From what I've gathered, Death is so well loved because he's not just a standard antagonist the hero has to defeat. He is literally _death_ and canonically undefeatable. There is no way to avoid him when all is said and done, because everyone will meet him. But, despite this, Dreamworks wrote him with understandable motives and the ability to acknowledge growth in character. He's terrifying, powerful, but at the end of the day, he values humility and wants people to respect him for what he is. He's a force that cannot be avoided, but he does not abuse that power, and only hunted Puss down because Puss neglected the gift of having 9 lives by growing cocky and believing he did not need to value his mortality. When you think about it, Death is the entire reason Puss changed as a person. Without Death sparking Puss' fears and telling him to value his own life, Puss would likely have died alone and pathetically just like with the rest of his lives. So there's a lot about Death that we can respect :)
Imo, everybody played their part in Puss' growth: Death, Puss' friends and of course Puss himself. However, I think that the biggest role in that regard goes to Perrito.
Alyssa Bullock's analysis is right on target. Death here is a stern and brutal teacher, but fair and extremely effective. He could have killed Puss without mercy repeatedly, but instead he kept encouraging Puss to fight to survive. He's cold, as is appropriate for Death, but not without honor. And he can afford to be patient.
One character I really love in this movie is Perrito. His backstory is so horrible and sad, yet he still has so much optimism, appreciates all the good things in life, and just wants to help people. He's a perfect foil to both Puss and Kitty and he helps them both overcome their problems. He knows he doesn't need a wish because he feels his life is fulfilling enough already. We could all learn a thing or two from Perrito.

I like too that Jack is a monster but he’s still a human being who reacts to stuff. Like he still gets weirded out, scared, surprised, amused etc. Even when other movies from Disney/etc have irredeemable villains, many of them don’t have a sense of humor or ignore comedic bits. It makes Jack even more three dimensional despite still being a monster.
I think the praise for Death isn't his actual character, but more for his impact on Puss. Right from his introduction he's pretty much the entire driving motivation for Puss to get the wish, and each encounter with him further solidifies his fear and drive towards the star.
I loved all threes sets of villains. Goldilocks learned to accept the bears as her true family, Big Jack Horner is just pure evil in a hilarious way, and it just goes without saying how bad ass El Lobo is. He’s both an external and an internal threat to Puss, which why I consider him to be a slightly above Shen in terms of great Dreamworks villains. I also wasn’t expecting a Shrek movie villain to be this crazy. There have been villains like Farquad, Rumplestilskin, and Humpty, and then there’s this guy.
I like to think there's a deleted scene somewhere of Death dragging Jack's spirit toward oblivion while Jack tries in vain to spill some "life is precious" moral.
To be honest, I don't see Humpty Alexander dumpty as a villan. His sadness and anger led him down the wrong path because he thought his only freind puss left him with nothing. But at least puss apologised for hurting him and humpty apologised back before he fell. "I'm sorry puss. I've made a mess of everything. I'm a rotten egg. I'm not a person. I'm not a food. I don't know what I am."
It says a lot about Perrito that his route is technically the darkest out of all of them; Pocket full of posies (A reference to ring around the rosie, a song about the black death) River of relaxation (like the river his owner tried to drown him in) The field of quick and easy solutions (could easily be a suicide reference given how bad his life has been)

Correction: death isn’t a villain he’s an antagonist and a force of nature it doesn’t matter what you do you can defy it escape it avoid it cheat it but it still will come to you no matter what you do Plus he said he’s death straight up not a symbolism but literally death
He could be considered a villian because he was acting out of selfish motives, he felt disrespected, so he wanted to act forcefully to take a life, not let it naturally happen.
@@austincarlson9270 I mean you can’t argue with his logic because he had a point when telling puss that even though he has what everybody wishes they had he didn’t value a single life so he probably thought what’s the point he’s probably gonna be reckless and arrogant with it is it cheating? Yes but hey he’s death who’s gonna stop him? 😉
@@mohammedashian8094 I mean sure, but his JOB was not to kill puss in boots on his 9th life, which means he has motive behind why he is killing puss, morally right or wrong, that ain't his job. But then you could argue it is because why would he have to show up in the first place to fight him. Eh I don't want to go down that rabbit hole
@@austincarlson9270 I think Death/Lobo is a antagonist villain, where he's not exactly a straight villain but he's not really an antagonist. Like said, he's a force of nature. If I could give an example, he's another Rattlesnake Jake from Rango where he basically humbles the main character to actually do things for himself and not be so high on his own fumes. I can see where Death is coming from. Imagine watching someone waste their lives on the most stupidest things ever and he tries to continue it with more lives and he says he laughs in your face because you can't catch him yet. His thinking is a bit early but at that point, Puss still wanted those lives back to waste them all again and they'd be at this point again where Death is even more mad at Puss. Eh, I'm rambling but I just like his character and the way he had to force Puss to change because Puss was not going to stop...
