toned down the editing on this one so i could get it out to you all a lot quicker than usual (i had a busy week this week)... but regardless, WHAT A FILM!!! I ADORED THIS MOVIE!!! lemme know what you thought!!🤯😻
Not fun fact about this movies story: Antonio Banderas had a heart attack 6 years ago, and a sequel almost never happened because of it. It feels more emotional and personal because it is.
This hits me in a personal way too. My dad had a heart attack back in 2022. He felt he was given a second chance and needed to change. My dad loves Puss in Boots, this film is his fave.
And he’s still really fit and looks good at his age, I remember reading about a fitness instructor (slips my mind what his name was) had a heart attack while running on the treadmill. It just goes to show completely healthy people can be surprised by these health scares and that’s really scary, you just never know when death will become of you or come close
One thing you can notice about the start with the giant, when it swings the church bell it rings 8 times, signifying Puss's used up 8 lives and you can see Death in the crowd for a split second
Implying that while he respects Puss for learning his lesson, he doesn't like that his tormenting of him gave him the time he needed to do so... did I mention how much I love grim reaper characters?
Goldis outfit and appearance is meant to show how she's been raised by the bears. Her hair looks like bear ears, her earrings are mismatched like Mama Bear, the necklace and her eyes are the same as Baby Bear's, and the scars over her eyebrow match Papa Bears missing eye
Never in my life have I enjoyed being creeped out by a film... Until I saw this one. I respect the animation of Death so much! Incredible. Terrifying. 10/10.
One thing I'm looking forward to in Shrek 5: As much as we love Donkey and Perrito as characters, the combination of the two of them is going to drive Shrek INSANE.
Perrito is voiced by Harvey Guillén from What We Do in the Shadows, AND he also did the Spanish dub for this movie! As did Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek.
I love how they made fun of disney by making a cartoonishly evil "irredeemable monster" of a villain that basically wants the same thing as them (all the magic in the world so that no one else can have any) lol
I personally don't think Death is a villain in this story, he was quite literally doing, well, his job. Puss had been always mocking and challenging Death without knowing it, and being his last life, it was time for Death to go after him, his time is just getting closer. Death never intended to "kill him", i actually think he just wanted Puss to be aware of what was going to happen if he didn't live his last life correctly!
Death is often viewed as evil because their purpose is to take souls. But Death is just a natural part of life, and some people accept it with open arms, or fight until the very end. Puss had 9 lives, wasted them all, and still had the gall to exude arrogance in the face of his inevitable demise. And this movie was an excellent display of character growth for Puss.
Here's the thing, Death is very much, of his own admission, _NOT_ doing his job here. Death is cheating, killing someone before their time, because he feels personally slighted. Death very much did intend to kill Puss, when he found out Puss changed, he wasn't happy or glad, he was _pissed off._ He says "WHY THE HELL DID I HAVE HAVE TO PLAY WITH MY FOOD!?!" When Puss stood up to him then says "You're ruining this for me!" Those are the words of someone who just had their fun ruined, not someone teaching someone a lesson.
I have already had this conversation with many people I refuse to argue so I beg you to agree. He wasn't really doing his job, unless his job was to forcibly kill others before their time, get it? He was, literally in his own words, angry with him and he knew that this was cheating, and even then, he still decided to chase him down. BUT. Here comes the part where I agree with you. Although Death was really acting as an antagonist and going beyond the limits of his job to kill the protagonist, how else could Death be represented? It would be very ironic if death is cool and understandable, if your job is to kill you have to have a certain level of not-caring boredom and a chaotic god-complex. So even though Death really wasn't being fair and was deliberately trying to kill by force, could be explained by the fact that he felt anger that he died several times for stupid reasons, emphasis on the phrase "laughing at death", Death wanted to give him a lesson, even if that meant breaking the rules, something had to be done or he would do everything wrong again, wasting lives. So Death could be a Chaotic Neutral Antagonist, He has a role in "society" that has to be done to maintain control and balance of everything, but he would go so far as to break the rules for a little fun or to teach a lesson. Something like, being a lawfully correct bartender but still allow yourself to be bribed by a criminal group to see the police struggle a little more and have fun or to simply earn more money, you know, like real lif-
The only thing that rly makes him a villain is him "cheating" He said so himself, basically taking Puss' life before his time... but yea he was rly an antagonist more than a villain which was gold
This is one of the only sequels i actually prefer over the first movie, not to say the first movie isn't amazing but the visuals and storytelling with this one is stronger imo.
