Driving home his mortality with actual blood completely caught me by surprise. Bold move that did such a great job at selling the stakes from that point onward.
It made me consider that I could see one of my favorite childhood characters that seemed immortal due to the fairy tale nature die. I was on the edge of my seat, especially as a cat lover lol.
Can we just all take a break and talk about how a 62 year old Spaniard delivered a performance with more energy and passion than three quarter of actual Hollywood ever could for a children’s animated movie. This guy is a fucking legend
I mean, we are talking about Antonio Banderas here. Man puts his heart and soul into any film he's in, lol. And Puss is definitely one of his best roles of all time.
i'm not surprised, the character was tailor made for him, it is basically the only way he have to play el zorro after all this years, a definitively must watch too
Fun fact: I saw it in spanish and it has a whole versión, not only every text Is changed to spanish, stuff like the things he draws in the ground or the tomb are changed to go with the spanish versión, example: the P in the tomb it's changed to G for gato which it's cat in spanish. It shows the care and love that went into this movie Edit: :0, thanks for the likes!!!

Many people said it is highly unlikely that Dreamworks could make a movie THAT good tackling very serious issues. I had to remind them: This is the same studio that made Kung Fu Panda 2 and Prince of Egypt.
I mean yes but thats not a valid argument. Both of these films are from different eras and thy re good for different reasons. DW wanted to impress with Prince of Egypt while the Kung Fu Panda directors wanted to go darker (along with del toro's approval)
@@mrdoggo3569 both can be true. Those movies are from a different era of dreamworks and had different teams working on them, but dreamworks as a whole has maintained consistency with themes in different movies before so it’s not hard to believe they can do it again
the panic attack scene made me cry. When I saw it and immediately recognized the signs of Puss experiencing a panic attack, the waterworks started straight away. It was the first time I did in a cinema. Making such a beloved childhood comfort character represent anxiety in such an INCREDIBLE (and somewhat innocent) WAY was the emotional release I needed.
It really was a emotional, moving, and beautiful scene. I haven't experienced panic attacks, but I know people who have. Watching that scene made me eyes water.
I basically cried too haha. I used to struggle HEAVILY with spontaneous panic attacks and the way they portrayed them in this scene really struck a chord with me. The rapid heartbeat, the lack of oxygen, the blurry vision, etc... And then the relief. I would've balled my eyes out if it were just me in the cinema lmao.
Once you realize who the wolf is, that line in the beginning of the movie just hits way harder. "Everyone thinks they will be the one to defeat me, but no one has escaped me yet."
@@roquesolorio8842 yep, even more so, hes death itself, and i don't mean that metaphorically or rhetorically or theoretically or poetically or any other fancy way, nope, just straight up death
@@tzeentchmundi44 good touch too that they didn't go with the overplayed skull representation, but instead cleverly associated him to the wolf, as many Pagan rooted religious beliefs associates wolf to death. On many fairy tails, wolf is actually a metaphor of Danger, malice, and Death too.
@@bryanmerel there was one moment they did the skull representation for him, but it was INCREDIBLY subtle, it was during the 3rd time he appeared, when he whistled during the brawl between everyone, then puss ran off and had his panic attack, when puss looked over at him, the area he was standing in with the rocks and trees were shaped like a cartoon skull.
the thing is, i just realized by watching these review videos that death having physical appearance make so much sense since everyone is a fairy tale characters.
I think the part that solidified this movie as good for me was immediately following Puss’s panic attack when he was talking to Perro and Kitty overheard part of it. In most other movies we would see Kitty miss out on part of the conversation and misinterpret the meaning about what they are talking about. But that isn’t what they gave us. They did have her miss an important bit of the conversation yes but what she did hear wasn’t misinterpreted. It showed her that Puss was different and genuinely regretted his past actions. She then used that information to be her better self. I love this movie
OMG I KNOW RIGHT. I was so ready for it to be uncomfortable and Puss fumbles the apology repeatedly and she keeps pushing him on it because she knows he regrets it and she wants to watch him squirm. But instead he just does it. He listens to Perrito and after one jab about their wedding he apologises wholeheartedly even though he doesnt know what to say.
Also the scene where Goldie spit it out wy she's after the star: in any other instance, the Bears would've left her alone against Puss, Kitty and Jack, doing a "grand entrance" at the moment of need to save her, using the "we are a family" as some cool, one line entrance. Instead they used that motivation in the most hearth warming, simple and effective way... "we are a family, even if you don't recognize, so we're going to make you happy and keep helping you get the wish". I LOVE IT.
I also really enjoyed that. It happened several times where I was thinking oh great here comes the trope. And guess what it didn’t come! The conflict at the end felt realistic. Also a favorite part of mine and many others was in that scene were Perrito was helping puss and he didn’t say shit about being a therapy dog. He just did what he thought he should do. It’s nice when a movie respects its audience and that it doesn’t need to beat you over the head with the plot points.
YES THO. Also in the cave of lost souls, where usually the hero in Puss's place would quickly lose themselves to the old glory days--but instead Puss realizes just how lonely he really was and how that effected those he cared about on top of it. He only gets side tracked and guns for the star because literal death pops in on him
They handled his anxiety SO WELL. Especially focusing on death anxiety, As someone who struggles with it. when they showed him have an anxiety attack it was so well done.
DUDE FOR REAL I felt some real emotions for Puss in this movie, he was portrayed so well and his struggles felt so real. That one scene you mentioned was just gut wrenching but also I loved it And Perrito was not just an annoying comic relief character but also turned out to be very useful and helpful! When the two formed a bond it did not feel a bit forced, I believed it
I’ve always had a weak spot for animated shows and movies giving its audience an accurate portrayal of anxiety. This movie was no different, if not, more so. We see Puss, a confident, arrogant cat, actually hold a realistic amount of FEAR. I was almost moved to tears.
pusses anxiety attack scene was absolutely amazing. Seeing this animated cat on the ground breathing heavily, it made my heart twist. I cannot stress enough how much EVERYONE needs to see this movie. In my opinion this is the best movie of 2022 and maybe even 2023.
Jack Horner really surprised me. He wasn’t in any of the trailers I watched so I didn’t expect much and loved him. With all these characters growing and changing, having an unapologetic static asshole was amazing. And god he was really funny. He and death are honestly two of my new favorite dreamworld villains
The fact he was such a nasty soul that even his conscience ditched him and gleefully ensured Jack’s demise is the type of villain I wish we had more of in media now a days. A few grey characters here and there are good, but having a pure evil character to bounce them off on makes for excellent viewing 👍
And he's voiced by fucking John Mulaney. What an incredible performance, he really needs to do more voice acting work because he brought so much character to the role.
I love how they didn't plot armor Puss, he straight up just turned tail and RAN FOR HIS LIFE. And the wolf let him go because the more Puss feared death, the more just Death felt in taking his life as his motivation was Puss was taking advantage of his lives...then wants to wish for 9 more because he wasted the other ones? Oh hell no. lol
Heres the real reason, but i do like yours as well :) Death was after puss in this life to take him early, because cats have 9 lives.. which ticks off death. Nothing too much right? But its the fact that puss doesnt value his lives which angers death and feels like hes tormenting him. So he begins his chase, “trying to kill” puss in boots. But what was really happening be was instilling fear into puss, which ultimately leads to him valuing his life. To quote Death “I came here looking for an arrogant little legend…” that he wanted to kill. And he did. Without killing anything physical. So his goals were met, and now puss can live his life with full value, awaiting deaths much less violent return
I personally loved the scene where Goldie realises she had the "just right" family all along and embraced Mama bear with tears, it was the scene that made me emotional. Loved the way all the characters stories were portrayed
It's times like this where I am reminded what animation is truly capable of. Disney can keep pushing out generically animated, money grubbing, OK movies, but it's studios like Sony and Dreamworks who are now picking up the slack and delivering brilliantly animated masterpieces that will stand the test of time. I think our time is truly a new renaissance for animation.
Honestly, what would happen if Sony and DreamWorks collide together to give us all a true fucking perfect movie. That'll show the world even underdogs can be on top
*SPOILER* The part of the movie that absolutely won me over, that completely upended literal decades of Dreamworks slapstick comedy ruining heartfelt moments was after Puss escaped his second encounter with Death. He ran and hid in the dying forest of his own imagination, and Perrito found him in the middle of a powerful anxiety attack, the sound of Puss’s racing heartbeat pounding through the theater speakers. Earlier in the movie it was foreshadowed that if Puss needed to feel better, he’d just need to rub Perrito’s belly. It was lighthearted and comedic for that scene, illustrating Perrito’s undying optimism. But it would’ve been so out of place here. I thought ‘oh boy, here it is, the slapstick shenanigans that completely ruin the gravity of a situation. He’s gonna whip out his swollen belly and smother Puss with it, Madagascar 3 style’. BUT NO. I wasn’t prepared for what happened next. What Perrito did was the most profound and heartwarming thing I’ve seen in animation in years. With concern and confusion in his eyes, but desperate to help his friend, he got close to Puss… and laid his head on Puss’s lap. The heartbeat slowed, then calmed and quieted down. This shook me. My eyes watered up and I silently cried. It was a moment that transcended cinema and found a way into the deepest most personal parts of my life. I too have a pup, and I too have found myself in a graveyard of my own imagination, ridden with anxiety, unable to move. And my pup was there to do *the exact same thing*. This here, this scene RIGHT HERE, sealed the deal. There would be no hijinks or tomfoolery. Even after the stunning fight scenes and amazing character designs, this here let me know I was in the middle of a masterpiece. This movie had no business treading these waters. But it does it so masterfully, and should be unceasingly praised for having the guts to do so. 10/10
This is the best comment I've read so far concerning the movie. That scene was the moment I knew that this movie was something special. Not a cash grab, not an agenda, not filler, but art. True...art. How could an animated movie about talking cats marketed for kids be this mature and emotionally powerful? I fully believe that the people behind this movie put their heart and soul into it, and you can just feel it oozing out of every frame, and every second. I've had experiences with panic attacks during my youth, and they are not fun. After my first experience with one, I didn't have the words to describe to my family what I had experienced because it was just too intense and too alien for me to put into words. And somehow, an animated movie about talking cats managed to perfectly capture and convey that experience more than anything I've ever seen in my life...and that's powerful to me. To know that these people behind the movie get what I went through and to show it in such detail in a family movie was unbelievable and amazing. I love this movie with all my heart for that, and I hope more people see it.
That swollen belly gag was cringe, easily the worst part of the movie. In general there were so many places where I was like "uh oh, they better not go the cringey cliched children's movie path", but they didn't!
Honestly the Wolf's whistle absolutely gave me goosebumps, it was slightly discordant and haunting, and I was trying to catch a tune that was *nearly* there but just wasn't. It was a great way to introduce a character as frightening as death, and the character itself was also amazing.
The whistling itself is also a reference to The Silbon, a Latin American ghost story/ myth about a vengeful spirit that can be identified by it’s whistling.
The Wolf (or Death) was my favorite part of this film. The way he is introduced by his whistle and his dark dark aura and color scheme, to his very sarcastic way, yet terrifying way, of saying to Puss *"I am going to take your own life because you don't value yours"* is done exceptionally well. He is definitely one of my favorite DreamWork villains of all time. Literally, every time he was shown on screen I got goosebumps just like Puss, and the way they made him feel Fear and how that it can also fear us humans is just amazing. The other characters were amazing as well but The Wolf (Death) is the one character that makes this movie so interesting, deep, dark, and meaningful.
I wouldn't call him a villain per say I mean antagonistic yeah but at the end of the day he was just Death. Scary and intimidating sure but I don't really think he was all that evil honestly. That's just my opinion though.
@@bewareking6458 You have a point, but he was Puss's villain for a while, until the very end when he was not because he started to value his life (only his last just like we only have one). In the end, The Wolf (Death) is more like an Anti-Hero, but he can be someone's villain too. A person like Big Jack Horner could have The Wolf as his villain since he is really The Villain I guess you could say since he was the only one who wanted something selfish, not to mention his lack for life in general except himself. Gosh, there is so much to this movie that the more I think about it, it's so excellent in so many ways. Truly, this movie will go down as one of the classics Dreamworks ever made.
Saw this movie last night. Easily one of the best Dreamworks movies of all time. Every part of it blew me away. I’m glad you liked it, the theater was EMPTY except me and 4 other people. This movie deserves so much more from the audience.
Had the exact same experience today at my local theater. Me, my brother and two of our cousins went in at 8:30 P.M. and not a single other person was in the theater. We need to get the word out and support great animated flicks like this.
Dreamworks just handed Disney their beer to hold. A sequel to a spinoff of a sequel is, by far, the best animated film of the year, maybe of the last 5, and one of the best Dreamworks has ever done. I hope they keep the momentum and creativity going.
@@hassassinator8858 They are the biggest, therefore they got the attention of the ideologues. They were the ones being poisoned meticulously for over a decade. If Dreamworks takes the throne, the attention will shift on them, and they will be injected with the cancer the same way.
@@peterrealar2.067Yes as a huge KFP fan I’m excited for the fourth movie. So far what they have mentioned has me excited and I can’t wait to see how deep they go with the fourth one. KFP2 is my favorite of the trilogy so we will see if the fourth challenges it or surpasses it.
light spoilers for the movie!! . . . death is so well-designed; the way his pupils constrict into tiny pinpricks, with puss reflecting in his red irises, gave me fucking goosebumps dude. and the way the tune he whistles goes from haunting and bone-chilling to familiar and even comforting by the end of the movie, once the conflict is resolved,, beautiful. love this fucking movie so much.
Spoilers for the movie I honestly wanna point out how throughout the movie before puss matures he always says “I laugh in the face of death” which at the start he did but at the end when he overcomes death in the duel, He doesn’t laugh, He’s matured to respect death , this is also why death leaves, because now fully respects life
Yassssss he was so amazing, I was LITERALLY leaning forward at the edge of my seat in some of his scenes, I couldn't look away. The way he moves, the design, the animation, and the sppoky whistle grrrrr aaaaaggghh bbbnnnn wjjwjjs just woaah
Death perfectly resembles how a lot of people think about death and feels about it Your last chance, your fear, your villain or anti hero or hero right there doing what it’s gonna do to you
Honestly, Death and Shen are my top 2 favourite Dreamworks villains. It was refreshing to see an actual intimidating villain rather than a cheap plot-twist one that Disney seems to be favouring...
My absolute favorite thing about this movie is when Puss gets touched by Death’s blade during their first encounter, all of Puss’ lives flash before his eyes, but when Puss is in trouble with Death at the end of the movie, only this one life flashed before his eyes. It’s such a beautiful thing to see and it really makes the story come full circle
The thing about puss in boots that caught my eye was its animation style. As Disney sits around and pumps one animated film after another that looks like an Encanto reboot, Puss in boots has a unique animation style that looks like a mashup of classic 2d animation and 3d animation, kind of like Spider Man: into the Spiderverse. I love this kind of animation because it brings the modernity, functionality, and smoothness of modern animation along with giving the animators a chance to express their own unique art style with character design, backgrounds, and more. I genuinely love this move, definently recommend!
The Spider Verse movie has really changed animation for the better, nice to see more films not following the generic Pixar look that has been trending for the past 20 years.
I don't think "Encanto reboot" really fits here, as Encanto was not the first movie with that idealized and inoffensive style. The first that comes to mind is Tangled, but I'm fairly sure it's older than that, too... though maybe that's on the Pixar side? But yes, I agree. Other studios are branching out with unique animation, while it seems that for once Disney is lagging behind, too obsessed with their live-action remakes to try something new. I doubt Disney will die off anytime soon, but if they refuse to change then there's a chance that someone new will take their place as the biggest and best animation studio.
@@oranplan1630 I feel like Tangled style really suited the movie and especially for the time it was impressive but Disney has been playing it way too safe with their style. At least Pixar has been doing a variety of character designs with Soul, Luca, Turning Red, etc. strange world could’ve been cool if they really committed to the pulp scifi comic style
@@oranplan1630 Facts. Then with the explosive success of Frozen, it cemented that style as the only style Disney would ever do again just to ride its own coattails of success for as long as financially possible. Hence the dragon in Raya just being Elsa's fursona. Sadly the style was set as the standard for 3D, every one else copying the style since it's been proven to sell and executives liked that. But they seem to be loosening their iron grip on Pixar to let them experiment on slight variations of the Frozen Style the last 2 years, though. Then with Strange World all they did was a slightly different style of editing/motion and the male's eye style (all the female characters are still Frozen/Encanto looking while male characters look like they're from Turning Red...), the essence of the generic, inoffensive, safe style was still there though. Everything rounded, smooth, soft, clean. Even metal. How do they make rust and concrete/stone look clean and soft?? Clothes designed simply as if they were to be animated in 2d then look bland and empty in 3d, lacking even wrinkles and imperfections. Faces stretch but barley scrunch or make any unappealing smear frames between expressions/movement. Squeaky clean from top to bottom, inside and out. Same for the environments. Evem swampy areas have no bugs, no where has any life aside from showing a weird animal for a single establishing shot, never to be seen again. Puss in Boots is SUCH a welcome change. Finally. Rocks look rough, things can be sharp, expressive exaggerated movement, expressions that hold so much, environments that are full and messy! _A new style!!!_ ANIMATION and all it can do!!!!!
It’s a testament to how bulletproof the Shrek franchise is. The way they twist fairy tales into something different and how it joins SpongeBob with the meme pop culture makes it incredible
Thanks to the success of Shrek, Animation in America has been creatively handicapped. Endless sequels, lack of new ideas and animations styles. Shrek is also Post Modernist in its artform, meaning instead of crafting new architypes, it derives its meaning from tearing existing ones down. Reference humour and meme pop culture is funny, but in 20 years it will date worse than its contemporaries of the time like Atlantis, Dinosaur, and especially The Prince of Egypt. It's easy to build stories based on critically undermining what makes stories an artform or convey a meaningful message, but when the whole industry follows that example, the talent pool gets smaller and eventually business people just copy and past their products and the public eat it up because they've been primed to by meme culture. Illuminations producing Despicable Me and Minions is a prime example of this. Furthermore, it shouldn't take Sony 5 ice Age films to eventually produce something like Into the Spiderverse. Very few studios and directors are putting in the time to create something new which in terms evolves the craft of filmmaking. Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Guellimo Del Toro, etc. This is also why films like Avatar are panned for alledgly being 'derivative', 'Pocahontas in space', military bad/ natives good', and 'White Saviour complex', because Avatar is not trying to deconstruct architypes and fairytales like all Post Modernist films do. Avatar is very genuine in its storytelling and message, because it's Modernist in its purpose. However, today's audience is Post-modernist and judges films as products of corporations, not projects of passionate filmmakers. Had Star Wars been first release in the late 2000's, it would've been successful like Avatar, but panned for being derivative of Hidden Fortress, Dune, and cultural appropriation of Taoist philosophy. Just look at how overly critical people are of Star Wars today. It's all become trash culture.
@@corneliusmaze-eye2459 You can still be genuine and create new shit and deliver profound messages and be completely serious even while deconstructing archetypes and tropes for fun. Heck, people actually like it when you re-construct them now, either unapologetically or with a small ritual self-acknowledgement dance. You don't necessarily have to undermine anything anymore, you can opt to reaffirm and cherish in a slightly coy and more mature way instead, and some smart creators made use of it, hence the "metamodern" and "post-irony" talk all over the Internet. What you can't do, however, is to do things in a blunt modernist way, because at this point it's just rehashed and _lazy_ , and all the critical panning you incur for this is thusly completely deserved. It's kinda unfair to blame postmodernism in general or Shrek in particular for greedily careful corporate approach. Postmodernist form does not and should not automatically warrant creative sterility and shallowness. Parasitic as it may be, in the end it's a form in its own right, just a slighly more complex shape, which can be much more than a funny false mirror. Now we've got plenty of examples of animation that tried to fill this form with something beside shallow mockery and won. Gravity Falls. Bojack. Arcane. Rick and Morty walks a dangerous line, but ultimately is genuine. And that's just off the top of my head.
@@AthenaTennosN I think what makes Shrek shine where its imitators don't is i's sincerity, which is often overlooked for its parody/homage. Shrek etc take place in a world where fairy tales are silly and gross and comedic yet they each tell a real story within that world. So what if Puss in Boots is a Zorro expy fighting against a Goldilocks and nursery rhyme crime boss? Here's the story of how they confront their mortality and selfishness and either find the love around them or fall. The world is a joke but the story isn't. So, we actually get invested.
@@pippastrelle that was my point, really. Storytelling ain't math, joke plus joke doesn't always mean twice as much lighthearted laughter. Jurassic Bark, if that rings a bell, is one of my favorite examples of this. The episode is 99% gags and the characters are caricatures, arguably more than in any other episode of Futurama, yet no one's laughing by the end of it.
SPOILERS!! The way they made Death whistle was such a great addition. The tune is haunting and just the fact its a whistle and not a loud roar or scream is so eerie and perfect and really makes you feel the anxiety consuming Puss in those moments.
I love the new trend of trying out different animation styles and techniques. Bad Guys, SpiderVerse, and now surprisingly, Puss In Boots 2 are now some of my favorite films. Please, other animation studios, take notes!!
Shoot, I'll even throw Turning Red up there. Loving seeing animators have the freedom to test their limits. Absolute feast for my eyes, please never stop giving us these masterpieces
@@Adamant_Adam Right? I'd also include Arcane, though it's a T.V. show, along with Lego Monkie Kid. And Wolfwalkers, but that studios been doing their thing for a long time. All of these have made me fall in love with Western animation all over again. There's so much passion and energy bursting in every frame, I can't even
this is unoronically one of the best movies that i’ve ever seen in my life, there where multiple times when i almost cried tears at its beautiful animation and story.
@@mushroomlord1372 awwwe because honestly… same lmao. it’s richie tozier from It (2017/ 2019) if he did a self portrait. this comment made my whole week 😭
My most concern about the movie was Perrito. I thought he's gonna be annoying as hell and extremely irritating like Olaf but turned out to be one of my favourite parts of the movie. I absolutely love him, the best part of him was when he roasted the Bears and Goldi with a bunch of beeps sound effect 😂😂😂
