I'm sure you have a line up of movies your planning to dom can you add Twister to that list and the Mummy with Brendan Fraser 💗 those are my favorite movies... Do that saw something about me lol . Love your channel so glad I found it
When I started having panic attacks, we adopted a very cuddly cat. Best helper ever. She even learned to notice stress in me, so when I'm frantic, she will come up to me and start meowing untill I sit down and let her lie on me. She is amazing. Not trained or anything, just a great cat.
I have the same thing! My cat isn't trained, but when I'm depressed or panicked, he will either meow at me to get me to move (depression) or meow loudly enough to alert someone else (panic). Cats are such joys.
Dude when I had anxiety attacks during middle school due to some bullying, nothing made me feel better than my cats. I don't know how they knew when I was stressed but man they felt it for sure, and nothing made me feel better than cuddling with them. What was crazy was that neither of them normally liked being touched or petted but if I was getting an anxiety attack they would let me hug them n stuff like that. Even to this day if somebody's yelling or upset they'll meow and get between people until it stops. Amazing animals, even if they bite my ankles when they're hungry lol.
Similar! Double whammy for us, my husband with anxiety & me with chronic depression. But, we have the sweetest little boy cat that’ll come & cuddle up right under the chin. Don’t take these wonderful loving creatures for granted ❤.
Exactly! I’ve had panic attacks before and it felt so real watching Puss going through that too. I remember watching this and my boyfriend immediately going for my hand, asking if I was gonna be okay watching this. I got a little nervous with hearing the heartbeat and he reminded me to do my breathing techniques to help me come out of it.
Death is just so great, one of if not the best DreamWorks antagonist ever. I like how, at the start, Puss was bragging about having "never been touched by a blade." So the moment Death was actually able to cut him, Puss became a scared, anxious mess. It's the moment he realized he's not invincible after all.
I still say Rameses is still the best Dreamworks antagonist as I’d argue that movie is their best film they’ve ever done, but I have to say…I didn’t expect to enjoy the heck out of One Last Wish as much as I did! I caught the Wolf being Death pretty quickly because of he were a bounty hunter he would have tried harder to catch Puss…plus the coins in his eyes at the one point was a dead (pun intended) giveaway, but that whistle…THAT WHISTLE still chills me!
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 you could also say that Death is the best antagonist, and Ramses is the best villain. Because Death is an antagonist, his only real motivation for going after Puss is to teach him to learn to value his life, and the moment that Puss finally does so at the end, he lets him go. Where as Ramses, is more of a sympathetic villain where you understand his motivations, but he never really comes around. And he's definitely more of an obstacle that the main character has to overcome, where as Death is just a foil for Puss character development. Jack Horner would be more of a villain in this movie, because of the fact that he is just straight-up an awful person.
I tear up every time I see the panic attack scene. Not only it being so accurate, but the idea of just having someone there who just waits with you, and reassures you, when everything feels out of your control.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who would just hold me tight and say "shhh, it's ok" until I calmed down, no matter how long it took. She really helped me until I was able to calm myself down without help from others. I miss her.

If anyone wasn't aware, at 26:40, the wolf is saying "Why did I play with my food?" This was never a test to help Puss grow into something more than he was, he REALLY wanted to kill this cat.
No doubt, he did. His motive wasn’t to teach Puss a lesson. It was to take that last life, personally. But, when he saw that Puss HAD changed, his desire to take that last life passed. A combination of frustration and resignation. Death pauses to confirm that Puss knows this is a temporary reprieve, which Puss acknowledges with humility.
Fear keeps us safe, shame keeps us humble, guilt keeps us honest, loneliness keeps us together, even anxiety let's us know when something is wrong. For me, understanding why we even have these emotions helps me manage myself better.
Devil's Advocate moment: Fear makes us irrational, shame adjusts our moral compass at the time, guilt makes us grovel when wrong, loneliness makes us vulnerable, and anxiety waits in the background for sudden problems that verify its existence. /end devil advocacy? "For me, understanding why we even have these emotions helps me manage myself better." I want to end this on a positive but I've had a fuck of a day so I'll be back in edits. Look forward to it. *two finger eye to eye point*
If it comes up I always like to take a page from a GoT question when trying to identify which subordinate leader to take with them in the field versus leave behind to guard a castle: "Is it better to be fearless or brave?" They are similar but one has a downside.
@@christinaify Well, the fact that all these emotions have a purpose doesn't stop our stupid human brains from over complicating things, and misapplying them all over the place.
25:43 Fun fact: When Puss is using his gatito blade alongside his rapier, he's fighting with the same style as the Spanish tercios (17th century soldiers and mercenaries): Espada y Daga (sword and dagger), which was probably one of the most effective dueling styles at the time, and certainly more effective usually than just the rapier. In other words, after letting go of his past rejection of emotions and embracing the support his loved ones give him, he became both a better person and a better duelist.
The second I saw the accurate depiction of Puss having a panic attack in the face of a near death experience and then being calmed down by a therapy dog, I said “Oh, CT has to do this one!”
It’s one of those things that I dislike about how people treat animation especially when targeted towards children because some people feel like it needs to be dumbed down and neutered to the point of almost being a useless parody for children to be able to understand it NO children are nature’s idiots but they are not stupid they have to learn and most are willing to if you format it in a way they like The early 2000’s teen titans had a episode where they had a racial plot everyone but starfire(an alien from another planet) was being treated fairly the episode even threw in a slur for her people that her friends mistakenly started using as a term of endearment before learning that it translated to nothing aka worthless Racism can be a heavy subject to approach but the episode is very good and that’s what I mean by how people toss animation to their children like they don’t respect their audience enough to actually use the concept it has to be so watered down that it’s nearly nonexistent
@@CrazyGamebino Children pretty much have high level mental faculties but next to no experience. Makes them very prone to bounce between extremes on the intelligence scale, but they're definitely capable of understanding anything you throw at them if you give them the chance and have a bit of patience to fill in their knowledge gaps.
Fun fact! Death is dual wielding khopeshes which are Egyptian sickle swords. They were originally used to harvest grain before being turned into a sword. This is such a fantastic choice because it has the same symbolism of a scythe without completely giving away the twist (unless you're a freak who had an African sword phase in high school)
Hi, former EMT here. The weighted blanket actually helps from a strictly anatomical perspective, too. :) The added weight pushing down on your chest triggers the autonomous nervous system and your body basically gets put into sleep mode. Your heart and breathing calm down and stressful thoughts are easier to let go of. We've frequently used weighted blankets to help disaster witnesses on scene out of panic attacks. Exclusively positive experiences with this on my end.
One or two or three or all four of our kitties would come sit on me in bed at night. They obviously enjoy the extra softness and warmth, and until their weight numbs my arms / legs, it can be quite nice for me too. I do wake up with sore neck and back sometimes because someone takes up the whole pillow at night, but generally it is pleasant to have a soft and warm kitty curled up asleep on top of you :)

The one character I really love in this movie is Perrito. His backstory is so horrible and sad, yet he still has so much optimism, appreciates all the good things in life, and just wants to help people. He's a perfect foil to Puss and Kitty who helps them both overcome their problems. We could all learn a thing or two from Perrito.
It's funny how he starts the movie almost seeming like he's going to be the annoying mascot sidekick, but then he instead turns into the heart of the movie with his sunny optimism and surprisingly high emotional intelligence. And he manages to be darkly hilarious with the foul mouth he picked up through his backstory.
Death is genuinely scary for kids and adults in a kids movie. He isn’t dramatically over exaggerated nor comically underplayed. Depicting Death as a wolf is also much scarier to a cat than making him another dog that Puss could easily out smart and maneuver.
I always associated the wolf design with the Big Bad Wolf, which is pretty much the role he plays in this movie. Not an enemy to be defeated, the only way to survive is to learn the lesson the story is trying to teach
When I was a kid, I was scared of Death. The thought of my body being rigid, not feeling anything, no breathing and being still for the rest of time. But over time, I got over it after losing a few close relatives over the years, I know we can’t escape Death nor we can cheat it. We just have to learn to accept and live our lives, even if the shadow of Death is still out there.
Ya'll are giving me a much deeper respect and appreciation for Perrito's character. We always see, in movies, people wanting MORE. The Disney Princesses all have their iconic "I want" songs and usually the common factor that they want is MORE. People want more money, more time, more more more. It is actually really nice to see a character who DOESN'T want more...who is completely comfortable and happy with his life, exactly the way it is, even having been abandoned, multiple times, by his family and having just a sweater and 2 best friends. It makes him a very sweet and endearing character.
That’s fair! But the Disney characters you’re referring to didn’t want more for the mere sake of wanting more, it was literally because they were the black sheep of wherever they were. They felt so out of place that it’s very normal to want out of where you are in that scenario. They weren’t materialistic, they just knew there was more to life than being stuck being different then everyone else around them. And the beauty of those same characters are that they overall found their happiness in an unexpected place and that’s great too! Did Belle go searching for her soulmate? No she wanted a more adventurous life, but she found an adventure close to home and she found equal happiness there :) But yes, we can all learn for Perrito too! Because what everyone else wants the wishing star for are selfish reasons, but Perrito is clearly supposed to be the character of pure intention. Think Harry searching for the sorcerers’ stone. Only the one with pure intentions is supposed to get it. Nothing wrong with striving for something else in life )Jono even said something to this effect in a recent video…don’t remember which) because it keeps us from being static but it’s when it becomes selfish and harmful to ourselves and others that it becomes a problem.
Who cares. No big deal. I want more. There must be more than this provincial life. I just can't wait to be king. Am I just a poor boy, nosiree. A perfect world begins and ends with me. Wow, you were *not* kidding.
@@TheSchaef47 To be fair though, this is comparing main characters in Disney films to a side character. Don't get me wrong, Perrito is a great character, but there's a reason the film is about Puss, not him, because a character who is already happy and content from the start means there's no arc to go through. Plus, while Disney is noted for all their "I want" songs they tend to use them to contrast that with what a character needs. Hercules sings about wanting to find where he belongs and at the start of the movie he believes that place is on Mount Olympus, but at the end of the movie when he actually gets there he realizes that where he belongs is back on earth. Aladdin wants to live in the palace, but at the end of the film when given the chance to use his third wish to be a prince he instead wishes for the genie to be free. Simba wants to become a king because he thinks that means he could do whatever he wants ("free to run around all day, free to do it all my way") but instead he learns that it is about accepting responsibility. This is an arc Puss goes through where he searches for the star in order to get more lives but ends up accepting his own mortality.
