Death is one of if not the best DreamWorks antagonist ever. His whistle still sends shivers up my spine. I like how, at the start, Puss was bragging about having "never been touched by a blade." So the moment Death was actually able to cut him, Puss became a scared, anxious mess. It's the moment he realized that he's not invincible after all.

also THANK YOU for being one of the few folks out there to recognize that Death is an ANTAGONIST to the story, not an actual villain. Death takes personal insult to Boots because he "laughs" at the face of death, but him wanting Boots to face his own mortality is NOT villainous behavior, that's just something everyone has to do eventually anyways!

@@thekaijusleepsI actually disagree, although I completely understand why people would say he’s an antagonist, because in real life death is just a force of nature. In this movie however, Death is a villain because he is getting revenge on puss for the callous way he treats his lives. He wanted to kill puss early out of spite, and although he changes his mind at the end, it’s only because he realizes he won’t get any satisfaction out of it. He even says “why the hell did I play with my food. Your ruining this for me”, which shows he had no intention of teaching puss anything and is actually angry that puss learned to value his life. An antagonistic death is a completely apathetic character that would have no quarrel with puss despite his arrogant nature, and certainly wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to torture and then kill anyone.
"At what point in the process did the animators regret agreeing to do the beard?" Funny you should ask. According the director, the animators kept asking if there was a way to write the beard out of the story earlier. But the beard had to stay as long as it did because it symbolizes how Puss walls himself off from others. I don't think it's a coincidence that the gatito blade is what cuts it away. (The director discusses the beard in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqt_qtyLcceomMY.html )

23:14 Yep! Ashes, ashes, we all fall down (dead). Perrito's map is _secretly_ horrible; the River of Relaxation is the River Styx, and Quick and Easy Solutions? That's "taking the easy way out." I knew this was going to be something else when Puss _bled,_ but wow.

The animation, especially in action scenes has half as many frames. This means there is far less smearing, and it means that when you pause the film, each frame looks like art from a comic book. They also used a similar technique to Spiderverse, except instead of cell-shading, they used a pastel watercolour, to make it look like a fairy tale book come to life. It's really a tour de force of what Animation can be used for.

It also is interesting in the fight scene after Puss throws the stick and Perrito gets snatched by Jack, there are times when Puss is not in the fight and he is moving at the normal frame rate while the people fighting in the background are moving at the halved frame rate. You can tell whether someone is participating in a fight based on their frame rate.

I like how the map doesn't really make the "road to your wish" your life, but instead it's how you perceive your life. So for example, Perrito's thrown into the water, but he saw it as fun, so he has a river of relaxation. It's like if you can see how something bad in your life made you stronger, or see the good in it, it makes your path to what you wish in life easier.
When I went to see this in the theater, it was just me and a mom with her young kids. During the first Wolf scene, one of the children said "I hate this" and it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

When I went to see The Lion King, there was a little kid (maybe 4-5 years old) who started crying when the hyenas chased Simba and Nala in the elephant graveyard, so his parents had to leave with him. Yeah, animated movies are for kids. Or not. Sure, some animated movies are for kids, but Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and the likes, typically are not. If you keep the story and jokes, but replace the animations with live action and real actors, people would call them action comedies.

Yes, adding onto that: The second blade was a blade he got from having people close to him and letting them enrich and improve his quality of life. He did not have them earlier, so he was not equipped to face Death, both metaphorically and literally. Him using that particular blade as his secondary weapon is a metaphor.
A lot of elements here are not something kids would understand. Traumatic backstories, anxiety attacks and death. Behind the incredible colors and animation this movie is pretty dark. Its a masterpiece tbh

I am a literal teenager, I don’t usually get scared by movies, but DEATH?? That guy made me paranoid, like looking behind me to make sure he isn’t there😭💀💀 I’ve never been so scared of a dream works villain, let alone in my teens. HUGE applause to those who worked on Puss In Boots (Side note, I can’t believe that a side character in Shrek got a spin-off series that OUT-RATED The Avatar movie)
My hot take for the Pocket full of Posies scene is: when Puss and Kitty are held hostage and one of the flowers is lifting up Perrito, I imagine that flower is showing Perrito off to its counterparts like "hey, look, this one gets it!"
23:30 "a Pocket full of posies" is not about the Black Death. It’s just a very wide-spread nursery rhyme where you dance around and then fall down. But it became common in victorian times to ascribe the darkest possible origin stories to nursery rhymes, with very sketchy historical speculations.

There's almost a storybook element to the animation, like it's taken right out of a children's library, which is so fitting for this movie.
You guys got the pocket full of posies bit, but all his are dark. The river of relaxation, as in when he almost drown. The field of quick and easy solutions is a 'self deletion' reference.
The wolf putting the coins on the eyes is a reference to Ancient Greek funerals were they would put coins on the dead’s eyes so there could take the boat to the underworld aposed to swimming.
23:22 is great that you saw that, thats a reference to the plage, there is also a reference to drawning and suicide in perritos map, but he decide how to see it and reember it, thats perritos character.

