Product Description Way before he ever met Shrek, the legendary Puss in Boots goes on a heroic journey, teaming up with mastermind Humpty Dumpty and the street-savvy Kitty Softpaws to steal the famed goose that lays the Golden Eggs. desertcart.co.uk Review In this fractured fairy tale, Jack and Jill have the magic beans and Humpty Dumpty, with the aid of Kitty Softpaws, convinces his old friend Puss in Boots to help him steal the beans so they can climb the beanstalk to get to the golden eggs. Never mind that Humpty Dumpty and Puss in Boots had a falling out years ago, or that Jack and Jill are completely preoccupied by their squabbling over whether or not to have a child--and regardless that Puss in Boots is a wanted cat who's sworn off his thieving ways, and Kitty Softpaws is a cat burglar who works alone. Comedy abounds in this film, not only in the twists and turns of some classic fairy tales gone awry, but with scenes that range from a litter-box dance fight between crowds of cats to Jack expressing his paternal instincts by strapping on a baby carrier filled with a piglet in a diaper, and, of course, Puss in Boots' crafty use of his famous sad eyes to get just what he wants. The animation is top-notch (especially in the mass cat scenes), the music is compelling, and the voice talents of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zack Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Amy Sedaris are solid. While considered by some to be a prequel of sorts to the four Shrek films, Puss in Boots is definitely a stand-alone spinoff. What the films do share is a common comedic interpretation of some well-known fairy-tale characters and knack for spinning a funny story that appeals to both kids and adults. While a heightened sense of peril and some extended fight scenes may prove a bit intense for the youngest and most sensitive audience members, Puss in Boots is generally appropriate for ages 7 and older. --Tami Horiuchi Review: Fun Movie With Fabulous Music Score! - I bought this at Xmas to provide some entertainment since the television companies don't seem to make that much of an effort these days, i was aware of the character from the Shrek sequels and was looking forward to viewing it on my new 60 inch 3D television, it comes supplied with a nice slipcase cover and the packaging actually looks really cool. The film itself was great, very inventive script, fabulous music score that stays in your head for weeks after you watch the movie, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek were on fine voice form and there was amazing use of depth to the 3D image, there was also a couple of good pop out moments although not that many, this film is more about 3D depth than pop out, nonetheless i enjoyed it's use of 3D. I think children and adults can enjoy this film and i am looking forward to the announced sequel, i thought about knocking a star off because i think it could be sold cheaper but then i remembered that it is cheaper than many PIxar 3D titles so i decided to just call it 5 stars. P.S. Don't forget to watch the animated short, The Three Diablos, it's part of the extra content and its also in 3D and very entertaining. Review: Colourful animation fun! - I first took an interest in this movie, not because it was a spin-off from the Shrek franchise, but because it was to do with cats. I wanted to finally see a computer-animated as opposed to just cartoon movie that treated the subject of cats in a new and appealing way. Walt Disney's 'Aristocats' was a bit dated by now, you see. I saw this movie advertised and decided I wanted to see it, but I missed it on the big screen cinema so the next best thing was to wait for the pre-ordered DVD to arrive from desertcart. It arrived as promised, and believe me I wasn't disappointed. It lived up to and possibly surpassed expectations. I was not expecting it to be like a fairy-story with swashbuckling animated character to boot, until I was reminded of his role in Shrek. I have only seen one Shrek movie, the first, so knew little about the character, but for me this did it. Everything about it is beautiful, romantic, daring and adventurous and this is now one of my favourite movies of all time-near the top of the list. I would recommend it as a present to anyone who likes animated movies. It is both endearing and enduring, a real charmer. I should know because it had me engrossed from the start. My mother shall be its next convert this Easter, I believe. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Colourful animation fun!
I first took an interest in this movie, not because it was a spin-off from the Shrek franchise, but because it was to do with cats. I wanted to finally see a computer-animated as opposed to just cartoon movie that treated the subject of cats in a new and appealing way. Walt Disney's 'Aristocats' was a bit dated by now, you see.