@@Stratelier I agree. The villains weren't memorable, the story could've been much better, and I couldn't stand Humpty. The only memorable thing was when Puss and Kitty were on the scene, and of course... kitten Puss.
I was around 12 when the first one came out, I remember I liked it a lot back then, but yeah no in my opinion it has absolutely nothing on this god tier film, but very few movies do.
Fun fact: If you watch the bar fight scene closely, you can see that the camera is almost always tilted to a degree when Death is shown. There is one shot where the ground is almost diagonally to the frame. I saw a video from a creator called No The Robot, someone with experience in the animation industry and he speaks explains that it adds to the feeling of „off-ness“ you encounter when you see the Wolf for the first time, that sense that there’s more to him than simply being a bounty hunter. As No The Robot says, there is nothing by accident in animation, every detail is put in intentionally. Edit: At 6:28, when Death catches Puss‘ blades and the camera turns back to Puss, you can see it literally tilting back to a normal angle. You don’t really notice until you are aware, but our brains do, subconsciously. Also, having the sequel after such a long time gives me a little bit of hope that maybe, one day, Warner Bros and Zach Snyder will give the Owls of Ga‘Hoole another try, because I freaking love that movie so much.
That title is hard to believe considering everyone who saw this movie couldn't stop talking about it for over a year XD But the love and praise is VERYYY well deserved!! This is still my absolute favorite Dreamworks movie, everything about it is so perfect and well crafted together!! The level of detail, work, care, and love absolutely pours from this film, this truly is a diamond in the animation industry! If I'm being totally honest, as well, Puss is probably my favorite protagonist in Dreamworks too, as well as Death being my favorite antagonist! Both of them are just SOOO well written and portrayed! Puss feels like such a realistic character who really has to go through change and accepting his life can't stay the same anymore, and he has to swallow his pride and learn how to be vulnerable about his troubles to earn back the love of people he's lost in his life, as well as embrace the fear he feels in order to earn Death's respect and all that. I'm a sucker for stories where characters find reasons to live and value their life, it's SOOO good!! Not to mention the found family aspects with Puss finally finding the support he needs in Kitty and Perrito (He has a THERAPY dog now, that touches my heart 😭). Also, Puss' anxiety hit me on a personal level for sure. That panic attack scene is still so powerful, and I'm so glad the people who made this movie took everything so seriously and knew just how to blend in all the comedy and emotional elements without anything feeling out of place! The whole plot is one of the most masterful ways I've seen the concept of death and anxiety portrayed alongside each other in a PG movie. The story definitely hit close to home for a lot of people I'm sure, which makes it timeless and SO rewatchable! I absolutely adore this movie, through and through, and I'm so happy to see you react to it! It deserves all the attention it can get! 💙
@@niallnochill Yea!! Of course, everyone feels for it different ways, but it's definitely held high by a lot of people. I'm just one of the ones who favores it, and I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way 💙
Goldi is closest to Mama Bear because after the first Shrek, Papa fell in love again and made her the new Mama Bear. She, out of all of them, understands Goldis disconnect of becoming a part of a family you weren’t born in.
Y'know? I had clean forgot about the mama bear rug, and the fact that the three bears showed up in the first Shek. 8T I think i need to rewatch the whole series again.
So many lessons in the movie, i love it TLDR for non Spanish speakers, Gato is cat. Lobo is the Death wolf character his name is literally death. Perrito is dog/lapdog or little dog
So when the wolf, Death, says he witnessed "all of" Puss's deaths, go rewatch the opening fight with the giant -- when the camera pans across the crowd doing "the wave", the wolf can be found near the top-left of frame, standing quietly behind the crowd in a dark alley. I think my favorite moment is when Perrito shows up outside Jack's factory ("easy peasy..." -- "...lemon squeezy!") because once that happens, you just KNOW he's going to tag along for the entire adventure. Followed by that awkward moment when Puss, Kitty, Goldie, and Jack all meet each other and it's revealed that _everybody already knows each other_ in one way or another. My hot take for this film is even Jack Horner "got" what he wished for: he gets to BE the new Wishing Star, with access to all the magic in the world. It only cost him himself.
