Alright, I know I'm a bit late to the party on this one. But honestly, despite what people were telling me, I was hesitant to go see Puss in Boots The Last Wish when it first came out, and only reluctantly doing so because I thought the animation looked nice. But man oh man did I not expect THE PUSS IN BOOTS SEQUEL to hit me this hard...

Review over the garden wall
Can you review "the adventures of Chatran"? I think you might like it.
you kill me with the yeah i squat hahah
Perrito does a good job of making “the annoying sidekick” trope actually work. They gave him a personality and a good role in the story outside of just being funny.
Perrito actually served a purpose unlike most comedic relief
He reminds me of a more approachable version of Olaf from the first Frozen movie, before the character became an obnoxious popularity mess
Like how
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 I’m glad everyone enjoyed puss and boots 2 it’s a great woke movie with well written characters and a good story only leftist and communist and good. And creative people can make and not conservative nazis. Lol. The movie is woke by conservatives standards by having a black lady in it also having kitty soft paws a strong female character and other great characters also jack horner literally being a capitalist who exploits his workers to their deaths.....lol conservatives are dumb racist and sexist pigs. That’s all facts. End of discussion. Facts over feelings.
I swear I am going insane; but I see you everywhere in youtube comments
The villains cover the 3 types of antagonists. The sympathetic one, the unstoppable force, and pure evil.
and somehow didn't feel like a clusterfvck of a movie
It’s kind of like what Spider-man 3 and Amazing Spider-man 2 tried to do, but done right.
@@brandonlyon730 very right, I have already noticed
I swear as cool as this is, I’m getting tired of seeing this comment on every god damn video about this movie lmao
@@brandonlyon730 Spider-Man 3 I would argue none of the 3 villains are "pure evil". Marco was thinking about his daughter, Harry thought Spider-Man killed his father, and Eddie had been exposed by Peter and lost his job, girlfriend, and his credibility. His anger toward Peter was already there, just further amplified by the symbiote. None of them were villains "just because", unless you want to count Eddie as being inherently evil because he was a sleazy reporter who stole and photoshopped Peter's own pictures, but you could also argue Eddie was just being what Jameson wanted: a reporter who would make Spider-Man look like the villain Jameson wanted to believe he is, which Peter would never do of his own accord.
Perrito works as a character because he's not like other "comedic relieff" characters.
He's not stupid for no reason, he's innocent
Even he saw his owners and their abuse as pranks, not as attempts to get rid of him
Basically, Perrito is portrayed like a real puppy would act.
No, he knows what he's been through he's not oblivious.. he downplays them as he realises if he let's the trauma control him, he'll never be able to find a friend he realises he needs to trust and that hurt comes with trusting the wrong people..
The thing that surprised me most about The Last Wish wasn't its quality, because I didn't have any expectations that it would be bad. What caught me off-guard was realizing just how much irrational hatred people apparently have for sidekick characters in kids' films.
@@augustrempelewert4377 I fully agree
man, you're comment just made me love my dog Snowpea more
@@kusihari1425 Heck of a name~
As a full grown man, I'm not afraid to say, I teared up multiple times during this movie. Really took me by surprise.
Same. I'm a 36 year old guy and I legit cried at some points. The one that hit me the hardest was when Goldi said she wanted a family, a proper family. As someone who was adopted, hearing her say that, seeing the hurt on the bear's faces, and Mamma bear tearing up saying they'll get that wish, that hurt on so many levels. I'd rather get hit by a sledgehammer in the gonnads, that would hurt less than that.
The ending at the star where there were hard decisions left and right and they all choose the right choice was so cool. And had me tear up with joy and appreciation.
35 here. Just watched it and I laughed so hard with some scenes and cried to others, a Wonderful movie full of beautiful moments ❤❤❤
@sigisoltau6073 honestly Mama Bear was very sweet for that. It caused me to choke up as well
I did not cry a single time
I love that Death isn't outright evil, he's just a neutral party with a grudge
Hes only slightly less of a dick than the guy he is chasing, at all times
He's literally death, so its a force-a-nature that we can't live without
He's a true force of nature. He can not be stopped. He can not be reasoned with. He does not change. He will get what he wants. And he works absolutely perfectly within this story.
yea, i would call it chaotic neutral but true, death is unstoppable. all things end.
@@Lorac_68 I'd argue he falls closer to Lawful Neutral. He has a code of morals that he strictly upholds and does not break, and enforces the natural order of death.
Big Jack Horner really felt like a breath of fresh air compared to other villains in media.
Too many villains nowadays are always just "Boohoo muh tragic past" and try too hard to be sympathetic, but Jack?, no he's pure evil and he loves it.
"Y-you're not gonna shoot a *puppy* are ya, Jack?"
"Yeah. In the face. Why?"
That exchange alone made him hilariously terrible. Loved every minute of this movie.
His backstory made me cackle. Just a supportive and caring family with a stable income. 😂
What's wrong with those
Agreed I miss the days when villains were just evil and love to hate, Disney needs to go back to those days
Also glad he wasn't a "twist villain" like so many movies like to do now. Sure he wasn't in any of the marketing so his existence was a surprise, but it's SO nice to have a good villain we as the audience are constantly fully aware is an evil SOB like Gaston, Judge Claude Frollo, Shrek 2's Fairy Godmother, etc.
No subtext; no "you'll notice this on a second watch" foreshadowing, no misunderstanding of intentions, no sympathetic backstory or redemption arc, just an explicitly evil character from the character's introduction to the character's ending/demise. And the film already gave us an explicit villain in Big Jack Horner and a sympathetic antagonist in Goldilocks.
Jack Horner's carelessness for his employees actually parallels the message perfectly by showing a villain not value the things he has, nor value life (specifically the lives of others)
Now that I think of it, I see him as a representation of major corporations who don't care about their customers, only there for the money, and only want more power, which (hopefully) lead to their downfall.
@@cutestcreeper569 I think that's reading into it a bit too much but I like the interpretation anyway
@@cutestcreeper569 You aren't far off if you look at the lore for the nursery rhyme. Would you believe it is about opportunism and greed? Particularly of politics and the church? Who at the time was pretty much a powerful company itself. Some people say it is, and some don't. I guess it is a matter of perspective.