@@lagrandioso1456 Esmeralda is not the main character in Hunchback of Notre Dame. Quasimodo is: Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives Through the roofs and gables I can see them Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives Heedless of the gift it is to be them If I was in their skin I'd treasure ev'ry instant
One detail I will always love is that the dark forest had challenges built to make people appreciate life and not use the wish, just look in the movie and you’ll see the connections Like how Kitty had “The Eternal Abyss Of Loneliness” because she didn’t trust anybody or how Goldi had “Nostalgia Woods” or whatever because she wanted a family when she had one all along
Yesss and the way how even when they didn’t win and get that wish, they still “won”. They walked along that thorny path, they did some bad and some recklessness here and there, but they carried through. By the end, they didn’t need the wishing star/scroll. They needed that realisation. The realisation that once they worked hard enough to fix themselves, to get help and support from others, to step back and stop just for a moment, They had what it takes to make their wish into reality. That wish was a goal and they have made it.
@@Evelyn_Rose1151That’s just my opinion, but it looks more like showing who he used to be. You know how to go into your old messages and such and think «God than I thought when I wrote it.» He shouldn’t forget who he was, and Puss had to see the difference in points of view. At that moment, he finally realized that «The Hero who always works alone» is not for him, he was tired of it and wants light happiness, not glory from strangers and no one there to sincerely support him. He changed on his way to the Star and he realized it. He was led by fear, but it was also accepted at the end. (I apologize for my possible grammar mistakes, etc., Eng not even my second language)
Actually, Perito's map exactly the reverse and an attempt to make him realise of how grim the worlf is. Pocket full of posies is a reference to the black plague, the river of relaxation an allusion to depression, and the "quick and easy solutions" is a euphemism for suicide. It's just all hidden behind is positive attitude, to the point that no character actually picks up on it, even while reading the map.
@@Evelyn_Rose1151 My thought is that Death wasn't supposed to be there. Him walking through the barrier that obliterates people shows he's beyond the Star's influence. The Cave of Lost Souls was supposed to make Puss realize how he wasted his past lives, but Death's intrusion messed it up and pushed him to want them back.
20:30 this line hit me like a ton of bricks: “we all have immaturity and insecurity to work through, and if we wait until we’ve worked through all of it to have a relationship, the human race will die.” I’ve been so scared of entering a romantic relationship because the perfectionist inside me keeps saying I need to “fix” my flaws on my own first. But I am learning to be vulnerable and to let others see the parts of me that I’d normally want to keep hidden. Thanks for sharing that very important truth.
I've spent a decade feeling that perfectionist way towards seeking romantic relationships. Avoiding them. It's easy to have happen since life always throws us new curveballs as soon as we start to feel some sense of peace again after the past ones. For the very first time in my life, though, I fell in love, a little over a month ago. It didn't happen thru me looking for it. Instead, it happened because I was open to seeing what would happen with the person who approached me. I felt the compatibility during casual conversation upon meeting them. I would have been fine with us just being friends. But when I was asked out on a date I chose to say "yes." Equally importantly, from the very start with them every time I was asked about something about myself I chose to do the scary thing of giving them the straight, honest answer instead of presenting an idealized image. I have shown flaws that I haven't been brave enough to ever show anyone else. I think the reason the relationship has been working is because the other person has been doing the same. Someone once told me that the right person wouldn't notice the things that I dislike about myself, because instead they would be too taken by my beauty to notice. I don't think that's it at all. Instead, I think it's that the imperfections are part of what make a person who they are and therefore seeing them allows us to love the full, beautifully imperfect package. Mutual patience and mutual acceptance. It is a precious gift to know what each other wishes to overcome and to be there during the journey. I hope my relationship lasts (a month is barely any time at all in the grand scheme of life!!), and I hope you will get to experience the same thing sometime soon. I hope every perfectionist out there reading this gets to! I don't think I have any tangible advice about how to find it, since all I did was to be open to seeing what happened (open to going on a date when someone else approached me and then terrifyingly honest about myself), but I hope you will get to experience it! 💝
When you find the right person your insecurities that pop up wont scare them away. Then you get a loving environment to continue to work on them without fear of rejection or abandonment. It is truly a beautiful experience
im so glad someone else pointed this out. i've been in that exact same mindset for years now and hearing jono say this really put everything in a new perspective for me.
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last summer and passed away in October. He said he lived a good life, had a good 81 years, and was ready to go. The only fear he had was making sure my mom, whom is significantly younger than he was, was going to be taken care of. Mom had a very successful career so he was not necessarily scared for her financially, but instead wanted to make sure she was supported emotionally. I told him I'd always take care of her and that seemed to settle him. I miss him every day but knowing he walked into death with little to no fear brings me so much happiness.
I am really sorry you had to deal with that recently. My grandma passed away last year in August, and that was hard for my family and I. Just know you're not alone, and I'm so proud of you and your dad for doing what you do. I'm proud of him for seemingly walking into death fearlessly, and for you promising to take care of your mom. I hope you continue to do that, and that your father's love abides in your family, that you may be able to move forward, continuing to strive to be a better person each day. Good night.
It's been ten years for my dad, it doesn't necessarily get easier, but when you struggle to remember him after this long, it's a bit difficult to have fresh wounds (unless you do grief therapy, I suppose). It's... bizarre.
Something i love about perrito in the panic attack scene, is that he waits to start talking or ask questions, until puss says something first, indicating hes ready to speak now. Like thats one of the greatest indicators that not only is he a character that is consistent and doesn't exist to just be some annoying comedic character to sell toys or whatever. He has a consistent characterization, and narrative purpose in the themes throughout the entire movie. He says he wants to be a therapy dog, and he actually is a damn good one. He doesn't have to go through any arc because hes already at the end of his arc, and his purpose is what the other characters can learn from him. Its SO GOOD!!! to just have an emotionally healthy character, that isnt some super cool grand master mentor, hes just a good guy, that has merit just by being himself!!! ❤❤❤
I was shock of how genuine Perrito is. I really thought that during the panic attack scene, he is gonna go “come rub my belly!”. But nope, he genuinely cares for Puss and tries to comfort him in a very serious manner.
@@avocado3-in-182 Exactly!! It sets him up as an annoying character to not think much of, and completely subverts your expectations by making him the genuine heart of the team!! 😭❤️
The best bit is after seeing this movie. People will be buying Perito plush toys and at some point or another this toy will actually help someone for real.
And it's honestly the BEST way to deal with someone who has panic/anxiety attacks!! At least for me, it's extremely difficult to talk through it, and when someone asks me questions or tries to talk to me when I'm going through it, it can make it worse cause I'm unable to answer which makes me spiral even more
it literally started to make me panic cause I get them a lot and it was really accurate especially the breathing and like how everything gets weird like its hard to hear and stuff justs get blurry and you feel like you're gonna die and it just hit really close to home so when i saw it i started tearing up a lot 😓
the panic attack scene is so damn good. it breaks me down every time i see it because its so damn accurate. I also had used to have a dog who was a great emotional support animal who passed away 2 years ago, so i think of her everytime i see perrito just relax his head on puss's lap. its exactly what my dog used to do for me when i got panic attacks.
Something I like about Perrito as a character is that he reinforces the message ”be happy with what you already have” which is the message in the original Puss in boots story.
Honestly the panic attack scene is by far the best scene imo. I've never experienced one before, but the way Puss' breath quickens and his heart races feels so real. And when Perrito finds him no words need to be said, Perrito sees he's in trouble and lays his head on his chest, "I'm here," and it's so real and so beautiful
yeah panic attacks are no joke and can be triggered more easily and happen more often if they aren't treated quickly enough, it's an overwhelming sense of fear and helplessness that your body responds to. Taking deep breaths has been proven to slow your heart rate and tell your body/brain that you're safe.
I also really like that Perrito is also scared because he doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't know how to help. But he ends up doing the thing that helps Puss, which--in this case--is being there and present and a physically and metaphorically grounding presence.
Something I've really liked about the last fight between Puss and Death is that Puss would have lost if not for the gatito blade Kitty gave him. A dagger he swallowed his pride to even take and use but also a gift from a loved one. That dagger carries a lot of meaning. Also, using a dagger while welding a rapier is an actual swordplay technique. I love all the details in this film.

@@angelemeana2754 I'm a Christian and even I think this comment is stupid and coming way out of left field. Where was there a curse word or sexual joke in these comments? This is coming off as very preachy and kinda like propaganda. Almost like the point of it is to present Christianity in a bad light. Pls do not represent Jesus as if he is foolish and lacks understanding of people. You do him a disservice.
@@felwalkr_94 I looked up the info on his channel. It was made in 2022. About a year ago. Which indicates the possibility that it is either a troll account or a fake account for nefarious purposes.
Perito reminds me of when your normal-meter is so broken that you tell a 'funny childhood story' and everyone has the same looks as Puss and Kitty, and you realize "oh, that wasn't funny it was abuse"
I think its more about how some of us deal with such overwhelming tragedy and loss, especially so early on in our lives. We can spend days crying and lamenting how cold and heartless others can be, but at the end of all that we are exhausted and drained yet still have to think about where / when our next meal will be and where our bed will lay. Time provides distance, so over the course of many years we can look back to realise the actions and thinking of those who did us wrong, were trivial at best and pitiful at worst. We are still alive, regardless of how much of our past was salvaged, so everything we discover in life from then on is a blessing and a gift - for we only have ourselves, our time and our company to offer in exchange to express our gratitude.
The slight widening of Puss’s eyes at the end during the stare down with Death is one of my favorite details. To me, it shows Puss finally recognizing his own mortality, and not with fear like the other times, but rather with regard and awe. A very unique touch to a great film.
hmm, I still think/see it as him being scared... but he has also accepted death. He will fight all he has got to keep on living, and yeah, death is scary and there, but while he is alive?... well, even scared, he will continue living. Personally I dont see the awe part. Still, I appreciate you sharing your perspective in the movie (im not shooting you down, just giving mine in turn!)
@@capuchinosofia4771 I agree. I interpreted more as a, "Okay thank god now I can breathe for a second after all of this/he's finally giving me a break," but still in a sense where he's changed his perspective on the topic and something he's come to accept despite it taking an entire journey to, metaphorically and literally 😊I feel like it'd take that much time, especially as hard as a topic as death to work through. And in a healthy way. 👀 Hell death definitely still scares me, but I'd like to hope when it comes I won't feel like my life amounted to nothing. Yet now that I'm really thinking about it, I want to start reevaluating how I measure that worth. Overall, this movie hit like a ton of bricks. The panic attack scene broke me in tears and when the reveal came that the wolf was ACTUALLY death I was like OH FUCK. It made me start to panic too like shieeettt. Anyways, just thought I'd share my views as well and love hearing what people have to say about this film
Re: the fuzzy sound and blurry vision - the way it has been explained to me was that your blood pressure can get so bad it puts pressure on your eardrums and ocular nerves. This is the single most accurate portrayal of a panic attack I've ever seen, other than his relatively quick recovery (which I get, narratively - though I love the little detail of him taking a dry-mouthed gasp as he steadies himself). I've watched the clip many times over and it still makes me anxious. The animators put so much love and empathy into that scene because it really can feel like you are dying. The last time I had one was so bad I ended up in the hospital, which was embarrassing after 20 years of having them, but with this one I legitimately thought I was having a stroke. I lost control of my limbs, everything was so cold I couldn't feel anything, and I couldn't speak. And it went on for *hours* because I was so scared that I was dying. The physical effects are like dominos when we have really bad panic attacks. Our bodies can do *wild* things to us.