Perrito is a Spanish way of saying “little dog”. Since perro is Spanish for dog and “ito” is what Spanish parents would call their son(s), like how in encanto Abuela alma calls Bruno “Brunito”
@@garreonlefay6703Agree! It can be translated closer to "Doggy" or maybe "Doggo". But technically it can be "puppy" or "little dog" too. Thou it's not the primary sense.
I saw this in theaters, and it did not disappoint in any way. Especially that final act with the showdown at the Wishing Star -- plenty of movies today seem to have this problem of overextending the final confrontation, but this didn't have that problem, nor did the finale feel rushed. It was, in a word, _just right._
The ethical bug is is double the hilarity when you realize he's an impersonation of Jimmy Stuart, an actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood who was often typecast as the All-American boy scout type (think Tom Hanks in the early 90's). That's what makes him extra funny!
Perrito translates to Doggie or Little dog. Perro = Dog. The same way Puss calls Death ~ Lobo ~ which means Wolf - Source: I'm a Spanish speaker. I watched this film in Spanish and now I'm noticing all the Spanish words 😊 I was referring to the dog as Perrito before knowing that is his name in the original version 😝
Honestly I love the character of Death the most, he's one of the truly more threatening characters in recent memory and he technically isn't a bad guy. Puss in Boots basically was talking shit about Death his entire life(s) and Death decided to vibe check him personally. Death also didn't really rely on any gimmicks other than the fact that you cannot beat him, and he announces his presence with the whistling which adds to his intimidation factor. He embodies "talk shit get hit" and I respect that.
My favorite character from this movie was Jack Horner, he's so unabashedly evil and owns it! Villains with nuance are nice, but it's refreshing every now and then to get one with no redeeming qualities and are evil for the sake of being evil.
Death is my favorite character the fact you can see him at times before Puss 8th death the whistling tune before he appears the fear that brings along with it and the fact Puss had to fight him not to beat him in a physical form to conquer his fear of death because death is inevitable.
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said "What a good boy am I". The cricket was talking like Jimmy Stewart. It's not actually him since he's passed, but someone trying to sound like him.
Jack Horner isn’t as well known as the other fables. The only reason I know about him was from that one finger shorts episode from Adventure Time. Pretty interesting choice for a main villain. Makes wonder how Dreamworks would do other fables or nursery rhymes like The Crooked Man or the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
I vaguely remember his ryhme in an old children's book I had as a kid, but it was short, and there wasn't really much to his ryhme. Just how he picked a plum outta a pie and how good he was. Makes me wonder where the ryhme came from or reference to it.
This movie was way better than it had any right to be and has one of the most accurate portrayals of anxiety I've ever seen onscreen. On the subject of animated Oscar contenders, you should also check out Guillermo del Toro's _Pinocchio_ too since it's another amazing gem. Tbh if either one of them wins it'll be well deserved
2:01 Because the director of this cartoon was supposed to be the one who shot Through the Universes, but it was changed leaving this Picturesque style 10:39 Jack Horner existed before only as a verse/ditty, Dreamworks embodied him in live action from scratch)
Jack Horner is voiced by John Mulaney! Aka Spider Pig from Into the Spiderverse! He has the best voice for sarcastic, tv show host, and just dry humor!
@23:47 yea it does get lonely at the top. Popularity and success isn’t everything . I see why he became friends w/ Shrek bc he can also relate to loneliness & eventually accepting love in his life .
It isnt that he was a villian that made him hyped, it was the fact that he was an antihero and also the idea he is death makes you realized he will always be there. ANd also the fact that death was probably playing with puss and not trying to kill him shows he was holding back and people want to see more of him being full on death is what we want to see
Lobo's voice actor is Brazilian actor Wagner Moura, it was his first dubbing job in another country, and everyone is loving how his voice makes the character even scarier
Before the reveal of Death, I thought it was the Big Bad Wolf as a bounty hunter. Which THAT would be fuckin awesome! Also I love Jimmy Cricket has the voice of Jimmy Stewart.
Death was so well received because he's one of the golden villain trio. There was a sympathetic villain in Goldie, an irredeemable villain in Jack Horner and an unstoppable force of nature in Death.