This movie was golden! I watched it in theaters and I was hooked from the beginning! Death was such a cool villain and it didn’t hurt I was strangely attracted to his voice 😅 Goldie and the bears was such a sweet secondary plot… I LOVE this movie ❤❤❤
I watched an analysis video when this movie first came out about the antagonists and it talked about how there's two main things going on with Puss in this story- both the journey for the wish as well as his character growth arc. Jack Horner as an antagonist is involved with the wish plotline but not the character growth plot, Death is involved with the character growth aspect of the story but doesn't care at all about the wish, and Goldy starts as competition for the wish but later is revealed to actually be on her own character growth arc that parallels Puss' so eventually becomes his ally. I think that the different ways the antagonists are involved with the story is vital for allowing the tension to stay so high, because there's so many "villains" (even though arguably Jack is the only true villain), but not feel like things are repetitive. Quite possibly one of the best antagonist rosters I've ever seen in a movie.
I really love how DreamWorks wanted to sort of celebrate their step into the world of mixing 2D and 3D. For the marketing of the movie, as far as I remember, all we really saw was the art style change, not really Puss, and it was so exciting because the bits of Puss we could see were pretty different from the 2011 film, like beyond a simply art style change. I made sure to avoid any ads and spoilers once I decided to go see it, and the opening of the film just kept hyping everyone up for his new look. And building up to a musical number was brilliant. There was a bit of cheering and clapping when his face was finally revealed, I loved it. His design is perfect, no notes. And I'm so happy everyone seems to like it ^^
fun fact; Perrito shares the same va (Harvey Guillén) as a new Helluva Boss character who was originally an overlord in the Hazbin Hotel pilot. He's a parrot named Vassago (my pfp) and also he has a few things in common with Stolas and Andrealphus: bird, goetia, likes men 🌈
One of my favorite details: The cards counting down Puss' deaths... the corner motifs are the wolf. I also love that, in the end, Goldilocks' dress goes from blue to brown, more closely resembling the bears. For me, Death isn't a villain. Antagonist, but he isn't evil. At the start of the movie, Puss is being pretty awful, objectively speaking. Like, everyone at that party was going to end up in jail because Puss had to put the party on at the governor's mansion. Not to mention the danger that everyone was in, just being around a sword fight... where fireworks were used as weapons... oh, and the fact that Puss going over the top with the fireworks woke up the giant, which would have gotten people eaten. Yes, in the end, Puss made sure that no one died or went to prison (that we know of), but it doesn't change the fact that he was the reason any of them were in danger in the first place. I think it would be foolish to think that this was the first time he's put people in danger in service of "The Legend." And, sure, Death leaves him alone through his depression, but the moment he goes back to his showboating and putting people's lives in danger (seriously, it would not have been difficult for someone to die by being run over by a horse there), there is Death, reminding him to be careful. And... at the end of the day... Death does succeed in "killing" that version of Puss, letting the new Puss (who appreciates and respects the people close to him, rather than just the legend) live. At the end of the day, there is so much beauty, artistry, and visual storytelling in this one, and it is just SO satisfying!
I'm so glad you watched this! I remember bringing it up during one of your live streams (can't wait for another one btw). It is absolutely the best in the Shrek universe since Shrek 2 imo. I don't watch all the big animated films that come out these days, but something about this series(?) Is just impossible to ignore. As a humble viewer, I SINCERELY hope you check out the Kung Fu Panda trilogy (yes there's 4 but we pretend there's 3). It hits the same level of humor, action, and heartfelt emotion from How to Train Your Dragon. I think you'd really like them, Niall. Can't wait for your next video in this journey, xoxo.
You can see Death in all of Puss' deaths. If you look at the corner of the vignettes there's a stylised version of the wolf. This was edited out of the trailers to avoid spoilers.
Since you mentioned this is the type of animation you adore, you should definitely give the Spiderverse films a watch! They revolutionized the specific animation styles that The Last Wish utilizes so well, and both the movies have got me on the edge of my seat every single time purely because of the stunning visuals and color palettes alone!
The entire cast is amazing, but I'd just like to shout out to Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Mama Luna. Mama Luna may have been a bit eccentric but she meant well. I would have loved a post-credit scene in which she is overseeing repairs on her home when a cart delivers a huge, heavy package. Mama reads the attached note: "Thank you for your hospitality. Please accept this golden gift from Puss in Boots. Sincerely, Pickles." She opens the package to find fifty gold litter boxes.