Honestly I've known people who come out of panic attacks surprisingly quickly. Like it passes suddenly instead of gradually and they just go straight to being exhausted. So it's not necessarily unrealistic depending on the person.
This movie blew my mind. The first Puss in Boots is just a film that exists, Last Wish is profound, exciting, hilarious, and full of emotion, and terrific character development.
The original film is okay. The only problem with the first Puss In Boots is that the sequel was too good. Like I seriously have no idea how it managed to be better than all of the Shrek movies including the “good ones”. It makes Shrek 2 look lazy by comparison. And Shrek 2 was the last “good one” though I have a soft spot for the 4th movie and consider it to be a sign of the darker themes we finally got.
@@Jess-737 What about Shrek 2, or Empire Strikes Back, or Toy Story 2, or Spider Man 2? I’m not mad, I just genuinely want your thoughts on those ones.
One moment I love is when Puss uses the little cat blade during the big fight. Even though he is physically alone while battling Death, he relies on his friends (through the use of the blade) in his time of need. In the beginning of the film, he wouldn't have done that. He says himself that Puss works alone. But by the end, he realises that not only its okay to have help from others but that he cant make it out alive unless he accepts that his friends are there to help
It also works cuz not only is that when helps him fight against death, but it shows to death that he’s changed. Death loses that one match cuz he didn’t realize Puss has changed, and when he realizes that Puss is actually is scared of death, but is ready to fight for the life he has, he decides Puss should live.
I was hoping they’d get to this. My favorite part was Kitty telling Puss that she didn’t show either because she couldn’t compete with his one true love, himself. “The Legend”.
I always thought it was a bit of a plot hole though. How does she know that Puss never showed up if she didn't show up either? They both hinted to the fiasco at Santa Coloma beforehand as well so there's no excuse about it.
@@seb3398 I don't think it really is though. I think it's more implied by what she said that she knew he wouldn't. And yet some part of her was hoping to be wrong.
@@seb3398 I like the theory that she did show up, but after overhearing Puss talking to Perrito about how much he regretted betraying her trust, she just lied about her absence to make Puss feel better. Because she knows that Puss has an ego problem, and the knowledge that Puss himself knows it allows her to start forgiving him.
@@seb3398 I think because every time he saw her after that he was nervous so she knew by his body language and his way of speaking to her that he never showed because if he did he would be angry at her for not showing up. At least that’s the way I took it
This film scores additional points when you realise Puss's character development is literally and metaphorically represented by the Gatito Blade. The addition of a parrying dagger to Puss's hyper-aggressive fencing style allows him to, well, *_parry_* and defend himself. It gives him a literal advantage during the final confrontation with Death _and_ represents his newfound urge to protect himself and his last life.
a moment that always makes me slightly choked up was when puss gets cut for the first time and we see his literal lives flashing. his introduction to the orphanage, the way he sees Imelda, the first time he gets his boots, the adventures he has with shrek and how happy he was with them overall just makes you feel like you’re there with puss. i loved the original puss in boots movie, grew up with it too and seeing the flashbacks happen from the original movie AND the shrek series?? genuinely makes you believe he could’ve died right there in which creates the fear in the viewer as well for death bc puss made it feel like we were invincible too. I’ve over analyzed this scene too many times but it is such a great reminder of appreciation for your life no matter how grand or boring it may be
@@therewasoldcringe oh yeah…trolls, turbo, monsters vs aliens, and boss baby were way better than ANYTHING Disney has ever made. Wow, I’m so glad they cancelled that Indian inspired movie and 3D and 2D hybrid movie about shadows and made Peabody and Sherman instead. Let’s give DW props for the good they do, but let’s not kid ourselves that everything they’ve done is high art.
@@ma.2089 It's okay to dislike things, but I don't think any that you mentioned are bad movies. From what I remember, Trolls did feel like it was made specifically for kids unlike movies such as Puss in Boots or How to train your dragon which feel like movies meant for kids but also other ages. However, as much as people like to meme about it, Trolls tackles some interesting topics in very creative ways. And, although it's very much a taste thing, I think the style of animation is absolutely gorgeous.
One thing I geeked out on Twitter recently is, whenever we hear Death's whistle, it's in A minor starting on the 7th (G B D), but the very last one we hear when he's leaving Puss to live his life, it changes to A major starting on the 1st (A C# E). Major keys are usually for happier, more light-hearted tunes, while minor keys are for darker, brooding, or sad tunes. This comment brought to you by a huge music nerd. EDIT: I've been corrected in that the first key is actually in G major; I assumed A minor given it's no flats or sharps signature. I studied music for 8 years, but dropped out of college prior to learning about "tonal center" and "juxtaposition of melody" or whatever the hell. Still, point stands: it changes at the end of the film, which is neat. Music is neat.
As someone with near perfect pitch, you're...somewhat correct. All his whistles are in a major key. I went back to listen to make sure I was right, and his first whistle is G major...buutttt you're correct that his last whistle is A major. Same tune, different key and tonal center. I say this because you say G B D but that is the outline of a G major chord, there's nothing 'minor' about it and the tonal center is 100% G. So it's more about the juxtaposition of a melody in a major key associated with the thing we all fear to some degree...but keeping it in a major key and raising it when we accept the inevitable. In many ways that more subtle powerful than doing the usual major v minor key.
When I was 17, I was hit by a car. It was the second time in my life. And it completely changed my perspective of life afterwards. I decided I'd stop being afraid of dying, and instead I would just live every day in a way that I'd be okay leaving off on. Being kind to everyone is one of those ways, but being kind to myself is bigger. I love that you guys touched on that fear being normal and using it to drive yourself rather than to hide
I saw this movie in an old theater. That moment when Death growls in Puss' face (26:30) the bass from his growl SHOOK THE THEATER. The panic attack initially sold me on this movie, but the intensity of Death in that moment brought me in to see the movie again. I echo Alan at 21:44. "I like movies that are good. More please."
I can’t even describe how much I love this movie. Death is the coolest interpretation of Death I’ve seen. The Panic Attack scene is so relatable but also it’s cool it’s in a kids movie. Anxiety doesn’t discriminate, even on age. I’ve had a couple panic disorder since I was young. Kids who have panic attacks can see it and relate. And the ART STYLE is beautiful.
What's even more mind blowing is that he's only in about 10 minutes of the movie and is only LITERALLY on screen for about 5.5 minutes... and yet he has such a huge impact on the movie.
So true. Kids media is often watered down and sugarcoated, afraid to touch on serious topics of mental health, mortality, and more. But kids do think about these things, they just don't understand it yet. Kids media should be offering more positive representation like this, to help them not only understand what they are going through and feel heard, but even to look for help and solutions when they saw none.
I was genuinely surprised by the Spiderverse-type animation and the added bleeps. This movie's story-telling was a lot better than I expected as well. I'm so so happy you chose to watch this! It's one of my favorite animated movies already!
I wanted to share this with Jonathan so BAD: My first panick attack fearing death was when I was 8 years old... I bawled LOUD and clear saying that I didn't want to die
@@MegaMew204 My beloved Granny died on the previous year of some mysterious lung disease so severe we didn't have time to diagnose it... only to stabilize its symptoms. Thanks for asking 🙂
Before someone in an actually abusive relationship hears the commentary at 20:00 please do know that if you are in a legitimately off relationship and it's not just regular downs that could be overcome-- do actually distance and set boundaries from people who aren't good for you. I have been in therapy and have learned that just because I'm open and willing to change and yield tools for growth-- doesn't mean others will be willing to do so and accept accountability. Don't feel guilty for doing what is right for you. Being an adult isn't about learning how to settle for less.
Yeah I think their point is to be able to differentiate what is an actual toxic relationship and what is just regular ups and downs. Because if you treat a bad day as a sign that you need to leave your partner, that could be very bad.
@@AlyxxTheRat That is very true. I agree. Shortly after she notes how in modern day we've a lower tolerance for this stuff and cut off many people ultimately ending up alone. (I'm in there)
Yes, this. I also don't think that the epidemic of loneliness is because of what Emma described. I think it's much more complicated, deeper and widespread than "people have become too picky or selective." I see so so so many healthy messages about setting and having boundaries that were non-existent 20 years ago. If this means people spend less time in unhealthy situations overall, this is a *good* thing. As someone who is currently in an abusive relationship, who had already done 10+ years of work to heal and cut off contact from abusive family of origin before entering into this relationship, I appreciate the wealth of messaging about setting boundaries and reminders about what I don't have to tolerate.
I love kitty's "that was the saddest funny story I've ever heard" remark to purrito bc as someone who grew up w childhood trauma I thought was normal I hear that exact thing all the time and I found it very relatable. 😅
What makes Perrito great to me is that he leaves an impact on others. And I don't mean the "therapy dog"- side of him that brings out the best in people, I mean how Puss and Kitty genuinely care about him. BEFORE he has really done a lot for them. The "annoying sidekick" is often the one in movies/books that gets threatened or kidnapped by the antagonist. When that happens, two of the main heroes always have this type of conversation: Character A: "Ohhh nooo, they have [annoying side character]!... Anyway, let's keep going!" Character B: *Glares at character A* Character A: *Sighs* "All right, let's go get [annoying side character] In Puss In Boots, there wasn't a bit of hesitation or doubt when Perrito got kidnapped. Both Kitty and Puss went into protective mode, they were mortified and worried and would have given anything to get him back. I always wondered why I should care about a comic relief character that not even the heroes like. But Perrito was a part of the family and he was so loved by our main protagonists.
Absolutely. He was played so straight and was delightful as a character while being funny and "annoying". He was one of the best examples of this archetype I have seen
2 therapy channels coming together to therapeutically analyze a movie is something that I'm living for. Especially the thought of "grieving" your past self.
It would be so cool for them to do Villain Therapy on all three antagonists: Death, Jack Horner, and Goldilocks. They all serve such specific and unique purposes in the story and are done so well.
I don't think Death needs a villain therapy. Death has always been Death, there is no conflict to resolve like Goldie and Jack Horner. He's just a collector, he arrives when your time comes. I think he's mentally the healthiest antagonist of the movie because of the very deliberate person he always has been. He's Death, straight up
it took reading this comment to realize that the movie has three villlains. Like, I knew all of them were villains but I never put it together that this is a 100 minute movie with three villains, and all of them work. That's incredibly hard to pull off (just think of Spiderman 3, which had a lot more time and still messed it up). Makes me like this movie even more.
