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!!

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.

Puss N Boots follows Puss on his prequel before we meet him in Shrek 2, his childhood and (mis)adventures with Humpty Dumpty looking for a legendary treasure. The voice acting is truly strong and Zack Galifianakis (Due Date) provides a complex character and touching lines altogether. No small feat. The animation is quite nicely done, but the film lacks a few unpredictability, taking its heroes on uncharted lands... nevertheless, it could be worse and what we have here is quite great fun for the whole family.

The image and sound offer a stunning look and feel. If only the features could have been more lengthy and in-depth.

For those who like the Dreamworks characters, give this one a try. And if you love cats, you should definitely consider it :)

If you like Puss...and if you like boots!! you'll die after watching puss in boots!!

this cat is so tight, you won't know what hit you.

While you watch it, you may wonder...hmm...why am i crying? it's cuz it's happy man-tears of overwhelming satisfaction. wives...girlfriends...give your man some tissue for his man-tears or he'll just be in the fetal position as tears slide off his cheeks.

now go. fulfill your destiny and purchase this on blu-ray. you need to see every whiskers and hair on this puss' body.

i said GO!!

C'est un très bon film à écouter, autant pour les adultes que les enfants. Un parfait cadeau de Noël !

The ingredients are all there. Fun & charismatic character (Puss), several interesting secondary characters (Kitty Galore, Humpty et al), interesting twist on an origin story and fantastic animation. Zach Galifianakis even gives a rather surprisingly meaningful performance. Despite all this, I found myself squirming between the good parts and longing for this movie to end. For me, the pieces just didn`t add up and the feel of the movie felt off. It just felt like there was no spark that kept the first 2 Shreks energized. Keep in mind, I am a 33 year old somewhat picky male with a hunger for fun and intelligent toons.

Definitely worth at least one viewing via a rental or borrowed, but I would not see this movie again any time soon let alone own it.

Puss in Boots(released Oct/11)stars Antonio Banderas back in the lead voice of Shrek's beloved character....Puss in Boots,of course.This animated film,from the same people at Dreamworks that gave us the Shrek franchise,features Puss in his own back story of his earlier life and how he became an outlaw,of sorts.
The plot takes place in San Ricardo as Puss in Boots returns to his hometown.He walks into a bar and is made fun of by the locals,until he gets the one up on someone who tries to sneak up on him from behind.With his rapier under the man`s chin he questions everyone as to what he could steal,and the magic beans come up.It seems Jack(billy Bob Thornton)and Jill(Amy Sedaris)have arrived in town with said magical beans.Puss thought they were just legend until he sneaks into Jack and Jills room at the hotel and sees them for himself.However there is a rival on scene,a cat dressed in a bat-like costume,also there to steal the beans.They argue and before you know it Jack and Jill are on their cases.They flee and Puss follows the rival to a bar,where the two dance fight.
After the ``fight``,the rival reveals that it is a she-cat,not a he as Puss/we first thought.This is Kitty Soft Paws(Salma Hayek),a self styled thief who has a definite knack for pocket picking.She introduces a friend to Puss,Humpty Dumpty,who is Puss`s old friend but turned enemy.Humpty wants Puss to forgive him and work with he and Kitty to restore their reps and their friendship by helping steal the magic beans.Once they have the beans they can go to the giants castle in the air,steal the Golden Goose,and pay back the town for their past misdeeds.
Puss walks out,unable to trust Humpty at all.It is at this point we get a back story to Humpty and Puss`s animosity.Both grew up in an orphanage in town and became fast friends.Humpty would think of schemes and have inventive ideas which Puss always played along with.As they grew older Humpty`s schemes were getting the pair in trouble more often than not.When Humpty raided the San Ricardo bank,Puss had had enough.With the law on their tail they fled,but their wagon loaded with loot,cascaded over a bridge and down into a river far below.Puss escaped but Humpty was left behind and caught and thrown in prison.
Puss,after persuasion from Kitty,eventually relents and agrees to help the pair retrieve the beans.Jack and Jill are heading out of town through the desert and it is here,Humpty has reasoned, would be the best place to rob the pair of their valuable cargo.A long but dangerous chase ensues with the beans exchanging hands constantly until the trio finally have their treasure.They follow Humpty`s directions and stop to plant the beans in a spot,which they are certain to grow in.A dark cloud comes over and pours down water on the beans.Only a small sprout pops up,but a few seconds go by and boom,the stalk grows and rises up and up,until it eventually reaches the clouds.The trio play for a short time in the clouds,during which their voices sound like chipmunks.When they get into the castle the air pressure changes and their voices return to normal.They find the goose,a not much bigger than them chick.It is laying eggs they can barely pick up.They grab it and return home.
While celebrating their victory Puss is knocked out by Jack.When he comes to and walks into town Puss finds Humpty and others laughing at Puss.It seems Jack and Jill,Kitty and Humpty himself,were all in on a con to sucker Puss back into town so he could be arrested.Humpty becomes a hero and Puss is taken to the slammer.In jail Puss meets up with Jack,of Jack and the Beanstalk fame.Now old,he warns Puss that Humpty doesn`t have THE goose,but its offspring and the real Golden Goose,its mother,will be back looking for her baby.And in fact this is what happens as the big bird appears,roaming through the town.Kitty helps Jack and Puss escape and she and Puss help to return the Gooses`s gosling to its mum.In the struggle though Humpty gets taken up by the Golden Goose into the clouds along with her chick.Puss is returned as a hero to the townsfolk,but someone forgot to inform the law as they still pursue him.And Puss and Kitty...well,you`ll have to watch for yourself.
This film is just a wonderful movie from start to finish.There are few slow spots at all and the story is highly inventive.You will find yourself laughing at all the twists and turns this story takes,especially where the fairy tale folks are concerned.
Technically speaking the film is clear and crisp in its 1:78:1 a/r.Extras include deleted scenes,a featurette on the actors who did the voices and trailers.
All in all a puurfect addition to your family movie library,and if you own the Shrek franchise like I do,it is also a perfect addition to that.However,don`t think you will have needed to have seen a Shrek movie,as this film firmly stands on its own two feet,er paws! Great fum the whole family can watch.Highly recommended.

I received the product in a timely manner. The quality of DVD & Blu-Ray is in very good condition. The story is good and funny. I would recommend this product.