Why doesn’t death go after him
@@UndeadSlayer5 death is only there to take the dead. He has made an exception for puss because they openly mocked him and technically died a few times before because he didn't value his lives.
Goldi's story always gets me. I always tear up when she says to the bears "I'm getting a family, a proper family!" And then Baby says "Your 'just right' is getting rid of us?" 😭
The scene after that where mama bear says they'll get the wish for her anyway , that just pushed it over the edge
Honestly, I couldn't stand Goldi after that, she even made Mama Bear tear up. But at least she redeemed herself at the end.
I think there was more then that. When she says the wish will make "everything just right for all of us" I don't think she's manipulating them as it's clear she does love them, I think she genuinely believes they'll be better off without her.
@@reeverfan3729She's still relatable in that mentality, those of us hurting start latching on to thoughts of things we don't have. " things will be better if this happens" and even moreso, We start convincing ourselves that everyone around us, those we care about, will be better off when we're gone. If only coming to the realization that what we have is better than what painful ideations we've latched on to was as easy in reality as Goldie makes it seem.
"Disney makes movies for money. DreamWorks makes movies for a story."
While it hasn't felt like that in a while, when they buckle down and really care about creating genuine art, they hit it out of the park.
Edit: Good lord what happened in the replies?
Honestly Old Disney used to feel like that, with the renaissance movies but honestly I feel Disney has just lost it's touch with only rare bits of gold
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375
It’s because they went full secular, which means full political, which means full shallow, given the secular side of politics.
Except for Disney's series that they got like The Owl House, Amphibia or more recently, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which are actually good.
@@brando3342 The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc., Zootopia (not to mention Disney renaissance movies like The Lion King, Mulan or Hunchback of Notre Dame) are all heavily political movies. If anything Disney films have become predictable and sugarcoated, which means NOT political, or at least not in a smart, sharp way. If having a gay couple is the most political thing you have in your movie, well, that's very little. There's no strong message, nothing parents have to explain to their children, nothing grown ups can look back to and be like:"huh I actually didn't get this movie at all when I was a baby". It's just... content. There's no serious politics.
@@reval8515 Sorry, but I don’t think you understand what I’m even talking about, as per your shallow comment about “gay couples”… ironically, you are a poignant example of my point without even realizing it. Good job 👍
Imagine taking ten years to make a sequel for Avatar only to be absolutly beaten by this💀💀
Avatar might have won the box office, but Puss in Boots is honestly better
To be fair, the project of this movie started in 2014.
@@chanhtra247so it’s 9 years. What’s your point?
Yeah the visuals is amazing but but the story is just meh
@@chanhtra247 first ok i guess its minus 1 year and wheres your proof in this?
As someone who's had a few (lot) of panick attacks. The way they did Puss's was amazing not only cause it wasn't made with a joke involved but also because we saw it from Puss's POV. A lot of people don't get the big deal of a panick attack but it really does look like that a lot of times, everthing feels like it's going a million miles per hour and your soroundings feels like they're changing, like you're stuck in your own mind. IT'S SO WELL DONE
They really did nail the sensation.
While I don’t think I’ve ever had tunnel vision occur during one of my panic attacks, the intense breathing, pure fear, and most of all, being stuck in my own mind.
As a person who diagnosed have a panic attack too, this scene really makes my breath be so intense and dizzy. Feels so real like I'm in the Puss's position. 10/10 for the scene imo
A massive thanks to Antonio Banderes for being vulnerable to share his tragic heart attack event to be part of the film. I've watched it 4 times, and it still takes me into introspection on valuing one's life.
His voice acting also improved after 10 years! Goes to show how he relates to the character and his fear of death
The scene where I nearly cried was when mama bear says they will help Goldi with her wish to have a proper family. The idea that you want someone you love to be happy even if you aren’t apart of their life anymore is so rarely seen anymore and something that is just so wholesome.
I cried my eyes out. As someone who is adopted, I felt that scene. Goldi wanting a proper family, the hurt that the bears felt, Mamma Bear saying they'll get that wish for her despite knowing she'll probably never see her "daughter" again and tearing up while saying that, I felt all of it.
I've watched that scene so many times, and every time, I start full-out sobbing. It's so beautiful.
Mamma Bear was the most wholesome character and that says a lot
My moment was when puss gave up his wish for Softpaws to have someone she could trust
I mean, that's what real moms do. They raise us so one day we leave them behind. Based mama bear.
I'm glad we got a sequel of something that didn't just end up being a shameless cash grab for once
The second movie ended up being way better than the first one, Dreamworks always makes sequels better than the OG
@Just some guy who loves Berserk You're completely right. The only thing that made me skeptical at first was unlike most of their other classic sequels, this one was made a LONG time after the first one. This had greed written all over it and it ended up blowing the first out of the water
@@michaelgraham9774 I mean, after The Bad Guys I didn't see it failing personally.
Technically everything is made for cash in mind, BUT with obvious passion a simple budget can turn into riches.
Yeah seriously, this movie had no right being this good.
I know their presence was not as big as Jack's or Death's, but Goldilocks and the Bears still had a terrific story as well. An "underdog antagonist" is not a role I see too often, and yet they still manage to have some of the most impactful scenes and story arcs in the film.
Also they've come a long way since they were trapped in cages in Shrek 1.
But mama bear died in shrek 1. I think baby bear from shrek just grew up as the next papa bear and had his own family next. This is just a head cannon though but it makes sence.
I’m embarrassed to say that this movie genuinely changed my life in the way of reframing a way I handled a mental break a few years ago.
I had 3 parrots which I raised with all my love and care, and one of them was Cupid, my little “awkward social outcast.” He didn’t like scavenging or playing, but he simply enjoyed the presence of whoever he was hanging out by. One day I was at a very big breaking point in my life, and had a massive panic attack (the very first major one of many to come). I went downstairs, and he crawled on my shirt and onto my shoulder. I don’t usually like him on my shoulder because he gets stuck in my hair, but his big, puffy feathers against my cheek just, like… did something. Literally just like in stupid funny shoe cat sequel.