Harvey Guillen is awesome! If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend checking him out in the Taika Waititi mockumentary comedy "What We Do In The Shadows" about a group of vampire roomates living together in Staten Island. He plays one of the vampire's familiar in the show, and his side eye is iconic enough to rival Jim from The Office lmao. If you're ever looking for a hilarious new show to watch on the channel, especially during October, it's such a fun time.
Jiminy Cricket: That was horrible. Your wish is horrible. You're horrible! You're an irredeemable monster! Big Jack: Oh, oh. What took you so long, idiot?
I didn’t realize until watching this reaction that the way they introduce characters in this film is exactly how they introduce characters in the spiderverse movies. In those films, the animators use comic book covers, and dreamworks used wanted poster art to do the same thing. I don’t know if I really like that aspect of the movie. I like that the animation style is similar, but it just seems almost like dreamworks is trying to ride off of another studio’s success
Death is so good as a villain. I love his character. He’s kind of the “big bad wolf” but we know he’s not the actual one cause the big bad wolf is Shrek’s friend. His whistling is such as badass quirk of his character. He barely even feels like the villain to a PG movie. He’s just so cool
What I love personally about Lobo is that you can see in almost every shot he is the amount of anger he has towards Puss for how arrogant and egotistical he is about the concept of death. In his expression, in how he drags Puss across the table in the bar scene, and even more in the final scenes in the Cave of Lost Souls and the final fight, you can see how much personal anger he has that’s boiling just beneath he surface. And yet despite all of this, he is still very reasonable and not diluted or egotistical because of his power as being an essentially omnipotent being. And that to me is just really, REALLY refreshing to see in a villain.
I think most people could see death but unless for some reason he was actively coming for you like he did with puss no one really cared he was there. Keep in mind this is a world of magic and talking animals as pretty common sights so no one likely question what a big talking wolf walking around was up to unless he gave them a reason.
Death was terrifying ngl. Watching this movie without any context on who the wolf is just mind blowing. He was such a surprise which is why almost everybody loved him. Also jack horner is severely underrated
@@rickygforce4217 Nah, Death gets more attention. Though Horner s definitely getting more now because Death became so overhyped that people got tired of it.
death is truly one of the best characters of all time to me!!! he genuinely scares me a little, u really feel his importance and power from his first appearance! he really shows u that avoiding death only leads to dead ends lol
The thing with Death is there isn't really a way to beat him. Presumably at least. Wishing death away from the world... people can't die. Wishing for more lives is just running away. The best way to beat death is to accept it with grace when the time comes, but until then, defend your life with vigor. Also, Perrito basically just means little dog.
Mello I just recently started watching you about a month or so ago but ngl you’re my favorite movie reactor because of how you react to certain things and it’s always almost exactly how I reacted to seeing those things and your hilarious as well. Can’t wait for even more great reactions

@Mellverse The coins in the Death Wolf's eyes when Puss and Kitty Softpaws escape Big Jack Horner. That's a reference to Charon, the Ferryman of Hades in ancient Greek mythology.
1.Death is easily the best antagonist in the whole movie and that's saying something. He's not evil. He's literally only after Puss because he feels insulted. Imagine being there since the birth and death of the first living thing, seeing civilisations and entire planets crumble into dust and the meeting this one rando who gets to have 9 lives instead of the usual 1 that everybody else gets and uses it to humiliate you and prop himself up. But then at the finale he sees that Puss has been humbled and that he deserves to keep his final life. 2. Kitty isn't angry at Puss for not showing up , she didn't either, she was angry because she was *right* in the end. 3. Perrito is such a good addition to the cast. Everyone else is either evil, selfish or is dealing personal issues, meanwhile he's just happy to be included. He provides a good moral compass for Puss and Kitty 4. As good as Death was, Jack Horner ,Goldie and the 3 Bears were also *great*
Apples were from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the "Eat Me" snack was from Alice in Wonderland, the grab bag is Marry Poppins' magical infinite bag... Movie had a ton of little references like that.
24:27 His voice actor is Wagner Moura, a brazilian actor. He had a role in the movies Elite Squad 1 and 2. I think you would like to watch these, since you also liked City of God.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how both Spiderverse first and Arcane then influenced the animation industry with such beautiful hybrids between 2d and 3d 💕💕💕
30:57 perrito means little dog and if I had a wish I’d wish for the ability to bring things to life. To explain similar to illusions or that crystal from teen titans where they saw the sum of their parts. That’s what I mean for my wish it would be cool to be able to do that. Bringing what’s inside me into the real world it would be an interesting power to have. Not to mention it could help me understand myself better. Also I could help people pretty well if there were a bunch of me.
they couldnt see him before but they could at the end, i think its more about the message of death that u cant out run it and if u try u will always be running
I think my favorite in this one is Kitty softpaws, overall hard to say there's a lot of good ones. I do love the way the map gives you a path based on your own heart and desires. Another reactor said Perrito was spanish for dog. My wish, well that's rather personal.
