Puss in Boots, the Last Wish

(I am posting this as a blog to forever immortalize my based opinions)

THIS MOVIE WAS SO GOOD

I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR IT TO COME OUT SINCE I SAW IT IN AN AD WHILE GOING TO SEE THE BAD GUYS IN THEATER

THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD, LIKE GOD I LOVE THE STYLE DREAMWORKS HAS BEEN DEVELOPING IN ITS LATEST WORK

The painterly style is beautiful, the action and special effects are lovely. I am literally OBSESSED with how the sparks and colored effects have been animated. Its beautiful

It wish they pushed the style just a *teensy* bit harder, especially with the people. Fur looked AMAZING with the painted style, but I felt that the actual people in it looked flat and weirdly unfinished? They lacked the beautiful colors that Puss had, and I just wish it was pushed a bit more

But besides that I loved it!

The plot was wonderful too, like OMG it was so relatable and I plan on rewatching and redrawing the movie

I loved Puss in Boots as a protag and GHRBHFJHBJDSF he is so me

I am so normal about animation and this movie.

(Spoilers are down below)

The way that Puss in Boots was animated in specifically the action scenes was so dynamic. Like when he was fighting the Giant, the way he moved and jumped everywhere was beautiful. They were both animated in either 2s or 3s (I cant tell, I will need to go frame by frame to be able to figure it out) which just allowed so much more to the imagination and weirdly enough made it so much more dynamic.

When he stabbed the giant in the head, the explosion and just the colors were everything. I loved it

Then seeing all of his deaths and each of the number scenes just were so well done

Death was also such an interesting and creepy villain. Like genuinely bro scared me! And then him being the one thing to completely change everything Puss stands for. He was the one person that made him be touched by a blade. Puss wasnt able to laugh in the face of death. The only thing that death kept up with him was the fact that he believed that Puss was a Legend, which even that made Puss doubt himself and come to not believe it. 

It was all so simple but it was so effective. Seeing Puss' reaction to Death after that encounter at the bar felt so realistic. The panic attack he had in the woods was terrifying to watch. And when we as an audience thought hed finally have gotten over it with the help of his friends, he got pulled in even harder than before. The way he ran to the map was such devastating to watch. Due to his fear he betrayed his friends out of pure desperation. He needed that wish, and I genuinely would have understood if he decided to keep that wish for himself even after realizing he should just enjoy his last life. I know that would have been anti-climactic, but I really would have understood. 

The reveal that the 'bounty hunter' was just death himself who had a thing out for Puss was such a cool reveal. It genuinely surprised me, and it just heightened the stakes even more. The scene in the cave was so terrifying to watch. I felt and understood how devastated Puss felt. 

Now a quick change of subject, but Goldilocks and the bear's side story was a tug on my very sensitive and emotional heartstrings. I started crying when she said her wish was to have a family. I know it was cheesy, but I am prone to sobbing in kid's movies. Seeing her finally realize that she just needed to see her family as her own was so emotional for me. They were all so family and in love :sob:

And then Kitty Softpaws and Puss' relationship was so nice. I havent seen the first movie so I didn't have a pre-established connection with them, but despite that I still fully understood what I needed to about it. *And the fact that they both left each other at the alter was so funny to me.* But they both just needed to love each other and be able to trust each other again. THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME

Then finally how Perrito got to be the therapy dog he wanted to be was so nice! They were both able to help each other in that forest. That scene genuinely meant so much to me being able to see it. I thought he was annoying at first, but he grew on me!

Overall, I loved it a lot and I wish I had the better vocabulary and understanding of animating and storytelling to be able to do a better analysis on this movie. If I had these skills, you dont even understand how many essays I would make on a bunch of kid's movies. 

I am so normal.
