A young farmers son inherits a strange talking cat with magical boots. With his cunning wit, Puss helps him win the heart of the Princess while battling devious suitors that are after the throne.
Our Thoughts: I have to be honest, this is not one of the best movies I have ever seen. I was excited to have the chance to learn the real story of Puss N Boots, but this movie is a little hard to sit through. William Shatner has never been one of my favorite performers, but he is downright annoying as the voice of Puss. He tries to pull off a cat-like voice, but it would have been better to just use his natural voice. Some of the other characters bordered on creepy and I wouldn't want to meet one of them in a dark alley. Even the music seemed off for a children's movie. The only upside of this film is that the animation is bright and colorful. I loved some of the scenery and the old world towns and especially the palace. I thought maybe it was just my perception, but my kids didn't like it either. They didn't even want to keep watching it and left the room about halfway through. I hate to say, it but The True Story of Puss N' Boots is the first movie I have reviewed that I would have to give two thumbs down.
If you want to give this movie a chance, the DVD/Blu-Ray combo is available on Amazon for only $22.49 with free super saver shipping and the DVD is available for $17.49. You can learn more about the film and meet the characters on the official True Story of Puss 'N Boots website.
