''Puss In Boots'' is a [[Dreamworks Animation]] film, serving as a prequel to the ''[[Shrek]]'' series and telling the [[Backstory]] of Puss in Boots. [[Guillermo del Toro]] is executive producer.

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: {{spoiler|The mother goose.}}

* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Puss, as usual, and also Kitty Softpaws. Particularly Puss as a kitten, look at his little belly!

** [[Badass Spaniard]]: Both cats also qualify for this, especially given their voice actors.

* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Friend]]: Humpty was the [[Big Bad]] the entire time. Although later in the movie, he redeemed himself and was on Puss' side again.}}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Many, as the movie is set in an AU! Spain. Yet this one takes the prize:

** Literally, "Damned egg". Made even better by the fact that huevo is also used as an euphemism for testicle.

** You also get a relatively rare occasion in which the phrase "Holy frijoles!" - often used in a stereotypical fashion in film and TV depictions of Mexicans, or used by non-Mexicans as a generic exclamation in the same context as "Aye Cayrumba!" - is actually uttered by a noted Hispanic actor in a non-stereotypical context.

* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Kitty starts out as Puss' rival {{spoiler|and is in on Humpty's plot against him}}, but ultimately ends up as his [[Love Interest]].

* [[Carnivore Confusion]]:

'''Humpty:''' Yech! That is disgusting! }}

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Played somewhat unconventionally in that most of the feline characters in the flick are only smarmy or jerks to those that really deserve it.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Unlike [[Shrek|the series it was spun off from]], which was a comedy with a bit of drama mixed in, this movie is more of an action/comedy.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Kitty Softpaws

'''Kitty:''' What are you gonna do? Hit it in the head with a guitar? }}

* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Humpty topples off a bridge and supposedly dies, but the epilogue shows that he recovers.}}

** Puss has quite the reputation with the ladies. Apparently, he's called "Mr. Friskie Two-Times". So yeah.

** This line from Humpty:

** From one ad, Puss says "That's not what your mama said." [[Don't Explain the Joke|For those who don't know, the full version of this comeback is "That's not what your mom said when I was doing her."]]

** When an outlaw tries to show Puss his "golden goose eggs".
