@@keip4568 I swear anti-furry is more vocally annoying than the furry themselves. At least furries don't waste time and resources on solely hating some group of people & invading other unrelated comment sections.
Perrito definitely had the ability to become the most annoying and hated character, but the way they handle him made him a good and lovable character. He's a happy-go-lucky character that doesn't inject himself into every scene. Emotional and serious scenes are allowed to breathe, and when he's part of it, he knows how to read the room. While nobody watched Strange World, the few that did have all stated that the dog character "Legend" was easily the most hated character. It's also a happy-go-lucky dog character like Perrito, but can't talk and is more-or-less a dog. The issue what that character is that he hogs every scene. No scene was allowed to have anything resembling emotions or seriousness because the dog injects itself into every scene for some levity (because Disney is considers any form of sincerity or emotions to be "kinda cringe"). Lots of reviewers also stated that they were ready to hate Perrito because they were afraid that he'd be _that_ type of side character, but he wasn't and everyone loves him for it.
Nicely said... I don't know whether it's a DreamWorks thing or a writer thing but they got their sidecharacters spot on in puss in boots. I did'nt watch stange world all I know is it's somehow connected to encanto, but I might give it a watch to understand what you said about Legend.
This! I was ready to hate him when he was first introduced in the movie because I was like "oh great, an annoying side character that'll follow the main character for no reason other than introducing new characters and comic relief..." and I really, really, really didn't like him all the way until they reach the dark forest... I think the key is how they know when to take their characters seriously and when not to take them seriously because when Perrito manages to calm Puss during his panic attack, it pays off from when he said that at Mama Luna's house and it wasn't Perrito doing something dumb or failing to calm Puss or making him the butt of a joke, Perrito not only manages to calm Puss down with putting his head over Puss, but then he listens to Puss and makes him feel comfortable talking about his fears and gives him good advice and I think that's when everyone realized that Perrito wasn't a joke, he was a fully realized character and I ended up loving him!
In the movie Puss would call him Perro (dog) when he needed him to act like "Perro start digging" or "drive Perro" every other time he never used a name for him, only saying you and your when he was around. After getting rid of the stick sword in place of the Gatito blade, Softpaws teases him that Puss is ready to name him, possible Chekhov's Gun? Anyway the scene would follow with Jack Horner showing up and all the chaos of the baby unicorn horns, and not too long after this is the iconic scene of Puss in the woods having a panic attack and the dog helping him calm down. "Thank you Perrito" That was the first time not only is Puss opening up to him but was also the moment he gave him his name because it's what a friend would call him. Also side tangent the joke of the stick sword has more impact if looking at perspective that this dog has only met this cat that morning and had no idea who Puss in Boots was or even heard of the legend, so when this grumpy old cat has you dig up some other cats grave to watch them put on their clothes the dog could've just assumed the cat was out of his mind about not having a sword, but Perrito just nods ok and then goes to find a sword for him. Like he didn't have to do that at all and had no knowledge or reason to, he just did it because he was oblivious and thought Puss was his friend and he just wanted to help a friend out. Considering this same stick sword Kitty would see, it made sense she would give him her gatito blade in place of it which would literally save his life in the end. All of this because a random dog he just met that morning wanted to help his new friend.
Perrito to me is not just a comic relief, but an emotional relief as well. When things are dark and the characters are in distress, having Perrito act as sort of a comfort animal, not to make jokes, but to support the main characters, is very relaxing.
It's amusing how Perrito manages to catalyze positive change in every character that needed it. Perrito convinces Puss of the value of life, helps him face his fears, *and* indirectly repairs the relationship between Puss and Kitty. He encourages Kitty to trust others by catalyzing Puss' character arc, helping Puss convey his guilt over Santa Coloma, and just directly being a trustworthy companion. He helps Goldilocks understand that the family she craved was right in front of her the whole time. Puss, Kitty and Goldilocks agree to tear the map apart because, with the help of Perrito, they learned to value what they had. The titular wish was no longer necessary. Perrito does all of this while also improving the ties between characters. His writing is simply phenomenal.
It's also fun to note that while the "good guys" (goldilocks and her family, kitty, and puss) moral center, Perrito is *successful* in helping his friends grow as people and turn their selfish wishes into a desire to be with and protect their chosen family; his mirror on the "villain's" side - the Talking Cricket from Pinocchio - _fails_ in trying to inspire goodness in Big Jack Horner, who flicks him aside and continues to pursue *his* selfish wish, only to ultimately punished for it. Whether or not this is a commentary on their active or passive therapy styles are effective, or if it's about how change and growth can only happen within those who _choose_ it, I'm not sure. But I enjoy it immensely.
@@ChickenTheThird I liked that Big Jack Horner was bad to the core without any redeeming qualities. Too much simpatetik villains nowadays. And even when Perrito used his big eyes to "soften him" it was distraction not an actual attempt to change his mind.
I'll say, Perrito is a simple flat arc character who catalyzes change in others. Paddington 2 proves that such characters can even helm their own story when done well, and in this case it's handled brilliantly
On the topic of flat characters, I watched Forrest Gump a few days ago. Tbh, that's the whole schtick of the movie: the main character, Forrest, is pretty much a flat character, he doesn't change much, but he goes through so many adventures and inspires change in so many other people. Also, he's driven, having his own aspirations which pull him forward, making him an active, though flat character; it's a perfect mix, since he pulls the story forward and brings out change in others as he moves along with his wishes and the WHOLE MOVIE is about HIM. So yeah, flat characters can drive a whole movie, as long as they are active.
@@leonardocouto3109 yeah Forrest Is pretty basic, but for some reason he stands out and changes the characters around him. I just was pretty annoyed with his whole situation with Jenny, I know Forrest is supposed to be clueless but common😅.
He's a flat character, but he's also a paragon. And paragon's by their nature, are made to be positive influences to those they work with (usually main characters).
@@leonardocouto3109 I just watched Green miles and same with John Coffey. He's implied to be a literal angel though, so it makes sense why he's unrealistically kind.
Since the wolf is Death, the Perrito is Life. They even have the same entrance. I have been trying to point this out for a while. They are exact opposites. He isn't oblivious of anything. He isn't comic relief. While he is in the role that looks like comic relief. Life is about stopping & smelling the posies. This analysis is purely surface level & he is much deeper than just comic relief. You called him a link & that's correct, the link between being alive & living life. Only Life can show you how to laugh & enjoy your moments. Death teaches you to respect Death & Perrito Teaches you how to respect yourself in your life living & appreciate the life you have.
I totally get your life and death analogy.The thing is I'm talking from a character scripting point of view. As much as there are deeper meanings that we might find, you need characters to act a certain way at their core to give them almost a function in a story. That's where I'm coming from.
