The Cat. The Myth. The Legend.
The Boots. Purr-fectly Meowtastic!
Puss in Boots kind of surprised me to be honest?
I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did... It's far more wittier than I expected it to be, nicely animated, has a lot of heart and features a charming story of forgiveness and redemption that is perfect for the whole family!
Just like the Shrek films before it, Puss in Boots takes classic fairy tale characters and stories, and turns them on their head to create a fun and compelling story.
Better than it has any right to be, Puss in Boots is not only action packed and clever, but also reignites the Shrek universe with renewed purpose, and renewed heart... The film also has an entertaining Western style to it too which I enjoyed.
Just like Puss's sword, the storytelling is sharp!
Antonio Banderas IS Puss in Boots!
Originally breathing life into this little feline when he first appeared in the hugely popular Shrek 2, Banderas' vocal agility and ability is unparalleled.
The dynamic that he brings to Puss is multi-dimensional, emotionally challenging and fulfilling, and above all, fantastico!
Admitting that he and Puss are 'very much alike... (Both swashbucklers, fancy-footed dancers and Latin lovers!) You can genuinely hear the joy, the excitement, the passion, the humour, with every syllable.
Self-deprecating and dashing in character, Banderas captures the essence, nay, is the essence of Puss!
It's as if Banderas himself is living each adventure and is up on that screen himself!
There is nothing cold or flat in his voice performance and with every deep dulcet tone one hears coming out of this ginger cat, it just ramps up the inherent humour in the dichotomy of it all.
Zach Galifianakis is a devil of an egg and eggs-ceptional as Humpty Alexander Dumpty.
Giving an almost squeaky creepy tone to Humpty's voice, it sets the vocal tenor for the deceitful and duplicitous nature of the character itself... Salma Hayek is a confident sultry joy as Kitty Softpaws.
Her vocal infliction and intonation spans the emotional spectrum, and as with Banderas, in particular, she is so dynamic you can almost see Hayek herself locked in a spinning tango in the sky!
Overall, Puss in Boots is a creative, witty, original and fun story for the whole family!
There is a moral message here that is told without being too preachy.
The script is full of life, originality, humour and double entendres which are punctuated with slick humour thanks to the all-star voice cast!
These Boots are made for watchin...