I do adore Perrito because he's so kind and sweet despite the horrible life that he had but the standout for me was Death. Tons of people in the media portrayed Death as a spiteful or horrible villain but Death is just part of life and sooner or later, you're gonna have to face it. In the movie he may seem to be a villain at first but he served as Puss' motivator since Puss was getting arrogant (I laugh at the face of death!) and when the sickle had managed to make him bleed, he was forced to recognize his mortality. He accidentally taught Puss on treasuring life since he compained about 'playing with his food' hinting that it *was* Puss' time to die but let him go out of begrudging respect. To me he falls into an antagonist while Jack Horner was the villain.
Death is a really fun character, very well framed as this, unstoppable force lurking in every dark corner. The first scene is just so good, striking the fear of death, lasting death, into Puss. And the reasoning is simple, disliking the special rules cats have, especially one like Puss who doesn't appreciate what they had, who makes a point of stating he laughs at death. And, Death just so happened to take it personally. And Horner. While there's nothing redeemable in his reasoning, there's also some interesting background to think about, because he was born a normal guy in a world of magic. The writers I think show just enough to understand what got under his skin, but don't linger on it, because, his reasons don't really matter, he's a monster, and happy that way. I always wonder if there was some symbolism in there two. A character from a fairy tale generally has growth, one from a nursery rhyme is innately one dimensional, like Horner is
It just stroke me now after many watch. But death is actually so fair. Not good or bad. But fair. He could have sliced Puss without him even knowing he was there. But instead he confronted him. He actually wanted him to see how bad his current ( and last ) life was. Many dialogue hint into this " i was there to witness all of them ( your lives/deaths ). You didn't cherished/ valued any of it ". He's literally chasing him not to truly kill him, but to teach him a lesson ( and maybe killing him for good if he can't understand it then ). Also the many times he throw the sword at Puss saying " pick it up ". Really " Fight me and show me i'm wrong ". Death says he has come for him but let him escape so many times... I love how he was written. Really well done.
Damn i feel pretty bad for the chefs and their brutal deaths they really didn't deserve their fates. And them being loyal to jack even though jack do not care wether they die or live, hell he just let most of his henchmen die without helping them while they were dying to protect jack.
Perrito in Spanish means "little dog/puppy". Perro is "dog" and -ito/-ita in Spanish is a suffix used for attaching the attribute of "little" to something in a sort of endearing way. Hence why Kitty called her knife the "gattito blade" which literally means "little cat/kitty" blade. Gato is Spanish for cat.
From what I've gathered, Death is so well loved because he's not just a standard antagonist the hero has to defeat. He is literally _death_ and canonically undefeatable. There is no way to avoid him when all is said and done, because everyone will meet him.
But, despite this, Dreamworks wrote him with understandable motives and the ability to acknowledge growth in character. He's terrifying, powerful, but at the end of the day, he values humility and wants people to respect him for what he is.
He's a force that cannot be avoided, but he does not abuse that power, and only hunted Puss down because Puss neglected the gift of having 9 lives by growing cocky and believing he did not need to value his mortality.
When you think about it, Death is the entire reason Puss changed as a person. Without Death sparking Puss' fears and telling him to value his own life, Puss would likely have died alone and pathetically just like with the rest of his lives.
So there's a lot about Death that we can respect :)

Imo, everybody played their part in Puss' growth: Death, Puss' friends and of course Puss himself. However, I think that the biggest role in that regard goes to Perrito.

Correction: death isn’t a villain he’s an antagonist and a force of nature it doesn’t matter what you do you can defy it escape it avoid it cheat it but it still will come to you no matter what you do
Plus he said he’s death straight up not a symbolism but literally death
we all face death one day yea i cheat death so i know what puss went through.
He could be considered a villian because he was acting out of selfish motives, he felt disrespected, so he wanted to act forcefully to take a life, not let it naturally happen.