14:51 Well that got heavy out of nowhere.
30:15 it's really beautiful how this part explores how sometimes you have wishes but you don't realize you already have what you wish for and goldilocks and the bears she wanted to wish for her human family back and the wish thing told her you already what you wish is already in front of you and then the house showing her how she already has a family.
The Lobo voice actor (Wagner) was Pablo Escobar from the “Narcos” Netflix series
5:15 creative director of the movie said the opening was based on Attack on Titan, specifically the ending sequences of one of the earlier episodes
Lmfao i never noticed Mama Bear just stroking a cat while they're at mama Luna's
I will be completely honest. I'm not a Shrek fan. I've maybe seen the first two movies, but I never watched the first Puss in Boots, let alone the series (though, I did catch my daughter watching it, so I was aware of it). I... _loved_ this movie. If I hadn't heard people talking about the wolf, I never would have watched this movie in the first place, but I'm very glad that I did. I mean, it is an eleven-year-later sequel to a spinoff of a franchise which had so much bile aimed at Disney... and yet... it delivers one of the most complex, emotionally compelling narratives about coming to terms with the difference between what you think you want and what you actually need, interpersonal relationships, mortality, and legacy. How in the name of all that is good and holy did they pull that off?!? Also, I'm not going to lie. I'm kind of on the wolf's side. At the start of the movie, Puss doesn't care who or what he steps on (I mean, in Puss' position, I'd have probably hesitated to step on a kid's face), and he is throwing a party in the governor's home, which would have resulted in everyone being thrown in jail, and he is so flashy and showy that he winds up putting everyone at the party in a whole extra level of danger from the giant. It almost doesn't _matter_ that he saved them after, he was just fixing a problem that he created. And I love how Death shows up in the chase, because Puss is right back to showing off, even as he _uses_ the people on the streets as a tool in his getaway. Great. He gave them money. It wasn't a sacrifice on his part, it was just money that... happened to be in the back of the cart that they stole. Still, it would have been _very_ easy for those horses to not stop in time... or at all, and run those people over, injuring them if not killing them. At the start of the movie Puss is the "hero" because he's good at spinning it and convincing people that he isn't just a reckless showboater with no regard for anyone's life, especially his own. But, by the end of the movie... he's an _actual_ hero, able to have meaningful relationships with others, and value life. So. Live your life, Puss.
This movie took huuuuge influence from "into the spiderverse", and I love that.
I liked that you brought up that 2 on 2 weapons On the last scene. Puss showed signs of a changed man because his second weapon came from softpaws. His old self would never take help.
I loved the first Puss in Boots movie. It had been so long since that one that I wasn't sure if the sequel was ever coming. I was so happy when an official release date was finally announced. And it was definitely worth the wait!😺
Wagner Moura the voice of the wolf plays Pablo Escobar in Naros, it would be worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet.
Death is based on the folkloric character of the Grim Reaper, whereas the tune he whistles is based on The Silbón, a legend associated with the Los Llanos region of Colombia and Venezuela.
23:19 Thank you for this clarification. I wasn't familiar with it, and although I've seen many reviews and reactions to this movie no one else has addressed this particular theme. Every time I come back to this film or its reviews, it shows me more elements that I had overlooked. Enjoyed watching your reaction. Thank you for your time and I send my sincerest greetings from Poland!

Randomly when i was in 1st grade my school put on a play of a bunch of nursery rhymes and I was Little Jack Horner. Glad to see my boy grown up
i love that whenever he's close to death, the wolf is close
Just putting that out there, the nursery rhyme Ring a Round the Rosie might have existed before the Plague and has nothing to do with it. There is no evidence of any connection between the two. The Plague thing is a speculation. Great reactions to this fun movie.
I'm very glad I wasn't drinking anything when she whispered 'Bad Dragon'. If you don't know why that was funny, go ahead and Google it.
I like how even early on they hint that the Wolf is Death-the coins over the eyes is a reference to the (apparent) practise of doing the same to the dead as payment for the ferryman (some say the Greeks did this but we don't actually have proof of that, in fact it's usually put in/on the mouth).

Exactly, it's about the journey, not the destination. Like that game, Alice Madness Returns, the ending is mentally scarring where awful truths are revealed about the main protagonist and the world she inhabits, forcing them to come to grips with said reality and moving on from the trauma the truth has caused. But the journey is an adventure through various technicolor, fairy tale inspired environments, taking in the sights as you platform, shoot, hack, and slash your way to adventure. Yes, you'll see some horrifying shit along the way, but that's what fantasy is all about, right? The journey!!!!