You’re 100% right that Goldi and the Bears are the antiheroes of the film! They just had their own goal that made them competition for the main crew, but at the end when they no longer needed the Wish, sided with Puss and Team Friendship to stop Jack Horner. Jack Horner is obviously the villain, he’s just irredeemably evil and doesn’t care about anyone but himself (not even his own team does he care about as we saw, aha-), but the best ‘villain’ was definitely Death. Death is the antagonist, as his only job was the teach Puss a lesson about learning to value life, since what he was really pissed off about was Puss not acknowledging his own privilege of having eight more lives than everyone else. He wasn’t angry at Puss saying he laughs in the face of Death, but rather how he essentially laughed in the face of Life, and took it for granted in stupid in reckless ways. He literally says, “I find the very idea of nine lives absurd, and you didn’t value any of them.” Then when Puss learned his lesson, Death lets him go. It’s incredible how the most intimidating character in this film is also so caring about life and about valuing it and living it to the best of your ability. Death really does care more than is initially thought. Absolutely my favorite Dreamworks antagonist, and Dreamworks film hands down. So glad you watched it!
Just when you thought it couldn't get better with Shrek 2. Another example on how you do a sequel... no, scratch that. How you do a movie, period! All kinds of awesome villains with different motivations, great animation and soundtrack, an awesome sidekick, higher stakes, and of course, one heck of a life lessons. Death everywhere too (no pun intended) so there was no fear in trying things differently and far more extreme than previous attemps. They took risks with this movie, and it worked beautifully. Is it any wonder why it was so extremely popular? 😂 Also, I know Death is the favorite of many, but let's take the time to appreciate what an awesome villain Jack Horner is. I hate when characters forgive villains too quickly or try too hard to change them, or worse yet, when they make villains seem sympathetic because of their motivations or circumstances. Disney has been doing that a lot lately. Some people, even in real life, are really that evil because they enjoy it or for the stupidest and pettiest of reasons. Greed and jealousy especially.
One of my favorite moments in this movie is when death put the coins on his eyes after they stole the map, because in Greek mythology, the practice of placing coins over the eyes of the dead was believed to serve as payment to Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld
If you love this animation style, you should DEFINITELY check out Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. One of, if not THE, most creatively genuis animation styles I've ever seen. And amazing story to boot! 😊
You should watch Home. It’s another fantastic DreamWorks movie. I watched it in the movie theater when it came out and I LOVED it!!! I think you will really enjoy it too!
I think that the villain in Puss in Boots is not a villain, but rather an anti-hero, I think! The film is very cool, and your reactions are so sweet and emotional that I just want to hug you through the screen!! ❤
I think you're the first person I've seen that actually knew the Jack Horner nursery rhyme. Everyone always seems so confused/has never heard of it and I was beginning to think I was weird growing up learning all kinds of nursery rhymes and fairy tales.
For me, this one is the best of the Shrek-verse. And, of course, the easter eggs in this are... amazing. Go back through and watch the movie again. When Puss defeats the giant, they do a pan shot across the crowd... and you can see someone familiar in the background _not_ cheering. When they go through the list of the ways Puss has died, there's a card with the number in it for each one. Check out the corners of each card. When Goldie Locks is in the cabin with the bears, there's a book. Read downward, the first letters of each line. I think there are more, but I can't remember them right now. I don't remember the other Puss movie, either. Except the reason she's called Kitty Softpaws. She had an owner once... and they declawed her. This is a practice which, today, is considered abuse in many places. For some cats, the surgery leads to chronic pain. They basically end up hurting for the rest of their lives. All to spare furniture. I would never declaw a cat. Just so you're aware, "perrito" is Spanish for "little dog". Good reaction! Have a nice day!
Omg you should totally watch Wendle & Wild you would love that movie it is such a good movie and it also is kind of an emotional movie wich i think is perfect for you! If you can you should consider watching it.
Perrito’s voice actor is in on of my fav shows, What we do in the shadows, and i think u would adore it, there is a movie and its great but is not as good as the show
The weapons wielded by Death are actually called sickles. They're basically small versions of the full-sized scythe(though I think they may predate the scythe 🤔). If you're at all a reader there's some fantasy novels by the author Jenniffer Wardell that basically turn typical fairy tale stuff on its head. You don't have to read them in any particular order as each novel is it's own independent story, though they all take place in the same universe/setting, but some of the more recent novels do make vague references to things connected to earlier novels. The author does more than fantasy, but I haven't read those that weren't fantasy so I'll only list the novels I've read(in order of publication): *Fairy Godmothers Inc.* *Beast Charming* *Huff and Puff* *Two Left Feet* *Fighting Sleep* (which is a rewrite of their own novel Dreamless) Lastly there's *Once Upon a Tale* which isn't a novel so much as a collection of short stories showing more about some of the characters from *Fairy Godmothers Inc.* and *Beast Charming* specifically(most of them are bits of backstory before those novels but there's one that gives a glimpse of things after one of the novels).