@@zest2.5 but his function is greater than a side character. As he teaches puss very important life lessons. He is the opposite side of the same coin as death. He is a supporting character, yes. But he isn't a one off character. That character is probably going to play a role as something more later. Like I said, if he is a representation of life then everything he did was with intention. Positive impact intentions. You see him making positive impacts because he is making the right decisions at the right time. So, from a writing stand point of character tropes I was say he falls on wise mentor figure over comic relief, but since he looks like a silly puppy, first thoughts of him is comic relief. But life is just as silly. Enjoying life doesn't make you comic relief. Comic relief is to force tension down. It's the moment. Not the character, in this case. In most cases you would be 100% correct. But in this case it's just a surface level layer to the complex depth of this character. There's a lot of small little hidden clues that are placed right in front of us for us not to see it because of the comic relief. Like how DC's Barry Allen aka The Flash is purposely late to everything to keep everyone from knowing he is The Flash. Life is pretending to be comic relief while acting being the wise old stage. We never get an age on him, we just assumed he was a puppy cause he was small.
@@OblivionOdditiesProjectStudios okay Sergio. Reading this I have a better picture of what you're saying and I understand where you are coming from with Perrito.
I heard a lot of people say that their first impressions of Perrito based off of the trailers was that of an annoying comic relief character that was only there for the little kids but I was willing to give him a chance and I'm glad I did. Now I wish he was 'my' puppy.
Yh, Thats why it ain't good to judge a character by just a trailer. Take The Super Mario Bros Trailer for example... let's try to give Chris Pratt's Mario a chance before we start tearing into it.
I guess I'm fortunate. Had no idea about the character before watching the movie. Didn't plan to watch the movie, so I didn't pay attention to the trailers.
Perrito is also a fantastic foil to both Puss and Softpaws- Puss is full of himself and his identity is rooted in being a legend so when he's on his last life he loses his sense of self, while Perrito is humble, appreciates the beauty in everything around him, and cares about Puss to help Puss realize his identity outside his fearless hero identity. Kitty is guarded and feels she can't trust anyone, while Perrito is immediately trusting and optimistic. and like you said, Perrito bridges the two of them together and helps them both grow
I like to think how doglike his traits are as well; unwavering optimism/loyalty and cluelessness. As a dog lover, it instantly makes sense and feels believable!
I'd say he fills the mentor role. He knows the theme well the main character doesn't. Then he gose about teaching the theme to the main character. All be it more by example. "I've only ever had one life, but with you and kitty..." "What's wrong? Lives flashing before your eyes?" "No, just one..."
I feel what make Perrito likable is that he doesn't break much the mood and be supportive to the characters, second he doesn't create trouble caused by his naive or stupidity (actually by standard of his character trope I would say he doesn't have any "stupidity" that these characters have).
Exactly, they didn't insert him in all scenes, and when he was present, he was supposed to be there, and not making trouble or being q nuisance, they did a good job with Perrito.
Perrito is also the opposite of multiple other characters, because he appreciates what he has in life thoroughly, unlike both Jack and Puss, his embrace of everything in life is exactly what The Wolf wants people to have, especially cats. Perrito trusts other people, unlike Kitty, and sees the awesome family that Goldy has almost at a glance. Perrito also offers much needed perspective as he deals with the other characters. He really is the glue that holds the movie together.
2:16 which too be fair, Perrito doesnt seem to have every light on in his head, but the characters make note of this in universe so its not like it goes ignored. And given his backstory that somewhat explains it, as he chooses to focus on the good avoiding any negative thought, possibly as a coping mechanism for his traumatic past.
I remember my mom initially commenting on how Perrito sounded like a typical annoying character at the start, but by the end, she was rooting for him to make the wish, eheh.
I also loved how Perrito embodies the theme of the story of appreciating what is right in front of you, helping everyone recognize that they don't need a wish to be fulfilled or happy. The only other side characters I can think of who were this influential to the story and still super likable was Donkey in the original Shrek movie, and that's TOP NOTCH in my book 😁
Finally. After seeing Death videos everywhere in my reccomendations, I finally saw this Perrito video. It makes me happy. Don't get me wrong. I love Death, but Perrito is actually my favorite character. If this was done by modern Disney, it's gonna be another annoying talking animal, but thank heavens Dreamworks did it instead. Wonderful video!
I know right, we do act like we don't want side characters to add comic relief cause it gets annoying but it all depends on how the character is being applied.
In many ways, I believe Perrito's role in the "panic attack" scene is what completes his likeability. He might be oblivious, but he's not ignorant of other people's genuine need of help. When he finds Puss collapsed from fear in the woods, he STOPS being the comedy relief. He knows his friend is in trouble and makes a serious commitment to helping him. Perrito's aspiration to be a therapy dog wasn't some casual throw-away gag - it was a true intention. When the time came to be so, he fulfilled that role excellently. He rests his head on Puss to help ground him and calm down, he stays there quietly as Puss pets him in appreciation. And when Puss is calm, they have a sincere discussion of what's wrong and how to solve it. It's done 100% serious - no jokes, no ruining the tone and atmosphere; the movie slows down at this moment and waits until Puss and Perrito are ready to move along. And I say that's one of the reasons Perrito is seen by so many as a fantastic side character. He's not just there to lighten the mood, he's there to help people through heavy burdens as well. He's a genuine friend, and his actions explicitly make his friends, and even foes such as the Goldilocks family, become better people.
I found him to be just simple as can be. Takes things as they are and enjoys every moment along the way. I'm glad that he wasn't the "bumming idiot that turned out to be the wizard," trope, but just enduring sweet.
@@zest2.5 usually high fantasy or rpg games. where the person is lackluster and weights the party/hero down, but when they hit the end boss or level 100, they show who they really were or what they can become. None them really stand out (because I don't think they were rememberable) or just not worth the time as a player.
I was worried Perrito was going to be annoying or hog the screen, but instead he won everyone's heart. Perrito knowing cuss words made me laugh, but sad because his former owner probably said them around him.
I think another way it is shown but not outright with him is his version of the Dark Forest. Most people see it as the easiest and best. But it is only this way because of how Perrito sees the world. The flowers original rhyme is about the Black Death. The river they float down is the one he was drown in. The last is called the “easy way out” which is another way suicide is referred too. But Perrito being Perrito and the way his heart works none of them manifest in a horrible way.
I just liked how he's primarily not symmetrical. Most of the other characters have one or two things which throw off the balance of their design, but Perrito is just all over the place. One ear is always floppy, one tooth is always sticking out, one half of his head has more gray than the other, etc.
Nice point... Perrito not being symmetrical could represent his whole approach to life. He takes things for what they are and makes the best of every moment.
Everyone was just a W in this, I’m not gonna lie, the new characters like goldi & her fam, perrito, and jack horner, and death are basic in concept with what they bring to the table, for example, jack is just straight evil, no real sad motive drives him, he just wants power, that’s all, but somehow they did it soooo fucking well. And bro don’t get me started on perritos backstory, my jaw dropped when he said he was dropped in the river in a sock and rocks. And then he said he’s wearing it, I fucking lost it 😂😂😂 I was straight flabbergasted
Yeah me too.. the case of Jack Horner shows that even though a character is one note you can play into their strengths really well, instead of making them cliche.