I didn’t realize until I saw that scene that the physical presence of pets could genuinely play such a role in mental health. Just the fainted touch from the feathers of a bird I worked so hard keeping happy and healthy, knowing that he appreciates the company in his own bird way… dude, it changes you.
❤️
Too much reading,
Deactivating.....
@@Foxthatisaplushlol
We can all thank "into the spiderverse" for the popularity for this animation style. First, digital animators were asked to make cartoons and were limited by the technology of 20 years ago. Then digital animators were asked to make their animations as realistic as possible. Only now is it starting to come into it's own as an artistic medium. Spiderverse felt like a moving comic book, and this movie feels like a legend being told at bedtime.
Yeah the animation style of this reminds me of the art from those old fairy tale and fable books I read as a kid. Post Spider-Verse animation really is something special. Curious to see how Disney takes a crack at more unique styles if they ever would
Should never have taken this fucking long, honestly the premise of animation being made to be as realistic as possible should been a hard no the instant it was conceived
@@dragonmaster3030 the uncanny valley runs deep. I get it for things like supplementing CGI, but for cartoons? Nah, let them look cartoonish.
Spider verse may well have started a revolution in animated filmmaking and I'm all for it
Spiderverse and ARCANE too.
They both are the main reasons why we can appreciate some good cartoonish and stylized animations nowadays
My college did a screening of this film which was followed by a Q and A from the director, co-director, and I believe head of animation. Two of my favorite quotes from that Q and A were "We didn't just want to hit the sequel button" and "I've been working in animation for 30 years... and this has been my favorite project."
Goddamn. Thats beautiful. For at least one person, this was the culmination of a career in the mainstream arts
It's a beautiful thing when talented and motivated people receive creative and financial freedom in a project
One thing I love about the wolf is how he looks terrifying in every scene he’s in, even when he’s making friendly conversation with puss you get this air of danger and malice
I think they got that feeling in the first conversation from a combination of how he just showed up out of nowhere and how close he was. We could see Puss was alone, then the wolf is right there, directly next to him, leaning into his space, staring at him, grinning the whole time. It is unsettling, and it adds a discomforting feeling in every other scene because your first interaction it's made clear the wolf violates social norms and is also a threat.
A few honorable mentions I'd say deserve some praise:
-Perrito, despite being the typical annoying sidekick has an actual really emotional backstory where he was basically left in a box floating down the river, abandoned. Yet instead of being bitter, he just wants to help. Like he's seriously traumatized, which is not what I expect from a kid's movie.
-Death (wolf), despite not having many scenes he absolutely has a constant presence and it's great. It shows him as an unstoppable force, further made clear when he effortlessly walks through the star wall that just swallowed a human.
-The final scene with the fighting between puss and Death is just so well done, the little details where he uses the dagger to parry him at the last moment showing trust in his allies, to the part where he tells him to pick up his blade just like Death did to him to show he's not afraid.
-Goldi wanting a proper family, despite being just side characters it felt like their story came to a satisfying emotional end.
I might be reading into it too much, but I really liked that he used the gatito blade to block the scythe that had all 8 of his past lives on it. If he never changed anything about his life, it would have been the end of him, but since he made just one friend, it was enough to stop all that weight.
@@Thedrizzle404 That's a pretty nice take actually, didn't think of it that way before and I like it.
I believe one of the inspiration for the movie's story was the fact that Antonio Banderas, the voice actor of Puss, went through a heart attack and thats what gave him a new perspective in life and death, so he brought this to the movie really seamlessly.
One theme i got from the story is also Not losing set of your morals and how sometimes building a legacy can make you lose set of the person you used to it as it was clear Puss in boots became too big headed and reckless at the start also it shown from the start of he treated His party like some big superstar thing and the way I saw his eight lifes are his worst sides like his gym self being his buff self also Him getting burn from the oven his impulse and him trying to fire himself from a cannon his recklessness and the point of his quest his him coming to terms with his oldself and being reminding of the guy he used to be as the first film made it clear he was never reckless like he was at the start of the last wish
@@comicbookreviewer4856learn to use punctuation. Please.
@@Kalamarine_Animal personally i just read it like the punctuation isnt there but idk about you but you do you
I had the same thought when Puss is on the ground, panting and holding his chest. (Also, severe panic attacks often mimic heart attacks…plus extreme stress can induce a heart attack in susceptible individuals.)
As someone with PTSD and generalized anxiety this film hit me hard and I am so glad I saw it in theaters DreamWorks has a history of making absolutely banger sequels and I’m glad it happened again
Same here. I never liked the Shrek franchise at all, and literally only saw this film so my assistance dog in training could experience a cinema, but this film was so good that I went back to see it a second time. 💜
@@OcraStars Glad I'm not the only onw who dislikes the Shrek franchise. I've never enjoyed parodies. The trailer for this looked cool, but I wasn't thrilled about it. I decided to see it ona slow week in the theaters, but had to find the first one and watch it. I appreciated the fact that, while in the Shrek universe, these two films could stand independently. When they went into the feud between Puss and Humpty, I figured that backstory was in one of the Shrek sequels. I'm glad it was all laid out in the Puss movie. I found the 1st Puss pretty good, so I went it with ok expectations. It really did blow me away and I cried several times (including the panic attack scene). The characters were al great, the plot was fantastic, and the animation looked incredible. Death was a fantastic villain and his physical appearance along is legit terrifying.
that has changed recently lmao
I'm amazed that an American kids film showed the perfect representation of having a panic attack and then being helped by a pet coming to comfort you. Moments like that make you really realize how much your pets really love and care for you. Even my cat, who is a crazy jerk sometimes, has been there for me before in my time of need. I am there for my pets when they need me too.
Perrito got the good and easy way because he had already been through so much and yet he was still so caring and optimistic about life.
Its because the map changes according to your heart
I’d argue that Perrito’s way wasn’t “easier” but absolutely perceived that way. It’s more how interprets what he’s been through rather than be scared or angry about it.
