| Puss in Boots |
Come to see the new “Puss in Boots” movie if you’re looking for a fun family movie, but not if you’re looking for another Shrek movie. DreamWorks Productions new movie, Puss in Boots works as a standalone and has no reference to the original Shrek movies.
The movie takes place in Mexico, where Puss grows up in a small town as an orphan. He is the odd man out, being a cat, and soon befriends Humpty Dumpty. They have dreams together and are the best of friends before a falling out causes Puss to become an outlaw. After a while he meets up with Humpty’s right hand woman Kitty Softpaws. Humpty tells Puss that he has changed his ways and is ready to be friends again in order to find what they had been searching for their entire lives. Soon Puss is off on the adventure of his life.
The movie is filled with classic Mexican type music, including cat dance numbers. The one thing that remains similar to the original Shrek movies is the sly hilarity that makes both kids and adults alike laugh. Antonio Banderas as Puss and Zach Galifianakis as Humpty Dumpty helped to add comedic talent to the voice actors.
Many entered the movie theatre with low expectations, expecting a cheap Shrek sequel. This film is nothing like that, with its dry humor, new characters and new action sequences defining it as an entirely different film. My only complaint would be that it took a very long time to get to the climax of the film. Overall it’s a good movie to watch with your family, and one of the best animated features of the year.