One of my favorite things is that they didn't do the ally betrayal trope with Perrito. It's become so common for animated movies to make the protagonist betray the comedic relief character who's very nice but maybe a bit clingy and make it into an "emotional moment" and have them reconcile later on in the story after a "sad period" (even though it just makes me see the main character as a mean person) that I was totally expecting this film to do the same with Perrito, but they totally subverted the trope and made Puss actually like Perrito more and more because he proved himself to be a kind and supportive friend who could help Puss through tough times. We need more messages like this in kid's films
Great video! Enjoyed watching both, the film and your analysis. Perrito was annoying at first for me, but then transformed to enlighten the whole movie, giving actual advice for life. Plus, he plays the biggest role in the most emotional scene: the panic attack.
This was so well explained and I'm glad you put to words why hes such a fun side character and doesn't get annoying. I'm excited to see more of your content!
Before I watched the movie and I saw Perrito in the trailers I was so ready to just hate him and dread every second of his screentime thinking that they were gonna make him an overly annoying side character, but I'm really happy that they didn't! They actually let Perrito be his own character without him having to be just the comic relief! It was so easy for him to become a character no one wanted, but they way they wrote and characterized him made him easily one of my favorite characters! I can't wait to see him in the next film! He's what a lot of side characters should strive to be! 1. Supportive 2. Able to read the room and know when comedy isn't needed 3. Empathetic towards the struggles of the characters they interact with 4. Able to have scenes of their own that don't require a main character to push the story or their character development 5. Being able to lighten the mood in tense moments without taking away the importance of the tense moment. 6. Being able to push the story forward or serve as a catalyst for a main character or other side character's growth or development throughout the story. 7. Not take too much attention away from the main characters but still be able to garner enough attention to where they aren't forgettable
The panic attack scene is excellent because they gave it time to breathe, to just be and didn't cut it with an unnecessary joke or something, Puss even thanks Perrito for being there, and Perrito did his best as service dog, no words, just being there, it was perfect.
Comic reliefs are often seen to be stupid n oblivious but in Perrito's case, he's not oblivious. He's fully aware of what goes on around him but chooses to be optimistic n light hearted about it as a coping mechanism.
Yeah, that is another way to look at it. I think that might be a lot more correct than my own analysis. He just approaches things from a positive light, that's what makes him appear oblivious.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how he is a foil to puss. How puss is afraid of death and is pessimistic. And perrito is not afraid of death and is optimistic
I have a theory that Perrito was actually Jack Horner’s pet dog, and he abused him along with the other dogs, that he just threw him away because Jack’s dead inside, so of course he wouldn’t find Perrito adorable.
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 Yhh but then Jack does not really care about anyone, remember he would have a litter of puppies. So if he tried to get rid of one, he probably won't remember. Just playing into the theory though.
never, and I underline it, NEVER a side character made me genuinely cry like Perrito did -when he revealed his backstory and when he did the therapy dog thing. He's an angel, the purest of soul and perfectly balanced in the story. Another side character I really loved was Mushu, worthy coprotagonist in Mulan. Jar Jar will forever remain the verbatim example of everything wrong in a side character
Perrito reminded me a lot of Sox from Lightyear, where based on the advertising I thought he was gonna be really annoying but then when I actually went and saw the movie was like “Oh my god, this guy is amazing”
Perrito is the survivor of an abusive childhood, who came out of that abusive childhood as one of the nicest and most caring people you will ever meet.
I'm not going to lie, Perrito as a character massively threw me for a loop. I was not expecting his backstory to be as sad as it was, and I was ABSOLUTELY not expecting the bleepfest that was him out-ragging the bears. I guess I just...wasn't expecting a well written character.
They also needed Perrito to hold the map in order to navigate the dark forest safely. He was the only one of the three for whom the map allowed safe passage. So, Perrito became essential to the plot and fulfilling the two main characters' goals rather than Perrito being a useless side character
When seeing the trailers I thought Perrito was going to be a character I found annoying by the end of the film. I was very VERY pleasantly surprised when that wasn't the case, in fact, it was quite the opposite. He's my all-time favorite character to come out of this franchise. They handled him so well and knew when to reel him in if he was becoming too much, and knew when to let him have his quiet tender moments. Absolutely phenomenal writing!!!
A very nice review! Thank you for focusing on Perrito! I loved his character, and I agree that he was integral to the development of the other characters. Ya...that panic attack scene was beautifully done. They could have hammed it up or made it more obvious, but they went subtle, which I appreciated. I think they did that a lot throughout the movie.
Perrito deserves his own short at least his journey before he met puss. Like a lion king 1 1/2 where he's there in all of the shrek movies affecting them but not interacting with the main characters kind of short
@zest 2.5 I get that but imagine this. He's one of Farquaad's pups and the one who let the fairytale creatures escape in his naive nature Farquaad gets enraged and orders his men to get rid of him but everytime they do Perrito finds his way back hence why he's thrown in a river like he said he was.
Perrito is also kind of accurate. Many mexicans who experience trauma, a near death event or even straight of cruelty just laugh it off later when narrating it. That's why we have a dead's day, where the dead come back alive and party.
Edit: my comment below only stands for that small intro section :) Fantastic work here, it is so cool that you learned more about literature only to see why Perrito fit or didn't fit into common writing tropes or pitfalls. As an English major/writer, respect! Original comment: I am about 30 seconds into your video, and I'm very excited to hear your points, but I wanted to gently say that I am having a hard time hearing your voice against the techno music. I like the music and its inclusion! But the English subtitles, so far, are automatically generated, so I am having a bit of a hard time following. But still! Gracias por el video hasta ahora 💖
Ohh... Thanks. I did not get the sound right while editing. My later videos I'll try to make it better. Your an English major that's really cool. I'm actually a human physiology major but I felt to make the vid I needed to understand a little bit of literature.
Perrito is basically Donkey, but just better. He's meant to be largely oblivious, but being a therapy dog with a positive attitude he had moments of stronger insight. He was there to stick with the main character against their will and annoy them, but didn't extend that to the point of being defined by being annoying, he wasn't annoying to ALL characters, just the one he chose to stick to. He was more relevant to the plot, and character developments.
In addition to the stuff mentioned: THE VOICE ACTING WASN'T MEANT TO MAKE HIM SOUND "UNIQUE" aka annoying as hell It's why I liked Olaf, the voice acting was just "here's another character wtih a voice" read a line and you can't instantly scream "oh that's the comic releif" off the voice alone
I'm only at the start of the video and I'm interested so ofc I'll continue watchin but the music in the intro was a bit too loud making it a bit hard to hear your voice over it, just as feedback.