I cried three times during this movie. It was beautiful, and every character had a meeting, including perrito. When I saw the characters in the trailer, I thought Perrito was just gonna be a marketable character, who had no real fleshed out story, but I was wrong, and I am happy that I was. I am extremely bummed that I haven’t seen that many people in the movie theaters for it because I went twice two weeks apart, and both times the theater was kind of empty. This movie needs its recognition. It deserves.
My dad asked me why I'd rather see Puss in Boots 2 than Disenchanted. I replied that it looked like Puss in Boots had more heart, more love put into it while Disenchanted was a soulless rehash of a previous property designed to milk audiences' wallets. Finally I can tell my dad I was right.
Enchanted is my second favorite disney movie and I can confirm Disenchanted sucked. Luckily I never set high expectations for it after what happened with Wreck-It Ralph 2. (WIR is my first favorite disney film)
The next DreamWorks movie is Meet The Gillmans releasing next summer and looks to be the biggest project the studio has ever done in it's history due to it's super ultra secret status at the company, litterarly there's no official word from DreamWorks to this day and it comes out in 6/7 MONTHS!!!!!!!!
I saw this movie with my little cousin who is six. It was her very first time wathing a movie in cinema and it was absolutely amazing seeing her being amazed by the beauty of this movie. While watching, I spent minutes explaining her the small, but important things this movie taught the viewers. Afterwards, she wanted to see more, it was as if she was still under the movies spell. Even hours after this, before going to bed, she kept asking questions. This movie made a great impact on a child's life and I'm sure, she won't forget this experience.
In the italian version she was voiced by the same VA that did miravel from encanto and spinel from Steven universe. Perrito had the same voice as steven and mama bear had blue diamond's
To this day I will always love that first Puss in Boots movie. I was ugly laughing in some parts, I still remember that. After seeing the trailers and ads for this movie I thought it might just be a cash grab even tho I loved the first one. But after seeing this review, I’m truly happy this movie turned out amazing. I definitely gotta see it.
If it Was a Cashgrab, Then They Would’ve Not Went All Out With The Animation and Marketing Towards it. Unlike Disney But, You Should Definitely Check Out it
@@mom40i went in seeing like, one trailer and I did not want to see it. Yesterday, my parents took us out to the theaters, and I wasn’t that enthusiastic about watching this movie, but my GOD, as an animator and digital artist, THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD?? Like, not just story wise but the animation was MMMMMMMMM SO GOOD. The change of frame rates, the color palette, THE DETAIL AND STYLE?!? Truly felt like eye candy, amazing movie, made me cry. Never have or wanted to watch the first one, but this new one gave me motivation to just, watch the shrek franchise all over again.
Man, this movie came into my life right when I needed it, I just saw it today after yesterday I had a breakdown because the uncertainty of the future was too much for me, I didn't even know what to do with my life, the fear of death of those close to me that are maybe a bit old was dominating me. This truly made me feel a bit better
Watching Perrito snuggle up next to Puss while he was laying there helplessly trembling with his heart racing made me cry so badly in the theater. I'm not even joking. Perrito is my favorite character in this film, and I kind of thought he was going to be my least favorite. It's the Brett Hand effect. He was so nice and clingy, you think he's gonna be annoying, but then you find out their backstory and man I'm myself teary eyed again. Why do I relate so damn much to nice people?? Why can't I relate to jerks 🤦 EVEN THE SCENE WHERE PERRITO STARTS SWEARING. HE GETS KIDNAPPED AND HE AND THE CAPTURES BECOME BEST FRIENDS THROUGH VULGARITY THAT'S THE SWEETEST THING EVER 🤧
Same! I thought I would hate the dog, I usually do hate the comedic sidekick, but he's so genuinely kind and doesn't constantly cause problems in the name of his kindness that so many other sidekicks like him do so I actually wasn't frustrated at him the entire time, so he was actually intertwining and cute! I didn't expect to love the character but did. _Just_ like Brett Hand.
That's a perfect way to describe it! Perrito is very similar to Brett and I appreciate characters like this so when they're done right. They genuinely good people that inspire and help those around them to be better.
In the first scene in the retirement home he was a bit annoying and I didn't think he would be any good, but then he did well and was even pretty nice sometimes.
Spoilers for the end . . . They way the music swells and transitions into the main theme for Shrek when Puss says "and to see some old friends" makes me tear up. The fact that is a tease at a possible new Shrek movie, but even more so that them sailing away to Far Far Away actually fits narratively into the movie. Instead of them probably randomly showing up in whatever Shrek movie they do next, they actually wrote a reason for them to be back there. I'm loving this Renaissance of Dreamworks that has been going on lately.
@@anaveragedude8848 Shrek 5 has been in production hell for roughly a decade at this point; but, maybe this film is a sign that Shrek 5 is getting produced, properly.
As someone who has suffered through panic attacks in the past, I can officially say that this movie PERFECTLY captured what they feel like. I was shocked to see an animated movie marketed towards kids portray that with such accuracy. It's amazing.
@Cyrilcynder I'm glad to find others that felt the same way at that scene. I've mostly felt bashful because I have been teased as a child by my peers for getting overly emotional at a movie or TV show
My mother hated this movie to the point I doubted my own love for it. To me, it was magical. The animation, the voice performances, the heart. The portrayals of trust issues and anxiety attacks struck a chord in me as someone with those issues myself. I was worried the dog would get annoying, I was bracing for it because I’m so used to that from the goofy sidekick characters, but instead I resonated with him and his naivety. Someone who doesn’t even realise what’s really happening to them until it’s pointed out and just wants to help others feel happier than they do. I’m glad to see that others like it, people who appreciate movies as much as I do. Because I don’t trust my mother, her favourite movie of all time is unironically Cars 2 please make fun of that
Don't worry it's normal. People of a certain age tend to dislike this type of animated movies. They love boring realistic movies with stiff animations and generic plot. Show her the trailer of Into the spiderverse. She's not gonna like it.
As an artist I might say that the animation and colors made me stunned, and the story fits just well! Im literally shocked that no one was talking about this film. If you didn't see the movie please watch it, you will not regret it. We need more masterpices like this!
@MEME GUY I watched Spirited Away in a class one time, most of the kids didn’t see the movie if it is as good enough, they saw it as another film, the anime kids of the class (maybe) gave the same reaction as the rest of the class. Thinking about the situation now, I felt sad that kids will watch anything as long as if it is FuNNy and OH HAHAAHAA! the experience was like giving the formula from Einstein and giving to the babies to appreciate it, the class was old enough the appreciate these films by the way.
I was joking with my friends that after the Christmas party we should go to the mall and watch a movie on whatever the cinemas has and one of them has puss in boots but I never thought this movie would actually be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The style, the animation, comedy yet balanced with serious emotional topics, the message, the way this movie depicts death IT'S JUST SO GOOD. I have no regrets spending my allowance on this movie.
Honestly this movie actually made cry His life flashing before his eyes, and once he got cut and realized that could literally be your last moment hits hard for anyone Some of us will face some kind of flashing before your eyes moment or realizing this could be the end moment And I think this movie perfectly shows us that it’s scary but you can still live 😊
As a fan of lifelong Dreamworks fan I'm so glad that the studio is experiencing a Renaissance with two bangers in a row after years of Trolls and Boss Baby. Let's hope they keep up that momentum!
Fellow DreamWorks fan who actually likes Trolls and Boss Baby. Definitely don’t rate them higher than some of their other movies, but I think they still have heart in them and their popularity does bring in funding the company can use on other projects. No way would a studio go through a whole process of making animated scrap book sequences if they didn’t care what they were creating, along with the great hair and ‘felty’ texturing animation. Boss Baby is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know people don’t like it, but there’s a certain charm that has me quite invested in the series. Probably helps that I saw the movie with a friend and had such a blast watching it with them.
7:12 FINALLY! THANK YOUUU!! Every review I’ve seen either doesn’t talk about Jack or speaks negatively about him. John Mulaney’s performance as Jack Horner is so underrated and he deserves more praise. I love John Mulaney and he knocked it out of the park with this one
I saw one said that they didnt feel like John Mulaney fit the character and I was just >:/ I think if people think that, it's just cause they just kept hearing John Mulaney the person, meanwhile I didnt even know who voiced Jack but I remember while watching I thought about the voice and how it fit and that I liked it. The voice and voice acting is just great
@@klltsun_2576 I didn't know much of anything about the movie and went in as blind as possible. I didn't even realize it was John Mulaney until the end credits, when I thought, "Duh, of course it was!" I think it attests to how well the performance fits the character and the movie that I wasn't thinking about the people behind the characters while I was watching.
I realized it waz john mulaney voicing Jack about halfway through the movie and thought it made perfect sense. He has that 'childish but evil' voice nailed down. Perfect for a grown-up version of a child character. Plus he's very animated and, obviously, comedically talented. I really can't see any downsides here.
"There is a purpose to every moment, every frame of this movie." You can not be anymore right about that! Every scene in this movie felt significant. There weren't any characters or storybeats to me that felt like they were underdeveloped or overstayed their welcome, which is very rare in most movies. Everything about this movie was just exceptional, and I can't wait to rewatch it as soon as possible!
I was very amazed that Death didn’t have any comedic personality and they managed to make his character very serious and terrifying. Dreamworks knows how to make a perfectly designed villain, especially the Big Bad Wolf. It’s safe to say the sequel exceeded my expectations and it is better than the first one by a long shot.
For me personally, I can’t put this movie, or Shrek 2 above one another. They both came out at such memorable points of my life that they affected me very differently. This movie tackles some more mature themes then Shrek 2 that now I as an adult can relate to. They are both masterpieces in their own right, and deserve to be praised as much as the other. Can’t wait for Shrek 5!
Please, do a review on this movie yourself. Please spread the word-of-mouth to get people to watch this amazing movie! Plus, I would actually love to hear your opinion on the movie.
@@mrgroovy5113 i plan on it :D working on another video at the moment and dont wanna do anything else until i finish it and make it as good as possible haha
One thing that's quite interesting is that the big bad wolf being revealed as death is kind of a twist but in the sense that it develops the villain instead of being a shock factor. Kind of like the king candy twist in some ways
This is, hands down, the tightest scrips I've seen in a cinema in ages. No wasted second, no useless interaction, juggling 3 sets of characters effortlessly - this is masterwork of storytelling.
Dreamworks either makes: 1. The most horrible, vomit inducing, annoying and widespread movies ever Or 2. The most beautiful, heartfelt, stories with beautiful animation that squeezes tears from everyone
It's totally subjective, but imo the bad ones are: the entire Madagascar series, Bee Movie, Shrek 3 and 4, Monsters vs. Aliens, Kung Fu Panda 3, HTTYD 3, Trolls. I dunno if they're "truly bad" but they're not enjoyable watches.
While it lacks the emotional depth of Shrek 2, I truly believe that Puss in Boots' sequel is the best thing to come out from the big green ogre’s entire franchise since its 2004 sequel. On top of that, 2022, in financial terms, might be DreamWorks Animation’s biggest year of dethroning Disney’s Strange World and Pixar’s Lightyear with this, along with The Bad Guys. Here’s to the cat being nominated a second time at the Academy Awards after 11 years.
@@ZorrotheArtist That movie is very subjective. A lot of people kinda missed the old characters while watching. Like seeing puss in boots not be very Puss in boots is kinda sad lol.
at first i thought the dog and the bear family were some side characters to make unfuny jokes but oh boy i was wrong . they literally made me cry from how rich were their story!
i almost cried bc of how much i LOVED THE ANIMATION and everything in this when i watched it, very disappointed to see how many empty seats there were in the theatre i was in but this has become one of my, if not my most favourite animated movie ive watched so far!
just saw the movie in cinema a few hours ago, and I am obsessed. I've already watched so many reviews to see what other thinks, but this video is the only one that describes the same thing I'm feeling. This movie has hit me on such a deep level and it deserves so much. Thank you.
I think it is flopping in USA due to the snow at the moment but I am from Mexico and the theater was full even just a few days ago. Which is a rare sight to see because usually movies stop receiving lots of costumers around two weeks into the release of a movie. Hopefully other countries can make this movie successful!
@@patrickripleyiii134it could flop in U.K. and Republic of Ireland because of its late release date, it’s gets released 3rd of February 2023 in both nations.
I love this movie so much, it's so rare for me to be invested in shows and movies but for this, oh my god it was amazing. The Goldilocks plot was actually so much more emotional and interesting than I thought it would be. I like how not everyone isn't redeemed (ifykyk) and the artstyle is just so pleasing I want to eat it off the screen. I absolutely love how much more mature it was than I expected too. Everything just exceeded expectations to be honest. The plot wasnt as predictable as I thought it was going to be and that's just a huge plus
I agree with this comment so much, Goldilocks had my heart jajdkkdknd and yeah the way they handle mature themes but still know how to deliver it so it's ok for kids and it is so fun and creative and just this is so good
I really love Puss' characterization and development in this movie. He is a fearless and brave individual and he found identity in that. But in most ways, he took it for granted. He lived a life where his 9 lives were disposable, where there was no true value in them, until his final one. So, when the doctor confronted him on the reality of the situation, he hated it. Mocked it even. He's the fearless Puss in boots after all. What would his life be if he wasn't living in danger? But only when confronted by a bounty hunter coming after his life, and being completely overwhelmed in battle, where he truly realizes the reality and value of his 1 singular life. And this part of the movie gave me literal chills. The animation and visual team did an amazing job showing Puss' despair, with his hair standing up as it slowly reaches to his face, and how he was willing to go through a toilet to save himself. The lengths he was willing to take to live is so reflective of what humans would do to live, sometimes even doing morally evil things too. He wasn't fearless, he was full of fear. He wasn't Puss in Boots, he was a scaredy cat. Puss has a traumatic experience from that throughout the entire movie, with the wolf's signature whistle being a huge trigger for him, and it's such a menacing way of introducing him into the scene too. Speaking of the wolf, he's such a menacing and terrifying antagonist. His presence and character design are great, but what makes him so scary is his visual portrayal mixed with the voice acting. The movie wasn't afraid to not cater to kids and to not be limited by that. Which is a problem I have with some films, where mature themes aren't done to the fullest potential due to limitations. The way he effortlessly dodges Puss' attacks and instills fear into him is so memorable and impactful. Puss being haunted by the fear of death is something we need to take into consideration too in our lives. People love to live in the present, but also don't see the biggest problem of death right in front of us. We rather not think about it because it's such a scary reality. So, when life hits us, we're like Puss facing the reality of death for the first time. We're vulnerable and afraid. And not everyone tells people about how they're feeling. Some people keep it to themselves, which is what Puss did throughout the movie till he shows vulnerability and expresses his fears to Perro the dog. Even the most powerful people will still succumb to the fear of death when reality hits them. Goldilocks and the 3 bears were also amazing characters, where she was seeking for the wishing star because she doesn't have an ordinary family. By "just right", she wanted and craved for a human family. She used her foster family as steppingstones to reach her goal of replacing them, which is so tragic because she faces an issue of envy. When a person is clouded with envy, they aren't grateful for what they have, and would do what they can to obtain what they don't have. I also love the build up to the eventual reveal of her wish. Her appreciating the simpler times with the bears in their house was so heart-warming. It's the small things that often go unappreciated, like how she would hold this fairy tale book as a child wherever she would go, sleeping on comfy bed, drinking soup with her foster family, and so on. Sometimes, you just have to stop and take a look around you. You have a house to live that house's memories. You have food and water. You have transport to go to different places. You have photos with your families and friends that you can reminisce. You can even go beyond that and just admire the complexities of the world. How trees give you shade when it's a sunny day, or how the sky has a pleasing and calming colour, and even animals and how unique they all are. There are a lot more aspects that I really love about this movie but I'll stop right here. I definitely recommend watching it. Not only is it narratively nuanced, but the pacing of the movie is also good. Cinematography and choreography of the fights are so well done too, which is one benefit of the movie being 2.5D.
I loved the wolf, he was eerie and an actually scary villain. Like every time he whistled I got chills and I swear I heard him behind me as we got up after the movie. Love the wolf character Spoiler alert: Edit: also I love how the wolf character broke the crystals of his past lives in that one scene
I just loved how good they were to express the emotions, the fear the panic the bonding, the melancholy ,everything was so good, I cried the whole movie because of how good everything was
Watching this film made me feel like a kid again and probably the strongest range of emotional reactions I've ever felt watching a film. DreamWorks proved they're still capable of making both fantastic original movies and sequels alike :)
Can't wait for Shrek 5. To see the trio of Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots back together again. Then see Kitty Softpaws interact with the other characters of the Shrek franchise. Namely Fiona and Dragon. Being honest when I first heard about this movie. I thought it was going to be another prequel that lead to how Puss in Boots met Shrek and Donkey. But I'm very happy with direction they took.
I like how the last few masterpieces of film have been incredibly stylized animated movies. Puss in Boots, Spiderverse, How To Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda are all so visually distinct and regarded as great movies (I'm sure there are more, but they aren't coming to mind)
I honestly can't recall the last time my heart was beating as fast in a movie theater than it did during the scenes with death in this movie. I absolutely LOVED the animation of this movie. It really makes me happy to see more animated movies strive to use that same kind of flare that Spider-Verse had, and take a more artistic and stylistic approach rather than go for something hyper-realistic. I really enjoyed the theme of facing one's mortality and found myself actually caring about each of the characters. This film has genuinely made me excited to see what's in store for upcoming Shrek movies and I can't wait to see other animated movies that really embrace their medium like this.
I’m loving this new animation art style that Dreamworks has been using lately. First with The Bad Guys and now with Puss in Boots 2. I really hope Kung Fu Panda 4 has a similar style.
Having just watched the film, I can confirm this movie is a banger! I remember not really caring when this was announced, but the talk of the movie made me want to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. Really enjoyed the art style, and the villains were super enjoyable. Even the so-called weakest villain in Goldilocks and the three bears really captivated me with their crime gang humour and surprisingly deep backstory. Too much good stuff to say about it
That’s how good this movie is! Even Goldilocks who admittedly is the weakest part for me, is still super enjoyable and well written character. She just has the minor misfortune of being compared to Jack Horner and literal Death
he’s not being sarcastic i literally watched the movie myself and it’s just beautiful the animation the storyline and everything it’s like puss in boots and the spider verse animation in one, i’m being serious when i say this, it’s the best animated movie i’ve seen this year
This is the first movie in literal years that I've been so invested in a movie, that I reached the end of the movie. And as the credits started to roll, i realized I still had half a bucket full of popcorn in the theater
this movie felt like it lasted 30 minutes 😭😭 me and my SO went to see it together after not seeing each other for over a week. I swear we didn’t look at eachother the whole time we were both so INVOLVED dude. prob my favorite animated movie of all time tbh
I saw the movie last night, and it was one of the best movies I’ve seen this year if not the best. There weren’t really any flaws that were noticeable enough to distract me from the experience, the characters felt so well animated and full of life, and the visuals were incredible.
The only thing I would change was how gross Perrito's belly looked in that one scene and the fact that's such a small and short issue shows how great the movie is
I went with a friend to see this opening day, there was only a few people in the theater. We’re both pretty much college aged, and we both nearly cried throughout this movie. We left the theater near tears, feeling very hopeful. It felt like I was a kid again, and I can’t stop thinking about this movie
The amount of effort Antonio Banderas put into this project is insane. He had to record Fearless Hero in english and Spanish (Quién es tu héroe favorito) and dub the entire movie in English, Spanish, Latin Spanish and Italian. Who the fuck does that 🙀
I loved the first Puss in Boots film mostly because it played the fairy tale theme straight while still keeping the wacky and unusually intense stakes the mainline Shrek franchise is known for, and had really high hopes for this film because of that. I am so glad that the sequel actually does do more than the original and I will be seeing it soon
I watched the movie yesterday and I was afraid they wouldn't do Puss's character justice but I was so glad I was wrong. They give him justice and so much more beyond. 🥹🧡
This year has been really good for animation as a whole. And 2023 looks to be a better year. And it's getting to a point where Disney might be the weakest animation studio next year
@@lol-ih1tl With how well received Minions 2 was and the Mario movie looking like a passion project, Illumination is definitely going through it already. They also opened an animation studio that’ll focus on more mature animated movies and I hope it’s not like modern adult shows trying to be the next family guy and more like primal
Is it just me or the way they revealed puss leaving the alter was just sooo jaw dropping! I thought at first they were referring to the first movie and didn't just get it 😂 Me and my family literally had the same reaction as Perro we literally had to pause for 5 mins to discuss what just happened This movie is so dang good 10/10
I legit got teary eyed watching you talk about this movie, I already loved Puss from the moment I saw him on screen in Shrek when I was a kid but just hearing you gush about the movie made me so happy. I already had high hopes for the movie just cause I love the character and the first movie was good but man. Now I wanna even more than before, great video and I will now most definitely see enjoy the hell out this movie.
I've never seen a ptsd induced panic attack dealt with by a film so well, and to resolve it with quiet understanding from a friend? It's all I never knew I needed
I have been stuck in a wheel chair for the past 17 years of my life, and it has been very hard for me Until this video made me stand up and run to the movie theater to go watch Puss in Boots. Thank you, Nick.
Nick I love you man but you GOTTA remember to call the "Spider-Verse" style the "Alberto Mielgo" style. That artstyle has been his trademark for years, and he basically single-handedly created the look of Spider-Verse. Unfortunately he's become an unsung legend in the animation world because he has gone widley uncredited for that.
I got a chance to go see this film a whole month before the film launched nationwide during "Caturday". I knew from the very moment when the first big fight happened, to the big finale with Death that this was going to be something truly special, especially having watched it with such an engaged audience of families, kids and adults who grew up on these Dreamworks films who seemed to have loved it as much as I did. When I told my Discord friends about having seen it early, I immediately said the moment the credits rolled that they were in for a major treat come December. On par with Del Toro's Pinocchio as the best animated film I've seen this year.
GO GIVE IT YOUR MONEY GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOO
YOOOOOOOOOOOO