Ahh i dunno I gotta disagree with the idea that Kitty wasn't in Santa Coloma XD Personally, it doesn't make sense for her to be as upset if she wasn't there (especially when her wish was for someone she could trust. How can she be so sure he's untrustworthy if she wasn't there to have her trust broken?). I think she just said she wasn't so that Puss would stop feeling bad since she found out he actually does regret it. Saying she wasn't there and telling him that 'she knew' he was too vain to care about someone else forces him to really reflect, and it puts them back on equal ground. If, to his knowledge, they both weren't there they can basically start over again. Also side note, did ya catch when Kitty takes her mask off and puts in on? It shows how she's opening up to people!
Hey Niall is you haven’t watched Pixar’s Souls please do a reaction of it. It’ll definitely change your perspective on life itself and it’s gonna tug on your heartstrings. :)

In Goldis storybook, if you look at the first letters and read it vertically, it spells out, "You already have it."
WHATTTTT! I NEVER NOTICED THAT AND I’VE WATCHED THE MOVIE LIKE SIX TIMES THAT’S SUCH A COOL DETAIL 😭

This is why I love this movie! There are so many little details and it’s wonderful.

also in the bar when death shows up puss is surrounded by 8 empty shot glasses and is drinking his 9th
@@niallnochillDeath is also seen in the background during that scene
And at the bar scene, he quickly goes through 8 drinks, while Lobo shows up while he's drinking his 9th.

I absolutely adore this movie, through and through, and I'm so happy to see you react to it! It deserves all the attention it can get! 💙
i heard it was good… but THIS good!?
@@niallnochill Yea!! Of course, everyone feels for it different ways, but it's definitely held high by a lot of people.
I'm just one of the ones who favores it, and I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way 💙
heyyo :3
i love how everybody's reaction to perrito explaining his backstory is the same as puss and kitty's, just utterly horrified x'D
Goldi is closest to Mama Bear because after the first Shrek, Papa fell in love again and made her the new Mama Bear.
She, out of all of them, understands Goldis disconnect of becoming a part of a family you weren’t born in.
Y'know? I had clean forgot about the mama bear rug, and the fact that the three bears showed up in the first Shek. 8T
I think i need to rewatch the whole series again.
Omfg 🤯 no wonder they became a crime family
omfg I FORGOT THEY Were IN SHREK STOP
So many lessons in the movie, i love it
TLDR for non Spanish speakers, Gato is cat. Lobo is the Death wolf character his name is literally death. Perrito is dog/lapdog or little dog
And Gatito is kitten
Lobo means Wolf, Muerte means Death.
So when the wolf, Death, says he witnessed "all of" Puss's deaths, go rewatch the opening fight with the giant -- when the camera pans across the crowd doing "the wave", the wolf can be found near the top-left of frame, standing quietly behind the crowd in a dark alley.
I think my favorite moment is when Perrito shows up outside Jack's factory ("easy peasy..." -- "...lemon squeezy!") because once that happens, you just KNOW he's going to tag along for the entire adventure. Followed by that awkward moment when Puss, Kitty, Goldie, and Jack all meet each other and it's revealed that _everybody already knows each other_ in one way or another.
My hot take for this film is even Jack Horner "got" what he wished for: he gets to BE the new Wishing Star, with access to all the magic in the world. It only cost him himself.
I love the way they animated everything when the map changed. It looked like a pop-up book. Such a cool touch.
watching this in theaters was INSANE especially the scenes with death it was like genuinely scary lol
This movie was golden! I watched it in theaters and I was hooked from the beginning! Death was such a cool villain and it didn’t hurt I was strangely attracted to his voice 😅
Goldie and the bears was such a sweet secondary plot…
I LOVE this movie ❤❤❤
They modeled the ethical bug’s mannerisms from actor Jimmy Stewart, one of my favorite performers.
You are the only reactor I’ve seen that recognized the Jack Horner nursery rhyme 😅
AAAAH, NIALL IS WATCHING A COOL CARTOON AGAIN!!! 👹❤️❤️
not a cool cartoon 😭😂
"I thought I'd come out naked, but my clothes grew too." Is an Alice in Wonderland reference I think?