Legit my expectations with Perrito was so low because I thought he was just gonna be that annoying comic relief side character who follows the main character around. And not just that, I think recent animated films also downgraded those side characters to be sort of stupid. (Haha the gullible stupid side character). Perrito absolutely surprised me. I was prepared to merely tolerate his presence, but from his first appearance to the last, I adored him.
It also helps that Perrito is a dog, which are much more known for being goofy and loveable. If Perrito was a cat, his characteristics may have come off as fake.
@@zest2.5 it's because all the dumb twist villains I watched over the years that I was expecting to be let down by another one. Good thing that didn't happen.
To me, Perrito wasn't a side character. Perrito served as a Mentor to Puss and acts as the cornerstone for the entire movies theme: Appreciate your life. Puss, Goldie, and Jack Horner all struggled to do this despite them having good things going for them. But Perrito, the dog who was stuffed in a sock and tossed into a river to drown, who had to disguise himself as a cat just to get fed, who is constantly ridiculed and belittled and mocked; Perrito doesn't allow any of that to stop him from valuing the life he has.
@zest 2.5 He plays the role of a Mentor character. He is Puss's wakeup call. He is what leads Puss to reflect on himself. Until Puss confides in Perrito, the only thing Puss cares about is getting the wish. Only after confiding in Perrito does Puss notice his priorities are changing.
@@zest2.5 man idk if its the right song, i listened to all of it and couldnt really get how its the same song, i was talking about the part from the start to 0:36
You know, when the first Frozen movie came out, Olaf was a decent comic relief and the writers of that movie knew when to tone down his character and when to use him effectively. However, Frozen 2 ruined his character and he became really obnoxious and insanely annoying. I think Perrito has rewritten the rules of being the perfect comic relief
Respectfully, I dont think you understand Perrito. He's not dumb, he only appears that way to most people. The reason he is oblivious to cruelty and neglect is for the same reason fish are oblivious to water: They've lived with it their whole lives so it doenst really register. I used to be a bit like Perrito when I was a kid. I was often totally oblivious to fuck-off-vibes, cause for me, that was just how people acted. Also, about his head being on fire: No one has ever cared about him, and therefore he doesnt care about himself. You see this in real life, people who are uncared for act self-destructively. Whenever you see someone with piercings or purple hair, just think "neglected child".
Perrito also catalysed Goldi with the line "You won the orphan lottery" - the line hit in the characterisation at the time, and paid off at the end.
Definitely... Goldi also had her own sort of arc.

Perrito definitely had the ability to become the most annoying and hated character, but the way they handle him made him a good and lovable character. He's a happy-go-lucky character that doesn't inject himself into every scene. Emotional and serious scenes are allowed to breathe, and when he's part of it, he knows how to read the room.
While nobody watched Strange World, the few that did have all stated that the dog character "Legend" was easily the most hated character. It's also a happy-go-lucky dog character like Perrito, but can't talk and is more-or-less a dog. The issue what that character is that he hogs every scene. No scene was allowed to have anything resembling emotions or seriousness because the dog injects itself into every scene for some levity (because Disney is considers any form of sincerity or emotions to be "kinda cringe").
Lots of reviewers also stated that they were ready to hate Perrito because they were afraid that he'd be _that_ type of side character, but he wasn't and everyone loves him for it.

Ohh... Tnks for the correction.
@@zest2.5 yeah in Moana they show a map of islands and one kinda looks like a turtle, so they think that's the connection to Strange World
This! I was ready to hate him when he was first introduced in the movie because I was like "oh great, an annoying side character that'll follow the main character for no reason other than introducing new characters and comic relief..." and I really, really, really didn't like him all the way until they reach the dark forest... I think the key is how they know when to take their characters seriously and when not to take them seriously because when Perrito manages to calm Puss during his panic attack, it pays off from when he said that at Mama Luna's house and it wasn't Perrito doing something dumb or failing to calm Puss or making him the butt of a joke, Perrito not only manages to calm Puss down with putting his head over Puss, but then he listens to Puss and makes him feel comfortable talking about his fears and gives him good advice and I think that's when everyone realized that Perrito wasn't a joke, he was a fully realized character and I ended up loving him!
Also - I liked the way that they wrote Puss's softening to Perrito. The gradual use of the diminutive - Perro to Perrito - as an affectionate term.
Yeah, I did wonder, why puss kept on switching terms from Perro to Perrito being that they kind of mean the same thing which is dog.
@@zest2.5 Dog vs puppy. So it'd be like going from addressing a stranger to a friend or loved one.
@@lacyn9082 woahhh... Didn't think of it like that🤔. Definitely explains it.
In the movie Puss would call him Perro (dog) when he needed him to act like "Perro start digging" or "drive Perro" every other time he never used a name for him, only saying you and your when he was around.
After getting rid of the stick sword in place of the Gatito blade, Softpaws teases him that Puss is ready to name him, possible Chekhov's Gun? Anyway the scene would follow with Jack Horner showing up and all the chaos of the baby unicorn horns, and not too long after this is the iconic scene of Puss in the woods having a panic attack and the dog helping him calm down. "Thank you Perrito"
That was the first time not only is Puss opening up to him but was also the moment he gave him his name because it's what a friend would call him.
Also side tangent the joke of the stick sword has more impact if looking at perspective that this dog has only met this cat that morning and had no idea who Puss in Boots was or even heard of the legend, so when this grumpy old cat has you dig up some other cats grave to watch them put on their clothes the dog could've just assumed the cat was out of his mind about not having a sword, but Perrito just nods ok and then goes to find a sword for him. Like he didn't have to do that at all and had no knowledge or reason to, he just did it because he was oblivious and thought Puss was his friend and he just wanted to help a friend out. Considering this same stick sword Kitty would see, it made sense she would give him her gatito blade in place of it which would literally save his life in the end. All of this because a random dog he just met that morning wanted to help his new friend.
@@zest2.5 Specifically, it went from "dog" to "puppy"
Perrito to me is not just a comic relief, but an emotional relief as well. When things are dark and the characters are in distress, having Perrito act as sort of a comfort animal, not to make jokes, but to support the main characters, is very relaxing.
Yhhh... Eases the tension in those scenes. Well said.
It's amusing how Perrito manages to catalyze positive change in every character that needed it.
Perrito convinces Puss of the value of life, helps him face his fears, *and* indirectly repairs the relationship between Puss and Kitty.
He encourages Kitty to trust others by catalyzing Puss' character arc, helping Puss convey his guilt over Santa Coloma, and just directly being a trustworthy companion.
He helps Goldilocks understand that the family she craved was right in front of her the whole time.
Puss, Kitty and Goldilocks agree to tear the map apart because, with the help of Perrito, they learned to value what they had. The titular wish was no longer necessary.
Perrito does all of this while also improving the ties between characters. His writing is simply phenomenal.
Yeah exactly... Nicely said.
exactly this - I couldn't say it any better than that !