I’ll forever cherish this movie. In a time when Disney can’t make good content out of the biggest franchises on earth, Dreamworks just casually dropped one of the best animated films ever in the form of a sequel to a spin-off. It proves that with enough love and talent you can tell an amazing story about any character in any setting.
This soon follow by Illumination with the Mario movie.
@@randompoet9997 Except the Mario movie isn't as great as people praise it to be when in comparison to the Puss in Boots sequel. It *IS* great family fun, especially for the kids, and, with the help of the Sonic movies before (which I argue are better made films in terms of actual writing), kickstart the video game adaptation phase of Hollyweird. The only reason Mario is garnering so much is because Mario is *_iconic_* and a well-known IP for over 3 decades. The film itself is meh for adults, but fucking crack for kids, and there's no shame in that. But old school Dreamworks and Pixar levels of great the Mario movie is *not.*
Also, just keep in mind that the vast majority of the (currently ~53) films that are in the "billion dollar" club, only a small handful, less than a dozen of them, even deserve to be billion dollar hits. FFS, Captain Marvel is a billion dollar movie, as well as _two,_ TWO!!!! Transformers movies. So the fact something makes money != it actually being a fantastic movie.
Though with this said, I've heard the JP version is much better in terms of story, so I'll be trying to get my hands on that. Plus it doesn't have that f46607 Seth Rogan in it. Fuck that idiot.
@@malice5121the only reason I liked the Mario movie was peaches
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish instantly became one of my favorite animated films of 2022! It was a real treat to hear antonio and Salma reprise their roles as Puss and Kitty after 11 years, And like you'd expect one of my favorite characters in this sequel was Death he was totally badass especially with those red eyes and sickle blades!!!
Bro that's why dual weapons are badass I mean look at Kratos, Dante, Alucard and Death as of now
It's my favorite animated film of the year, and it would have been my favorite film, period, if it weren't for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Just realized that Death appears around the same time there is a high amount of death/suffering the film.
Jack’s employees, Puss’ initial escape, the final wish where Baby nearly dies and well, Jack and others actually do, and most notably in the mirror maze thingy where Puss meets his former lives, that is, all the times he’s died.
Not sure if that was intentional or not but if so, chef’s kiss.
What Perrito did during Puss' panic attack was a legitimate therapy dog technique called Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), where a dog puts pressure on a person's body, which helps alleviate stress.
The big thing that surprised me was how they kept SO MUCH secret in the trailers, literally naming the wolf "Bounty Hunter" or "Big Bad Wolf" as well as in the death cards in the movie Death is in the corners with his sickles but they CUT THAT OUT IN THE TRAILERS! IT'S AWESOME!
Ngl, the panic attack scene, hit me hard. I think I started tearing up. I love how they handled that.
I especially appreciate how that scene stays serious and they don't crack a joke until several minutes after the panic attack ends.
I love this movie
When the Wolf said: "I am death, straight up!" I had chills all up and down my whole body!
An interesting point of fact. At one point, Death Wolf is referred to as "Lobo", which is spanish for Wolf, However, there was a famous, and real, wolf named Lobo. Who was infamous for evading every trap and hunter that set out for him. His bounty was $1000 back in 1890, which equates to about $35000 in todays money.
I like how aside from split-second Easter Eggs, this is largely its own thing. As someone who watched this film before seeing the 2011 film, I barely even thought this was a sequel. It has some continuity, but it is far from inaccessible or incoherent without seeing the prior film(s). They give you enough standalone development for the pre-existing characters so it can easily feel like a whole new thing.
Also I absolutely LOVE how Big Jack Horner, the true villain, is in none of the film's marketing, so going in you think the Goldilocks Crime Family and Wolf are the "villains", when they are actually just a sympathetic antagonist and a sort of antihero acting in his own interest respectively. In an age where movies will literally spoil the whole freaking movie in a 2 minute trailer, I like how a lot of this movie was kept under wraps.
I hadn't watched the 2011 puss in boots since 2011 so i pretty much don't remember what happened in it nor have i ever watched shrek though my dad did when he was younger so the only thing I had watched recently of puss in boots was the animated series I watched around 2018. So this to me was a standalone movie, though they did have the easter eggs but they were small enough and I knew a bit about shrek anyway so I found it great
The panic attack scene had me crying, because I have autism and have an autism service dog who helps with when I have my own panic attacks in public. He was with me when this scene happened, and I got tense cause I know exactly what that feeling is like. He stood up and put his head in my lap and seeing that on screen with my own service dog doing that for me was so emotional.
This story is beautiful.
Damn bro is the real life our favourite fearless hero
@@1ntegerLimit I rather say his dog is the real life version of Perrito.
That blood trickle was the LEAST expected thing in an animated movie. I froze up seeing that. There are no words.
I honestly feel this movie takes a lot of inspiration from Japanese anime media rather than being stuck in Hollywood in it's presentation and story telling. It affords itself some serious and mature themes in a family film and is way better off for it.
i think in that sense it returned to the roots of what fairy tales were, stories to introduce little humans to the difficult truths of life that they wouldn’t quite grasp yet, and leave them with a value that prepares them to cope with it later.
I wish we had more villains or antagonists like Death nowadays. He was a true badass in the movie. His very presence and whistle gives you the sense of fear and that death is near. He was an antagonist Dreamworks needed after so long.
Same goes for Jack Horner. He's a villain who is unapologetically evil from start to finish.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 with nothing redeemable about him he he was a spoiled shitty kid that grew to be an even shitter adult and he is so entertaining. and it's fine because you have Goldilocks and the bears and they bring the emotional backstory and the redemption arc. All these three sides of antagonists compliment each other so well and make the movie so different together
They managed to have all the popular villain tropes and made them work in this movie very well:
Death - the mysterious, dark and brooding force of nature villain
Jack Horner - a greedy, power-hungry, and megalomaniac villain
Goldie and the bears - The Sympathetic villains
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 also with death is metaphorical villain one who represent an idea more than a character
Another reason I really loved Death is because he reminded me of Stain from My Hero Academia: an unstoppable force of nature with a consistent philosophy and set of principles.