@@austincarlson9270 I mean you can’t argue with his logic because he had a point when telling puss that even though he has what everybody wishes they had he didn’t value a single life so he probably thought what’s the point he’s probably gonna be reckless and arrogant with it is it cheating? Yes but hey he’s death who’s gonna stop him? 😉
@@mohammedashian8094 I mean sure, but his JOB was not to kill puss in boots on his 9th life, which means he has motive behind why he is killing puss, morally right or wrong, that ain't his job. But then you could argue it is because why would he have to show up in the first place to fight him. Eh I don't want to go down that rabbit hole
@@austincarlson9270 I think Death/Lobo is a antagonist villain, where he's not exactly a straight villain but he's not really an antagonist. Like said, he's a force of nature. If I could give an example, he's another Rattlesnake Jake from Rango where he basically humbles the main character to actually do things for himself and not be so high on his own fumes. I can see where Death is coming from. Imagine watching someone waste their lives on the most stupidest things ever and he tries to continue it with more lives and he says he laughs in your face because you can't catch him yet. His thinking is a bit early but at that point, Puss still wanted those lives back to waste them all again and they'd be at this point again where Death is even more mad at Puss. Eh, I'm rambling but I just like his character and the way he had to force Puss to change because Puss was not going to stop...
Perrito is a Spanish way of saying “little dog”. Since perro is Spanish for dog and “ito” is what Spanish parents would call their son(s), like how in encanto Abuela alma calls Bruno “Brunito”
-ito/-ita is a diminutive, not what Spanish parents call their children. That said, a diminutive can be used as an expression of affection.
@@garreonlefay6703Agree! It can be translated closer to "Doggy" or maybe "Doggo".
But technically it can be "puppy" or "little dog" too. Thou it's not the primary sense.
As some other said it, Wagner Moura voiced Death. The man's an absolute legend in Brazilian cinema, a superb actor all around.
I saw this in theaters, and it did not disappoint in any way. Especially that final act with the showdown at the Wishing Star -- plenty of movies today seem to have this problem of overextending the final confrontation, but this didn't have that problem, nor did the finale feel rushed. It was, in a word, _just right._
Yea. The wolf is my favorite. They just gave you a sense of fear when you hear that whistle and they just portrayed him so well.
The ethical bug is is double the hilarity when you realize he's an impersonation of Jimmy Stuart, an actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood who was often typecast as the All-American boy scout type (think Tom Hanks in the early 90's). That's what makes him extra funny!
8:10 that cat is my mvp from the first Puss in Boots movie😂 I've been using that face whenever my sisters are close with a guy.
Seeing that ending made the whole theater go crazy
Perrito translates to Doggie or Little dog. Perro = Dog. The same way Puss calls Death ~ Lobo ~ which means Wolf - Source: I'm a Spanish speaker. I watched this film in Spanish and now I'm noticing all the Spanish words 😊 I was referring to the dog as Perrito before knowing that is his name in the original version 😝
Nice
My Spanish is pretty ass considering how much I’ve taken, but I was happy to almost get all this movie(still a couple parts I missed)
12:56
Death has coined eyes in this scene, a burial tradition. Did the same to my brothers and pops.
Honestly I love the character of Death the most, he's one of the truly more threatening characters in recent memory and he technically isn't a bad guy. Puss in Boots basically was talking shit about Death his entire life(s) and Death decided to vibe check him personally. Death also didn't really rely on any gimmicks other than the fact that you cannot beat him, and he announces his presence with the whistling which adds to his intimidation factor. He embodies "talk shit get hit" and I respect that.
My favorite character from this movie was Jack Horner, he's so unabashedly evil and owns it! Villains with nuance are nice, but it's refreshing every now and then to get one with no redeeming qualities and are evil for the sake of being evil.
Bro, Mel laughing his ass off at the Crickets voice makes this so much more hilarious to watch 🤣
"sWeEt MoThEr Of GoOsE jAcK!!"
Death is my favorite character the fact you can see him at times before Puss 8th death the whistling tune before he appears the fear that brings along with it and the fact Puss had to fight him not to beat him in a physical form to conquer his fear of death because death is inevitable.
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said "What a good boy am I". The cricket was talking like Jimmy Stewart. It's not actually him since he's passed, but someone trying to sound like him.
Jack Horner isn’t as well known as the other fables. The only reason I know about him was from that one finger shorts episode from Adventure Time. Pretty interesting choice for a main villain. Makes wonder how Dreamworks would do other fables or nursery rhymes like The Crooked Man or the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Swear the same for me 😂
I think that's on purose too, because he isnt as well known as lets say jack and jill or pinocchio so its part of his villain arc if you will
I vaguely remember his ryhme in an old children's book I had as a kid, but it was short, and there wasn't really much to his ryhme. Just how he picked a plum outta a pie and how good he was. Makes me wonder where the ryhme came from or reference to it.