It's also fun to note that while the "good guys" (goldilocks and her family, kitty, and puss) moral center, Perrito is *successful* in helping his friends grow as people and turn their selfish wishes into a desire to be with and protect their chosen family; his mirror on the "villain's" side - the Talking Cricket from Pinocchio - _fails_ in trying to inspire goodness in Big Jack Horner, who flicks him aside and continues to pursue *his* selfish wish, only to ultimately punished for it.
Whether or not this is a commentary on their active or passive therapy styles are effective, or if it's about how change and growth can only happen within those who _choose_ it, I'm not sure.
But I enjoy it immensely.
@@ChickenTheThird I liked that Big Jack Horner was bad to the core without any redeeming qualities. Too much simpatetik villains nowadays. And even when Perrito used his big eyes to "soften him" it was distraction not an actual attempt to change his mind.
@@Nemo120 thats the most interesting spelling of "sympathetic" I've seen
I'll say, Perrito is a simple flat arc character who catalyzes change in others. Paddington 2 proves that such characters can even helm their own story when done well, and in this case it's handled brilliantly
Well said, he was done brilliantly. It's good we recognize such integral side characters.
On the topic of flat characters, I watched Forrest Gump a few days ago. Tbh, that's the whole schtick of the movie: the main character, Forrest, is pretty much a flat character, he doesn't change much, but he goes through so many adventures and inspires change in so many other people. Also, he's driven, having his own aspirations which pull him forward, making him an active, though flat character; it's a perfect mix, since he pulls the story forward and brings out change in others as he moves along with his wishes and the WHOLE MOVIE is about HIM.
So yeah, flat characters can drive a whole movie, as long as they are active.
@@leonardocouto3109 yeah Forrest Is pretty basic, but for some reason he stands out and changes the characters around him. I just was pretty annoyed with his whole situation with Jenny, I know Forrest is supposed to be clueless but common😅.
He's a flat character, but he's also a paragon. And paragon's by their nature, are made to be positive influences to those they work with (usually main characters).
@@leonardocouto3109 I just watched Green miles and same with John Coffey. He's implied to be a literal angel though, so it makes sense why he's unrealistically kind.
Since the wolf is Death, the Perrito is Life. They even have the same entrance. I have been trying to point this out for a while. They are exact opposites. He isn't oblivious of anything. He isn't comic relief. While he is in the role that looks like comic relief. Life is about stopping & smelling the posies. This analysis is purely surface level & he is much deeper than just comic relief. You called him a link & that's correct, the link between being alive & living life. Only Life can show you how to laugh & enjoy your moments. Death teaches you to respect Death & Perrito Teaches you how to respect yourself in your life living & appreciate the life you have.
I totally get your life and death analogy.The thing is I'm talking from a character scripting point of view. As much as there are deeper meanings that we might find, you need characters to act a certain way at their core to give them almost a function in a story. That's where I'm coming from.
@@zest2.5 but his function is greater than a side character. As he teaches puss very important life lessons. He is the opposite side of the same coin as death. He is a supporting character, yes. But he isn't a one off character. That character is probably going to play a role as something more later. Like I said, if he is a representation of life then everything he did was with intention. Positive impact intentions. You see him making positive impacts because he is making the right decisions at the right time. So, from a writing stand point of character tropes I was say he falls on wise mentor figure over comic relief, but since he looks like a silly puppy, first thoughts of him is comic relief. But life is just as silly. Enjoying life doesn't make you comic relief. Comic relief is to force tension down. It's the moment. Not the character, in this case. In most cases you would be 100% correct. But in this case it's just a surface level layer to the complex depth of this character. There's a lot of small little hidden clues that are placed right in front of us for us not to see it because of the comic relief. Like how DC's Barry Allen aka The Flash is purposely late to everything to keep everyone from knowing he is The Flash. Life is pretending to be comic relief while acting being the wise old stage. We never get an age on him, we just assumed he was a puppy cause he was small.
@@OblivionOdditiesProjectStudios okay Sergio. Reading this I have a better picture of what you're saying and I understand where you are coming from with Perrito.
@@zest2.5 I want you to know that you're currently the only one with a purrely Perrito video.
@@OblivionOdditiesProjectStudios I'll take that as a compliment Sergio, tnks.
I heard a lot of people say that their first impressions of Perrito based off of the trailers was that of an annoying comic relief character that was only there for the little kids but I was willing to give him a chance and I'm glad I did. Now I wish he was 'my' puppy.
Yh, Thats why it ain't good to judge a character by just a trailer. Take The Super Mario Bros Trailer for example... let's try to give Chris Pratt's Mario a chance before we start tearing into it.
I guess I'm fortunate.
Had no idea about the character before watching the movie.
Didn't plan to watch the movie, so I didn't pay attention to the trailers.
Perrito is also a fantastic foil to both Puss and Softpaws- Puss is full of himself and his identity is rooted in being a legend so when he's on his last life he loses his sense of self, while Perrito is humble, appreciates the beauty in everything around him, and cares about Puss to help Puss realize his identity outside his fearless hero identity. Kitty is guarded and feels she can't trust anyone, while Perrito is immediately trusting and optimistic. and like you said, Perrito bridges the two of them together and helps them both grow
It's kinda like the movie depends on his actions to progress the story. I think that's a lot of power given to a side character and I'm all for it.
I like to think how doglike his traits are as well; unwavering optimism/loyalty and cluelessness. As a dog lover, it instantly makes sense and feels believable!
Exactly, not exaggerated at alll
The irony that it takes befriending a dog for two cats to look beyond themselves. Which, honestly, tracks.
@@AranelEruvyreth No one has pointed that out. Well said.
I'd say he fills the mentor role. He knows the theme well the main character doesn't. Then he gose about teaching the theme to the main character. All be it more by example. "I've only ever had one life, but with you and kitty..."
"What's wrong? Lives flashing before your eyes?"
"No, just one..."
that's a really good take. "Mentor role”, I did not see like that.
I feel what make Perrito likable is that he doesn't break much the mood and be supportive to the characters, second he doesn't create trouble caused by his naive or stupidity (actually by standard of his character trope I would say he doesn't have any "stupidity" that these characters have).
The second reason is very important... For a top side character.
Exactly, they didn't insert him in all scenes, and when he was present, he was supposed to be there, and not making trouble or being q nuisance, they did a good job with Perrito.
Perrito is also the opposite of multiple other characters, because he appreciates what he has in life thoroughly, unlike both Jack and Puss, his embrace of everything in life is exactly what The Wolf wants people to have, especially cats.
Perrito trusts other people, unlike Kitty, and sees the awesome family that Goldy has almost at a glance.
Perrito also offers much needed perspective as he deals with the other characters.
He really is the glue that holds the movie together.
Yeah, he is kinda like the only character that contrast everyone around him.