@@DerMoerpler and actually it gets even better-this film managed to pull off a wide scope of antagonist/villain archetypes. Jack Horner - 1-dimensional pure evil villain (chaotic evil) that is vindictive, cruel, and narcissistic (basically your classic Disney evil villain) who remains evil and faces dire consequences in the end. But he is fun, funny and effective against our heroes. Death - 2-dimensionsal somewhat evil villain (lawful evil) that is menacing, dark and competent. I say somewhat evil because at the end of the day, he's doing his job as death. He's holding a mirror to Puss who doesn't value his life, so there is a poinant message behind his motivation. BUT there is a certain maliciousness to his character because he enjoys tormenting his targets and making "the chase" fun. Not to mention, he threatens to cut Puss's last life short before his "supposed time" basically to save himself the trouble and because he despises Puss. But in the end, he is fair. He lets Puss go for now to live out his life, because both of them know they will meet each other again (bone-chilling). Goldilocks - 3-dimensional antagonist (chaotic neutral) that is sympathetic, loving, mischevious, a bit sadistic at times with a misguided motivation (she fits the mold of the redeemable, sympathetic villains we typically see today). I say anatgonist rather than villain because there is nothing in Goldi that is particularly evil; the only thing that makes her an antagonist is that she gets in the way of our heroes, which is the role of an antagonist. She is the one that receives the redemption arc in the end because she realizes her misguided intentions and does the right thing-appreciate the family she already has. It's unbelievable that they managed to squeeze so much villain characterization in one film and at the same time, it did not feel overcrowded. Each one got the time they needed, and served their purpose. And what's really interesting is all of them are not only mirrors to our three heroes, but all of them teach different lessons surrounding the theme of the movie to "value life." Many years ago, audiences wanted a Goldi character-villains that have a point and/or are sympathetic in some way-in response to the typical Jack character-classic pure villains that are evil for the sake of being evil. But it seems today's media has overcorrected where you always have redeemable villains, or no villains at all. They wanted a Jack Horner back. This movie gave us that and more, with the addition of Death who is somewhere in between. Goes to show that all three can work depending on their execution and the story you are trying to tell :)
All the villains in this movie are my favourite villains of all time (so far, so don’t come after me unless your favourite villain is Hans from Frozen or something)
I’m personally going through a period of existential dread of death that literally keeps me awake at night, so this movie means so much to me. I’ve seen it SO MANY times and it always says new things to me. I’m currently living as Puss in the retirement home, so this movie is really trying to call me out, lol. The anxiety attack makes me SOB.
Live your life, Puss. Live it well. Beautiful. We can all fill in our names here. Thank you, Emma. Wonderful collaboration. Nice meeting the guys of Cinema Therapy.
I love when Puss first faces Death, his eyes are reflected on Deaths sickles, but by the final fight its Deaths eyes...a reflection of facing his fear and growth as a character. Its the small details like this that make this movie so good!
This movie has so many reversal mirrors-the eyes, the "pick it up", how/when he loses his hat/sword, the silhouette usage, the key change in Death's whistle...
The fact that a movie about Spanish-speaking cats felt more human than any of the human characters in Lightyear, Strange World and Velma speaks volumes.
@@littlegiantj8761 Yes. Velma. Especially how they portrayed Velma's supposedly panic attack scenes and how they handled it. As a person who has had panic attacks since I was 13, you cannot calm someone dealing with a panic attack by kissing them. It would make it even worse or can turn fatal. I was literally enraged at how Mindy Kaling chose to view psychologists and guidance counselors as weak-minded people, an NPC or even the jobs they partake in as an unworthy cause.
I think my favorite thing about Perrito in the panic attack scene is that he’s actually using a real therapy dog technique called deep pressure therapy, which works very similar to how a weighted blanket would. It shows a bit of character development for him, because when he mentions the fact that he wants to be a therapy dog, he’s convinced that people will feel better if they rub his belly. In that scene however, he knows that that’s not what Puss needs, so he makes adjustments to his technique in order to best help his friend. From a writing standpoint, it’s an excellent piece of subtle character development.
Totally agree that Kitty had to be capping, to spare Puss's feelings. She was so angry about the wedding in the beginning, but she was so nonchalant about it after overhearing Puss's conversation with Perrito.
Kitty doesn't strike me as the type to lie to spare a person's feelings. Kitty is a deceiver by nature, but she tends to open up to those who manage to break down her walls. Like when she shared her troubles with Perrito at the river because she sympathized with him or when she talked about getting declawed to Puss in the first film. Declawed cats can become more defensive, since they're stripped of their primary natural defense and I don't think was as broken up about Santa Coloma than she wanted Puss to believe. When he saw trying to steal the map too, Puss kept acting like he could win her over in spite of what happened. Kitty was likely responding in a way that would quash any hopes he had of trying to pull the wool from over her eyes, since from my observations a lot of her defensiveness in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" was a reaction to Puss trying to take the map from her.
@@ThePrincessCH kitty attacked Puss before she even knew what was going on. And then got angry when she realized it was Puss. So I don’t think you’re right there. She probably was very hurt, but not cuz he left her at the alter. Rather, she felt bad cuz he never explained what happened. Once she knew why he backed out, she could either be ready to lie to make him feel better or tell the truth since she doesn’t care if they’re married or not. She only cares that she can trust him.
@@ma.2089 I felt like what happened at the beginning was kind of obvious, the two were competing for the same score like in the first film. Kitty and Puss are both thieves by trade, not to mention she was hiding inside the chest that he unlocked, and it's not like they can split the reward. Also, Kitty only brought up Santa Coloma a couple of times, and their banter for the most part of the film was actually pretty playful.
@@ThePrincessCH She's also someone who has a hard time with emotional vulnerability. I think she lied about not being there, but less to spare Puss's feelings, and more so that she didn't have to hear him apologize and share that vulnerable moment. She basically cuts him off just when he's leading up to one
On a separate note, regarding those who think that Kitty didn't show up at the wedding, here are my thoughts on why I think she absolutely did show up: 1) She spends the first half of the movie clearly being pissed at Puss for something, and by the way that he grabbed her by the tail, it's clear that they know each other more than simple acquaintances (hinting at a deeper relationship) 2. From seeing how she double-crossed Goldi and the bears, we know that she's more than willing to lie if she seems it necessary 3. Kitty's wish, as shown by the map, is all about companionship, so why wouldn't she show up at the wedding (as marriage is often seen as the ultimate companionship) 4. She overhears Puss tall about Santa Caloma with Perrito and how much he regrets it 5. If she didn't show up, how would she know that Puss didn't show up (i.e. being left at the altar implies that you're at the altar in the first place) 6. If she didn't show up, wouldn't that make her a bit of a hypocrite, and thus lessen the severity of Puss' wrongdoing? Which then leads me to why she would lie about not showing up 1. She is helping Puss not to wallow in self-loathing, since she can already see that he's sorry 2. She's making the point about why would she want to show up for "that guy" (i.e. Puss' narcissistic legendary self), and acknowledging how much she's seen him change I hope this is a sufficient explanation for that particular sequence, because that seems to be where most people are confused with this movie. Either way, this movie is still amazing 😍😁😍
@@g.d.graham2446 Respectfully, I disagree. While I see your points why she did show up I think there is still a gray area. Your argument for that seems to be based on "how did she know tho?" which is valid but there could be plenty of explanations that just weren't explored in depth. 1. Maybe she was intending on going but realized that Puss was getting cold feet. That could have made her realize "I'm not going to show up because he's not going to show up". 2. She could have heard from another source (the pastor? the guests? someone else?) that Puss didn't show up either. 3. Kitty maybe wasn't even mad about it in the first place. Obviously they hadn't talked since before the wedding. Maybe she was more mad about being abandoned and never talked to since over the wedding. I'll also add that canonically Kitty isn't really the type to do things simply to make people feel better. She lies. She offers compassion. She doesn't seem like the type to truly hide how something impacted her though. She hid her wish but she didn't hide her inital anger or attempt to hide her pain when Puss left her and Pietro. In my opinion, Kitty seems more likely to have comforted Puss by not including the bit she didn't show up if she truly didn't. She probably would have simply gone "Hey it's fine. I know I couldn't actually compete with your one true love anyway." She didn't need to lie so why would she have? I'm not saying your interpretation of how she acts is wrong, I think it's still on point. It's just not how I view her. While it wouldn't have been like her to lie in that context, she could have very well pushed that aside to comfort her old partner. There's too many variables is what it boils down too. That's why I think there's no correct answer. I think it's meant to be up to the viewer. It was so vague and the story doesn't change significantly either viewpoint. I'd say that if that's how you chose to interpret the story, that's great. I think that it isn't an argument though against the other side because it's just as significant.
As an extreme black and white thinker, hearing that it’s okay to just feel whatever feeling is coming, or just knowing that if you feel guilt or sadness or anxiety around a person who you care about once in a while, it’s okay, you don’t need to just leave them because not everything will be good.
Yeah, nothing in life is ever gonna be good all the time. The real question is whether it’s worth it. Take it from me; I married the literal man of my dreams, but mental health and financial struggles have rudely intruded on our little Heaven more than once. Nothing is ever gonna be perfect all the time. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be worth fighting for.
I have always felt that the old saying: "The one who hides in bed dies anyway" sums up the need in all of us to not fear death (or failure, or pain) to go out there and live our best life.
I saw this in theaters with two siblings also in their 20's and when I say that the Death whistle in surround sound made all of us nervous, it's the truth. I went thinking it was gonna be an over done kids movie, but now it's one of my favorites. Thank you for finally doing this video.
I love how Puss was saved by the gatito blade given to him by Kitty, kind of symbolic how his grown relationship with her and Perrito is what saved him in the end
Honestly, my favorite part about the panic attack scene isn't the fact it's just so accurate, but more of the fact that they don't play it off as a joke. They take it seriously, and they never use it as a punchline. And that is amazing.
The death reveal scene is one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen, like it is absolutely perfect. Death comes across as insanely terrifying, from the framing, to the directing to the voice acting. This is puss in boots 2, nobody expects this movie to try, and yet it’s working so hard!
His first scene he just appears. No intro, no buildup. He's just there. And then you can go back and realize that he is in the background for each of his 8 deaths (I think). Death comes on all of us with no warning.
Last Wish is aimed at children, yet treats panic attacks more accurately than Velma, which is supposedly an adult animation. The Velma writers could learn a thing or two from Puss in Boots!
No use. "Adult" in western animation means "Sex, violence, drugs, asshole characters. Now laught". Kinda ironic, it ends up coming out like something an edgy preteen made while PG-13 stuff ends up more mature and realistic but it's the sad truth
Imagine them actually watching that scene and think they have learned a thing or two from it and they just fuck up their attempts even more for their show
Can we kindly stop saying this movie is aimed at children when the entire message is something EVERYONE goes through and is one of the most crucial, natural aspects of every human being's life? The only reason this movie is PG is because Dreamworks likely isn't allowed to up their rating due to reputation, etc. But they sure as heck pushed the limit, and this is one of those movies that deserves to be considered a story for _everyone_ . Not just kids. It's animation, it's a story, it's an insanely relatable lesson and plot-line with so much reality check mixed into that I can't bring myself to call this a "kid's film". There is no way the people who made this movie created it with only children in mind.
