This is just an adorable animated film with Puss In Boots as a swashbuckling outlaw of medieval Spain. The error most family-oriented films make these days is that they either end up too boring for kids or too inane for adults. Sometimes they manage to do both, but his film manages to avoid both of those traps. It's full of great action sequences - they almost overdo this - and some meaningful scenes between the characters. Like many Dreamworks films, there is considerable backstory that is told through flashbacks so you know how the characters got to this point. It talks about the importance of friendship and family and the importance of owning up to and correcting past mistakes and there isn't a political agenda anywhere to be seen. There is so much of that lately in film - I'm looking at you Disney - that maybe this refreshing lack of an agenda was more common in films from a dozen years ago and I just don't remember it.
I will say that, if you are somebody who appreciates the cat and their unique behavior quirks, their blatant emotional manipulation, and graceful movement that you will probably get some added enjoyment out of this.