Shrek 5 has been confirmed, wonder if they'll include both Perrito and Kitty
Let's go! The animation is so good and the messages had me laughing and crying. Looking forward to this! 😊❤️
I watched an analysis video when this movie first came out about the antagonists and it talked about how there's two main things going on with Puss in this story- both the journey for the wish as well as his character growth arc. Jack Horner as an antagonist is involved with the wish plotline but not the character growth plot, Death is involved with the character growth aspect of the story but doesn't care at all about the wish, and Goldy starts as competition for the wish but later is revealed to actually be on her own character growth arc that parallels Puss' so eventually becomes his ally. I think that the different ways the antagonists are involved with the story is vital for allowing the tension to stay so high, because there's so many "villains" (even though arguably Jack is the only true villain), but not feel like things are repetitive. Quite possibly one of the best antagonist rosters I've ever seen in a movie.
I really love how DreamWorks wanted to sort of celebrate their step into the world of mixing 2D and 3D. For the marketing of the movie, as far as I remember, all we really saw was the art style change, not really Puss, and it was so exciting because the bits of Puss we could see were pretty different from the 2011 film, like beyond a simply art style change. I made sure to avoid any ads and spoilers once I decided to go see it, and the opening of the film just kept hyping everyone up for his new look. And building up to a musical number was brilliant. There was a bit of cheering and clapping when his face was finally revealed, I loved it. His design is perfect, no notes. And I'm so happy everyone seems to like it ^^
fun fact; Perrito shares the same va (Harvey Guillén) as a new Helluva Boss character who was originally an overlord in the Hazbin Hotel pilot. He's a parrot named Vassago (my pfp) and also he has a few things in common with Stolas and Andrealphus: bird, goetia, likes men 🌈
Perrito is the emotional support dog we all deserve. ❤🐾
the voice of Death is a brazilian actor/director called Wagner Moura, he is one of the main actor on Civil War the 2024 movie, HE IS A BRAZILIAN ICON
Also remember the animation for Puss when we see him in the first shrek movie? Man has it evolved
One of my favorite details: The cards counting down Puss' deaths... the corner motifs are the wolf. I also love that, in the end, Goldilocks' dress goes from blue to brown, more closely resembling the bears.
For me, Death isn't a villain. Antagonist, but he isn't evil. At the start of the movie, Puss is being pretty awful, objectively speaking. Like, everyone at that party was going to end up in jail because Puss had to put the party on at the governor's mansion. Not to mention the danger that everyone was in, just being around a sword fight... where fireworks were used as weapons... oh, and the fact that Puss going over the top with the fireworks woke up the giant, which would have gotten people eaten. Yes, in the end, Puss made sure that no one died or went to prison (that we know of), but it doesn't change the fact that he was the reason any of them were in danger in the first place. I think it would be foolish to think that this was the first time he's put people in danger in service of "The Legend." And, sure, Death leaves him alone through his depression, but the moment he goes back to his showboating and putting people's lives in danger (seriously, it would not have been difficult for someone to die by being run over by a horse there), there is Death, reminding him to be careful. And... at the end of the day... Death does succeed in "killing" that version of Puss, letting the new Puss (who appreciates and respects the people close to him, rather than just the legend) live.
At the end of the day, there is so much beauty, artistry, and visual storytelling in this one, and it is just SO satisfying!
yess omg when i saw this in cinemas i was not prepared for how good it was gonna be
Jack Horner makes me glad I switched to a job with union.
There might be a million reactions out there but YAYY MY FAVORITE SCOTTISH GUY IS WATCHING IT ✨️ gotta go watch shrek now omg
i love how everyone is putting in their fun facts in the comments because the more i learn about this movie the more i love it.
I'm so glad you watched this! I remember bringing it up during one of your live streams (can't wait for another one btw). It is absolutely the best in the Shrek universe since Shrek 2 imo. I don't watch all the big animated films that come out these days, but something about this series(?) Is just impossible to ignore.
As a humble viewer, I SINCERELY hope you check out the Kung Fu Panda trilogy (yes there's 4 but we pretend there's 3). It hits the same level of humor, action, and heartfelt emotion from How to Train Your Dragon. I think you'd really like them, Niall. Can't wait for your next video in this journey, xoxo.
I watched it with my mom Yesterday it was amazing It helped me be less afraid of death Perrito is my third favorite dog after My Owns
This movie holds a special place in my part 💕 Puss was my favorite in Shrek
You can see Death in all of Puss' deaths. If you look at the corner of the vignettes there's a stylised version of the wolf. This was edited out of the trailers to avoid spoilers.
