I really love how they explored Puss's character in this film. I always saw him as someone with a lot of potential for depth and they really worked with that - giving him a newfound fear of death, tackling his lone wolf mindset, and letting him explore what really gave his life meaning. The supporting cast was great. None of them felt out of place, and even though there were a lot of characters, each of them got their spotlight and contributed to the central themes of the story. The animation was vibrant, creative, and graphic, and this new style really adds to the setting. One of the best animated movies of 2022 for sure!

The desserts are well-made and Amaury is a kind and skilled instructor, but there is just one problem I have. The contestants have too much petty drama among themselves for my tastes. It's not nearly as bad as Masterchef US or Hell's kitchen, but I'm 3 episodes in and they're throwing shade at each other, crying every episode, etc and a dude nearly cut off his finger. Some scenes sound scripted, and there's also unnecessary drama fabricated by the structure of the show itself. There was one challenge where they had to arbitrarily pick two people to sit out, and a tie-breaker vote. More wholesome cooking/pastry shows would be bake squad or Masterchef Canada. Also, it seems like chef Amaury Guichon is a tiny bit biased to me, for some parts. I can't make the call, because I'm not the expert, but sometimes the contestants don't get their due credit.

Culturally inaccurate, failed women's empowerment, and unenjoyable.