I actually teared up the most with Goldi wanting a “proper family”, but it’s a bit weird why it did it to me.
I grew up with divorced parents, having so many different stepparents, some wonderful, some okay, and the current one stepmom just hating me no matter what I did or attempted. I’ve always been unsure of how a proper family works.
I remember growing up and seeing other children with their mom and dad together and their siblings in one home, and as a kid I always wanted that. Just, a *proper family* that stays put and together.
Seeing how Goldi was I was immediately thrown back into that time in my life where I wish I had a “real family”, who were both my blood family and loved me. But seeing how life isn’t exactly like that, I learned that family isn’t blood. It’s built on bonds, love, and trust. I’ve built my own weird little family that I will *never* give up or wish differently. And seeing Goldi grow and slowly understand her *real* family is right in front of her eyes, that brought me to tears.
I hope this makes a bit of sense to some people, and I’m sorry if it doesn’t. I’m also sorry to those who do understand where I’m coming from and hope you’ve found yourself a family. Love the review as always Steve!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!💗🖤
I relate to this
Beautiful conclusion on your part
Bless you and your found family
Mama bears voice lines hit so hard and made me the most emotional. When Goldi at the very end of the movie says that she did find her proper family and that everything was just right, mama bears voice line "oh, your going to make me cry" was delivered so well I just can't help but start tearing up.
@@fossilking444 I’m sorry you do and I hope you’ve found your perfect little family as well💗💗💗
@@Jonah-tm2zq What broke me down was her telling Goldi that even though she doesn’t want to stay with them, if it’s her wish then they’ll still help her get it. That broke me, hell I’m tearing up even thinking about it right now. Mama Bear is definitely one of my favorite characters in this movie, other than Big Jack Horner and Perrito.
Same Here, I cried during goldis scene for the same reason. Plus my dad recent had a divorce b4 we watched it so it felt wayyyy worse then just the fact that it happened 😶
Mama bear is such a real one for still wanting to get goldie her wish 🥺 she deserves the world 💜💖💜
I really appreciated how they interpreted literal death of characters. It was somehow light hearted in a way that wouldnt disturb kids bit would get an adult covering their mouth with surprise.
While Death, Jack Horner, Jimminy Cricket, Puss in Boots and Perrito were the best part about the film, its worth noteing that the other important characters like Kitty Softpaws and Goldylocks and her bear crime family are also a great part about the film, they also have a strong arcs that connects with Puss's arc, add more to the story and film and are well done characters
But either way, it was a prenosi film and it was a great review you did
This movie was basically Spider Man 3 done right
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Yeah basically
This film is something Spiderman 3 tried but failed
Remember, the kids films are more mature than “adult” films.
realistic fact .
Take for example the way Velma depicted panic attacks and then compare it to Puss in Boots
Restriction breeds creativity.
@@ForeverLaxx Galileo Galilei would absolutely agree.
Have to agree, most Adult animation are Shock Comedy like FG or SP but blemy the only serious drama left are Seinen anime titles as of late.
Fun fact: Death's voice actor is a famous actor that acted in Brazilian movie called Elite Squad, having the role of a Special Forces captain
It is a kids movie, I don't know when this started and when people thought it was a good idea, but Kids movies shouldn't be watered down and made safe for kids, children need to have something they fear, something that challenges them and makes them think, not just a slideshow of funny or happy pictures.
People always act all shocked when they hear the original German fairy tales these stories are often based upon and how much darker and mature they are then the stories we present to the children, but I think it is important to have that.
Whenever a kids' movie doesn't suck ass, youtubers are like "oNly mAtuRe AdUlTs cAn hAndLe thIS!"
One thing I like about this movie is that each antagonist is of a different breed: Goldilocks has an honest goal and is more redeemable, Jack Horner is an "irredeemable monster" who is evil just because he can, and Death isn't evil at all, he's literally just doing his job.
Yep and in classification goes
Goldilocks - Anti-villain
Big Jack Horner - Villain
Death - Villain in Name Only
seriously a very diverse cast without trying to shoehorn it in.
Eh I don't think Death was just doing his job, he had a personal grudge against the Puss for not valuating his life and laughing at death. He was trying to kill him instead of just letting things flow naturally
Puss in boots is a perfect example of a good animated movie/series. Death honestly took the villain role perfectly. As well as Goldilocks being the perfect redeemed villain. Anyone making an animated series/movie should take the character designs, story, jokes and personalities as an example.
Goldilocks wish was pure
As someone who experiences frequent panic attacks, seeing one accurately portrayed onscreen was rough, but beautiful. Watching how the characters handled it was so perfect it almost broke me.
I've lost count of the times friends have made an episode worse by being overbearing with their approach.
Seeing Perrito just... be there, and comfort Puss without talking, rationalizing, or asking questions was awesome. It's exactly what I need when I literally feel like I'm going to die. I don't want "help", I just need to know that someone is there, riding the wave out with me, and will be there when it's over, with no judgement. The writers that came up with this have not only obviously had their own struggles, but had the restraint, and grace to show people how a situation like this should be handled. You can't fake the raw experience of moving on from a situation where you almost, and probably should have died. It's not smooth, heroic, pretty, or fun to deal with.
I hate that I love this kids movie so much compared to most other "adult" media that has been released the last few years.
9:16 Perrito is Spanish for little dog. It started as an endearing nickname that he chose as his actual name later.
As good as the panic attack scene is, I really like the moment right after it. Having completely broken down and then being saved, he really opens up to Perrito for the first time. And it was through talking to him about his fear and regret that he helped patch things up later.
The panic attack scene is my favorite in the whole movie. It really hits home. And Perrito is such a good boy. I wish he was in my family.
Its also the most scientific approach to panic attack/distress. A hug literally releases happy hormone and calms the heartbeat so my reaction to Perrito snuggle was: Oh, that makes sense!
0:49 Heeeeeyyy cmoooon. That "Im dying"-moment was one of the best moments in the film..
