Puss In Boots

[eastofthemoon]

Stu and I went to see Puss in Boots and I can honestly say this movie was awesome. It absolutely stands on it's own and a person who had never seen the Shrek movies can totally enjoy it. The writers made sure to not put any references to Shrek or the gang at all in this movie, but everything we knew about Puss before this movie can still be considered canon (including the part he says about his "Mother" in Shrek 2, but I won't go into anymore details than that.)

I will say that the tone of this movie felt a lot more serious than Shrek movies, I would say it's on the level of How To Train Your Dragon if that makes any sense. I had wondered if having Puss as the main character would be too much, but his character was balanced really well with Humpty and Kitty. There were also quite a few cats jokes that were cute and quite enjoyable. I'm kind of hoping a short will be released with the DVD showing Kitty's interaction with Shrek and the gang because I would be curious to see their reactions to her.

Also, the animation in this was gorgeous. We didn't see the 3D version, but I can see how some of these sounds would be great to watch in 3D.

Overall, Puss in Boots is worth seeing. I would even say that if you didn't enjoy the Shrek movies, there's a good chance you would enjoy Puss in Boots more because of the more serious story. I'm totally getting this when it comes out on DVD

I really want to see this movie! I loved Puss in the Shrek movies and he looks like my kitties. Now I totally want a Puss plushie!

LOVED Puss in Boots. I think mom and I laughed the hardest at the cat related stuff due to owning cats.

And I think I read somewhere that this movie was set before the Shrek movies? I may be wrong though, I'm not sure.

The cat jokes were just hilarious. Stu and I were chuckling for awhile.

Yeah, the movie is suppose to be a prequel which does make me curious as to where Kitty is currently. I liked her character a lot. ^_^

'How DARE you do the litter box at me!!' rofl!

And the whole butt dragging thing. Yep, THAT looked familiar.

Me too. I want a Kitty Softpaws plush to go with my Puss one.

Really? I like Puss and I like Shrek, but to me, the trailers for Puss In Boots were eh.

I know that it's a prequel to the Shrek films before he meets Shrek and Donkey. :O

Can't wait to see it!

I was wondering about this movie. It piqued my interest. If only I had time. Well maybe something can be done at a later point or maybe I'll just wait for it to come out on dvd. Hahaha.

I guess Puss in Boots is another example of a trailer that doesn't do it's movie justice. The trailers I've seen for Puss make it look like a lame cash-in. But the fact that you liked it has piqued my interest.

Hard to believe that Puss in Boots has a serious story. I probably won't be able to catch it in the cinema. But hopefully it'll be on video soon

I have been tempted to see this movie so it is great to hear good reviews for it so far. XD
