''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
The film shows Puss (voiced again by [[Antonio Banderas]]) getting reunited with an old friend- Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) who betrayed him once, and who convinces him to steal the [[Jack and
The film was released on October 28, 2011. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcxL43SircA Here's the teaser], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znuq-daWfLE here's the first theatrical trailer.]
Line 22:
* [[All-Star Cast]]
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Despite the 'verse being a [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]], ''Jack and the Beanstalk'' is considered a myth.
* [[Attack of the
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]
{{quote| '''Humpty Dumpty:''' Do you know what they do to eggs in prison? I'll tell you this much... [[Prison Rape|it ain't over easy]].}}
Line 108:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Humpty sacrifices himself so Puss can save the Golden Goose, and thus San Ricardo from her mother's wrath.}}
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Puss and Humpty, though it gets muddied for... complicated reasons.
* [[High
* [[Hollywood Density]]: Averted; the golden eggs turn out to be so heavy even taking one would have been difficult. That said, the characters do occasionally handle them as if they were far lighter, but this is more artistic than plot-relevant.
** {{spoiler|Humpty seems to be no heavier than he looks, however, despite it being revealed at the end that he ''is'' a golden egg, and quite a bit larger than any of the other ones. Dude should have weighed a couple hundred pounds, but the cats have no problem helping him up or rolling him around}}.
* [[Impossible Thief]]: Kitty. A [[Running Gag]] has her steal Puss' hat and boots without him noticing until she points it out. Puss later gets to do this to some guards by making their pants fall down without apparently moving a muscle.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Puss uses a guitar to knock Kitty out in their first duel, revealing her identity.
* [[In Love
* [[Inspector Javert]]: The Comandante of San Ricardo.
* [[It's All About Me]]: Humpty's main character flaw, and ultimately the cause of Puss becoming an outlaw.
Line 137:
* [[Nice Shoes]]: Who else?
* [[The Old Convict]]: {{spoiler|"Jack" Andy Beanstalk}}.
* [[Once More,
* [[One Last Job]]: Jack wants to retire and start a family after the job is done. Jill however wants to continue the profession.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted. The movie boasts both "Jack and Jill" Jack and "Jack and the Beanstalk" Jack. {{spoiler|But then subverted when the latter Jack reveals that his real name is [[Punny Name|Andy Beanstalk]], and [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Jack was a nickname he got saddled with]].}}
Line 158:
** Pointing out that Puss In Boots turned a guitar into an improvised weapon.
** The cat that keeps covering its mouth whenever someone says a pun (or does something naughty) and goes "ooooooo...".
* [[Running
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Kitty, who for the first few minutes of her appearance wears a heavy black mask to hide her face. Given the generally realistic cat proportions the only real thing marking her as a different gender anyway is her voice (at least to the audience. Puss has no problem telling by her face, even though he seems incapable of identifying a female cat otherwise, apparently).
* [[Senior Sleep Cycle]]: {{spoiler|Jack and the Beanstalk's Jack}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: From [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NipMY6hUlSo this ad]: "[[The Most Interesting Man in
** From [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JsbSolUF5c this one]: "[[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like
** Puss has mastered [[Zoolander|the Magnum...]] [[Trailers Always Lie|But only in the trailer.]]
** "The first rule of Bean Club is [[Fight Club|you do NOT talk about Bean Club.]]"
** Puss facing off with a highly competent imitator who turns out to be female, which happens with Jack Sparrow in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: On Stranger Tides.'' This dips into [[Actor Allusion]] as both ladies are played by [[Salma Hayek]] and [[Penelope Cruz]], known for being best friends in real life. For that matter, both scenes lead into a [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]] moment.
** [[Bolt
** "There is only one word for you... [[Monsters vs. Aliens|me-WOW."]]
** The garden in the giant's castle looks like [[Ice Age|the Jungle of Misery, and the Great Terror's roar in that scene even sounds like Rudy the Baryonyx.]]
Line 176:
** "His boots are made of soft Corinthian Leather" is a reference to Ricardo Montalban (one of the most prominent Hispanic actors in early Hollywood) and his famously suave endorsements for Chrysler. Montalban also co-starred with Banderas in one of the ''[[Spy Kids]]'' films, and it's very likely "San Ricardo" is named in his honor.
** Jack and Jill's little ones are ten little piggies.
* [[Signature Style]]: Despite [[Guillermo
* [[So Proud of You]]: {{spoiler|Imelda says this to Puss after he saves San Ricardo from the golden goose's mother.}}
* [[Spexico]]: San Ricardo and it's surroundings are the definitive Spexico. Considering that Puss originated in the Shrek movies, which seem to take place in Arthurian Europe, one would presume Puss is Spanish. San Ricardo and it's surroundings, however... ain't exactly medieval Spain.
Line 191:
** The running gag with the cat that goes "Ooh...!" has him taking his hand out of his mouth after Puss scolds him, which doesn't happen in the actual movie.
* [[True Companions]]: Puss and Humpty, when they were kids, and considered each other "brothers". Not so much in the present, though Humpty tries to get it back {{spoiler|or at least pretends to, in order to take revenge. However, Puss manages to appeal to the good still in him, and they seem to be friends again right before Humpty's death.}}
* [[Two Guys and
* [[Used to Be
* [[UST]]: Very much so between Puss and Kitty through most of the movie.
* [[Visual Pun]]: {{spoiler|First off, Humpty admitting that he's been a 'rotten egg'. Then after his [[Heroic Sacrifice]], his exterior is obliterated to reveal a golden egg, making him a literal [[Jerk
** Let's not forget the tip of the hat to the best known fairy tale mascot of all time - {{spoiler|a literal [[Mother Goose]].}}
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: In the flashback, Puss is revealed to have had the same voice he had as an adult... as a kitten.