THIS MOVIE WILL GET ALL MY MONEY
Ayo calm down. It beat the blue cats on Wednesday. It’s doing fine.
This movie was perfect and meant for the big screen! And I gave it my money wholeheartedly but seriously this movie gave me the chills. I loved it!
The first scene with the wolf is so scary, I love how they made puss bleed there, it makes him look so much more vulnerable and sets actual stakes
Gahhh Wolf is genuinely one of the best villians I've seen in a long time, and he plays the part SO WELL. Plus the vocal delivery? Chefs kiss
I was so surprised when Puss actually bled in that scene! I wasnt expecting them to use blood.
It was such a small amount but so significant!
Driving home his mortality with actual blood completely caught me by surprise. Bold move that did such a great job at selling the stakes from that point onward.
It made me consider that I could see one of my favorite childhood characters that seemed immortal due to the fairy tale nature die. I was on the edge of my seat, especially as a cat lover lol.
Fr, I wasn’t expecting that to happen
Can we just all take a break and talk about how a 62 year old Spaniard delivered a performance with more energy and passion than three quarter of actual Hollywood ever could for a children’s animated movie. This guy is a fucking legend
Definitely
I mean, we are talking about Antonio Banderas here.
Man puts his heart and soul into any film he's in, lol.
And Puss is definitely one of his best roles of all time.
HE'S 62???
I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST PERMANENTLY IN HIS EARLY 30'S
@@animaticfanatic7516 62 is twice 30. With a 2 at the end, to signify how it's twice 30.
So in my numerically inane line of logic, you're correct.
i'm not surprised, the character was tailor made for him, it is basically the only way he have to play el zorro after all this years, a definitively must watch too
Fun fact: I saw it in spanish and it has a whole versión, not only every text Is changed to spanish, stuff like the things he draws in the ground or the tomb are changed to go with the spanish versión, example: the P in the tomb it's changed to G for gato which it's cat in spanish.