2:16 which too be fair, Perrito doesnt seem to have every light on in his head, but the characters make note of this in universe so its not like it goes ignored. And given his backstory that somewhat explains it, as he chooses to focus on the good avoiding any negative thought, possibly as a coping mechanism for his traumatic past.
its nice to see perrito getting the love he deserves
Yeah he definitely, deserves it more so because the villains in the movie stands out a lot.
@@zest2.5 yeah not enough ppl talk about him, the villians take up all the attention
@@shieldgenerator7 yeah, especially Death
I love the side characters who aren't just there for being mascots and focus for the child audience only. Perrito is build different and refreshing
Yhh... The writing was spot on for Perrito and even Softpaws too.
I remember my mom initially commenting on how Perrito sounded like a typical annoying character at the start, but by the end, she was rooting for him to make the wish, eheh.
And Perrito did not need the wish at the end. He is so nice.
Well, as Perrito says in the beginning, he doesn't need the wish because he has everything he could ever want already. He's perfectly happy as is
@@quarkonium3795 It's those kind of things that make him so unique.
@@quarkonium3795 it's even more fascinating if you think about how the narrative seemed to hint that he will get the last wish as a suprise
I also loved how Perrito embodies the theme of the story of appreciating what is right in front of you, helping everyone recognize that they don't need a wish to be fulfilled or happy. The only other side characters I can think of who were this influential to the story and still super likable was Donkey in the original Shrek movie, and that's TOP NOTCH in my book 😁
Yeah but I remember, someone saying donkey was annoying. Donkey is hugely influential in both Shrek movies. The first mainly.
Finally. After seeing Death videos everywhere in my reccomendations, I finally saw this Perrito video. It makes me happy.
Don't get me wrong. I love Death, but Perrito is actually my favorite character. If this was done by modern Disney, it's gonna be another annoying talking animal, but thank heavens Dreamworks did it instead.
Wonderful video!
Me too.. Perrito Is my favorite character, Thanks also for the complement.
@@zest2.5
You're welcome. Keep it up, man.
and despite a sad backstory he genuinely seems to be a great layered comic relief
I know right, we do act like we don't want side characters to add comic relief cause it gets annoying but it all depends on how the character is being applied.
I swore they where calling him burrito the whole time and I was loving it.
At first I heard burrito but later on I got to hear the "p" and searched on the meaning which meant dog.
In many ways, I believe Perrito's role in the "panic attack" scene is what completes his likeability. He might be oblivious, but he's not ignorant of other people's genuine need of help. When he finds Puss collapsed from fear in the woods, he STOPS being the comedy relief. He knows his friend is in trouble and makes a serious commitment to helping him.
Perrito's aspiration to be a therapy dog wasn't some casual throw-away gag - it was a true intention. When the time came to be so, he fulfilled that role excellently. He rests his head on Puss to help ground him and calm down, he stays there quietly as Puss pets him in appreciation. And when Puss is calm, they have a sincere discussion of what's wrong and how to solve it. It's done 100% serious - no jokes, no ruining the tone and atmosphere; the movie slows down at this moment and waits until Puss and Perrito are ready to move along.
And I say that's one of the reasons Perrito is seen by so many as a fantastic side character. He's not just there to lighten the mood, he's there to help people through heavy burdens as well. He's a genuine friend, and his actions explicitly make his friends, and even foes such as the Goldilocks family, become better people.
Could not have said it any better... He plays a mentorship role, a catalyzing role and a slight comic relief role. It's just too good.
I found him to be just simple as can be. Takes things as they are and enjoys every moment along the way. I'm glad that he wasn't the "bumming idiot that turned out to be the wizard," trope, but just enduring sweet.
"bumming idiot that turned out to be the wizard" which movie that from🤔?
@@zest2.5 usually high fantasy or rpg games. where the person is lackluster and weights the party/hero down, but when they hit the end boss or level 100, they show who they really were or what they can become. None them really stand out (because I don't think they were rememberable) or just not worth the time as a player.
I was worried Perrito was going to be annoying or hog the screen, but instead he won everyone's heart.
Perrito knowing cuss words made me laugh, but sad because his former owner probably said them around him.
That's a wonderful way to look at the cuss words Perrito says. The character is straight up Unique
True. He probably has no idea what they mean. He thinks it's a joke or a game.
I think another way it is shown but not outright with him is his version of the Dark Forest. Most people see it as the easiest and best. But it is only this way because of how Perrito sees the world. The flowers original rhyme is about the Black Death. The river they float down is the one he was drown in. The last is called the “easy way out” which is another way suicide is referred too. But Perrito being Perrito and the way his heart works none of them manifest in a horrible way.
Nicely said... The forest depicted their hearts. It's odd how Perrito has the most traumatizing past and still be so pure.
I just liked how he's primarily not symmetrical. Most of the other characters have one or two things which throw off the balance of their design, but Perrito is just all over the place. One ear is always floppy, one tooth is always sticking out, one half of his head has more gray than the other, etc.
Nice point... Perrito not being symmetrical could represent his whole approach to life. He takes things for what they are and makes the best of every moment.
Everyone was just a W in this, I’m not gonna lie, the new characters like goldi & her fam, perrito, and jack horner, and death are basic in concept with what they bring to the table, for example, jack is just straight evil, no real sad motive drives him, he just wants power, that’s all, but somehow they did it soooo fucking well. And bro don’t get me started on perritos backstory, my jaw dropped when he said he was dropped in the river in a sock and rocks. And then he said he’s wearing it, I fucking lost it 😂😂😂 I was straight flabbergasted
Yeah me too.. the case of Jack Horner shows that even though a character is one note you can play into their strengths really well, instead of making them cliche.
@@zest2.5 exactly, one note in concept, but yet, it was very well done.
One of my favorite things is that they didn't do the ally betrayal trope with Perrito. It's become so common for animated movies to make the protagonist betray the comedic relief character who's very nice but maybe a bit clingy and make it into an "emotional moment" and have them reconcile later on in the story after a "sad period" (even though it just makes me see the main character as a mean person) that I was totally expecting this film to do the same with Perrito, but they totally subverted the trope and made Puss actually like Perrito more and more because he proved himself to be a kind and supportive friend who could help Puss through tough times. We need more messages like this in kid's films
Very true...
Yes!
They did in a deleted scene and then realised it ruins the character devlopment of Puss.
They definitely knew when to use him and when to not, like the panic attack scene
Close to being overbearing but not annoying. Good writing
Dude, I’m so glad they didn’t ruin that scene with comedy. It was really well done.
@@PapiTheMenace SAMEEEE I loved that scene so much
@@Thenewboidahlia Velma could never
@@Chaos_Fantasmic oh god I can’t even start with Velma that was fucking terrible 😭
Great video! Enjoyed watching both, the film and your analysis. Perrito was annoying at first for me, but then transformed to enlighten the whole movie, giving actual advice for life. Plus, he plays the biggest role in the most emotional scene: the panic attack.
Yhh, they used him perfectly.
This was so well explained and I'm glad you put to words why hes such a fun side character and doesn't get annoying. I'm excited to see more of your content!
