seen in theaters.
It is in the theaters
2:53 lol check out who voices Puss. It’s LITERALLY just zoro as a cat
Moraleja
-Valora la vida que tienes
-No temas a la muerte, respetala
Facts!
It was the Greeks who put a coin over each eye in order to pay for transportation for the afterlife
6:35 18:31 30:17 39:57 45:04 I love him
You're supposed to have one more box than you have cats. With this many, she definitely needs a bunch!
Fun fact, for those of you who don't know the voice actor for puss was also Zorro in the move the ledgend of Zorro Antonio Banderas
The wolf has such a simple design but man do they use it so well
18:58 You were talking about Greek Mythology, they put coins on the dead so they could cross into the underworld by paying the ferryman.
The villain was S-tier
I love how his hat looked like the star! The purple blue colors, the star on the front. I wonder if it was intentional 🤯🤯🤔🤔
I love this movie, and its cool to see people watch and like the film as well 😊😊❤❤
Edit: PERRITO MEANS PUPPY OMG 🥹
Doesn't look like you noticed it, but on "Goldi's" page, she had crayoned in her name and her hair
At 19:00 I think what you were thinking of is the belief that ancient Greeks had where they would put coins on a dead persons eyes and that was supposed to pay Charons fare to cross into the underworld
I think the wolf follows Egyptian mythology of Anubis
Okay so I only have one question how is Mama Bear alive she should be a skin rug in lord 🤬wads castle.
The real question is how did they escape lord 🤬ward?
I like how the horse is dancing in boots as well, talk about the horse trot.
Do you guys think death will appear in the future dreamworks movies since he is...death
Probably in different forms with different attitudes
If somebody else pisses him off like Puss did, I don't think he appears for literally everyone before he takes their life, Puss was a special case, reminds me of the second episode of the original The Twilight Zone "One for the Angels".
@@Prototype-357 True. He did say that Puss didn't notice him before this last life. I'd imagine you'd be bound to notice the same guy over and over being over just before each death of yours, especially since Death quite... stands out. So logically, he probably just didn't appear visible to him at all in the first place.
Introduction: The Three Bears live in a house in the forest. They have three dishes of porridge, three seats, and three beds.
The Bears' Outing: One morning, after Mother Bear makes porridge for breakfast, they find it too warm to even consider eating. The family chooses to take a stroll in the forest while the porridge chills off.
Goldilocks Arrives: Goldilocks happens upon the house while the bears are away. She is interested and chooses to go in.
Testing the Porridge: Inside the house, Goldilocks tracks down the three dishes of porridge. She tastes from every bowl, finding Father Bear's excessively hot, Mother Bear's excessively cold, but Child Bear's perfect. She eats Child Bear's entire porridge.
Sitting in the Chairs: Goldilocks then tracks down the seats. She attempts everyone, finding Father Bear's excessively hard, Mother Bear's excessively delicate, yet Child Bear's perfect. Be that as it may, she breaks Child Bear's seat when she sits in it.
Rest Time: At last, Goldilocks finds the rooms and evaluates the beds. Yet again Father Bear's is excessively hard, Mother Bear's is excessively delicate, yet Child Bear's is perfect. She nods off in Child Bear's bed.
The Bears Return: The Three Bears return from their walk and promptly notice the progressions in their home.
Discovery: They find the eaten porridge, the wrecked seat, and lastly Goldilocks snoozing Child Bear's bed.
Goldilocks Wakes Up: Frightened to think of herself as found, Goldilocks awakens, leaps out of the bed, and takes off through an open window.
Conclusion: The bears are perplexed yet return to their life, maybe a little savvier about security. Goldilocks probably learns an example regarding others' property.
yoooo was that first baker killed by the roses kiritos VA? damnnnnn
I like to imagine that Lobo Muerte actually threw one of his scythes to cut the rope holding the bell