Many people said it is highly unlikely that Dreamworks could make a movie THAT good tackling very serious issues. I had to remind them: This is the same studio that made Kung Fu Panda 2 and Prince of Egypt.
I mean yes but thats not a valid argument. Both of these films are from different eras and thy re good for different reasons. DW wanted to impress with Prince of Egypt while the Kung Fu Panda directors wanted to go darker (along with del toro's approval)
@@mrdoggo3569 both can be true. Those movies are from a different era of dreamworks and had different teams working on them, but dreamworks as a whole has maintained consistency with themes in different movies before so it’s not hard to believe they can do it again
Huh. Both movies actually tackled themes of genocide and ethnic discrimination. Kinda daring for a studio.
@@noelwym123 especially since both films were made for kids
Finally, someone with true class who has seen and loved the masterpiece that is Prince of Egypt
the panic attack scene made me cry. When I saw it and immediately recognized the signs of Puss experiencing a panic attack, the waterworks started straight away. It was the first time I did in a cinema. Making such a beloved childhood comfort character represent anxiety in such an INCREDIBLE (and somewhat innocent) WAY was the emotional release I needed.
Fellow panic disorder haver here. I’m so happy to read this comment ❤
It really was a emotional, moving, and beautiful scene. I haven't experienced panic attacks, but I know people who have. Watching that scene made me eyes water.
I basically cried too haha. I used to struggle HEAVILY with spontaneous panic attacks and the way they portrayed them in this scene really struck a chord with me. The rapid heartbeat, the lack of oxygen, the blurry vision, etc... And then the relief. I would've balled my eyes out if it were just me in the cinema lmao.
i bet that was what the mcu thought they were doing with iron man
that scene almost broke me, fuck, it was... amazing.
Once you realize who the wolf is, that line in the beginning of the movie just hits way harder.
"Everyone thinks they will be the one to defeat me, but no one has escaped me yet."
He’s the grim reaper isn’t he?
@@roquesolorio8842 yep, even more so, hes death itself, and i don't mean that metaphorically or rhetorically or theoretically or poetically or any other fancy way, nope, just straight up death
@@tzeentchmundi44 good touch too that they didn't go with the overplayed skull representation, but instead cleverly associated him to the wolf, as many Pagan rooted religious beliefs associates wolf to death. On many fairy tails, wolf is actually a metaphor of Danger, malice, and Death too.
@@bryanmerel there was one moment they did the skull representation for him, but it was INCREDIBLY subtle, it was during the 3rd time he appeared, when he whistled during the brawl between everyone, then puss ran off and had his panic attack, when puss looked over at him, the area he was standing in with the rocks and trees were shaped like a cartoon skull.
the thing is, i just realized by watching these review videos that death having physical appearance make so much sense since everyone is a fairy tale characters.
They casually showed the best representation of anxiety in a movie and didn’t think we would notice 💀
Yes!! The panic attacks got me so hard, I felt sm there. Loved the comfort of Peritto as well 🥺💗
Tiktok ahh comment 💀
fr fr
“Anxiety” he’s literally running from his impending doom he’s not upset bc his mom told him to do his homework💀
@Logan Patriquin Learn the definition of actual anxiety. Come back to me when you actually know the meaning of anxiety dumbªss.
I think the part that solidified this movie as good for me was immediately following Puss’s panic attack when he was talking to Perro and Kitty overheard part of it. In most other movies we would see Kitty miss out on part of the conversation and misinterpret the meaning about what they are talking about. But that isn’t what they gave us. They did have her miss an important bit of the conversation yes but what she did hear wasn’t misinterpreted. It showed her that Puss was different and genuinely regretted his past actions. She then used that information to be her better self. I love this movie
OMG I KNOW RIGHT. I was so ready for it to be uncomfortable and Puss fumbles the apology repeatedly and she keeps pushing him on it because she knows he regrets it and she wants to watch him squirm. But instead he just does it. He listens to Perrito and after one jab about their wedding he apologises wholeheartedly even though he doesnt know what to say.
@@mudawott Its so refreshing to se characters being honest to each other about how they are feeling
Also the scene where Goldie spit it out wy she's after the star: in any other instance, the Bears would've left her alone against Puss, Kitty and Jack, doing a "grand entrance" at the moment of need to save her, using the "we are a family" as some cool, one line entrance. Instead they used that motivation in the most hearth warming, simple and effective way... "we are a family, even if you don't recognize, so we're going to make you happy and keep helping you get the wish". I LOVE IT.
I also really enjoyed that. It happened several times where I was thinking oh great here comes the trope. And guess what it didn’t come! The conflict at the end felt realistic. Also a favorite part of mine and many others was in that scene were Perrito was helping puss and he didn’t say shit about being a therapy dog. He just did what he thought he should do. It’s nice when a movie respects its audience and that it doesn’t need to beat you over the head with the plot points.
YES THO. Also in the cave of lost souls, where usually the hero in Puss's place would quickly lose themselves to the old glory days--but instead Puss realizes just how lonely he really was and how that effected those he cared about on top of it. He only gets side tracked and guns for the star because literal death pops in on him
It really is a PERFECT sequel. Shrek had one, it's only natural for Puss to keep that streak going
Let's wait for the 3rd one to suck and then the 4th one to be amazing but no one will see it until 8 years later.
I saw Shrek 4 during its heyday, and I loved it.
@@gasterthemaster6490 Shrek 4 is ok but still not as good as the first two