@@alyssabullock6421 It’s not a kids film. It’s an “everybody” film. My 5 year old daughter LOVES this movie and sings that “Favorite Fearless Hero” song all the time. She thinks the “Grim Reaper Wolf” finished off Big Jack off screen. And my husband isn’t a movie person, much less so for animation, and this is the only thing he will watch with us aside from Bluey. And Bluey is the only thing outside of the news and crime dramas that he will watch.
I can't believe you didn't start with Death's introduction... the fight, the fact that Puss got touched by an enemy's blade for the first time, his first fear.... So. Damned. Good.
When I saw that panic attack scene from Puss I cried, and I haven’t cried that hard for a movie in such a long time. It was so accurate to REAL panic attacks, even down to Perrito comforting him, cause my dog does the same thing when I’m having one. Basically broke down with how represented I felt, shout-out to Dreakworks for genuinely putting in good work for the movie☺️
When my daughter started therapy I mentioned that she had been having panic attacks, and she argued that she hadn't. After we watched this she was ready to admit that she'd had panic attacks.
That’s awesome that watching this helped her possibly feel seen! I’ve only seen the one panic attack clip and I felt very seen just from that clip alone!
This movie was a diamond in the rough of children's movies last year. I was absolutely stunned that they managed to cover topics like anxiety, adopted families, and death as well as they did. I'm so glad that y'all watched it as well! Edit: love to see the other person copy my comment 🫠
I went to see this movie on the day of my 26th birthday. I felt a little silly, admitting that is genuinely what I wanted to do with my time, but I had heard praise for its depiction of a panic attack. I've been stuck in constant terror mode for the last 9 years, and this movie had me sobbing. I knew it would have a panic attack in it, but I didn't know the entire movie would be about fear! It could not have come at a more perfect time in my life. It's absolutely in my list of all time favorites now. It's rare to find a movie that hits heartfelt, action, comedy, with a bit of horror AND be gorgeous all at once.
I really liked the message behind this movie. It's great to teach kids what it means to be afraid, how to get through it, and that it's okey! Also the animation?? The bomb!
I'm 18 years old. I've been dealing with anxiety since I was 12 years old, maybe earlier. This movie has made me cry so many times just because of how real the representation of a panic attack is. I remember my first panic attack which is what I believe to be the final switch for my developing clinical anxiety disorder. I remember my heart beating. I remember feeling like I couldn't get enough air no matter how deeply or quickly I breathed. I had no idea what was happening to me. It felt like the back of my neck was being drenched in red hot magma. I couldn't stand, I couldn't really even move. I was shaking and having these uncomfortable involuntary full body spasms, to the point where my mom who is a nurse told me it looked almost like a granmal seizure (if that's how it's spelt). One of the scary things about it was that I had no control over my own body and I was panicing for a reason I didn't think I should have been panicing for. The worst part about it was my mind. The first thought I had when it started was "oh my god I'm dying". Many people disregard or underestimate panic attacks as something minor. I can tell you it isn't. I have and always will describe a panic attack as torture because that's what it is. I may not have been bruised, scraped, or cut, but a real panic attack is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. When Puss ran through the forest and collapsed against a tree, wide eyed, panting, his heart beating so hard he couldn't hear anything, because he was feeling a way he refused to believe he should be feeling, I cried. I don't often cry, but I did for this. I truely felt like "oh my god, someone understands". Now for the most part my panic attacks last about an hour where I can't move, and there was one that lasted a full week (I was honestly ready to do something I'd regret just to make it stop) but even just seeing a quick few minutes of panic from this animated cat made me feel like it really wasn't just me. I'm so happy to have a movie like this. Anxiety isn't something minor to be scoffed at. It's a mental illness and it's serious. I hope because of this and people like you speaking on this that more people will recognise what people like me have to go through.
I think the burial scene was also just an awesome "death of ego" thing, it was just the initial start of his path to having some ego death and letting go of this idea he had of himself that just wasnt working for him anymore.
This movie was such a pleasant surprise. I loved the first Puss in Boots, but this one blew it out the water. It hit so many deep elements. The anxiety scenes were so well done. I cried multiple times watching this. It just hit to close to home ❤
Imo, the most important part of making a good major side character that also serves as a comic relief is to not only have their jokes be funny, but to also give them personality and a good role in the story outside of just being funny. And the writing for Perrito is an excellent example of that. I thought I was gonna dislike him, but he ended up becoming one of my favorite Shrek characters.
I love how at first deaths whistle is terrifying and crawling at your spine giving you chills, then after puss fights death the whistle simply sounds beautiful instead. At least for me ❤
So, I'm gonna say a theory about Perrito that I've seen a while ago: The whole map of his trail to the Star is actually full of unalive and death concepts. English is not my first language, but from wat I understood the place "Pocket Full o'posies" is about a part of a nursery rhyme, and it's a flower that plague doctors put on deceased patients. "The River of Relaxation" could be about the River of Styx, the afterlife. "The Field of Quick and Easy Solutions", another unalive concept to end the suffering "the easy way". I don't think Perrito is clueless about his surroundings, and just like you said I think that's his way of coping to not have unalive thoughts. People always say that people who smile more are the ones who need more help.
I agree. He seems naive but the there are the moments such as the panic attack where he realizes when something is bad. He recognizes puss’s distress, he recognizes how leaving Kitty at the alter was a bad thing, he is scared of Jack Horner. He recognizes bad things but chooses to cope with them by looking at the good things no matter how small or ridiculous they seem. He also jokes about how badly he was treated which I’ve seen in a lot of people with low self esteem. His jokes such as the “funny story” and his insult game with the bears are examples of him poking fun at himself.
A comment a saw on another review of this movie mention how Perrito says to Goldie "From one orphan to another, you hit the orphan lottery" He knows he's an orphan, and he's still happy. also I LOVE the anime influenced style of things. It's great for me to see western animation being influences by such a popular animated story telling medium
I really love how El Perito doesn't get excited about his chance to be a real therapy dog. No, "this is my moment." Just empathy and compassion and quiet purpose. He would deserve it if he did, but I think it's so significant and meaningful that he's not thinking about himself at all in that moment. It's okay to think of yourself, but there's a wholesome goodness in genuinely putting others first, so long as it's not instead of yourself.
My Eulogy: "Who?" Dreams and goals are what makes us happy. It's important to enjoy journey, but we also need to be something to try for. Puss is lucky to be in an American movie. in Italy cats only have seven lives.
I used to be so afraid of death as a kid. My anxiety was really high, but I then found Ask A Mortician. As I learned more about death, I grew less afraid. Now, I'm proud to call myself a deathling.
I had panic attacks when I was in the hospital. I had been in an accident and was in the icu, I was so scared at night and there was nothing I could do. My nurses helped me by giving me these warm blankets they had, they were really thick and heavy and just made my heartbeat slow down.
When he talks about being stuck in a sock and thrown into the water, it reminds me of how I felt when Olaf got impaled in Frozen and was so blaise about it.
I cried like a baby with every second of this movie, i’m in a moment of my life where I feel afraid always, I can’t sleep, I can’t do a lot of stuff I used to do before and this movie reflected the sensation perfectly.
Chihuahuas were actually considered to have healing powers by the Aztecs and would basically act as hot water bottles. My chi-mix definitely helps bring my anxiety down.
I started crying the first time I saw the panic attack scene, especially when Perrito is just trying to calm him down but doesn’t understand. More people need to see this movie.
I think I like this movie so much because a hero who many people looked up to as kids who was fearless and just a cool character in general is relatable. So many people have anxiety (myself included) and seeing a “fearless” hero have a panic attack just hits me right in the feels
It took me this long to watch this movie, and man, I knew I needed to watch it this entire time, but man, am I sad I waited this long. As someone who loves folklore, I ADORE Death's depiction here, though he's a bit tsundere. Death is, quite literally, like the other fairytale characters, the folklore representation of death. Every SINGLE civilization that has ever walked the earth has a folklore personification of death, and Muerte here carries a lot of them in him. The cloak, Scythes, the skull on his face, the fact he's a wolf, the figure with red eyes, the whistling in the distance. But that's the important thing to note, he's ALL the folklore versions of death, which it's important to ask yourself what awaits at the end of your life? The warm embrace of Death. Warm, not cold. Death embraces us all, equally, as equals, and as friends. That's all death is, an old friend reminding you, from the day you meet, "please, live a life worth living" because if you haven't you will run from him, but if you have, then you know that you have a warm hug to look forward to. "Greeting Death with open arms"
Thank you so much for making this video, and especially for covering the panic attack scene in particular! I have severe anxiety, and that scene spoke so strongly to me that I cried when I first watched The Last Wish. I still cry every time I rewatch that scene because it’s so accurate, and it doesn’t portray having a panic attack as something that you need to “just get over it,” or as some weird light and sound show that is far from how a panic attack really feels. I love how you guys broke down the process of having a panic attack and what really helps to calm you down from one. Again, thank you so much! ❤
That panic attack scene had me bawling my eyes out 😭 Ive recently started having panic attacks after like a year of not having one, and this scene just broke me😭😭💀
The panic attack scene is actually my favorite in this movie. As a person with clinical depression and generalized anxiety, panic attacks and anxiety episodes used to be exceedingly common for me. Small tasks like getting ready or going into work used to make me feel like my legs were stone and that the world was caving in on me. The scene emulates that feeling of distressed helplessness perfectly, and the moment of clarity for Puss is very real (at least to me) because I’ve been in that spot so many times. Thankfully, I’m doing incredibly better now and am high functioning again. I will say this for those like me: the solution you’re looking for may not be the one you need. For me, I ended up discovering I was over medicated, and it was making everything worse. I ended up throwing most of them away, I went from 11 medications to 4. PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID, CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE STOPPING ANY MEDICATION. I was lucky enough not to have any side effects because the main depression medicine I was on was compensated in it’s absence because I was taking another pill from the same family. Your solution is out there, and if you think you’re at a dead end and don’t know what to do next, then talk to someone. Hell, I’ll happily respond to this message if you need a helping hand. Stay strong everyone. Thank you Cinema Therapy for what you do. ❤ EDIT: Fun Fact! Muerte said "Why the hell did I play with my food?" When he was cursing to himself at the end of his and Puss' battle.
The Goo Goo Dolls have a song called “So Alive” and one of the lyrics, and it’s one of my all time favorites, is “Never gonna live, if you’re too scared to die”

I had so much low expectations for this movie that I was genuinely shocked how incredible it was! Keep up the great videos!
Important note: look at Perritos Map
The locations on it could also be read as an attempt to suicide
can't wait to see the Villain Therapy of Big Jack Horner.
