Product Description

In this fractured fairy tale, Jack and Jill have the magic beans and Humpty Dumpty, with the aid of Kitty Softpaws, convinces his old friend Puss in Boots to help him steal the beans so they can climb the beanstalk to get to the golden eggs. Never mind that Humpty Dumpty and Puss in Boots had a falling out years ago, or that Jack and Jill are completely preoccupied by their squabbling over whether or not to have a child--and regardless that Puss in Boots is a wanted cat who's sworn off his thieving ways, and Kitty Softpaws is a cat burglar who works alone. Comedy abounds in this film, not only in the twists and turns of some classic fairy tales gone awry, but with scenes that range from a litter-box dance fight between crowds of cats to Jack expressing his paternal instincts by strapping on a baby carrier filled with a piglet in a diaper, and, of course, Puss in Boots' crafty use of his famous sad eyes to get just what he wants. The animation is top-notch (especially in the mass cat scenes), the music is compelling, and the voice talents of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zack Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Amy Sedaris are solid. While considered by some to be a prequel of sorts to the four Shrek films, Puss in Boots is definitely a stand-alone spinoff. What the films do share is a common comedic interpretation of some well-known fairy-tale characters and knack for spinning a funny story that appeals to both kids and adults. While a heightened sense of peril and some extended fight scenes may prove a bit intense for the youngest and most sensitive audience members, Puss in Boots is generally appropriate for ages 7 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

Puss n Boots takes the character from Shrek 2 and beyond and fills out the story of his origins. It makes for a great story, that is as good or better than the Shrek films that inspired it (certainly better than the later Shrek movies). Antonio Banderas does an excellent job as the voice of Puss, while Selma Hayak is equally good as Kitty Soft Paws. In the commentary, Selma mentions that they didn't work directly together in the studio. However, given their shared history on many other movies, she was able to imagine how Antonio would say something and she would respond in kind. I have to say that worked out brilliantly. The banter between the two cats is top-notch. Zack Galifianakis is also a great voice talent as Humpty Dumpty. All in all, it makes for an excellent movie that is fun for both kids as well as adults (I still always laugh at the "oooohh!" cat).
The combo pack is OK. You get a 3D version of the movie (I don't care about 3-D), a Blu-Ray version that looks awesome, and a digital copy that you can download on to a computer or hefty portable device (e.g., tablet). It provides you with a code for download if you are using a device without a DVD drive. The other extras are some commentaries about the making of the movie, which were interesting but nothing special. There's the actors talking about their roles, which (as I've alluded to above) was quite interesting. Some deleted scenes are presented, but only in sketch board format, which was rather disappointing. You get the voices, but only rough black and white still pictures to go with them. The best bonus feature is The Three Diablos, a short film (15 minutes) following Puss after the events of the movie. It's cute and fun.
So overall, while there are some duds in this package, the movie is excellent and there are enough bonus extras to make this purchase worthwhile. If they can make another movie of this quality, I'm looking forward to PnB #2!

This animation movie is one of the best ever made in my opinion. It's funny for kids and adults as well. Many people I know don't like animation movies but loved this one. You can see that the producer has cat and if you do, you'll spend part of the movie saying to yourself: ooohhh that's so true my cat does is too.
I also love that there is an another mini-movie called "Puss in boots and three diablos". Adorable!

I love Puss in Boots! He steals the Shrek movies, and is even more charming in his very own film. You don't need 3D to enjoy this one. He is fantastic!! I highly recommend this film to both children and adults alike!!

likeable
It is just okay. I guess I expected it to be as good a story as Shrek with wittier adult one liners but this one is strictly just for juveniles.

Dreamworks seems bent on becoming the new Disney... and they just might be able to do that.