They handled his anxiety SO WELL. Especially focusing on death anxiety, As someone who struggles with it. when they showed him have an anxiety attack it was so well done.
DUDE FOR REAL
I felt some real emotions for Puss in this movie, he was portrayed so well and his struggles felt so real. That one scene you mentioned was just gut wrenching but also I loved it
And Perrito was not just an annoying comic relief character but also turned out to be very useful and helpful!
When the two formed a bond it did not feel a bit forced, I believed it
That whole anxiety thing made think “I’m just like him fr fr 😔”.
I’ve always had a weak spot for animated shows and movies giving its audience an accurate portrayal of anxiety. This movie was no different, if not, more so. We see Puss, a confident, arrogant cat, actually hold a realistic amount of FEAR. I was almost moved to tears.
The way our entire theater got quiet during the anxiety attack scene
@@It_Is_Oylenox my theater did too 🥺
pusses anxiety attack scene was absolutely amazing. Seeing this animated cat on the ground breathing heavily, it made my heart twist. I cannot stress enough how much EVERYONE needs to see this movie. In my opinion this is the best movie of 2022 and maybe even 2023.
Agreed
Agreed
Jack Horner really surprised me. He wasn’t in any of the trailers I watched so I didn’t expect much and loved him. With all these characters growing and changing, having an unapologetic static asshole was amazing. And god he was really funny. He and death are honestly two of my new favorite dreamworld villains
The fact he was such a nasty soul that even his conscience ditched him and gleefully ensured Jack’s demise is the type of villain I wish we had more of in media now a days. A few grey characters here and there are good, but having a pure evil character to bounce them off on makes for excellent viewing 👍
*spoilers* "I shouldn't have telegraphed that" made me bust out laughing in the theater
And he's voiced by fucking John Mulaney. What an incredible performance, he really needs to do more voice acting work because he brought so much character to the role.
Also his Mary Poppin's bag filled with magic items and relics he's obtained and stolen over the years.
@@thuranz2773 the moment I saw that nanny bag and the floating umbrella cut away I knew the fights would be hilarious 😂
I love how they didn't plot armor Puss, he straight up just turned tail and RAN FOR HIS LIFE.
And the wolf let him go because the more Puss feared death, the more just Death felt in taking his life as his motivation was Puss was taking advantage of his lives...then wants to wish for 9 more because he wasted the other ones? Oh hell no. lol
Heres the real reason, but i do like yours as well :)
Death was after puss in this life to take him early, because cats have 9 lives.. which ticks off death. Nothing too much right? But its the fact that puss doesnt value his lives which angers death and feels like hes tormenting him. So he begins his chase, “trying to kill” puss in boots. But what was really happening be was instilling fear into puss, which ultimately leads to him valuing his life.
To quote Death “I came here looking for an arrogant little legend…” that he wanted to kill. And he did. Without killing anything physical. So his goals were met, and now puss can live his life with full value, awaiting deaths much less violent return
He's either getting more and more creative with those intros or just progressively going insane.