Being someone who suffers from Panic Disorder and anxiety attacks, the panic attack scene is so accurate to what it's like in real life. I'm glad the topic was handled with seriousness and respect.
They made a simple whistle so frightening and dread filled that whenever I hear it I get just as scared as Puss, effective and bone chilling! As I said to my friends upon leaving the cinema and they agreed: This movie was spectacular, one of its kind!
It’s like the opposite end of the spectrum from Blues’ (Protoman) whistle from MegaMan.
The scenes with Death honestly gave me chills. The whistling is so eerie and unsettling.
It reminds me of "el silbón" (the whistler) a scary tale from my country where if you're walking alone at night to or from a party and hear a very distinctive whistle from behind you it means that he is coming for you and if you hear the same whistle from far away you are already f... because he's there, same vibes and same outcome, less talk.
I love the wolf character and el silbón story.
Imagine my kids slacking on their chores or doing something they shouldn’t and suddenly from somewhere unknown they hear me whistling this theme. Thank you Wolf for making child discipline a thing of the past and filling my house with squeals of excited laughter that can only be rivaled late at night on the finest camping trips :)
The part where me and my friends were caught off gard, was when the wolf revealed himself as death, because up to this point I thought that the wolf was such a good bounty hunter, because he was a wolf (you know, great scent, great hearing, and a lot of stamina). But him revealing himself to be death made him a lot cooler for us.
The perrito story of how he got his sweater still makes me cry. Like I was not expected to be so emotional in this movie at all.
Cried so hard at the panic attack scene. My most favorite moments with my dogs is when they rest their chin on me. It's so comforting and lovely. I sobbed
The only problem I have is that now they are going to have to top this. Like, everyones going to go to their next film expecting for the lightning to strike twice. I cant imagine the amount of stress that they're all going to have to go through, now that the spotlights on them. At least they'll prolly get more funding for the next film...
People are already going "how did we go from puss in boots 2 to this" when it comes to dreamworks next movie Ruby Gillman.
Ppl think Ruby Gillman is gonna be mid.
I'm not really expecting that mermaid film to be a masterpiece or anything. Maybe it'll be a fun watch, but not every film is gonna be the next Puss in Boots 2 or Kung Fu Panda.
Of course, if Ruby Gillman somehow ends up being god tier then by all means keep the hype train going...
Weirdest thing about this movie in my opinion is that it came out in the generation that is having one of the worst mental health crisis the world has ever seen instead of being at this goofy you know light-hearted movie it gives a message that I as a fifteen-year-old honestly needed and this movie honestly impacted how i look at life so take that for what you will
My dog is not a therapy dog, but she's figured out how to help ground me with that exact move that Perrito did, just gently resting her chin on me and being a calming presence. Seeing that on the screen made me spring and entire leak
01:19 Mind you Shrek and Puss are never passed their prime!
They're immortal!
Big Jack Horner being evil for the sake of being evil just makes him seem like he's being what he's supposed to be funny enough. A comic relief villain.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the guy who actually helped bring this project up again after being in development hell for so long: Chris Meledandri, the CEO of Illumination! He may have been an executive producer, but I think the film would’ve been cancelled if he hadn’t been brought in. The animators, directors, writers, and voice actors brought their A game and deserve every praise they get, but Meledandri deserve some too for helping getting this film made.
Considering his involvement with the Mario Movie and said himself that Miyamoto is “Front and Center” for the movie, his involvement was a nice surprise.
I can’t belive the Minions saved Puss and Boots from production heck
@@yoshi_chuck05 the only useful thing those fucking pills will ever do
@@yoshi_chuck05 well Universal Studios owns both Illumination and Dreamworks
A small detail I love. After the final confrontation between Puss and Death when Death snarls at Puss, Puss actually flinches. He's not fearless. Bravery is not the absence of fear, but going on despite it.
This movie did not have to go this hard, and definitely passed all expectations on DreamWorks.
I mean Kung Fu Panda ended up being absolutely great, and now Puss in Boots managed to evolve from a comedic relief into his own character
You could tell they put a lot of effort into this film just by the animation and the voice acting
Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu panda and HTTYD trilogy, Shrek 2
You really think DreamWork has no expectations because *some* of their movies are mid. Just like Disney and Pixar? Even studio ghibli is guilty of having below average films.
But nah. Let's just pretend this is the first good DreamWorks film. Ever. All DreamWorks did was make cars 2 and Turning Red.....oh wait
@@misterzeke7021
Eh....miles morales did it better
@@frogglen6350 Prince of Egypt probably there best 2D animated film and maybe even Dreamwork’s best film at that
I love how we got 3 completely different villain tropes and somehow it actually got pulled off in an almost perfect way. You got Jack Horner, who is straight up evil like typical fairy tail/cartoon villains. There’s Goldi and the three bears who are the sympathetic villains who have an emotional backstory and are redeemed in the end, very similarly to how movie villains are typically portrayed now. And then there’s Lobo, who is a mystery for much of the movie, and is more or less doing his job, albeit before Puss’s time and with more pleasure than is necessary. And rather than being redeemed or killed at the end, he merely comes to a truce with Puss out of begrudging respect. But he’s a recreation of an enemy everyone has. Death is inevitable. At one point or another, just about everyone must come to terms with the looming threat of it creeping ever closer and decide how to cope with that and how they want to spend what time they have left. And it’s terrifying. And somehow, they managed to convey that heart pounding dread and terror in a cartoon. Honestly, props to Dreamworks. They did a phenomenal job on this movie and I hope they keep it going with their next movies.
Dude, am I the only one who was disappointed by this movie? Like, yes, it started of very well. The idea is very exciting. Animation work is innovative.
But!
How was it "pulled off"??
I thought that Goldi's story was completely unnecessary. Giving personality to the 3 bears was very nice and their voice acting was phenomenal. But was the moral of the story rly good??
The pink hair guy firstly had a very repulsive character design and was overpowered. Nonetheless easily defeated.
Lastly, besides anything, who the fck came up with the "u ruined the fun" for death.????? I was expecting smth spectacularly smart. But I was just "oh, u ain't scared anymore and got a tiny knife? Well, I'm out then".