I'm sure you have a line up of movies your planning to dom can you add Twister to that list and the Mummy with Brendan Fraser 💗 those are my favorite movies... Do that saw something about me lol . Love your channel so glad I found it
What is the cost of one of these appointments? I looked at the website but it did not show me prices.
When I started having panic attacks, we adopted a very cuddly cat. Best helper ever. She even learned to notice stress in me, so when I'm frantic, she will come up to me and start meowing untill I sit down and let her lie on me. She is amazing. Not trained or anything, just a great cat.
That's so lovely!
I have the same thing! My cat isn't trained, but when I'm depressed or panicked, he will either meow at me to get me to move (depression) or meow loudly enough to alert someone else (panic). Cats are such joys.
Dude when I had anxiety attacks during middle school due to some bullying, nothing made me feel better than my cats. I don't know how they knew when I was stressed but man they felt it for sure, and nothing made me feel better than cuddling with them. What was crazy was that neither of them normally liked being touched or petted but if I was getting an anxiety attack they would let me hug them n stuff like that. Even to this day if somebody's yelling or upset they'll meow and get between people until it stops. Amazing animals, even if they bite my ankles when they're hungry lol.
Similar! Double whammy for us, my husband with anxiety & me with chronic depression. But, we have the sweetest little boy cat that’ll come & cuddle up right under the chin. Don’t take these wonderful loving creatures for granted ❤.
Oh my gosh THATS SO CUTE!!! what a good kitty!!
The panic attack in the forest was, no joke, the most accurate representation of how it REALLY feels in any media ever
Too realistic, I stared bawling at the cinema lol
Exactly! I’ve had panic attacks before and it felt so real watching Puss going through that too. I remember watching this and my boyfriend immediately going for my hand, asking if I was gonna be okay watching this. I got a little nervous with hearing the heartbeat and he reminded me to do my breathing techniques to help me come out of it.
And it's also just so accurate that a good dog can just be there and help with that. Just with their loving presence
OMG I love Emma this Collab is the best.
I think Ted Lasso’s depictions were accurate as well
Death is just so great, one of if not the best DreamWorks antagonist ever. I like how, at the start, Puss was bragging about having "never been touched by a blade." So the moment Death was actually able to cut him, Puss became a scared, anxious mess. It's the moment he realized he's not invincible after all.
I still say Rameses is still the best Dreamworks antagonist as I’d argue that movie is their best film they’ve ever done, but I have to say…I didn’t expect to enjoy the heck out of One Last Wish as much as I did! I caught the Wolf being Death pretty quickly because of he were a bounty hunter he would have tried harder to catch Puss…plus the coins in his eyes at the one point was a dead (pun intended) giveaway, but that whistle…THAT WHISTLE still chills me!
@Jennifer Hiemstra How bout this? Rameses is the best Dreamworks human villain while Death is best DreamWorks supernatural villain 🎉
@@dewolf123 I can live with that :)
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 Yeah you don't like a you're supposed to ship them no you're not supposed to do that he's a fearless villain.
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 you could also say that Death is the best antagonist, and Ramses is the best villain. Because Death is an antagonist, his only real motivation for going after Puss is to teach him to learn to value his life, and the moment that Puss finally does so at the end, he lets him go. Where as Ramses, is more of a sympathetic villain where you understand his motivations, but he never really comes around. And he's definitely more of an obstacle that the main character has to overcome, where as Death is just a foil for Puss character development. Jack Horner would be more of a villain in this movie, because of the fact that he is just straight-up an awful person.
I tear up every time I see the panic attack scene. Not only it being so accurate, but the idea of just having someone there who just waits with you, and reassures you, when everything feels out of your control.
It sure would have made all the difference when I started having them.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who would just hold me tight and say "shhh, it's ok" until I calmed down, no matter how long it took. She really helped me until I was able to calm myself down without help from others. I miss her.
and Perrito did what therapy dogs are trained to do. He put pressure on Puss's body to ground him and help him get his breathing under control
FR OMG it makes me bawl everytime

Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

2 Peter 3:1-18 “1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”

If anyone wasn't aware, at 26:40, the wolf is saying "Why did I play with my food?"
This was never a test to help Puss grow into something more than he was, he REALLY wanted to kill this cat.
No doubt, he did. His motive wasn’t to teach Puss a lesson. It was to take that last life, personally.
But, when he saw that Puss HAD changed, his desire to take that last life passed. A combination of frustration and resignation. Death pauses to confirm that Puss knows this is a temporary reprieve, which Puss acknowledges with humility.
@@M0rmagil i feel that wolf got some begrugent respect to puss in boots after all of that.
Fear keeps us safe, shame keeps us humble, guilt keeps us honest, loneliness keeps us together, even anxiety let's us know when something is wrong. For me, understanding why we even have these emotions helps me manage myself better.
Yes! And I'd add grief lets us know who and what we value.
Memento mori
Devil's Advocate moment: Fear makes us irrational, shame adjusts our moral compass at the time, guilt makes us grovel when wrong, loneliness makes us vulnerable, and anxiety waits in the background for sudden problems that verify its existence. /end devil advocacy?
"For me, understanding why we even have these emotions helps me manage myself better."
I want to end this on a positive but I've had a fuck of a day so I'll be back in edits. Look forward to it. *two finger eye to eye point*
If it comes up I always like to take a page from a GoT question when trying to identify which subordinate leader to take with them in the field versus leave behind to guard a castle: "Is it better to be fearless or brave?" They are similar but one has a downside.
@@christinaify Well, the fact that all these emotions have a purpose doesn't stop our stupid human brains from over complicating things, and misapplying them all over the place.
25:43 Fun fact: When Puss is using his gatito blade alongside his rapier, he's fighting with the same style as the Spanish tercios (17th century soldiers and mercenaries): Espada y Daga (sword and dagger), which was probably one of the most effective dueling styles at the time, and certainly more effective usually than just the rapier. In other words, after letting go of his past rejection of emotions and embracing the support his loved ones give him, he became both a better person and a better duelist.
Woah, I didn't know that, that's so cool!
Literally every new video I watch about this film I learn some new awesome detail...and I have watched dozens!
@@PsychicSiren7 it is. Fencing is awesome. The psychology of characters is awesome. Mix both and you get instant gold for someone who loves history
Love the detail!!!
I didn't know that. That's pretty cool. Thanks for that!
The second I saw the accurate depiction of Puss having a panic attack in the face of a near death experience and then being calmed down by a therapy dog, I said “Oh, CT has to do this one!”
Yep! 😁
It’s one of those things that I dislike about how people treat animation especially when targeted towards children because some people feel like it needs to be dumbed down and neutered to the point of almost being a useless parody for children to be able to understand it
NO
children are nature’s idiots but they are not stupid they have to learn and most are willing to if you format it in a way they like
The early 2000’s teen titans had a episode where they had a racial plot everyone but starfire(an alien from another planet) was being treated fairly the episode even threw in a slur for her people that her friends mistakenly started using as a term of endearment before learning that it translated to nothing aka worthless
Racism can be a heavy subject to approach but the episode is very good and that’s what I mean by how people toss animation to their children like they don’t respect their audience enough to actually use the concept it has to be so watered down that it’s nearly nonexistent
@@CrazyGamebino Children pretty much have high level mental faculties but next to no experience. Makes them very prone to bounce between extremes on the intelligence scale, but they're definitely capable of understanding anything you throw at them if you give them the chance and have a bit of patience to fill in their knowledge gaps.
I had the same thought
@@CinemaTherapyShow I don't see how it's accurate and I've had panic attacks before.
Fun fact! Death is dual wielding khopeshes which are Egyptian sickle swords. They were originally used to harvest grain before being turned into a sword. This is such a fantastic choice because it has the same symbolism of a scythe without completely giving away the twist (unless you're a freak who had an African sword phase in high school)
Sadly I feel like most people didn't make the connection and just jumped to Death dual wielding hand held hand sized scythes
Yes! So glad someone pointed it out! I learned about khopeshes by reading the Kane Chronicles, lol
@@isabellascaiaFELLOW RICK FAN SPOTTED!
nice!
I went through a sword phase in high school too. Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of it at this point 😏
Fun fact those aren't khopeshes, they're just straight up sickles.
Hi, former EMT here. The weighted blanket actually helps from a strictly anatomical perspective, too. :) The added weight pushing down on your chest triggers the autonomous nervous system and your body basically gets put into sleep mode. Your heart and breathing calm down and stressful thoughts are easier to let go of. We've frequently used weighted blankets to help disaster witnesses on scene out of panic attacks. Exclusively positive experiences with this on my end.
For me, they feel restricted and I feel restrained if any weight is on me.
One or two or three or all four of our kitties would come sit on me in bed at night. They obviously enjoy the extra softness and warmth, and until their weight numbs my arms / legs, it can be quite nice for me too. I do wake up with sore neck and back sometimes because someone takes up the whole pillow at night, but generally it is pleasant to have a soft and warm kitty curled up asleep on top of you :)
Please don’t make sexual jokes or advances or swear God wouldn’t like that and there are children here May God bless you and your family and help you Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. I pray that God will lead on the path to Jesus Christ and send the Holy Spirit to be your helper. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen! Jesus Christ loves you. Give your life to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness for ALL OF YOUR SINS. Even the ones committed in the past and repent. He’s coming soon. Please pray and repent. GOD IS ALPHA AND OMEGA!!! THE BEGINNING AND THE END!!! GOD SENT HIS SON DOWN TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS. PLEASE GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM!!! PRAY AND REPENT AND GOD IS COMING!!!!!! THERE IS NO TIME. FELLOW CHRISTIANS GOD WILL BE COMING DON’T LOSE FAITH!!! PLEASE!! PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND DON’T DOUBT HIM!!!

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”

@@angelemeana2754i aint reading allat
@@angelemeana2754what the hell are you talking about
The one character I really love in this movie is Perrito. His backstory is so horrible and sad, yet he still has so much optimism, appreciates all the good things in life, and just wants to help people. He's a perfect foil to Puss and Kitty who helps them both overcome their problems. We could all learn a thing or two from Perrito.
Oh I love him, easily my favorite.
His life was so horrendous even the wishing star itself thought that Perrito deserved it 💀
It's funny how he starts the movie almost seeming like he's going to be the annoying mascot sidekick, but then he instead turns into the heart of the movie with his sunny optimism and surprisingly high emotional intelligence. And he manages to be darkly hilarious with the foul mouth he picked up through his backstory.
@Axis Line Media No Team Friendship! It’s official. Even if that is a “terrible name”.
@@princesspikachu3915
I’d still go with team Amity
(Amity also means friendship, I think it sounds not only cute, it just sounds classy and cool)
Death is genuinely scary for kids and adults in a kids movie. He isn’t dramatically over exaggerated nor comically underplayed. Depicting Death as a wolf is also much scarier to a cat than making him another dog that Puss could easily out smart and maneuver.