I nearly cried at that scene. So good

Whereas I felt that moment was predicable and typical. Honestly rolled my eyes at it.
It's times like this where I am reminded what animation is truly capable of. Disney can keep pushing out generically animated, money grubbing, OK movies, but it's studios like Sony and Dreamworks who are now picking up the slack and delivering brilliantly animated masterpieces that will stand the test of time. I think our time is truly a new renaissance for animation.
I agree!
Honestly, what would happen if Sony and DreamWorks collide together to give us all a true fucking perfect movie. That'll show the world even underdogs can be on top
Dreamworks makes 1 good movie every 10 years. Disney makes multiple every year

*SPOILER*
The part of the movie that absolutely won me over, that completely upended literal decades of Dreamworks slapstick comedy ruining heartfelt moments was after Puss escaped his second encounter with Death. He ran and hid in the dying forest of his own imagination, and Perrito found him in the middle of a powerful anxiety attack, the sound of Puss’s racing heartbeat pounding through the theater speakers. Earlier in the movie it was foreshadowed that if Puss needed to feel better, he’d just need to rub Perrito’s belly. It was lighthearted and comedic for that scene, illustrating Perrito’s undying optimism. But it would’ve been so out of place here. I thought ‘oh boy, here it is, the slapstick shenanigans that completely ruin the gravity of a situation. He’s gonna whip out his swollen belly and smother Puss with it, Madagascar 3 style’. BUT NO. I wasn’t prepared for what happened next. What Perrito did was the most profound and heartwarming thing I’ve seen in animation in years. With concern and confusion in his eyes, but desperate to help his friend, he got close to Puss… and laid his head on Puss’s lap. The heartbeat slowed, then calmed and quieted down.
This shook me. My eyes watered up and I silently cried. It was a moment that transcended cinema and found a way into the deepest most personal parts of my life. I too have a pup, and I too have found myself in a graveyard of my own imagination, ridden with anxiety, unable to move. And my pup was there to do *the exact same thing*. This here, this scene RIGHT HERE, sealed the deal. There would be no hijinks or tomfoolery. Even after the stunning fight scenes and amazing character designs, this here let me know I was in the middle of a masterpiece.
This movie had no business treading these waters. But it does it so masterfully, and should be unceasingly praised for having the guts to do so. 10/10
This is the best comment I've read so far concerning the movie. That scene was the moment I knew that this movie was something special. Not a cash grab, not an agenda, not filler, but art. True...art. How could an animated movie about talking cats marketed for kids be this mature and emotionally powerful? I fully believe that the people behind this movie put their heart and soul into it, and you can just feel it oozing out of every frame, and every second.
I've had experiences with panic attacks during my youth, and they are not fun. After my first experience with one, I didn't have the words to describe to my family what I had experienced because it was just too intense and too alien for me to put into words. And somehow, an animated movie about talking cats managed to perfectly capture and convey that experience more than anything I've ever seen in my life...and that's powerful to me. To know that these people behind the movie get what I went through and to show it in such detail in a family movie was unbelievable and amazing. I love this movie with all my heart for that, and I hope more people see it.
@@andrewblissett2211 I Love ur Comment. 😊
I Love ur Comment. 😊
That swollen belly gag was cringe, easily the worst part of the movie. In general there were so many places where I was like "uh oh, they better not go the cringey cliched children's movie path", but they didn't!
Me reading this through tear filled eyes: nice :')
Honestly the Wolf's whistle absolutely gave me goosebumps, it was slightly discordant and haunting, and I was trying to catch a tune that was *nearly* there but just wasn't. It was a great way to introduce a character as frightening as death, and the character itself was also amazing.
I instantly got western movie feelings, and I was not wrong, as the director said that this tune was inspired from "Once Upon A Time In The West".
The whistling itself is also a reference to The Silbon, a Latin American ghost story/ myth about a vengeful spirit that can be identified by it’s whistling.
The Wolf (or Death) was my favorite part of this film. The way he is introduced by his whistle and his dark dark aura and color scheme, to his very sarcastic way, yet terrifying way, of saying to Puss *"I am going to take your own life because you don't value yours"* is done exceptionally well. He is definitely one of my favorite DreamWork villains of all time. Literally, every time he was shown on screen I got goosebumps just like Puss, and the way they made him feel Fear and how that it can also fear us humans is just amazing.
The other characters were amazing as well but The Wolf (Death) is the one character that makes this movie so interesting, deep, dark, and meaningful.
I wouldn't call him a villain per say I mean antagonistic yeah but at the end of the day he was just Death. Scary and intimidating sure but I don't really think he was all that evil honestly. That's just my opinion though.
@@bewareking6458 You have a point, but he was Puss's villain for a while, until the very end when he was not because he started to value his life (only his last just like we only have one). In the end, The Wolf (Death) is more like an Anti-Hero, but he can be someone's villain too. A person like Big Jack Horner could have The Wolf as his villain since he is really The Villain I guess you could say since he was the only one who wanted something selfish, not to mention his lack for life in general except himself.
Gosh, there is so much to this movie that the more I think about it, it's so excellent in so many ways. Truly, this movie will go down as one of the classics Dreamworks ever made.
@@JosephFur Fair enough,but yeah this movie was really enjoyable. The animation and colors just really worked and I'm glad I watched it
The Wolf was more of an antagonist. However, I see your point.
I have to agree. I got chills during the whistling parts.

Had the exact same experience today at my local theater. Me, my brother and two of our cousins went in at 8:30 P.M. and not a single other person was in the theater. We need to get the word out and support great animated flicks like this.
Same it was just me and my cousins and maybe like 5 other people
Dreamworks just handed Disney their beer to hold. A sequel to a spinoff of a sequel is, by far, the best animated film of the year, maybe of the last 5, and one of the best Dreamworks has ever done. I hope they keep the momentum and creativity going.
I didn't pay to see either movie of Puss In Boots

death is so well-designed; the way his pupils constrict into tiny pinpricks, with puss reflecting in his red irises, gave me fucking goosebumps dude. and the way the tune he whistles goes from haunting and bone-chilling to familiar and even comforting by the end of the movie, once the conflict is resolved,, beautiful. love this fucking movie so much.
😭😭😭
Truly only megaminded people at DreamWorks
They made him so terrifying and I love that
TRUE
Spoilers for the movie
I honestly wanna point out how throughout the movie before puss matures he always says “I laugh in the face of death” which at the start he did but at the end when he overcomes death in the duel, He doesn’t laugh, He’s matured to respect death , this is also why death leaves, because now fully respects life
10/10 movie
Death was soooo well done! I haven't seen animated psycho eyes so intimidating since Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. And my goodness, that whistle
Yassssss he was so amazing, I was LITERALLY leaning forward at the edge of my seat in some of his scenes, I couldn't look away. The way he moves, the design, the animation, and the sppoky whistle grrrrr aaaaaggghh bbbnnnn wjjwjjs just woaah
@@aiiiia9971 Chef’s kiss all around
I was literaly clenching my sisters’ hands while watching his scenes sometimes😭
Death perfectly resembles how a lot of people think about death and feels about it
Your last chance, your fear, your villain or anti hero or hero right there doing what it’s gonna do to you
Honestly, Death and Shen are my top 2 favourite Dreamworks villains. It was refreshing to see an actual intimidating villain rather than a cheap plot-twist one that Disney seems to be favouring...
My absolute favorite thing about this movie is when Puss gets touched by Death’s blade during their first encounter, all of Puss’ lives flash before his eyes, but when Puss is in trouble with Death at the end of the movie, only this one life flashed before his eyes. It’s such a beautiful thing to see and it really makes the story come full circle

The thing about puss in boots that caught my eye was its animation style. As Disney sits around and pumps one animated film after another that looks like an Encanto reboot, Puss in boots has a unique animation style that looks like a mashup of classic 2d animation and 3d animation, kind of like Spider Man: into the Spiderverse. I love this kind of animation because it brings the modernity, functionality, and smoothness of modern animation along with giving the animators a chance to express their own unique art style with character design, backgrounds, and more. I genuinely love this move, definently recommend!
That’s something I noticed when I saw the few ads for Strange World. My very first thought was, “This looks just like encanto.”
The Spider Verse movie has really changed animation for the better, nice to see more films not following the generic Pixar look that has been trending for the past 20 years.
I don't think "Encanto reboot" really fits here, as Encanto was not the first movie with that idealized and inoffensive style. The first that comes to mind is Tangled, but I'm fairly sure it's older than that, too... though maybe that's on the Pixar side?
But yes, I agree. Other studios are branching out with unique animation, while it seems that for once Disney is lagging behind, too obsessed with their live-action remakes to try something new. I doubt Disney will die off anytime soon, but if they refuse to change then there's a chance that someone new will take their place as the biggest and best animation studio.
@@oranplan1630 I feel like Tangled style really suited the movie and especially for the time it was impressive but Disney has been playing it way too safe with their style. At least Pixar has been doing a variety of character designs with Soul, Luca, Turning Red, etc. strange world could’ve been cool if they really committed to the pulp scifi comic style
@@oranplan1630 Facts. Then with the explosive success of Frozen, it cemented that style as the only style Disney would ever do again just to ride its own coattails of success for as long as financially possible. Hence the dragon in Raya just being Elsa's fursona. Sadly the style was set as the standard for 3D, every one else copying the style since it's been proven to sell and executives liked that.
But they seem to be loosening their iron grip on Pixar to let them experiment on slight variations of the Frozen Style the last 2 years, though.
Then with Strange World all they did was a slightly different style of editing/motion and the male's eye style (all the female characters are still Frozen/Encanto looking while male characters look like they're from Turning Red...), the essence of the generic, inoffensive, safe style was still there though.
Everything rounded, smooth, soft, clean. Even metal. How do they make rust and concrete/stone look clean and soft?? Clothes designed simply as if they were to be animated in 2d then look bland and empty in 3d, lacking even wrinkles and imperfections. Faces stretch but barley scrunch or make any unappealing smear frames between expressions/movement. Squeaky clean from top to bottom, inside and out. Same for the environments. Evem swampy areas have no bugs, no where has any life aside from showing a weird animal for a single establishing shot, never to be seen again.
Puss in Boots is SUCH a welcome change. Finally. Rocks look rough, things can be sharp, expressive exaggerated movement, expressions that hold so much, environments that are full and messy! _A new style!!!_ ANIMATION and all it can do!!!!!
It’s a testament to how bulletproof the Shrek franchise is. The way they twist fairy tales into something different and how it joins SpongeBob with the meme pop culture makes it incredible
Thanks to the success of Shrek, Animation in America has been creatively handicapped. Endless sequels, lack of new ideas and animations styles. Shrek is also Post Modernist in its artform, meaning instead of crafting new architypes, it derives its meaning from tearing existing ones down. Reference humour and meme pop culture is funny, but in 20 years it will date worse than its contemporaries of the time like Atlantis, Dinosaur, and especially The Prince of Egypt.
It's easy to build stories based on critically undermining what makes stories an artform or convey a meaningful message, but when the whole industry follows that example, the talent pool gets smaller and eventually business people just copy and past their products and the public eat it up because they've been primed to by meme culture. Illuminations producing Despicable Me and Minions is a prime example of this. Furthermore, it shouldn't take Sony 5 ice Age films to eventually produce something like Into the Spiderverse. Very few studios and directors are putting in the time to create something new which in terms evolves the craft of filmmaking. Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Guellimo Del Toro, etc.
This is also why films like Avatar are panned for alledgly being 'derivative', 'Pocahontas in space', military bad/ natives good', and 'White Saviour complex', because Avatar is not trying to deconstruct architypes and fairytales like all Post Modernist films do. Avatar is very genuine in its storytelling and message, because it's Modernist in its purpose. However, today's audience is Post-modernist and judges films as products of corporations, not projects of passionate filmmakers. Had Star Wars been first release in the late 2000's, it would've been successful like Avatar, but panned for being derivative of Hidden Fortress, Dune, and cultural appropriation of Taoist philosophy. Just look at how overly critical people are of Star Wars today. It's all become trash culture.
@@corneliusmaze-eye2459
You can still be genuine and create new shit and deliver profound messages and be completely serious even while deconstructing archetypes and tropes for fun. Heck, people actually like it when you re-construct them now, either unapologetically or with a small ritual self-acknowledgement dance. You don't necessarily have to undermine anything anymore, you can opt to reaffirm and cherish in a slightly coy and more mature way instead, and some smart creators made use of it, hence the "metamodern" and "post-irony" talk all over the Internet.
What you can't do, however, is to do things in a blunt modernist way, because at this point it's just rehashed and _lazy_ , and all the critical panning you incur for this is thusly completely deserved. It's kinda unfair to blame postmodernism in general or Shrek in particular for greedily careful corporate approach. Postmodernist form does not and should not automatically warrant creative sterility and shallowness. Parasitic as it may be, in the end it's a form in its own right, just a slighly more complex shape, which can be much more than a funny false mirror.
Now we've got plenty of examples of animation that tried to fill this form with something beside shallow mockery and won. Gravity Falls. Bojack. Arcane. Rick and Morty walks a dangerous line, but ultimately is genuine. And that's just off the top of my head.
@@AthenaTennosN I think what makes Shrek shine where its imitators don't is i's sincerity, which is often overlooked for its parody/homage. Shrek etc take place in a world where fairy tales are silly and gross and comedic yet they each tell a real story within that world. So what if Puss in Boots is a Zorro expy fighting against a Goldilocks and nursery rhyme crime boss? Here's the story of how they confront their mortality and selfishness and either find the love around them or fall. The world is a joke but the story isn't. So, we actually get invested.
@@pippastrelle that was my point, really. Storytelling ain't math, joke plus joke doesn't always mean twice as much lighthearted laughter. Jurassic Bark, if that rings a bell, is one of my favorite examples of this. The episode is 99% gags and the characters are caricatures, arguably more than in any other episode of Futurama, yet no one's laughing by the end of it.
@@corneliusmaze-eye2459 LOL Star Wars and Avatar ARE both derivative and bad. How can your fist paragraph be so on-point the rest so completely off.

