RogerBorg 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.

Jeff Ferguson So, just to start... this movie is obviously not the newer Puss In Boots that was attached to the Shrek movie franchise. This is a whole different movie and, not, as some on here would have you believe, trying to cash in on the Shrek movie... mostly because this movie came out two years before the Shrek movie.That said, this is an odd film. My kids turned it on via Netflix streaming and when I joined them for a minute, I couldn't turn away.For starters, you can tell it's Shatner doing the voice of Puss quite easily, so there's a little mind eff going on almost immediately. The way he carries himself, you expect him to break into Rocket Man at any moment. Then, the animation is a little, um, different. It really looks like the very non-fluid movement that you see in the Korean news animations that have become popular lately, but with better developed characters. Plus, it's not that the characters are "dirty" or anything, but, you do see a little more cleavage than you would in, say, a Disney flick... or a Shrek or any other US created movie.The story is also a bit more, um, European, I guess. It's hard to describe. Growing up watching US cartoons, you don't realize how weird some of the old fairy tales really are in their original form. This story is more like the old stories and has some visual elements that would probably be really enjoyable if you were on various mind-altering substances.All that in mind, the kids ate it up and actually ended up watching it again the next day. So, give it a watch, be prepared for the weird, and use your friggin' head when you think it's a "rip off" of something that came out two years later.

benjaminbrobertson-255-788342 This film is not fit for the American viewing audience...(pause while I vomit....regain my composure). What am I hearing?...a middle schooler's impersonation of a crazy grandmother? No, that's William Shatner trying to disguise Captain Kirk's voice. Let's not compare this to other movies with cats that wear boots. Let's judge it on it's own merits. For starters, never dub a movie. Not even a cartoon. It is horrifying to watch lips that don't match the audio. Subtitles would have been more bearable. Secondly, the plot is so boring my wife has banned my Red Box privileges. To watch paint dry is more entertaining than this film.

sd-106 Claims that this is trying to cash in on the Shrek movie may be true, we thought that was what we were renting. Still, when we realized, we were not disappointed and were willing to give it a try...Only to be severely disappointed. The story is not compelling, the characters are unsympathetic and ugly in both visage and voice. The animation is weak and odd (and not in the cool good way). We waited for it to get better but it just trundled along in mediocrity. I fell asleep somewhere a little after halfway despite giving it my best. The survivors reported it was as bad through to the end.I was intrigued to find out it is from France as it did have that vibe that used to come from several foreign-produced cartoons when I was younger (Dogtanion, around the world in 80 days etc). I think it's the way they try and cram the English language into French-animated mouths. Indeed, this may have succeeded more as a traditional cartoon, possibly a series.To sum up, not worth watching. Go track down the Christopher Walken live-action version. I stumbled on it by accident one day and ended up watching it all the way through, spellbound.