What Episode And Season Did You Watch In Adventure Time?
@@hannahburke7328 ua-cam.com/video/OXp-_NvO4JY/v-deo.html Found the clip
24:09 you genuinely jumped back in fear that's how good a character death was
This movie was way better than it had any right to be and has one of the most accurate portrayals of anxiety I've ever seen onscreen. On the subject of animated Oscar contenders, you should also check out Guillermo del Toro's _Pinocchio_ too since it's another amazing gem. Tbh if either one of them wins it'll be well deserved
I just saw this movie in the cinema today and I gotta say, it sure lived up to the hype.
2:01 Because the director of this cartoon was supposed to be the one who shot Through the Universes, but it was changed leaving this Picturesque style
10:39 Jack Horner existed before only as a verse/ditty, Dreamworks embodied him in live action from scratch)
Jack Horner is voiced by John Mulaney! Aka Spider Pig from Into the Spiderverse! He has the best voice for sarcastic, tv show host, and just dry humor!
@23:47 yea it does get lonely at the top. Popularity and success isn’t everything . I see why he became friends w/ Shrek bc he can also relate to loneliness & eventually accepting love in his life .
It isnt that he was a villian that made him hyped, it was the fact that he was an antihero and also the idea he is death makes you realized he will always be there. ANd also the fact that death was probably playing with puss and not trying to kill him shows he was holding back and people want to see more of him being full on death is what we want to see
26:47 snow white and the seven dwarfs, i presume
30:59 "Perrito" is literally "little dog" or "doggie"
14:02 finally, someone else said it, besides me.
I knew right away why the map did this for them.
Omg I love Perrito he’s such a precious little bean!!
Perito is Spanish for puppy.
Death’s weapons were sickles…used for harvesting souls.
The voice actor for Death is the man that played Pablo Escobar in Narcos. I think it’s a show you should check out
Lobo's voice actor is Brazilian actor Wagner Moura, it was his first dubbing job in another country, and everyone is loving how his voice makes the character even scarier
8:10🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love that dude
OOOOOUUUUUUU
The most surprising thing for me isn't how well the movie is doing... it's how few people know the nursery rhyme of Jack Horner LOL
Before the reveal of Death, I thought it was the Big Bad Wolf as a bounty hunter. Which THAT would be fuckin awesome!
Also I love Jimmy Cricket has the voice of Jimmy Stewart.
this film was legitimately awesome, one of the best animated/ edited films i've seen in a long time!
Yeah...the entire 2022 had terrible and boring animated movies. Puss in boots was satisfyingly good.
I think the reason why death was so angry at Puss Was because he disrespected him, it was that Puss Disrespected Life.
John Mulaney plays little Jack Horner. He also played spider pig in into the spider verse.
My favourite character is definitely Baby Bear! I grew up in London so he sounded like so many of my friends. It was nice to hear!
21:15 it's the Jimmy Stewart impression, I bet XD
Death was so well received because he's one of the golden villain trio. There was a sympathetic villain in Goldie, an irredeemable villain in Jack Horner and an unstoppable force of nature in Death.
Perrito and the Wolf are my top two characters in the movie! This movie is so good!
22:45 Perrito during this whole scene is so hilarious.
Mell will we ever get the unedited cut of your intro. I've been wanting to see it ever since Billy talked about it on your Ted reaction hahaha
No lmao
Harvey Guillen is awesome! If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend checking him out in the Taika Waititi mockumentary comedy "What We Do In The Shadows" about a group of vampire roomates living together in Staten Island. He plays one of the vampire's familiar in the show, and his side eye is iconic enough to rival Jim from The Office lmao. If you're ever looking for a hilarious new show to watch on the channel, especially during October, it's such a fun time.
Not necessary for the show, except for cameos, but he also needs to watch the movie
Jiminy Cricket: That was horrible. Your wish is horrible. You're horrible! You're an irredeemable monster!
Big Jack: Oh, oh. What took you so long, idiot?
Yes! I’m glad you reacted to this amazing film.