I don't think I'd ever scared by an animation character like Death before.
Wonderfully written and animated.
Shi, my panic attacks over death are way more exaggerated lol, but still puss was verrry relatable(just more toned out than how I act)
and puss said he's afraid of wolves so that explains death's design
I always associated the wolf design with the Big Bad Wolf, which is pretty much the role he plays in this movie. Not an enemy to be defeated, the only way to survive is to learn the lesson the story is trying to teach
When I was a kid, I was scared of Death. The thought of my body being rigid, not feeling anything, no breathing and being still for the rest of time. But over time, I got over it after losing a few close relatives over the years, I know we can’t escape Death nor we can cheat it. We just have to learn to accept and live our lives, even if the shadow of Death is still out there.
Ya'll are giving me a much deeper respect and appreciation for Perrito's character. We always see, in movies, people wanting MORE. The Disney Princesses all have their iconic "I want" songs and usually the common factor that they want is MORE. People want more money, more time, more more more. It is actually really nice to see a character who DOESN'T want more...who is completely comfortable and happy with his life, exactly the way it is, even having been abandoned, multiple times, by his family and having just a sweater and 2 best friends. It makes him a very sweet and endearing character.
That’s fair! But the Disney characters you’re referring to didn’t want more for the mere sake of wanting more, it was literally because they were the black sheep of wherever they were. They felt so out of place that it’s very normal to want out of where you are in that scenario. They weren’t materialistic, they just knew there was more to life than being stuck being different then everyone else around them. And the beauty of those same characters are that they overall found their happiness in an unexpected place and that’s great too! Did Belle go searching for her soulmate? No she wanted a more adventurous life, but she found an adventure close to home and she found equal happiness there :)
But yes, we can all learn for Perrito too! Because what everyone else wants the wishing star for are selfish reasons, but Perrito is clearly supposed to be the character of pure intention. Think Harry searching for the sorcerers’ stone. Only the one with pure intentions is supposed to get it. Nothing wrong with striving for something else in life )Jono even said something to this effect in a recent video…don’t remember which) because it keeps us from being static but it’s when it becomes selfish and harmful to ourselves and others that it becomes a problem.
Who cares. No big deal. I want more.
There must be more than this provincial life.
I just can't wait to be king.
Am I just a poor boy, nosiree.
A perfect world begins and ends with me.
Wow, you were *not* kidding.
@@TheSchaef47 To be fair though, this is comparing main characters in Disney films to a side character. Don't get me wrong, Perrito is a great character, but there's a reason the film is about Puss, not him, because a character who is already happy and content from the start means there's no arc to go through.
Plus, while Disney is noted for all their "I want" songs they tend to use them to contrast that with what a character needs. Hercules sings about wanting to find where he belongs and at the start of the movie he believes that place is on Mount Olympus, but at the end of the movie when he actually gets there he realizes that where he belongs is back on earth. Aladdin wants to live in the palace, but at the end of the film when given the chance to use his third wish to be a prince he instead wishes for the genie to be free. Simba wants to become a king because he thinks that means he could do whatever he wants ("free to run around all day, free to do it all my way") but instead he learns that it is about accepting responsibility.
This is an arc Puss goes through where he searches for the star in order to get more lives but ends up accepting his own mortality.
What about esmeralda’s i ask for nothing i can get by
@@lagrandioso1456 Esmeralda is not the main character in Hunchback of Notre Dame. Quasimodo is:
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin
I'd treasure ev'ry instant
One detail I will always love is that the dark forest had challenges built to make people appreciate life and not use the wish, just look in the movie and you’ll see the connections
Like how Kitty had “The Eternal Abyss Of Loneliness” because she didn’t trust anybody or how Goldi had “Nostalgia Woods” or whatever because she wanted a family when she had one all along
Yesss and the way how even when they didn’t win and get that wish, they still “won”. They walked along that thorny path, they did some bad and some recklessness here and there, but they carried through. By the end, they didn’t need the wishing star/scroll. They needed that realisation. The realisation that once they worked hard enough to fix themselves, to get help and support from others, to step back and stop just for a moment, They had what it takes to make their wish into reality. That wish was a goal and they have made it.
I like the theory and I was wondering your thoughts on The cave of lost souls actually convincing Puss to take the wish?
@@Evelyn_Rose1151That’s just my opinion, but it looks more like showing who he used to be. You know how to go into your old messages and such and think «God than I thought when I wrote it.» He shouldn’t forget who he was, and Puss had to see the difference in points of view. At that moment, he finally realized that «The Hero who always works alone» is not for him, he was tired of it and wants light happiness, not glory from strangers and no one there to sincerely support him.
He changed on his way to the Star and he realized it.
He was led by fear, but it was also accepted at the end.
(I apologize for my possible grammar mistakes, etc., Eng not even my second language)
Actually, Perito's map exactly the reverse and an attempt to make him realise of how grim the worlf is. Pocket full of posies is a reference to the black plague, the river of relaxation an allusion to depression, and the "quick and easy solutions" is a euphemism for suicide. It's just all hidden behind is positive attitude, to the point that no character actually picks up on it, even while reading the map.
@@Evelyn_Rose1151 My thought is that Death wasn't supposed to be there. Him walking through the barrier that obliterates people shows he's beyond the Star's influence. The Cave of Lost Souls was supposed to make Puss realize how he wasted his past lives, but Death's intrusion messed it up and pushed him to want them back.
20:30 this line hit me like a ton of bricks: “we all have immaturity and insecurity to work through, and if we wait until we’ve worked through all of it to have a relationship, the human race will die.” I’ve been so scared of entering a romantic relationship because the perfectionist inside me keeps saying I need to “fix” my flaws on my own first. But I am learning to be vulnerable and to let others see the parts of me that I’d normally want to keep hidden. Thanks for sharing that very important truth.
so true
I've spent a decade feeling that perfectionist way towards seeking romantic relationships. Avoiding them. It's easy to have happen since life always throws us new curveballs as soon as we start to feel some sense of peace again after the past ones. For the very first time in my life, though, I fell in love, a little over a month ago. It didn't happen thru me looking for it. Instead, it happened because I was open to seeing what would happen with the person who approached me. I felt the compatibility during casual conversation upon meeting them. I would have been fine with us just being friends. But when I was asked out on a date I chose to say "yes." Equally importantly, from the very start with them every time I was asked about something about myself I chose to do the scary thing of giving them the straight, honest answer instead of presenting an idealized image. I have shown flaws that I haven't been brave enough to ever show anyone else. I think the reason the relationship has been working is because the other person has been doing the same.
Someone once told me that the right person wouldn't notice the things that I dislike about myself, because instead they would be too taken by my beauty to notice. I don't think that's it at all. Instead, I think it's that the imperfections are part of what make a person who they are and therefore seeing them allows us to love the full, beautifully imperfect package. Mutual patience and mutual acceptance. It is a precious gift to know what each other wishes to overcome and to be there during the journey. I hope my relationship lasts (a month is barely any time at all in the grand scheme of life!!), and I hope you will get to experience the same thing sometime soon. I hope every perfectionist out there reading this gets to! I don't think I have any tangible advice about how to find it, since all I did was to be open to seeing what happened (open to going on a date when someone else approached me and then terrifyingly honest about myself), but I hope you will get to experience it! 💝
When you find the right person your insecurities that pop up wont scare them away. Then you get a loving environment to continue to work on them without fear of rejection or abandonment. It is truly a beautiful experience
im so glad someone else pointed this out. i've been in that exact same mindset for years now and hearing jono say this really put everything in a new perspective for me.
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last summer and passed away in October. He said he lived a good life, had a good 81 years, and was ready to go. The only fear he had was making sure my mom, whom is significantly younger than he was, was going to be taken care of. Mom had a very successful career so he was not necessarily scared for her financially, but instead wanted to make sure she was supported emotionally. I told him I'd always take care of her and that seemed to settle him.
I miss him every day but knowing he walked into death with little to no fear brings me so much happiness.
I’m so sorry.
My deepest condolences
I’m sorry. He was very brave and kind.
I am really sorry you had to deal with that recently. My grandma passed away last year in August, and that was hard for my family and I. Just know you're not alone, and I'm so proud of you and your dad for doing what you do. I'm proud of him for seemingly walking into death fearlessly, and for you promising to take care of your mom. I hope you continue to do that, and that your father's love abides in your family, that you may be able to move forward, continuing to strive to be a better person each day.
Good night.
It's been ten years for my dad, it doesn't necessarily get easier, but when you struggle to remember him after this long, it's a bit difficult to have fresh wounds (unless you do grief therapy, I suppose). It's... bizarre.
Something i love about perrito in the panic attack scene, is that he waits to start talking or ask questions, until puss says something first, indicating hes ready to speak now. Like thats one of the greatest indicators that not only is he a character that is consistent and doesn't exist to just be some annoying comedic character to sell toys or whatever. He has a consistent characterization, and narrative purpose in the themes throughout the entire movie. He says he wants to be a therapy dog, and he actually is a damn good one. He doesn't have to go through any arc because hes already at the end of his arc, and his purpose is what the other characters can learn from him. Its SO GOOD!!! to just have an emotionally healthy character, that isnt some super cool grand master mentor, hes just a good guy, that has merit just by being himself!!! ❤❤❤
I was shock of how genuine Perrito is. I really thought that during the panic attack scene, he is gonna go “come rub my belly!”. But nope, he genuinely cares for Puss and tries to comfort him in a very serious manner.
@@avocado3-in-182 Exactly!! It sets him up as an annoying character to not think much of, and completely subverts your expectations by making him the genuine heart of the team!! 😭❤️
@@koolkel00 Same feelings here. When I first saw him, I was sure he's going to be one of those super annoying comic reliefs... and he isn't.
The best bit is after seeing this movie. People will be buying Perito plush toys and at some point or another this toy will actually help someone for real.
And it's honestly the BEST way to deal with someone who has panic/anxiety attacks!! At least for me, it's extremely difficult to talk through it, and when someone asks me questions or tries to talk to me when I'm going through it, it can make it worse cause I'm unable to answer which makes me spiral even more
I saw the panic attack scene on its own before and I was impressed with how well it was done.
Precisely, Velma writers, please take notes!
Absolutely
it literally started to make me panic cause I get them a lot and it was really accurate especially the breathing and like how everything gets weird like its hard to hear and stuff justs get blurry and you feel like you're gonna die and it just hit really close to home so when i saw it i started tearing up a lot 😓
For a second I thought you said the attack on titan scene and that you were referring to the intro that a lot of people said was inspired by it
the panic attack scene is so damn good. it breaks me down every time i see it because its so damn accurate. I also had used to have a dog who was a great emotional support animal who passed away 2 years ago, so i think of her everytime i see perrito just relax his head on puss's lap. its exactly what my dog used to do for me when i got panic attacks.
Something I like about Perrito as a character is that he reinforces the message ”be happy with what you already have” which is the message in the original Puss in boots story.
