The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It didn't get spent on the animation, which would have looked jerky and puppetish in the 1990s, featuring those nightmarish, lumpy, last-potato-in-the-sack faces that Le French consider to represent character.It certainly didn't show through in the English script, which was about as pedestrian, plodding, basic and unimaginative as it's possible to be. Was that a deliberate protest by Le Writers? You can do better, much better, in the language of Shakespeare.Editing? I doubt there was any: every frame of what passes for animation made it on screen.Cast? Well, they spoke their lines comprehensibly, but every voice actor picked a single intonation and stuck with it resolutely through every scene. They may have literally phoned it in.The music? It's the highlight, if the smug, repetitive nasal yowling that passes for French artistry is your thing.Ah! Wait, there's a monkey! Who has an awful interpretation of an Afro-Caribbean voice, because of course that's where monkeys come from. It's definitely not casual French racism. No, sir, the thought never crossed my mind.It's a underwhelming mess from start to finish. A six year old in the room was happy enough to howl along with the singing, but eight and nine year olds were past it, and it was unremitting torture for the adults.Avoid if at all possible.

I saw this movie on a DVD that contains 4 movies. I never watched all of them, I only watched 2 and they were all crappy. The True Story of Puss'n'Boots was one of them.Unlike the other movie ( Legend of the Sea ) it was the "boring" kind of bad. Seriously ! The're more cons than pros for this movie PROS : + Has a little bit of character development CONS : - All the characters are annoying ! Especially the cat, the monkey, the chamberlain and the queen.It is too unrealistically looking to be called THE TRUE STORY of Puss'n'Boots - Doesn't catch at all the spirit of the original fairy tale. This is the biggest example that I can get. The ogre transformations True Story The Movie Lion and mouse Squid and duck My rating : a 3 out of 10 don't watch it

I was disappointed to find out that I didn't get to see Puss In Boots but I decided to give it a chance anyway because I love fairy tales. I was curious to see what the makers of this movie had done with the original story of Puss In Boots. The characters look horrible and the music is awful. The princess annoyed me from the first moment when she started to sing and dance because she's not very good at either and I couldn't stop staring at her giant hips. The king sleeps all the time and might as well not have been there and the queen sounds like a drunken Roseanne Barr throughout the entire movie. The interaction between the villain and his helper was meant to be funny I guess in an Igor/evil doctor sort of way but it completely fails at it. As for the story; that really disappointed me as well. I had hoped it would be more like the original fairytale. Why are there palm trees, a parrot and ostriches when the story is set in northern Europe? In the original fairytale the ogre is a giant who is a powerful sorcerer and the cat tricks him into changing himself into a mouse so he can eat him and free the people from its evil. I think it's an important part of the story which has completely disappeared in the movie. Perhaps it works better in French but I highly doubt it.

The sole purpose of creating films like these is to attempt to fool consumers into renting the wrong movie. Yes, looking really carefully on the cover can help avoid this sometimes (assuming you know what the "real" one actually looks like, and take the time to check in detail), but the companies that produce these kinds of films are just looking to make a quick buck. These movies are constantly released through outlets such as Redbox.Second, the movie is dull, extremely shallow and poorly written, that any Saturday morning cartoon is far superior to this rubbish. I will rarely criticize a movie on visual/technical qualities, but for ones that do a terrible job at the most basic story-telling I have little tolerance. Many of the sequences for even annoying and silly.