Ohh wow.. thanks so much.
Before I watched the movie and I saw Perrito in the trailers I was so ready to just hate him and dread every second of his screentime thinking that they were gonna make him an overly annoying side character, but I'm really happy that they didn't! They actually let Perrito be his own character without him having to be just the comic relief! It was so easy for him to become a character no one wanted, but they way they wrote and characterized him made him easily one of my favorite characters! I can't wait to see him in the next film! He's what a lot of side characters should strive to be!
1. Supportive
2. Able to read the room and know when comedy isn't needed
3. Empathetic towards the struggles of the characters they interact with
4. Able to have scenes of their own that don't require a main character to push the story or their character development
5. Being able to lighten the mood in tense moments without taking away the importance of the tense moment.
6. Being able to push the story forward or serve as a catalyst for a main character or other side character's growth or development throughout the story.
7. Not take too much attention away from the main characters but still be able to garner enough attention to where they aren't forgettable
Well said, all reasons you outlined were spot on. Number 7, I feel is very important for a good side character.
The panic attack scene is excellent because they gave it time to breathe, to just be and didn't cut it with an unnecessary joke or something, Puss even thanks Perrito for being there, and Perrito did his best as service dog, no words, just being there, it was perfect.
Yeah, knowing when to make him serious, That's how to use such a character.
I remember a scene where Russell acts on his own: He takes the leaf blower and goes to rescue Carl and Kevin from the bad guy.
Huh... Then i was wrong there. Tnks for pointing it out
Comic reliefs are often seen to be stupid n oblivious but in Perrito's case, he's not oblivious. He's fully aware of what goes on around him but chooses to be optimistic n light hearted about it as a coping mechanism.
Yeah, that is another way to look at it. I think that might be a lot more correct than my own analysis. He just approaches things from a positive light, that's what makes him appear oblivious.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how he is a foil to puss. How puss is afraid of death and is pessimistic. And perrito is not afraid of death and is optimistic
True... Perrito enjoys each moment of life.
Hallo, Thanks for watching.
I have a theory that Perrito was actually Jack Horner’s pet dog, and he abused him along with the other dogs, that he just threw him away because Jack’s dead inside, so of course he wouldn’t find Perrito adorable.
😅.. that certainly can be explored, Perrito past will make so much sense If Jack Horner was his owner.
that's a great theory!
@@zest2.5 wouldn't he recognise him?
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 Yhh but then Jack does not really care about anyone, remember he would have a litter of puppies. So if he tried to get rid of one, he probably won't remember. Just playing into the theory though.
@@zest2.5 I mean Perrito should remember
never, and I underline it, NEVER a side character made me genuinely cry like Perrito did -when he revealed his backstory and when he did the therapy dog thing. He's an angel, the purest of soul and perfectly balanced in the story.
Another side character I really loved was Mushu, worthy coprotagonist in Mulan.
Jar Jar will forever remain the verbatim example of everything wrong in a side character
"God loves you and I love you too" now that was heartwarming.❤
What make Peritto great to me is the studio maintain his character as therapy dog.
Exactly, they could have easily made it an insignificant passing statement, like it won't mean anything, but the built on it.
I thought Perrito was going to be annoying, I wasn't a fan of Donkey for example. But I was soo wrong.
Not a fan of donkey huh, personai I'm a huge fan though the character made me laugh as a kid but I get what you mean.
Donkey was annoying and he knew it but didnt care. Perrito at least respects Puss' space (at least sometimes)
@@shieldgenerator7 Someone else who doesn't like Donkey? I'm not the only one?
Perrito reminded me a lot of Sox from Lightyear, where based on the advertising I thought he was gonna be really annoying but then when I actually went and saw the movie was like “Oh my god, this guy is amazing”
Come to think of it, he does resemble Sox in a way😅. Though Sox's a cat
@@zest2.5 the cat is named Sox and Perrito is wearing a sock
I like to think he always sees things best case scenario and will assume by default good intentions
Very true... if we want to read more into it, that could also be as a result of his past trauma.
Perrito is the survivor of an abusive childhood, who came out of that abusive childhood as one of the nicest and most caring people you will ever meet.
I'm not going to lie, Perrito as a character massively threw me for a loop. I was not expecting his backstory to be as sad as it was, and I was ABSOLUTELY not expecting the bleepfest that was him out-ragging the bears.
I guess I just...wasn't expecting a well written character.
the bleeps were a huge shock..
when watching the ads, I thought I was going to hate him. He is my second favorite character.
So I reckon, death is your favorite
They also needed Perrito to hold the map in order to navigate the dark forest safely. He was the only one of the three for whom the map allowed safe passage. So, Perrito became essential to the plot and fulfilling the two main characters' goals rather than Perrito being a useless side character
Finaly a video on Perrito
Thanks....
When seeing the trailers I thought Perrito was going to be a character I found annoying by the end of the film. I was very VERY pleasantly surprised when that wasn't the case, in fact, it was quite the opposite. He's my all-time favorite character to come out of this franchise. They handled him so well and knew when to reel him in if he was becoming too much, and knew when to let him have his quiet tender moments. Absolutely phenomenal writing!!!
The timed his application perfectly like you said
"olaf straight up dumb" hey he was literally made the night before he's literally a newborn give him a break, Olaf's a baby
🤣🤣... Okay, I get you.
He's actually really smart for a baby!
Woww the way the background music rise
Is amazing
It's still me ZAHAD
Ya number one fan 😄
Thanks so muchhh...
A very nice review! Thank you for focusing on Perrito! I loved his character, and I agree that he was integral to the development of the other characters. Ya...that panic attack scene was beautifully done. They could have hammed it up or made it more obvious, but they went subtle, which I appreciated. I think they did that a lot throughout the movie.
A truly unique character...
Oh i love him so much
Damn solid video bro, hope you get more viewers ✌️
Thanks, I hope so too. It's just to keep pushing out good videos and hope for the best.
Perrito deserves his own short at least his journey before he met puss. Like a lion king 1 1/2 where he's there in all of the shrek movies affecting them but not interacting with the main characters kind of short
I get but then that might lead to them diluting the character.
@zest 2.5 I get that but imagine this. He's one of Farquaad's pups and the one who let the fairytale creatures escape in his naive nature Farquaad gets enraged and orders his men to get rid of him but everytime they do Perrito finds his way back hence why he's thrown in a river like he said he was.
@@ChanoCYBER9Avila Okay, you mean building on his past, that could actually work, you know.
@zest 2.5 yes but I think that's the charm of the character that u barely know about him like Donkey
Perrito is also kind of accurate. Many mexicans who experience trauma, a near death event or even straight of cruelty just laugh it off later when narrating it. That's why we have a dead's day, where the dead come back alive and party.
Ohh, That could explain the "funny story" phrase.
Dreamworks knows how to write side characters since the whole last wish movie wouldn't be possible if Puss wasn't a popular side character himself
Yeah, they thrive in building likeable characters. Like everyone on the Shrek franchise and also on the how to train your dragon franchise too.