There's an easter egg you wouldn't think to look for in a first time watch. During the fight against the giant, Death appears in the crowd.
In the story book Goldi has you can see that in the slip with the names of those who have issued is Hansel and Gretel's names pop up.
why did they make that death wolf so scary😭😭😭 like genuinely makes me feel like a horror movie can when he pops out💀
Since you mentioned this is the type of animation you adore, you should definitely give the Spiderverse films a watch! They revolutionized the specific animation styles that The Last Wish utilizes so well, and both the movies have got me on the edge of my seat every single time purely because of the stunning visuals and color palettes alone!
this was one of my favorite films of all time!!! Whether animated or not, my favorite. I can watch it over and over again! 10/10😊
SO EXCITED FOR THIS
The entire cast is amazing, but I'd just like to shout out to Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Mama Luna. Mama Luna may have been a bit eccentric but she meant well. I would have loved a post-credit scene in which she is overseeing repairs on her home when a cart delivers a huge, heavy package. Mama reads the attached note: "Thank you for your hospitality. Please accept this golden gift from Puss in Boots. Sincerely, Pickles." She opens the package to find fifty gold litter boxes.
love this one sm
loved you guessed the wolfs identity right off the bat
I think Perrito's path might be the worse of the lot because the darkness is hidden.
Also everyone including the villians got their wishes granted.
I just realized that at 5:55 when death is chuckling and talking he kinda sounds like Nick Wilde from zootopia
You’re 100% right that Goldi and the Bears are the antiheroes of the film! They just had their own goal that made them competition for the main crew, but at the end when they no longer needed the Wish, sided with Puss and Team Friendship to stop Jack Horner. Jack Horner is obviously the villain, he’s just irredeemably evil and doesn’t care about anyone but himself (not even his own team does he care about as we saw, aha-), but the best ‘villain’ was definitely Death.
Death is the antagonist, as his only job was the teach Puss a lesson about learning to value life, since what he was really pissed off about was Puss not acknowledging his own privilege of having eight more lives than everyone else. He wasn’t angry at Puss saying he laughs in the face of Death, but rather how he essentially laughed in the face of Life, and took it for granted in stupid in reckless ways. He literally says, “I find the very idea of nine lives absurd, and you didn’t value any of them.” Then when Puss learned his lesson, Death lets him go.
It’s incredible how the most intimidating character in this film is also so caring about life and about valuing it and living it to the best of your ability. Death really does care more than is initially thought. Absolutely my favorite Dreamworks antagonist, and Dreamworks film hands down. So glad you watched it!
Just when you thought it couldn't get better with Shrek 2. Another example on how you do a sequel... no, scratch that. How you do a movie, period! All kinds of awesome villains with different motivations, great animation and soundtrack, an awesome sidekick, higher stakes, and of course, one heck of a life lessons. Death everywhere too (no pun intended) so there was no fear in trying things differently and far more extreme than previous attemps. They took risks with this movie, and it worked beautifully. Is it any wonder why it was so extremely popular? 😂
Also, I know Death is the favorite of many, but let's take the time to appreciate what an awesome villain Jack Horner is. I hate when characters forgive villains too quickly or try too hard to change them, or worse yet, when they make villains seem sympathetic because of their motivations or circumstances. Disney has been doing that a lot lately. Some people, even in real life, are really that evil because they enjoy it or for the stupidest and pettiest of reasons. Greed and jealousy especially.
Definitely my favorite from the Shrekverse! I’m so excited for the new Shrek movie!
The big bad wolf or death is the antagonist I think
One of my favorite moments in this movie is when death put the coins on his eyes after they stole the map, because in Greek mythology, the practice of placing coins over the eyes of the dead was believed to serve as payment to Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld
22:04 Good Perrito.
I've been waiting for your reaction to this!!
This movie was so good!! I have been waiting for you to react to it! Raya and the last dragon is the only one left on my list now.
oh my gosh, I’m gonna have to put Raya off to keep you coming back for more 😭😭
You are my favorite reactor along Ange and Carlie. Great vibes!
If you love this animation style, you should DEFINITELY check out Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. One of, if not THE, most creatively genuis animation styles I've ever seen. And amazing story to boot! 😊
Let's gooooo! Thanks for posting!❤
You should watch Home. It’s another fantastic DreamWorks movie. I watched it in the movie theater when it came out and I LOVED it!!! I think you will really enjoy it too!
I was obsessed with this film for quite a while after I first saw it.
