This movie compared to every other HIGHLY promoted animated movie in the past three years is simply marvellous for audiences above the age of like 7. Since it does contain small amounts of blood, MILD swears, one or two like hell or something, no F-bombs however, it shows characters "Dying" but in an animated cartoony fashion not in live action Gorey bloody fashion, just "DINK" and the characters died. It does depict "Death" as an actual entity within the story which hunts puss in boots down, it is a bit scary ill give the creators that, but not as scary as "Aliens" or "Friday the thirteenth" or even "Halloween" it shouldn't scare most seven year old.
The movie itself is marvelous, the animation quality far EXCEEDS its previous style, adaption, improvement and evolution is key to making animated movies, those who cannot see this are stuck in the past and might stay there, the majority who do see the movie are new kids seeing the rise of an amazing movie which actually gives a good message, versus adults who grew up with the dream-works renaissance movies like, Shrek, How to train your dragon, Kung fu Panda, The bad guys, the amazing Prince of Egypt, Madagascar, the croods.
The list goes on and it hopefully will continue to go on and slowly overshadow the horrible MODERN Disney, people have been saying puss in boots is from disney for some reason? when it is from one of the better animation studios and nearly the only competitor to disney right now.
Dreamworks! really is making dreams work!
Disney doesn't make dreams work, it makes you hand over your wallet for every shoddy movie and "REMAKE" they push out.
Disney is the company who sent out "Strange world" without any marketing to tank on last thanksgiving it wasn't even that bad, it was an alright film compared to what Modern Disney plops out.
Disney is the company who sent out turning red, which was a horrible "growing up" story about girls when they hit puberty, making the main MC turn into a red monster during this time and sell her monster form as an influencer to gain money was even worse.
Disney is the company who joined the 2022 "Pinocchio craze" still somehow making the worst film out of all of them, EVEN THE TERRIBLY 5 DOLLAR PRODUCTION BUDGET ONE WAS FUNNIER AND ENTERTAINING.
Getting back on point, if you are looking for a movie which isn't just "sympathetic villain can be redeemed by saying a few words at the end or showing them they were wrong blah, blah"
Puss in boot the last wish is indeed made for you.
Animation 10/10 its a cross between spider man into the spider-verse and dream-works animation, fluid, expressive not boring.
Storytelling 10/10
the story was about puss and death mainly, it featured darker themes, ultimately puss did come out victorious once again, with a new outlook on life and with a good message.
Characters 9.8/10
Almost all the characters I adore, love even, the only one I think could've been written a little better is baby bear even though they were mostly comic relief, some of their lines compared to the other characters were a bit jarring.
Theme and message 100/10
Compared to the other poorly executed animated films of 2022 it executed its message and themes as flawlessly as a movie with a limited screen-time could, we have one life, make it count, or other dark themes like what happened to the dog or kitty even.
Or even a few light hearted messages sprinkled in with Goldilocks and the three bears.