Never have or wanted to watch the first one, but this new one gave me motivation to just, watch the shrek franchise all over again.
Please do. It gives Puss character so much justice and beyond. 🥹 🧡
Man, this movie came into my life right when I needed it, I just saw it today after yesterday I had a breakdown because the uncertainty of the future was too much for me, I didn't even know what to do with my life, the fear of death of those close to me that are maybe a bit old was dominating me. This truly made me feel a bit better
Watching Perrito snuggle up next to Puss while he was laying there helplessly trembling with his heart racing made me cry so badly in the theater.
I'm not even joking. Perrito is my favorite character in this film, and I kind of thought he was going to be my least favorite. It's the Brett Hand effect. He was so nice and clingy, you think he's gonna be annoying, but then you find out their backstory and man I'm myself teary eyed again. Why do I relate so damn much to nice people?? Why can't I relate to jerks 🤦
EVEN THE SCENE WHERE PERRITO STARTS SWEARING. HE GETS KIDNAPPED AND HE AND THE CAPTURES BECOME BEST FRIENDS THROUGH VULGARITY THAT'S THE SWEETEST THING EVER 🤧
Same! I thought I would hate the dog, I usually do hate the comedic sidekick, but he's so genuinely kind and doesn't constantly cause problems in the name of his kindness that so many other sidekicks like him do so I actually wasn't frustrated at him the entire time, so he was actually intertwining and cute! I didn't expect to love the character but did. _Just_ like Brett Hand.
Directors take note: THIS. THIS is how you do it. Perrito is a perfect example of how you subvert expectations to the *benefit* of your story.
That's a perfect way to describe it! Perrito is very similar to Brett and I appreciate characters like this so when they're done right. They genuinely good people that inspire and help those around them to be better.
In the first scene in the retirement home he was a bit annoying and I didn't think he would be any good, but then he did well and was even pretty nice sometimes.

The fact that is a tease at a possible new Shrek movie, but even more so that them sailing away to Far Far Away actually fits narratively into the movie. Instead of them probably randomly showing up in whatever Shrek movie they do next, they actually wrote a reason for them to be back there.

My mother hated this movie to the point I doubted my own love for it. To me, it was magical. The animation, the voice performances, the heart. The portrayals of trust issues and anxiety attacks struck a chord in me as someone with those issues myself.

The style, the animation, comedy yet balanced with serious emotional topics, the message, the way this movie depicts death IT'S JUST SO GOOD. I have no regrets spending my allowance on this movie.
Big facts Bro!👍🔥
Nice! Did your friends like it?
Honestly this movie actually made cry
His life flashing before his eyes, and once he got cut and realized that could literally be your last moment hits hard for anyone
Some of us will face some kind of flashing before your eyes moment or realizing this could be the end moment
And I think this movie perfectly shows us that it’s scary but you can still live 😊
As a fan of lifelong Dreamworks fan I'm so glad that the studio is experiencing a Renaissance with two bangers in a row after years of Trolls and Boss Baby. Let's hope they keep up that momentum!
maybe if they ditch these two franchises, everything is perfect
Fellow DreamWorks fan who actually likes Trolls and Boss Baby. Definitely don’t rate them higher than some of their other movies, but I think they still have heart in them and their popularity does bring in funding the company can use on other projects. No way would a studio go through a whole process of making animated scrap book sequences if they didn’t care what they were creating, along with the great hair and ‘felty’ texturing animation.
Boss Baby is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know people don’t like it, but there’s a certain charm that has me quite invested in the series. Probably helps that I saw the movie with a friend and had such a blast watching it with them.
I had goosebumps too because of the emotion the connecting and the colours this movie brings
"Colours"🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