Have you watched Del Toro’s Pinocchio? If not, I highly recommend it! LIKE REALLY!!! 😭
Oh my gooooodddr I’m so excited to see this!!!
I think that the villain in Puss in Boots is not a villain, but rather an anti-hero, I think! The film is very cool, and your reactions are so sweet and emotional that I just want to hug you through the screen!! ❤
I think you're the first person I've seen that actually knew the Jack Horner nursery rhyme. Everyone always seems so confused/has never heard of it and I was beginning to think I was weird growing up learning all kinds of nursery rhymes and fairy tales.
Dreamwork’s are always the G
I lovee this movie so much
1:41 Sing it gurrrl 🎀 perioddddd 💗💅😌🌈
Carnivorous roses, yeah that’s why nature’s not to be messed with.
You should do Balto next it’s a underrated classic
YIPPIEEEE I was looking forward to you watching it 😍💕
For me, this one is the best of the Shrek-verse.
And, of course, the easter eggs in this are... amazing. Go back through and watch the movie again.
When Puss defeats the giant, they do a pan shot across the crowd... and you can see someone familiar in the background _not_ cheering.
When they go through the list of the ways Puss has died, there's a card with the number in it for each one. Check out the corners of each card.
When Goldie Locks is in the cabin with the bears, there's a book. Read downward, the first letters of each line.
I think there are more, but I can't remember them right now.
I don't remember the other Puss movie, either. Except the reason she's called Kitty Softpaws. She had an owner once... and they declawed her. This is a practice which, today, is considered abuse in many places. For some cats, the surgery leads to chronic pain. They basically end up hurting for the rest of their lives. All to spare furniture. I would never declaw a cat.
Just so you're aware, "perrito" is Spanish for "little dog".
Good reaction!
Have a nice day!
Omg you should totally watch Wendle & Wild you would love that movie it is such a good movie and it also is kind of an emotional movie wich i think is perfect for you! If you can you should consider watching it.
Perrito’s voice actor is in on of my fav shows, What we do in the shadows, and i think u would adore it, there is a movie and its great but is not as good as the show
The weapons wielded by Death are actually called sickles. They're basically small versions of the full-sized scythe(though I think they may predate the scythe 🤔).
If you're at all a reader there's some fantasy novels by the author Jenniffer Wardell that basically turn typical fairy tale stuff on its head.
You don't have to read them in any particular order as each novel is it's own independent story, though they all take place in the same universe/setting, but some of the more recent novels do make vague references to things connected to earlier novels.
The author does more than fantasy, but I haven't read those that weren't fantasy so I'll only list the novels I've read(in order of publication):
*Fairy Godmothers Inc.*
*Beast Charming*
*Huff and Puff*
*Two Left Feet*
*Fighting Sleep* (which is a rewrite of their own novel Dreamless)
Lastly there's *Once Upon a Tale* which isn't a novel so much as a collection of short stories showing more about some of the characters from *Fairy Godmothers Inc.* and *Beast Charming* specifically(most of them are bits of backstory before those novels but there's one that gives a glimpse of things after one of the novels).
You should watch The Sea Beast next!! It's a really cute movie, one of my favorites :))
FINAAAAAALLY!!!😆
My favorite character from Puss In Boots 2 movie is Puss In Boots and Kitty SoftPaws and Perrito ?
23:56 to hear AMONG US in this puss in boots the last wish video (he used the original sound!)
You are just the cutest~ and this reaction is great! hope youre doing well!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Niall have you heard that Shrek 5 is coming out in 2026 🥳
I am obessed with death
This movie was soooo good in the cinemas!
Damnit! Every time i watch this one it makes me cry like a baby!
Ahh i dunno I gotta disagree with the idea that Kitty wasn't in Santa Coloma XD Personally, it doesn't make sense for her to be as upset if she wasn't there (especially when her wish was for someone she could trust. How can she be so sure he's untrustworthy if she wasn't there to have her trust broken?). I think she just said she wasn't so that Puss would stop feeling bad since she found out he actually does regret it. Saying she wasn't there and telling him that 'she knew' he was too vain to care about someone else forces him to really reflect, and it puts them back on equal ground. If, to his knowledge, they both weren't there they can basically start over again.
Also side note, did ya catch when Kitty takes her mask off and puts in on? It shows how she's opening up to people!
I missed you😭
I missed u too 💚
You have the best energy!! ❤
Hey Niall is you haven’t watched Pixar’s Souls please do a reaction of it. It’ll definitely change your perspective on life itself and it’s gonna tug on your heartstrings. :)
