Director Chris Miller delivers a film more satisfying than his last ( Shrek The Third), and Henry Jackman’s music is excellent, too.
It’s a pity, because Puss In Boots is technically impressive, and a solid, often very entertaining 90 minutes of animated fun. There are moments where you find yourself not only thinking you’ve seen something like this before, but also – and appreciating the different settings for the respective films – that you’ve seen it six months ago, from the same company. The problem, for this reviewer at least, was that’s also what it did with its earlier 2011 release, Kung Fu Panda 2, and there’s a sense that Puss In Boots is diluted a little by consequence of the saturation of DreamWorks Animation product. However, the small matter of some magic beans has them working in tandem, and also provides the grounding for some of the film’s most ambitious moments.īecause what Puss In Boots proves again is that DreamWorks Animation can put together fast, fluid action sequences, the ilk of which lend themselves very strongly to the format. Turns out that Puss and Humpty were friends when they were younger, but an incident in the past has driven them apart. Storywise, even though it’s a film that’s not directly attached to the Shrek movies, it’s clearly in the same universe, and so this time, Humpy Dumpty – voiced by Zach Galifianakis – is brought into the story.