15:37 sometimes people do have to go through that to turn out the bundle of joys they are. i'm actually friends with one such guy
I didn’t realize until watching this reaction that the way they introduce characters in this film is exactly how they introduce characters in the spiderverse movies. In those films, the animators use comic book covers, and dreamworks used wanted poster art to do the same thing. I don’t know if I really like that aspect of the movie. I like that the animation style is similar, but it just seems almost like dreamworks is trying to ride off of another studio’s success
Death is so good as a villain. I love his character. He’s kind of the “big bad wolf” but we know he’s not the actual one cause the big bad wolf is Shrek’s friend. His whistling is such as badass quirk of his character. He barely even feels like the villain to a PG movie. He’s just so cool
Yo Mell, if you look in the crowd during the ogre fight in the beginning you'll see the wolf waiting.
Jadd J.A.D.D. Jadd
This is not just a great sequel. It's a great movie. Every single moment is beautifully made and executed.
What I love personally about Lobo is that you can see in almost every shot he is the amount of anger he has towards Puss for how arrogant and egotistical he is about the concept of death. In his expression, in how he drags Puss across the table in the bar scene, and even more in the final scenes in the Cave of Lost Souls and the final fight, you can see how much personal anger he has that’s boiling just beneath he surface. And yet despite all of this, he is still very reasonable and not diluted or egotistical because of his power as being an essentially omnipotent being. And that to me is just really, REALLY refreshing to see in a villain.
I think most people could see death but unless for some reason he was actively coming for you like he did with puss no one really cared he was there. Keep in mind this is a world of magic and talking animals as pretty common sights so no one likely question what a big talking wolf walking around was up to unless he gave them a reason.
Papa bear is ray winstone.. he was mr french in the departed.. very talented
Death was terrifying ngl. Watching this movie without any context on who the wolf is just mind blowing. He was such a surprise which is why almost everybody loved him. Also jack horner is severely underrated
Jack Horner is hilarious as hell
Oh a lot of people love Jack Horner. He got a big fanbase.
Jack Horner ain't underrated at all, he's the most memed of the 3 antagonists
@@rickygforce4217 Nah, Death gets more attention. Though Horner s definitely getting more now because Death became so overhyped that people got tired of it.
@@cameronjosephvideos5942 did I ever say Horner got more attention than Death? Hm?
death is truly one of the best characters of all time to me!!! he genuinely scares me a little, u really feel his importance and power from his first appearance! he really shows u that avoiding death only leads to dead ends lol
Perrito is translated in English as little dog. Fun fact: Burrito is translated in English as little donkey.
The next. Shrek movie will probably have perrito,kitty,and puss and I think shrek will be confused about kitty and perrito it would be awesome
The thing with Death is there isn't really a way to beat him. Presumably at least. Wishing death away from the world... people can't die. Wishing for more lives is just running away. The best way to beat death is to accept it with grace when the time comes, but until then, defend your life with vigor.
Also, Perrito basically just means little dog.
Mello I just recently started watching you about a month or so ago but ngl you’re my favorite movie reactor because of how you react to certain things and it’s always almost exactly how I reacted to seeing those things and your hilarious as well. Can’t wait for even more great reactions
That’s really cool that you don’t hide when you get choked up with all the trolls on UA-cam. Keep being real. I respect that you keep your reactions real.
The voice actor for death is actually the guy who acted as Pablo Escobar from Narcos series
@Mellverse
The coins in the Death Wolf's eyes when Puss and Kitty Softpaws escape Big Jack Horner. That's a reference to Charon, the Ferryman of Hades in ancient Greek mythology.
1.Death is easily the best antagonist in the whole movie and that's saying something.
He's not evil. He's literally only after Puss because he feels insulted. Imagine being there since the birth and death of the first living thing, seeing civilisations and entire planets crumble into dust and the meeting this one rando who gets to have 9 lives instead of the usual 1 that everybody else gets and uses it to humiliate you and prop himself up.
But then at the finale he sees that Puss has been humbled and that he deserves to keep his final life.
2. Kitty isn't angry at Puss for not showing up , she didn't either, she was angry because she was *right* in the end.
3. Perrito is such a good addition to the cast. Everyone else is either evil, selfish or is dealing personal issues, meanwhile he's just happy to be included. He provides a good moral compass for Puss and Kitty
4. As good as Death was, Jack Horner ,Goldie and the 3 Bears were also *great*
2. She lied to him about ceremony
Apples were from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the "Eat Me" snack was from Alice in Wonderland, the grab bag is Marry Poppins' magical infinite bag... Movie had a ton of little references like that.
Fun fact: Puss in boots was originally a German folk fairy.. The bother grimm later wrote that fairy down and changed it to our modern version.
24:27 His voice actor is Wagner Moura, a brazilian actor. He had a role in the movies Elite Squad 1 and 2. I think you would like to watch these, since you also liked City of God.