Oh I went into ready to hate it and enjoyed completely…I’m actually genuinely impressed that they did that
Perfect film and an excellent example of what is Cinema
Brilliant animated movie... Hope there will be a sequel
Puss himself was the ideal side character for Shrek 2. That kinda makes this movie full circle.
I think so too... But there is still an argument to be made for Donkey.
Amazing video about an amazing movie! I really enjoy your content and look forward to watching anything new you make! God bless!
Perrito is the goat!
Edit: my comment below only stands for that small intro section :) Fantastic work here, it is so cool that you learned more about literature only to see why Perrito fit or didn't fit into common writing tropes or pitfalls. As an English major/writer, respect!
Original comment:
I am about 30 seconds into your video, and I'm very excited to hear your points, but I wanted to gently say that I am having a hard time hearing your voice against the techno music. I like the music and its inclusion! But the English subtitles, so far, are automatically generated, so I am having a bit of a hard time following. But still! Gracias por el video hasta ahora 💖
Ohh... Thanks. I did not get the sound right while editing. My later videos I'll try to make it better. Your an English major that's really cool. I'm actually a human physiology major but I felt to make the vid I needed to understand a little bit of literature.
Perrito is basically Donkey, but just better.
He's meant to be largely oblivious, but being a therapy dog with a positive attitude he had moments of stronger insight.
He was there to stick with the main character against their will and annoy them, but didn't extend that to the point of being defined by being annoying, he wasn't annoying to ALL characters, just the one he chose to stick to.
He was more relevant to the plot, and character developments.
I agree, He does affect the plot more than donkey.
you know what his character reminds me of? Uncle Iroh.
Damn intro song fire

Thanks 🤗.
@@zest2.5 you are welcome bro
A big plus is that he didn't sing/break into song
GREAT VIDEO 👍 SIDE CHARACTER ❤
Perrito is very kind and strongly autistic. It's that simple.
Perrito feels like an annoying side character that isn’t annoying.
That oddly makes sense.
UA-cam essayists eatin’
In addition to the stuff mentioned: THE VOICE ACTING WASN'T MEANT TO MAKE HIM SOUND "UNIQUE" aka annoying as hell
It's why I liked Olaf, the voice acting was just "here's another character wtih a voice" read a line and you can't instantly scream "oh that's the comic releif" off the voice alone
I get what you mean with Olaf.😅
I'm only at the start of the video and I'm interested so ofc I'll continue watchin but the music in the intro was a bit too loud making it a bit hard to hear your voice over it, just as feedback.
Other than Jack Horner, Perrito stole the show for me
Finally, some Jack Horner credit. Everyone seems to love Death more
Legit my expectations with Perrito was so low because I thought he was just gonna be that annoying comic relief side character who follows the main character around. And not just that, I think recent animated films also downgraded those side characters to be sort of stupid. (Haha the gullible stupid side character).
Perrito absolutely surprised me. I was prepared to merely tolerate his presence, but from his first appearance to the last, I adored him.
A unique side character, honestly
It also helps that Perrito is a dog, which are much more known for being goofy and loveable. If Perrito was a cat, his characteristics may have come off as fake.
That could be debated though to me Sox from lightyear kind of acts like Perrito in a sense, and he's a robotic cat🤷🏾♂️.
Is it bad I thought he was gonna be a twist villain? I'm glad he wasn't.
Really, I didn't see him becoming one though
@@zest2.5 it's because all the dumb twist villains I watched over the years that I was expecting to be let down by another one.
Good thing that didn't happen.
To me, Perrito wasn't a side character. Perrito served as a Mentor to Puss and acts as the cornerstone for the entire movies theme: Appreciate your life.
Puss, Goldie, and Jack Horner all struggled to do this despite them having good things going for them.
But Perrito, the dog who was stuffed in a sock and tossed into a river to drown, who had to disguise himself as a cat just to get fed, who is constantly ridiculed and belittled and mocked; Perrito doesn't allow any of that to stop him from valuing the life he has.
I get you, but if he is not A side character what is he then.
@zest 2.5 He plays the role of a Mentor character. He is Puss's wakeup call. He is what leads Puss to reflect on himself. Until Puss confides in Perrito, the only thing Puss cares about is getting the wish. Only after confiding in Perrito does Puss notice his priorities are changing.
The audio mixing was a bit off at the beginning, it was hard to hear your voice.
Ohhhh, tnks for telling me. I'll make sure to iron out those kinks in later videos.
Ohhhh, tnks for telling me. I'll make sure to iron out those kinks in later videos.
Perrito IS comedy relief but he wants to be a therapy dog. He's going to help people develop their characters simply because of his personal ambition.
Very true, they did not take the whole therapy dog thing as a joke. They built on it, I liked that.
what's the music in the intro section?
Public library commute - mile high
@@zest2.5 man idk if its the right song, i listened to all of it and couldnt really get how its the same song, i was talking about the part from the start to 0:36
Oh, also if this was real life, I would like a word with Perrito's previous owner, piece of s...
🤣🤣🤣
You know, when the first Frozen movie came out, Olaf was a decent comic relief and the writers of that movie knew when to tone down his character and when to use him effectively. However, Frozen 2 ruined his character and he became really obnoxious and insanely annoying.
I think Perrito has rewritten the rules of being the perfect comic relief
Totally agree with you on Olaf... Which is why I don't want to see part 3 of puss in boots, cause sequels tend to wash out side characters.
perrito is not a side character, he is the movie
Exactly...😅
Perrito >>>Dori>>>>>Olaf
I'm not sure I can rank them since they are all unique, but for laugh's Olaf is first 😅.
@@zest2.5 I’d argue that Olaf didn’t serve as much use to the plot as Dori did in their respective films.
True, but I mean in terms of like making the audience laugh. If it's story progression, it's Perrito then Dori.
Respectfully, I dont think you understand Perrito.
He's not dumb, he only appears that way to most people. The reason he is oblivious to cruelty and neglect is for the same reason fish are oblivious to water: They've lived with it their whole lives so it doenst really register.
I used to be a bit like Perrito when I was a kid. I was often totally oblivious to fuck-off-vibes, cause for me, that was just how people acted.
Also, about his head being on fire:
No one has ever cared about him, and therefore he doesnt care about himself.
You see this in real life, people who are uncared for act self-destructively. Whenever you see someone with piercings or purple hair, just think "neglected child".
Do not watch this with subtitles if u can help it 😂
It's better than idiolizing the wolf ...tired of the furries idiolizing wolf character...such they're hot i get it.
The term "Idolizing" is a bit too much, you know😅, but yh, Perrito is as good a character as Death.
Not even close. He's just a dumb overly cute dog to make kids want to see this. Its the same as a minion.
Okay...
✈️
Also not woke at all
Definitely, in some scenes he isn't.