He was such a memorable and fantastic villain, but got ruined imo.
Perrito had some fun sides but his "life lessons" felt forced and insincere.
Idk, why does everything need to be ab mental health, smelling the roses or smth?
@@someone3195 You misinterpreted Death's character. The whole point is that he was after Puss because he was saw just how arrogant he was and how he didn't value any of his lives or really care when he lost them. So he came after Puss because he thought that he wouldn't value his 9th life either. He left Puss at the end because as he puts it "I came here for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal but I don't see him anymore." He realized that Puss wasn't the same arrogant cat who didn't value his lives and thus there was no point in killing him then. That's why some people argue that Death isn't a villain.
Your other criticisms are just your personal preference, but you got Death and basically the point of his relationship with Puss wrong.
4:30 I LOVE this incarnation of the Grimm Reaper!!!
My sister and I just watched this movie (loved it) and I love that the Jiminy Cricket character is credited as "Ethical Bug". I'm guessing they either couldn't get the rights to use Jiminy Cricket's name or didn't want to pay for it, but Ethical Bug is the greatest substitute they could have come up with. I love it.
12:51 also, what Perrito does, laying his head on Puss’s chest, Is something that actual service dogs do when their owner is experiencing an attack. It anchors the person experiencing the attack, allowing them to come down instead of spiraling.
My gf and I went to watch this movie a second time in the theater (first time was at a drive-in theater). It was pretty packed with the typical families with small children, a few teens, etc. When the movie played out, I noticed that everyone was very attentive to the film. Like we were all fully watching and appreciating it as a whole. It made me feel really good that this movie was able to do that.
This movie hit close to home, my panic and anxiety attacks are like puss running from death, it hit even harder when perrito just laid on him I almost freaking cried cause sometimes we just need someone who cares in that moment
When the Panic attack scene came in, my first legitimate thought was, "A panic attack? Shown on the big screen? I thought those only existed in fanfiction." While Puss in Boots.... technically taking place in a fanfiction of multiple tales and fables??
Imma be honest. The wolf was the first animated villain to genuinely give me the creeps.
Agreed. His physical look is very well-done, but still terrifying.
@@user-th4ch4ky3g Death is significantly more terrifying than Johan, though the latter was definitely unsettling.
death generally never terrified me, I thought he was just cool
Death was creepy but the cool kind of creepy. The scary kind of creepy is Frollo from hunchback of the notre dame. Like I'd rather be in the same elevator as Death rather than Frollo
@Belle Rebato yeah I agree. Death freaked me out but he was cool at the same time
As someone who had a panic attack recently, this movie portrayed one incredibly well. This is probably my new favorite animated movie of all time, the whole thing that damn good.
Edit: Before I saw this movie I was in a depressed state and hung up on my future for so long. But after seeing this it got me to realize how I should just live my best life the way I want, and stop worrying about the things yet to come.
This movie did the panic attack scene way better than Velma did…..
@@osmanyousif7849 anything can do anything better than Velma, hell a theatre slideshow made for a school class project would be more entertaining than that garbage
saw this movie last night, Honestly, These last months have been Rough personally, This week i lost my last chance to enmend a mistake that i make at the begining of this bad luck spree... this last week i was really thinking that maybe nothing was worth and it was better to end it all once and for all... after seeing this movie, today i woke up with a different view on how i was looking things, it's not about personal reminicenses, but the context in which this movie spoke to me
Yes, it also made me look at my life too. We just need to work on making it better. I also was depressed and already had given up on life. As the film, my life was full of sorrows and I never made room for those who cared for me. I never realized it but my mother misses me so much. She had a tough battle with her health and is living by herself at the moment . We live far away from each other and with this film. I am making room for my mother. Just like Puss left “The Legend Of Puss N Boots” to make room for Perrito and Kitty. I too want to do the same and make my mother happy again.
@@antonioreyes421 Hey, you could even rewatch it together.
I watched this with my mum and honestly if I'd watched it alone I would've been sobbing, especially at the panic attack scene. SUCH an excellent movie!
The frame thing during the fight scenes was actually used in Mad Max: Fury Road. It was meant to make the audience feel a sense of anxiety similar to how Max was feeling in the opening. To see the same trick again is awesome, and works well with the themes presented in this movie.
My wife and I went to go and see this film on a random wednesday we both somehow had off. It was us, and three other couples, all of us in our mid to late 20-somethings. We all laughed, cried, and applauded together. I was not expecting it to be a movie I genuinely recommend to people. The variety of characters and motivations was magnificent and Big Jack Horner is the villain we all needed to show us what a true bad guy looks like.
One thing I loved about this movie is that we seemingly have all the most popular villain archetypes and they all work flawlessly!
Death = Force of Nature
Jack = Classic Pure Evil Villain
Goldy and the Bears = Sympathetic Villains
5:15 I’m not an animator, or a professional by any means, but I was an after effects video editor for many many years, and I can share that they drop the frame rate because of motion blur!!!
with fast movement when you have a higher frame rate, no matter how much you blur it: it seems too smooth, the blur will barely be visible, the image will look too clear, making camera movements and transitions feel unnatural and choppy, it doesn’t move like your eyes would move in real life. When you drop the frame rate, it blurs it more, and the movements look more natural to your eye.
When the transitions in my edit didnt flow together well enough i would drop the framerate and immediately they would meld together perfectly.
As someone who has had panic and anxiety attack about death since I was 14. This movie hit me on a personal level.
I hope we get more movies like this in the future
With this and *The Bad Guys* - I'm convinced that DreamWorks is coming back on top as one of the best animation studios.
The bad guys was cool and funny as hell. Definitely needs a sequel.
@@jaxthewolf4572 The director plans to make one
Yeah I’m glad they moved on from such stupid films like Trolls and are doing much cooler ideas for films
All right, I still need to watch the bad guys.