Most definite recommendation. Loved Moura acting since the Elite Squad movies.
He also played Pablo Escobar in Narcos
damn i wasn’t expecting to love this reaction/movie as much as i did🥺💗
Let's take a moment to appreciate how both Spiderverse first and Arcane then influenced the animation industry with such beautiful hybrids between 2d and 3d 💕💕💕
30:57 perrito means little dog and if I had a wish I’d wish for the ability to bring things to life. To explain similar to illusions or that crystal from teen titans where they saw the sum of their parts. That’s what I mean for my wish it would be cool to be able to do that. Bringing what’s inside me into the real world it would be an interesting power to have. Not to
mention it could help me understand myself better. Also I could help people pretty well if there were a bunch of me.
Best animated movie of the year
they couldnt see him before but they could at the end, i think its more about the message of death that u cant out run it and if u try u will always be running
I learned more Spanish from this movie than 2 years of high school.
Gracias, gato.
I think my favorite in this one is Kitty softpaws, overall hard to say there's a lot of good ones. I do love the way the map gives you a path based on your own heart and desires. Another reactor said Perrito was spanish for dog. My wish, well that's rather personal.
I was laughing my ass off with that talking bug
One of puss in boots past lives he was zorro 🤣 big up melloverse
I do adore Perrito because he's so kind and sweet despite the horrible life that he had but the standout for me was Death.
Tons of people in the media portrayed Death as a spiteful or horrible villain but Death is just part of life and sooner or later, you're gonna have to face it. In the movie he may seem to be a villain at first but he served as Puss' motivator since Puss was getting arrogant (I laugh at the face of death!) and when the sickle had managed to make him bleed, he was forced to recognize his mortality. He accidentally taught Puss on treasuring life since he compained about 'playing with his food' hinting that it *was* Puss' time to die but let him go out of begrudging respect. To me he falls into an antagonist while Jack Horner was the villain.
30:56 "Perrito" translates to "doggy" in Spanish.
This was the first time I got chills and nervous in a kids movie when the wolf came in
3:44 BUAAHAHAHAH that was brilliant
Just heard the news,Peritto VA now voicing Odie in the Garfield Movie (the one where Chris Pratt voice Garfield)
This the man I wanted to see watch this movie! Lets go!
Death is a really fun character, very well framed as this, unstoppable force lurking in every dark corner. The first scene is just so good, striking the fear of death, lasting death, into Puss. And the reasoning is simple, disliking the special rules cats have, especially one like Puss who doesn't appreciate what they had, who makes a point of stating he laughs at death. And, Death just so happened to take it personally.
And Horner. While there's nothing redeemable in his reasoning, there's also some interesting background to think about, because he was born a normal guy in a world of magic. The writers I think show just enough to understand what got under his skin, but don't linger on it, because, his reasons don't really matter, he's a monster, and happy that way. I always wonder if there was some symbolism in there two. A character from a fairy tale generally has growth, one from a nursery rhyme is innately one dimensional, like Horner is
Jimmy Stewart impressionist as Jiminy cricket love it. ❤😂😂😂❤
Perrito means “Little dog” im a little rusty so i hope im right
Yeah, you're right👍
It just stroke me now after many watch. But death is actually so fair. Not good or bad. But fair. He could have sliced Puss without him even knowing he was there. But instead he confronted him. He actually wanted him to see how bad his current ( and last ) life was. Many dialogue hint into this " i was there to witness all of them ( your lives/deaths ). You didn't cherished/ valued any of it ". He's literally chasing him not to truly kill him, but to teach him a lesson ( and maybe killing him for good if he can't understand it then ).
Also the many times he throw the sword at Puss saying " pick it up ". Really " Fight me and show me i'm wrong ". Death says he has come for him but let him escape so many times... I love how he was written. Really well done.
Damn i feel pretty bad for the chefs and their brutal deaths they really didn't deserve their fates. And them being loyal to jack even though jack do not care wether they die or live, hell he just let most of his henchmen die without helping them while they were dying to protect jack.
I'm just here for THE WOLF!!!!!🤩...And also Perrito.He's cute.🥰🐶 BTW 30:52 - 30:59 in Spanish,Perro=Dog,Perrito=Little Dog.
Perrito in Spanish means "little dog/puppy". Perro is "dog" and -ito/-ita in Spanish is a suffix used for attaching the attribute of "little" to something in a sort of endearing way. Hence why Kitty called her knife the "gattito blade" which literally means "little cat/kitty" blade. Gato is Spanish for cat.