Fab!
Haven't watched the DVD yet, it only arrived a few hours ago. I love the Shrek films, and Puss in Boots is my favourite character. So now he has a story of his own. Perfect (purrfect - sorry, couldn't resist) to add to my Shrek DVDs, all arrived in excellent condition, very pleased with my purchase, thank you, great service.

Very Enjoyable Movie!
Despite thinking this would be a little inferior to Shrek, I found it to be as good, if not better than Shrek! The storyline is very good, the charactors are very funny & whitty, & the animtion is superb! The main charactor of this films of course is "Puss In Boots", he steals the show all the way through, he is always making you laugh many a time through this movie. The action sequences are amazing! The animation combined with the fantastic storyline and the humor make for one of the best family animated movies around! This film is not to be missed! Now on to the product its self: The film comes in a standard blu-ray box with three editions of the film. Blu-ray, DVD & a digital copy. Each edition coms in useful a lot. The Blu-ray is obviously the main version which contains masses of extras pluss amazing picture quality! DVD is useful for if you want to take it to a friends house or to watch on a portable DVD player, but the picture quality is obviously not as good. And the digital version is a nice addition too, you simply insert the DVD copy into your PC or Mac, a screen will come up, then you enter the code that is included inside the box. Then you select weather you want to use iTunes or Media Player, then within secconds its saved to your computer & ready to watch any time without a disc! The only flaw with it is that it is only DVD quality, but nevertheless, its a nice touch! I reccomend this to anyone who is looking for an entertaining, fun family film! Hope you too enjoy it!

