Puss in Boots - 2011 ****



Before Puss's adventures with Donkey and Shrek, he was having quite a few adventures of his own after teaming up with Humpty Dumpty (an egg of unusual sorts) and Kitty Softpaws. Puss has been searching for Jack and Jill's magic beans his whole life, and so when he meets Kitty and is reunited with Humpty (his long-time friend from the orphanage where they were both raised) they decide to go searching for them, hoping to eventually find the golden goose eggs kept at the top of the beanstalk.

I must say that if it wasn't from Banderas, this film wouldn't be half the success it is. His voice matches the image you have of the cat and he's so perfect for the role. A spanish cat is spot on. The others are great, and there are many humourous moments spoofing well-known adventure films, as well as some very funny parts when we see Puss take full advantage of his 'feline' role.

It's a good story, and very enjoyable, and I don't think any of the other characters from Shrek could have carried a whole film on their shoulders. Puss is the best!!
