    Antonio Banderez shared that this movie was intensely personal to him and he helped shape its direction because of his experience after having a heart attack and the fear and sense of mortality that it caused him. The parallels to a CZcamsr are certainly there, since already built into the story is the allegory of Antonio Banderez' life as a performer.

      Honestly, those people are naive and shallow. All truly great kids media is great because there's real depth to it. So many people grow up and think that kids are dumb and part of adulthood is realizing everything you felt and believed and enjoyed as a child is foolish and must be left behind on the road to maturity. But this is a pale, facile image of maturity favored by a delusional norm of modern social convention.
      True maturity does not scoff at children, or the things made by or for them. The wise ones know it's all real.

    A little secret I appreciated in this film is that Death's whistle tune has 9 beats for each of Puss's 9 lives. After Puss confronts Death the final of his whistles finishes with a more uplifting tune where the last beat is in a more positive note, indicating that Boots' ultimate life will be one of enlightenment and tranquility now that he has accepted his mortality.

      Learned this firsthand as I faced back to back passings of close family members, one of which was my grandmother, she was closest to me and the day before I passing I sat by her side the whole time, holding her hand and quietly telling her I'm here. I didn't want to disturb her, so I always spoke in a hushed tone, I already knew just how much pain she was in and it felt like that silent companionship was the only thing to help her. She was in pain like that for a long time, but passed peacefully the next morning, as if she was asleep. I really do believe that is all that is needed for someone who is dying to pass peacefully like that, closure.

    So I already watched this on hankschannel (thanks for that happy accident, Hank!). I hope Hank knows the audience doesn’t need him to be perfect. Heck, I don’t, and I doubt anyone looks up to him more than I do. One year ago I was trying to find work in SciComm, now I’m the national science communicator for my country’s public broadcaster and I get to talk about science on national TV every day. That’s thanks, in part, to Hank Green himself giving me advice (and looking at my house) on an Awesome Socks Club livestream. Sure, it wasn’t the only reason, but I swear it was one of the most important. I’m living my dream thanks to him - but as much as I look up to him, even I recognize he’s just a person. I hope he knows we know that, and we love him anyway.

    Surprisingly touching and deep movie. Aside: A different take is that the true villain isn't Death. It's Puss's unhealthy psyche. Depending on how you'd like to shift your perspective, Death could be construed as something of a hero. It drives Puss to acknowledge, address and begin to manage their issues. I recall having an epiphany of sorts a long time ago in a galaxy far far away after experiencing something that relayed the message that Death is your friend (the crystal ball is a bit hazy at the moment as to what this something was).
    Anyhoo... thank you for the video. I hope you're on a path of recovery and wellness. Another aside: I just read my second of your brother's books (Turtles All the Way Down, which I loved) and just submitted a library loan for your first book, which I look forward to reading. All the best!

    I ADORED this movie when I first watched it. The deeper understanding of this video made me love it all the more. You made me connect an amazing movie with one of my favorite quotes by Alan Watts. "You must remember that the secret to all this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear."

    An under-ten-minute video essay by Hank Green discussing the lessons of mortality and overcoming fear of death in one of the preeminent animated films of modern times?! I love it. This video ticks all my boxes for interesting content. We intrinsically fear the wolf because the wolf is a tangible representation of all things we are taught to fear, but without the wolf, we would never be forced to reconcile the version of ourselves we are at present and the version of ourselves we want to become. In some ways, the wolf did kill a version of Puss in Boots, but the wolf also was the catalyst for a new life for Puss in Boots. A temporary dance with death inevitably lead to his renewed vigour for preserving life and becoming better at living. I love when films look pretty to kids but simultaneously force adults in the audience to think a little bit more deeply.

When I was a kid, watching Land Before Time let me know that I wasn’t the only one in the world to feel grief over the death of a loved one. I saw myself in Littlefoot’s sadness and I really needed it! Now I’m excited to see Puss in Boots 2. Not because I have cancer (uh, that I know of) but because I often feel as if I’m on the last of my nine lives. Great video. Thanks.