It's on Netflix
I loved some of the small details in this movie, one big one with how they portrayed Death and his whistling. At the start, his whistling comes of as chilling and genuinely unsettling. But by the end after Puss accepts his mortality and that he will eventually meet Death again...Death's whistling as he leaves is a lot more calming and dare I say a bit soothing. And it fits the theme so way. To someone scared of dying, the concept of death would be pretty scary. But to someone who welcomed their mortality and death in the end...it would almost be comforting to them.
Did anyone else think the Wolf only existed in Puss' head at first? The way he went unnoticed by others and how he seemingly can teleport made me think he wasn't really there until the end of course.
I can see why you would think that. Someone might have told me death was in the movie I don’t remember being surprised
Tears hit my eyes for two scenes. The panic attack. Mainly because of the dog. As someone who had dogs most my life and knowing just how much they ground you when all is dark got me hard. The other was the end with Goldi. I don’t know why that hit as hard as it did but it did.
Now that Puss in Boots and TMNT have the spiderverse type of animation, can Transformers have the spiderverse style? I would definitely watch it if it ever happened.
@Julian “Jules” R hopefully.
Every now and then a film comes along so unexpected so outta nowhere thats so incredibly good you wonder where it came from. This is one of those films. This is easily the best thing ive watched since Soul. Its jaw droppingly great. Do yourself favor and watch this movie.
I actually watched this movie on a plane & probably shouldn’t have. The wave of emotions I experienced from THE PUSS & BOOTS SEQUAL were insane. It truly is a work of art & every detail mattered. Hats off to the entire team!
This movie hit me hard. I relate to Puss’s fear of death so much, I think even if I was still a 9-year-old. I had never seen a movie deal with that before.
I don't think any of us expected this film to pop off as much as it did. And it was a strange feeling when we reached the end of the movie with Team Friendship sailing toward Far Far Away. It for once didn't feel like cheap nostalgia. It actually got me excited at the possibility of seeing Shrek and the gang again. Nostalgia usually doesn't work on me but in this case, after such an impeccable film, it actually did for once.
After a good movie doing justice by its iconic character, introducing cool new ones, and wrapping it all together in a well animated, well written and deeply funny and profound future classic...
It made me very excited for the realm of possibility that Dreamworks could have for the next decade after the Last Wish.
Honestly I want them to expand Death as a character perhaps he could be the link that connects some of the Dreamworks universes, like honestly Imagine him in a Guardians movie or series, him being a concept would have fit a movie like that very well, as well.
I would like to see Perrito and Donkey interact with each other
@5:00 when you discuss the difference in the "combat" animation. That appears to be a deliberate stylistic choice to me. I think the idea was for dramatic action poses to have a bit more impact because they can "hold" on them for longer. Reminiscent of a comic book or anime. I don't think they would want to use that style for the whole film though, since it would be distracting during dialogue and emotional moments.
God the little things in this movie just sell it so hard, Tha ttiny little moment of panic on Perrito's face when puss is having a panic attack, into just laying his head on his belly. The still frames of animation that are seen for split seconds that in and of themselves are stunning, the music being actually quite good, memorable even. If i meet anyone on the team that made this, then I will congratulate them for their work on the spot and ask to buy them a round or two.
I thought that the wolf character was supposed to be the big bad wolf from like the three little pigs or red riding hood or something. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of him being Death personified, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters especially with what they did with Goldie and the three bears 😎.
This film is fun, funny, sweet, heartfelt, and kind of brought me back to the edginess DreamWorks had in it's early days 😎.
That wolf is already in shrek, though. The 3 little pigs wolf that is.
10:16 I think the point of the map is for the wishing star to make sure that anyone who wants to make a wish is absolutely certain that they need their wish. Perrito is already sure he doesnt need anything, so all it does is try to make things easier for him.
I took it as if you have selfish or malicious intent the forest makes it harder for you to reach the shooting star.
@@blueflare3848 I think it ultimately does that because the map creates obstacles that will likely grant the 'wish' the holder has before they reach the star, hence the goldilocks and the three bears encountering their cabin that reminded them of being an actual family already. Likely Puss and Kitty having difficult obstacles meant their problems are far deeper and overcoming those obstacles will be required for them to get their wish in a round-about way (Kitty gets someone she could trust, Puss appreciates his last life).
Perrito doesn't have any of this issue so he doesn't really care if he goes there or not so the map makes the obstacles super easy to reflect that.
I still get teary eyed watching the panic scene even in clips it was just so well done
watched this on a plane, because there wasn’t anything better. pleasantly surprised by how good it was. haven’t watched something from hollywood - animated or otherwise - with so many authentic human moments in a long time.
17:19 this scene made me sympathise with my ex, and other men who truly worked to be the person their loved ones could depend on, but succumb to moments of trauma and terror that they just couldn’t, and they know that they broke their hearts but the terror is just too strong. i know how crippling this would be.
As someone going through a neurotic fear of death period, this movie really called me out. 😂 I adore it.
Neurotic?
There were so many things in this movie that I absolutely did not see coming. The first thing is adult themes and the censord swearing. That really surprised me, and then oh my god, the panic attack scene gave me the biggest chills, the blood that runs down Puss' face. As for the "Wolf," revealing himself as dearh that wasn't to surprising for me ,but my god, there were so many curve balls that I didn't expect to happen. This movie is such a treasure and an instant classic for me. I don't know the full details of why the writers went this way, but my gods. There's just no words to describe how amazed I was.
That panic attack bit totally made me cry. I dont get full on panic attacks but i completely understand the meaning of the scene. I lost my daughter 4 years ago, im also autistic and melt downs are very easy for me more now then before. I find this part so meaningful because in times when you just can't cope you often don't need those empty words people say because they think they need to say something but don't know what, you often just need someone to sit quietly with you and just let you know they are there when your ready to talk. They will hold your hand through. And its a beautiful things a kids film can show this. It will hopefully not only show a good way for kids to help someone but im sure many adults too. ❤
Becoming one of my all time favorite movies yet, this movie taught me a lot about valuing life and holding those close to you as someone going through a lot right now. It’s really sweet and the animation is wonderful. It’s Dreamwork’s Spiderverse without a doubt and I hope we get more gorgeously done movies like this. The added bonus of being psychological as well really made me more of a fan!