Natürlich kann ich an dieser Stelle noch nichts über die Qualität der DVD/BluRay sagen - sie ist ja noch nicht draußen -; liefere das allerdings nach, denn den Film muss ich kaufen ("muss" im Sinne von meine Kinder verlangen dies seit dem Kinoerlebnis). Der gestiefelte Kater ist zwar als Prequal zu den Shrek-Abenteuern zu verstehen, aber auch als ganz eigenständiger Film zu genießen. Ob man die Filme um das große grüne Etwas kennt oder nicht, spielt einfach keine Rolle. Der Film ist ein Mix verschiedener Kindermärchen und Reime. Es spielen mit: natürlich der Gestiefelte Kater, Hans im Glück, die Gans, die goldene Eier legt, Hans und die Bohnenranke, Humpty Dumpty, ... (die Aufzählung ist bestimmt nicht vollzählig). Den Machern des Films ist es gelungen, die Anleihen an die Kindergeschichten zu verweben und eine eigene Geschichte entstehen zu lassen. Für Kinder, die zu Hause auch Märchen hören, hat der Film hohen Wiedererkennungswert. Im Gegensatz zu den Shrek-Filmen, zu denen ich nie so richtig den Zugang gefunden habe, ist dieser Film schnell erzählt, mit einer Menge kindgerechter Action angehäuft und mit Liebe zum Detail animiert. Inhaltlich geht es - kurz erzählt - darum, dass sich Humpty Dumpty und der Gestiefelte Kater gemeinsam auf den Weg machen, goldene Eier in einem Himmelsschloss zu suchen. Natürlich haben sich Humpty Dumpty und der gestiefelte Kater als Kinder überworfen und so ist das Wiederaufleben der Beziehung etwas schwierig; insbesondere da noch eine Katzendame - Kitty Samtpfote - auftaucht. Das Trio macht sich auf die sagenumwobenen magischen Bohnen, um das Schloss der Gans im Himmel zu finden... und am Ende, ... ja am Ende ist alles anders als man zwischenzeitlich denkt. Der Film ist einfach toll den aktuellen Maßstäben animiert und mit netten Anekdoten gespickt: wer zu Hause eine Katze hat, wird es lustig finden, wie der gestiefelte Kater einem Lichtpunkt hinterher jagd, wie er bei dem Tanzduell mit Kitty Samtpfote tanzt und und und. Im Kino lachten alle Kinder fast unentwegt durch und erschraken sich an mancher Stelle, was danach mit lautem Lachen quittiert wurde. Spannende Szenen (die Suche nach den Eiern im Schloss) wechseln sich mit lustigen oder actiongeladenen Szenen ab. Kinder werden nicht enttäuscht. Aber auch für Erwachsene sind Witze dabei, die die Kinder noch nicht verstehen (für alle die den Film gesehen haben, verweise ich auf die Szene in der Kneipe, in der dem gestifelten Kater die Geschichte im die goldenen Eier mit den Tattoos eines Gastes erzählt wird). Der Film leidet aus meiner Sicht überhaupt nicht an langatmigen oder gar unnötigen Szenen. Insgesamt ist das ein sehr gelungener Familienfilm. ----- Nachtrag vom 26.04.2012 Die Qualität der Bluray ist atemberaubend, man sieht jedes einzelne Härchen der Katzen. Der Sound ist auf einer 5.1-Anlage toll und man fühlt sich förmlich in den Film hineingezogen. Fast bin ich geneigt zu sagen, die Qualität ist nochmal deutlich besser und das ganze Erlebnis besser als im Kino. Einfach toll. Dieser Film gehört aus meiner sich zu den besseren Bluray-Produktionen. Was erwartet uns noch auf der Bluray? Ein kleiner Tanzkurs, eine Reportage über eine richtige lebendige Katze in Californien, die räubernd durch ihr Viertel zieht und kleine Spielsachen bei den Nachbarn mitgehen lässt, ein kleines Spiel und noch so dies und das. Nicht wirklich was Aufregendes. Herauszustellen bleibt allerdings ein kleiner netter Kurzfilm, in dem der gestiefelte Kater von einer Königin auf den Weg geschickt wird, den Rubin aus ihrer Krone dem Wisperer (der Bösewicht, der das Ding geklaut hat) wieder abzunehmen. Ihm im Weg stehen allerdings drei kleine Kätzchen, die für den Wisperer arbeiten. Klar gelingt es dem Kater letztlich... aber selber schauen.

Personnage secondaire dans la saga Shrek, le Chat Potté a bien vite pris son indépendance : ce premier opus est formidable, entre humour percutant, mise en scène réaliste et rythmée et performances artistiques de très haute tenue. Antonio Banderas y est formidable. Un grand cru, que ce film ! L’image et le son sont de très bonne tenue et on se croirait (toujours) au cinéma !

I was very much impressed with its trailer for which I bought the BD. But the movie from the point of view of story is average. Only the good thing is the Puss character who is a delight to watch. The BD has some extras which are enjoyable. Pic quality is great. Audio is great and it got Hindi 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack as well. The BD is manufactured by Reliance and as usually the BD production quality is average. It is priced very highly but I got during an Offer. 800/- MRP would have been great.

There is never anything that I dislike ABOUT THE PUSS IN BOOTS movies.Always enjoyable for a bit of time passing......and I'm 82 years old.

Se il cartone può essere spassoso al punto giusto e la storiella da buonanotte a suo modo avvincente, il blu-ray in questione è perfezione di riproduzione. Nonostante un'animazione poco curata, quasi sciatta (vedere i volti delle persone), il master è riproposto come mamma l'ha fatto, con colori saturi e luminosi. Il comparto audio è buono, ma la traccia è fiacca e bassa come in molti altri film Dreamworks (Megamind dice niente?). Il 3D è divertente, funzionale e regala alla visione un po' di divertimento in più. Per i bambini è una manna, per i ragazzi potrebbe comportare una serata diversa, e forse strappare qualche risata e qualche strizzata d'occhi, difronte a questa riproduzione dell'alta definizione.