7:12 FINALLY! THANK YOUUU!! Every review I’ve seen either doesn’t talk about Jack or speaks negatively about him. John Mulaney’s performance as Jack Horner is so underrated and he deserves more praise. I love John Mulaney and he knocked it out of the park with this one
He is a comedic relief character as an atagonist which is very refreshing after either having no antagonist or having one that is a twist villain
@@aruce9 ye
I saw one said that they didnt feel like John Mulaney fit the character and I was just >:/
I think if people think that, it's just cause they just kept hearing John Mulaney the person, meanwhile I didnt even know who voiced Jack but I remember while watching I thought about the voice and how it fit and that I liked it. The voice and voice acting is just great
@@klltsun_2576 I didn't know much of anything about the movie and went in as blind as possible. I didn't even realize it was John Mulaney until the end credits, when I thought, "Duh, of course it was!" I think it attests to how well the performance fits the character and the movie that I wasn't thinking about the people behind the characters while I was watching.
I realized it waz john mulaney voicing Jack about halfway through the movie and thought it made perfect sense. He has that 'childish but evil' voice nailed down. Perfect for a grown-up version of a child character. Plus he's very animated and, obviously, comedically talented. I really can't see any downsides here.
"There is a purpose to every moment, every frame of this movie." You can not be anymore right about that! Every scene in this movie felt significant. There weren't any characters or storybeats to me that felt like they were underdeveloped or overstayed their welcome, which is very rare in most movies. Everything about this movie was just exceptional, and I can't wait to rewatch it as soon as possible!
I was very amazed that Death didn’t have any comedic personality and they managed to make his character very serious and terrifying. Dreamworks knows how to make a perfectly designed villain, especially the Big Bad Wolf. It’s safe to say the sequel exceeded my expectations and it is better than the first one by a long shot.
For me personally, I can’t put this movie, or Shrek 2 above one another. They both came out at such memorable points of my life that they affected me very differently. This movie tackles some more mature themes then Shrek 2 that now I as an adult can relate to. They are both masterpieces in their own right, and deserve to be praised as much as the other. Can’t wait for Shrek 5!
Shrek 1/2 are great, but they're just cool action/slapstick comedy movies, while pib2 is a true masterpiece with depth
@@BoraHorzaGobuchul Gotta respect the classics. But I couldn’t agree more bro
watched this movie today, so colorful and vibrant and THE WOLF WAS SO COOL! great review as always, hearing u obsess over and hype it up is awesome
Please, do a review on this movie yourself.
Please spread the word-of-mouth to get people to watch this amazing movie!
Plus, I would actually love to hear your opinion on the movie.
@@mrgroovy5113 i plan on it :D working on another video at the moment and dont wanna do anything else until i finish it and make it as good as possible haha
@@Awesomemay No worries. Btw love your videos!
One thing that's quite interesting is that the big bad wolf being revealed as death is kind of a twist but in the sense that it develops the villain instead of being a shock factor. Kind of like the king candy twist in some ways
This is, hands down, the tightest scrips I've seen in a cinema in ages. No wasted second, no useless interaction, juggling 3 sets of characters effortlessly - this is masterwork of storytelling.
Dreamworks either makes:
1. The most horrible, vomit inducing, annoying and widespread movies ever
Or
2. The most beautiful, heartfelt, stories with beautiful animation that squeezes tears from everyone
👍🏻
Dreamsworks isn't that hit and miss, man
@@Orange_Swirl Description feels more like Sony Animations than Dreamworks
Honestly, I haven't heard of a truly BAD movie from DreamWorks other than Sharktales. And I guess Boss Baby idk I never watched it
It's totally subjective, but imo the bad ones are: the entire Madagascar series, Bee Movie, Shrek 3 and 4, Monsters vs. Aliens, Kung Fu Panda 3, HTTYD 3, Trolls. I dunno if they're "truly bad" but they're not enjoyable watches.
While it lacks the emotional depth of Shrek 2, I truly believe that Puss in Boots' sequel is the best thing to come out from the big green ogre’s entire franchise since its 2004 sequel. On top of that, 2022, in financial terms, might be DreamWorks Animation’s biggest year of dethroning Disney’s Strange World and Pixar’s Lightyear with this, along with The Bad Guys. Here’s to the cat being nominated a second time at the Academy Awards after 11 years.
I forgot strange world existed and I only remember lightyear because my cousin loves that movie
I mean I like Shrek 2, but I would say Forever After is just as if not better than 2.
Na it definitely is equal in feels for me. I was actually scared for puss in some parts.
I hope Puss wins the award
@@ZorrotheArtist That movie is very subjective. A lot of people kinda missed the old characters while watching. Like seeing puss in boots not be very Puss in boots is kinda sad lol.
at first i thought the dog and the bear family were some side characters to make unfuny jokes but oh boy i was wrong . they literally made me cry from how rich were their story!
i almost cried bc of how much i LOVED THE ANIMATION and everything in this when i watched it, very disappointed to see how many empty seats there were in the theatre i was in but this has become one of my, if not my most favourite animated movie ive watched so far!
just saw the movie in cinema a few hours ago, and I am obsessed. I've already watched so many reviews to see what other thinks, but this video is the only one that describes the same thing I'm feeling. This movie has hit me on such a deep level and it deserves so much. Thank you.
It hit personal for me too. This was undoubtedly a masterpiece.
I think it is flopping in USA due to the snow at the moment but I am from Mexico and the theater was full even just a few days ago.
Which is a rare sight to see because usually movies stop receiving lots of costumers around two weeks into the release of a movie.
Hopefully other countries can make this movie successful!
Just saw it Saturday, theater was packed
@@patrickripleyiii134it could flop in U.K. and Republic of Ireland because of its late release date, it’s gets released 3rd of February 2023 in both nations.
I love this movie so much, it's so rare for me to be invested in shows and movies but for this, oh my god it was amazing. The Goldilocks plot was actually so much more emotional and interesting than I thought it would be. I like how not everyone isn't redeemed (ifykyk) and the artstyle is just so pleasing I want to eat it off the screen. I absolutely love how much more mature it was than I expected too. Everything just exceeded expectations to be honest. The plot wasnt as predictable as I thought it was going to be and that's just a huge plus
I agree with this comment so much, Goldilocks had my heart jajdkkdknd and yeah the way they handle mature themes but still know how to deliver it so it's ok for kids and it is so fun and creative and just this is so good
I really love Puss' characterization and development in this movie. He is a fearless and brave individual and he found identity in that. But in most ways, he took it for granted. He lived a life where his 9 lives were disposable, where there was no true value in them, until his final one.
So, when the doctor confronted him on the reality of the situation, he hated it. Mocked it even. He's the fearless Puss in boots after all. What would his life be if he wasn't living in danger? But only when confronted by a bounty hunter coming after his life, and being completely overwhelmed in battle, where he truly realizes the reality and value of his 1 singular life.
And this part of the movie gave me literal chills. The animation and visual team did an amazing job showing Puss' despair, with his hair standing up as it slowly reaches to his face, and how he was willing to go through a toilet to save himself. The lengths he was willing to take to live is so reflective of what humans would do to live, sometimes even doing morally evil things too.
He wasn't fearless, he was full of fear. He wasn't Puss in Boots, he was a scaredy cat.
Puss has a traumatic experience from that throughout the entire movie, with the wolf's signature whistle being a huge trigger for him, and it's such a menacing way of introducing him into the scene too.
Speaking of the wolf, he's such a menacing and terrifying antagonist. His presence and character design are great, but what makes him so scary is his visual portrayal mixed with the voice acting. The movie wasn't afraid to not cater to kids and to not be limited by that. Which is a problem I have with some films, where mature themes aren't done to the fullest potential due to limitations. The way he effortlessly dodges Puss' attacks and instills fear into him is so memorable and impactful.
Puss being haunted by the fear of death is something we need to take into consideration too in our lives. People love to live in the present, but also don't see the biggest problem of death right in front of us. We rather not think about it because it's such a scary reality. So, when life hits us, we're like Puss facing the reality of death for the first time. We're vulnerable and afraid. And not everyone tells people about how they're feeling. Some people keep it to themselves, which is what Puss did throughout the movie till he shows vulnerability and expresses his fears to Perro the dog.
Even the most powerful people will still succumb to the fear of death when reality hits them.
Goldilocks and the 3 bears were also amazing characters, where she was seeking for the wishing star because she doesn't have an ordinary family. By "just right", she wanted and craved for a human family. She used her foster family as steppingstones to reach her goal of replacing them, which is so tragic because she faces an issue of envy. When a person is clouded with envy, they aren't grateful for what they have, and would do what they can to obtain what they don't have.
I also love the build up to the eventual reveal of her wish. Her appreciating the simpler times with the bears in their house was so heart-warming. It's the small things that often go unappreciated, like how she would hold this fairy tale book as a child wherever she would go, sleeping on comfy bed, drinking soup with her foster family, and so on. Sometimes, you just have to stop and take a look around you. You have a house to live that house's memories. You have food and water. You have transport to go to different places. You have photos with your families and friends that you can reminisce. You can even go beyond that and just admire the complexities of the world. How trees give you shade when it's a sunny day, or how the sky has a pleasing and calming colour, and even animals and how unique they all are.
There are a lot more aspects that I really love about this movie but I'll stop right here. I definitely recommend watching it. Not only is it narratively nuanced, but the pacing of the movie is also good. Cinematography and choreography of the fights are so well done too, which is one benefit of the movie being 2.5D.
The whistle death does brought chills everytime I heard it. Which is insane for a kids movie to do. A very well done villian
I loved the wolf, he was eerie and an actually scary villain. Like every time he whistled I got chills and I swear I heard him behind me as we got up after the movie. Love the wolf character
Spoiler alert:
Edit: also I love how the wolf character broke the crystals of his past lives in that one scene
I just loved how good they were to express the emotions, the fear the panic the bonding, the melancholy ,everything was so good, I cried the whole movie because of how good everything was
Watching this film made me feel like a kid again and probably the strongest range of emotional reactions I've ever felt watching a film.
DreamWorks proved they're still capable of making both fantastic original movies and sequels alike :)
Can't wait for Shrek 5. To see the trio of Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots back together again. Then see Kitty Softpaws interact with the other characters of the Shrek franchise.
Namely Fiona and Dragon. Being honest when I first heard about this movie. I thought it was going to be another prequel that lead to how Puss in Boots met Shrek and Donkey.
But I'm very happy with direction they took.
Shrek 4 was the last one
Cant wait to get wooshed
I'm not sure fans are ready for a change of Style from Shrek tho
"A prequel of how Puss met Shrek and Donkey"
That... that's called Shrek 2...
I like how the last few masterpieces of film have been incredibly stylized animated movies. Puss in Boots, Spiderverse, How To Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda are all so visually distinct and regarded as great movies (I'm sure there are more, but they aren't coming to mind)
I honestly can't recall the last time my heart was beating as fast in a movie theater than it did during the scenes with death in this movie. I absolutely LOVED the animation of this movie. It really makes me happy to see more animated movies strive to use that same kind of flare that Spider-Verse had, and take a more artistic and stylistic approach rather than go for something hyper-realistic. I really enjoyed the theme of facing one's mortality and found myself actually caring about each of the characters. This film has genuinely made me excited to see what's in store for upcoming Shrek movies and I can't wait to see other animated movies that really embrace their medium like this.
I’m loving this new animation art style that Dreamworks has been using lately. First with The Bad Guys and now with Puss in Boots 2. I really hope Kung Fu Panda 4 has a similar style.
Me too
Having just watched the film, I can confirm this movie is a banger! I remember not really caring when this was announced, but the talk of the movie made me want to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. Really enjoyed the art style, and the villains were super enjoyable. Even the so-called weakest villain in Goldilocks and the three bears really captivated me with their crime gang humour and surprisingly deep backstory. Too much good stuff to say about it
That’s how good this movie is! Even Goldilocks who admittedly is the weakest part for me, is still super enjoyable and well written character. She just has the minor misfortune of being compared to Jack Horner and literal Death
At this point i don’t even know if nick is being sarcastic or not
I haven't known for a while now
I don't think it is this time
He wasn’t, this movie is extremely good
As someone who saw the movie he’s not it’s the second best movie of the year (everything everywhere all at once still takes it for me)
He isn't, I watched this movie last night and I also thought the same
these videos have gotten to the point where I legitimately can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, and I love it
Me too
He's not being sarcastic. I found myself raving like a lunatic too after watching it, telling my family, I LOVE this movie!
he’s not being sarcastic i literally watched the movie myself and it’s just beautiful the animation the storyline and everything it’s like puss in boots and the spider verse animation in one, i’m being serious when i say this, it’s the best animated movie i’ve seen this year
This is the first movie in literal years that I've been so invested in a movie, that I reached the end of the movie. And as the credits started to roll, i realized I still had half a bucket full of popcorn in the theater
this movie was a breath of fresh air definitely one of those movies i wish could last hourssss
this movie felt like it lasted 30 minutes 😭😭 me and my SO went to see it together after not seeing each other for over a week. I swear we didn’t look at eachother the whole time we were both so INVOLVED dude. prob my favorite animated movie of all time tbh
That’s what I felt too, it’s so entertaining it makes the movie feel short
The Death's whistles gave me goosebumps, such a well made character!
I saw the movie last night, and it was one of the best movies I’ve seen this year if not the best. There weren’t really any flaws that were noticeable enough to distract me from the experience, the characters felt so well animated and full of life, and the visuals were incredible.
The only thing I would change was how gross Perrito's belly looked in that one scene and the fact that's such a small and short issue shows how great the movie is
This movie is what dreamworks should be
This is literally the only movie I've ever gotten goosebumps from and it's all from different emotions
i’m so glad other people are acknowledging what a masterpiece this was ❤
True 🌺
I went with a friend to see this opening day, there was only a few people in the theater. We’re both pretty much college aged, and we both nearly cried throughout this movie. We left the theater near tears, feeling very hopeful. It felt like I was a kid again, and I can’t stop thinking about this movie
The amount of effort Antonio Banderas put into this project is insane. He had to record Fearless Hero in english and Spanish (Quién es tu héroe favorito) and dub the entire movie in English, Spanish, Latin Spanish and Italian. Who the fuck does that 🙀
Damn he voiced puss how many times in different languages?
I loved the first Puss in Boots film mostly because it played the fairy tale theme straight while still keeping the wacky and unusually intense stakes the mainline Shrek franchise is known for, and had really high hopes for this film because of that. I am so glad that the sequel actually does do more than the original and I will be seeing it soon
I watched the movie yesterday and I was afraid they wouldn't do Puss's character justice but I was so glad I was wrong. They give him justice and so much more beyond. 🥹🧡
Just asked my little brother if he wants to see this movie, I'm just double supporting it. We need good movies like this one
This movie goes so hard. It’s like a psychological horror movie disguised as a goofy cat movie and I will always love it forever ❤
This year has been really good for animation as a whole. And 2023 looks to be a better year. And it's getting to a point where Disney might be the weakest animation studio next year
if the Mario movie ends up being good in the eyes of the movie community, then Illumination is going through its redemption arc
@@lol-ih1tl With how well received Minions 2 was and the Mario movie looking like a passion project, Illumination is definitely going through it already. They also opened an animation studio that’ll focus on more mature animated movies and I hope it’s not like modern adult shows trying to be the next family guy and more like primal
This movie is beyond incredible. It does everything so well and it was the best movie of the year
Is it just me or the way they revealed puss leaving the alter was just sooo jaw dropping!
I thought at first they were referring to the first movie and didn't just get it 😂
Me and my family literally had the same reaction as Perro we literally had to pause for 5 mins to discuss what just happened
This movie is so dang good 10/10
I've seen it 7 times already. Truly a masterpiece!
Edit: I have seen the movie 20 times in theaters
I strive for this.
@@daviscoggin I'm watching it again right now
@@LordSaladBowl legend.
Do you know where to watch it besides theatres?
How? It’s only in the cinema
I legit got teary eyed watching you talk about this movie, I already loved Puss from the moment I saw him on screen in Shrek when I was a kid but just hearing you gush about the movie made me so happy. I already had high hopes for the movie just cause I love the character and the first movie was good but man. Now I wanna even more than before, great video and I will now most definitely see enjoy the hell out this movie.
I've never seen a ptsd induced panic attack dealt with by a film so well, and to resolve it with quiet understanding from a friend? It's all I never knew I needed
I have been stuck in a wheel chair for the past 17 years of my life, and it has been very hard for me
Until this video made me stand up and run to the movie theater to go watch Puss in Boots.
Thank you, Nick.
I remember seeing the croods 2, and it was the most I've laughed at a movie in a long time. Definitely check it out
If Puss in Boots of all characters can get a sequel THIS phenomenal, then surely the Penguins can do the same thing!
Nick I love you man but you GOTTA remember to call the "Spider-Verse" style the "Alberto Mielgo" style. That artstyle has been his trademark for years, and he basically single-handedly created the look of Spider-Verse. Unfortunately he's become an unsung legend in the animation world because he has gone widley uncredited for that.
I got a chance to go see this film a whole month before the film launched nationwide during "Caturday". I knew from the very moment when the first big fight happened, to the big finale with Death that this was going to be something truly special, especially having watched it with such an engaged audience of families, kids and adults who grew up on these Dreamworks films who seemed to have loved it as much as I did. When I told my Discord friends about having seen it early, I immediately said the moment the credits rolled that they were in for a major treat come December. On par with Del Toro's Pinocchio as the best animated film I've seen this year.