Huh
Didn't know that was in tge original story
Time to give it a reread
Honestly the panic attack scene is by far the best scene imo. I've never experienced one before, but the way Puss' breath quickens and his heart races feels so real. And when Perrito finds him no words need to be said, Perrito sees he's in trouble and lays his head on his chest, "I'm here," and it's so real and so beautiful
yeah panic attacks are no joke and can be triggered more easily and happen more often if they aren't treated quickly enough, it's an overwhelming sense of fear and helplessness that your body responds to. Taking deep breaths has been proven to slow your heart rate and tell your body/brain that you're safe.
@@caitlinsessom161 yeah I’ve only ever heard of them while reading (fanfics 😅) they sound terrible 😬
I also really like that Perrito is also scared because he doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't know how to help. But he ends up doing the thing that helps Puss, which--in this case--is being there and present and a physically and metaphorically grounding presence.
@@pinkpuppy7 Just being the therapy dog that he always wanted to be. Perrito got his wish without the star.
I went through one towards the end of highschool and this was exactly how i felt at the time
Something I've really liked about the last fight between Puss and Death is that Puss would have lost if not for the gatito blade Kitty gave him. A dagger he swallowed his pride to even take and use but also a gift from a loved one. That dagger carries a lot of meaning. Also, using a dagger while welding a rapier is an actual swordplay technique. I love all the details in this film.
Is it really? If so. That's is awesome! Don't know a thing about sword fighting but fist to fist, we can talk about for days lol

@@felwalkr_94 I looked up the info on his channel. It was made in 2022. About a year ago. Which indicates the possibility that it is either a troll account or a fake account for nefarious purposes.
Perito reminds me of when your normal-meter is so broken that you tell a 'funny childhood story' and everyone has the same looks as Puss and Kitty, and you realize "oh, that wasn't funny it was abuse"
Yeah, I feel that.
I think its more about how some of us deal with such overwhelming tragedy and loss, especially so early on in our lives. We can spend days crying and lamenting how cold and heartless others can be, but at the end of all that we are exhausted and drained yet still have to think about where / when our next meal will be and where our bed will lay. Time provides distance, so over the course of many years we can look back to realise the actions and thinking of those who did us wrong, were trivial at best and pitiful at worst. We are still alive, regardless of how much of our past was salvaged, so everything we discover in life from then on is a blessing and a gift - for we only have ourselves, our time and our company to offer in exchange to express our gratitude.
The slight widening of Puss’s eyes at the end during the stare down with Death is one of my favorite details. To me, it shows Puss finally recognizing his own mortality, and not with fear like the other times, but rather with regard and awe. A very unique touch to a great film.
hmm, I still think/see it as him being scared... but he has also accepted death. He will fight all he has got to keep on living, and yeah, death is scary and there, but while he is alive?... well, even scared, he will continue living.
Personally I dont see the awe part. Still, I appreciate you sharing your perspective in the movie (im not shooting you down, just giving mine in turn!)
@@capuchinosofia4771 I agree. I interpreted more as a, "Okay thank god now I can breathe for a second after all of this/he's finally giving me a break," but still in a sense where he's changed his perspective on the topic and something he's come to accept despite it taking an entire journey to, metaphorically and literally 😊I feel like it'd take that much time, especially as hard as a topic as death to work through. And in a healthy way. 👀 Hell death definitely still scares me, but I'd like to hope when it comes I won't feel like my life amounted to nothing. Yet now that I'm really thinking about it, I want to start reevaluating how I measure that worth.
Overall, this movie hit like a ton of bricks. The panic attack scene broke me in tears and when the reveal came that the wolf was ACTUALLY death I was like OH FUCK. It made me start to panic too like shieeettt.
Anyways, just thought I'd share my views as well and love hearing what people have to say about this film
The therapy dog scene made my cry in the theater, and made my cry now too! It's so gentle 😭
"My cry"lmao
Re: the fuzzy sound and blurry vision - the way it has been explained to me was that your blood pressure can get so bad it puts pressure on your eardrums and ocular nerves. This is the single most accurate portrayal of a panic attack I've ever seen, other than his relatively quick recovery (which I get, narratively - though I love the little detail of him taking a dry-mouthed gasp as he steadies himself). I've watched the clip many times over and it still makes me anxious. The animators put so much love and empathy into that scene because it really can feel like you are dying. The last time I had one was so bad I ended up in the hospital, which was embarrassing after 20 years of having them, but with this one I legitimately thought I was having a stroke. I lost control of my limbs, everything was so cold I couldn't feel anything, and I couldn't speak. And it went on for *hours* because I was so scared that I was dying. The physical effects are like dominos when we have really bad panic attacks. Our bodies can do *wild* things to us.
Honestly I've known people who come out of panic attacks surprisingly quickly. Like it passes suddenly instead of gradually and they just go straight to being exhausted. So it's not necessarily unrealistic depending on the person.
This movie blew my mind. The first Puss in Boots is just a film that exists, Last Wish is profound, exciting, hilarious, and full of emotion, and terrific character development.
The original film is okay. The only problem with the first Puss In Boots is that the sequel was too good. Like I seriously have no idea how it managed to be better than all of the Shrek movies including the “good ones”. It makes Shrek 2 look lazy by comparison. And Shrek 2 was the last “good one” though I have a soft spot for the 4th movie and consider it to be a sign of the darker themes we finally got.
@@princesspikachu3915 I think Last Wish was equal to Shrek 2, and I haven’t seen 3 or 4, but I assume it’s better than those.
@@Jess-737 What about Shrek 2, or Empire Strikes Back, or Toy Story 2, or Spider Man 2? I’m not mad, I just genuinely want your thoughts on those ones.
@@Jess-737 Huh? Dreamworks literally has a thing for a better sequel, Shrek and Kfp? Httyd?
@@nmnm_You’re right, but I don’t think the Httyd sequel is an example. It was good though.
One moment I love is when Puss uses the little cat blade during the big fight.
Even though he is physically alone while battling Death, he relies on his friends (through the use of the blade) in his time of need. In the beginning of the film, he wouldn't have done that. He says himself that Puss works alone. But by the end, he realises that not only its okay to have help from others but that he cant make it out alive unless he accepts that his friends are there to help
It also works cuz not only is that when helps him fight against death, but it shows to death that he’s changed. Death loses that one match cuz he didn’t realize Puss has changed, and when he realizes that Puss is actually is scared of death, but is ready to fight for the life he has, he decides Puss should live.
Kitty's theme plays in that moment, too, which is very cool.
I was hoping they’d get to this. My favorite part was Kitty telling Puss that she didn’t show either because she couldn’t compete with his one true love, himself. “The Legend”.
I was hoping they would, too.
I always thought it was a bit of a plot hole though. How does she know that Puss never showed up if she didn't show up either?
They both hinted to the fiasco at Santa Coloma beforehand as well so there's no excuse about it.
@@seb3398 I don't think it really is though. I think it's more implied by what she said that she knew he wouldn't. And yet some part of her was hoping to be wrong.
@@seb3398 I like the theory that she did show up, but after overhearing Puss talking to Perrito about how much he regretted betraying her trust, she just lied about her absence to make Puss feel better. Because she knows that Puss has an ego problem, and the knowledge that Puss himself knows it allows her to start forgiving him.
@@seb3398 I think because every time he saw her after that he was nervous so she knew by his body language and his way of speaking to her that he never showed because if he did he would be angry at her for not showing up. At least that’s the way I took it
This film scores additional points when you realise Puss's character development is literally and metaphorically represented by the Gatito Blade. The addition of a parrying dagger to Puss's hyper-aggressive fencing style allows him to, well, *_parry_* and defend himself. It gives him a literal advantage during the final confrontation with Death _and_ represents his newfound urge to protect himself and his last life.
And Kitty gave it to him, literally a means to fight for his life
Something and someone worth fighting and living for
a moment that always makes me slightly choked up was when puss gets cut for the first time and we see his literal lives flashing. his introduction to the orphanage, the way he sees Imelda, the first time he gets his boots, the adventures he has with shrek and how happy he was with them overall just makes you feel like you’re there with puss. i loved the original puss in boots movie, grew up with it too and seeing the flashbacks happen from the original movie AND the shrek series?? genuinely makes you believe he could’ve died right there in which creates the fear in the viewer as well for death bc puss made it feel like we were invincible too. I’ve over analyzed this scene too many times but it is such a great reminder of appreciation for your life no matter how grand or boring it may be
I'll say it again, Dreamworks is outdoing Disney, this film is stunning! So impressed with everyone who worked on it.
dreamworks has been outdoing disney since it started
@@therewasoldcringe oh yeah…trolls, turbo, monsters vs aliens, and boss baby were way better than ANYTHING Disney has ever made. Wow, I’m so glad they cancelled that Indian inspired movie and 3D and 2D hybrid movie about shadows and made Peabody and Sherman instead.
Let’s give DW props for the good they do, but let’s not kid ourselves that everything they’ve done is high art.
@ma.2089, I haven’t seen Boss Baby but all of the other films you listed are good movies
@@ma.2089 It's okay to dislike things, but I don't think any that you mentioned are bad movies. From what I remember, Trolls did feel like it was made specifically for kids unlike movies such as Puss in Boots or How to train your dragon which feel like movies meant for kids but also other ages. However, as much as people like to meme about it, Trolls tackles some interesting topics in very creative ways. And, although it's very much a taste thing, I think the style of animation is absolutely gorgeous.
This style of animation was made popular by Spiderman into the Multiverse. This movie might not have been as stunning without Disney leading the way
I seriously cried when Perrito rested his chin on Puss In Boots. It was so sweet. Also, that whistle will haunt me forever
One thing I geeked out on Twitter recently is, whenever we hear Death's whistle, it's in A minor starting on the 7th (G B D), but the very last one we hear when he's leaving Puss to live his life, it changes to A major starting on the 1st (A C# E). Major keys are usually for happier, more light-hearted tunes, while minor keys are for darker, brooding, or sad tunes.
This comment brought to you by a huge music nerd.
EDIT: I've been corrected in that the first key is actually in G major; I assumed A minor given it's no flats or sharps signature. I studied music for 8 years, but dropped out of college prior to learning about "tonal center" and "juxtaposition of melody" or whatever the hell. Still, point stands: it changes at the end of the film, which is neat. Music is neat.
As someone with near perfect pitch, you're...somewhat correct. All his whistles are in a major key. I went back to listen to make sure I was right, and his first whistle is G major...buutttt you're correct that his last whistle is A major. Same tune, different key and tonal center. I say this because you say G B D but that is the outline of a G major chord, there's nothing 'minor' about it and the tonal center is 100% G. So it's more about the juxtaposition of a melody in a major key associated with the thing we all fear to some degree...but keeping it in a major key and raising it when we accept the inevitable. In many ways that more subtle powerful than doing the usual major v minor key.
When I was 17, I was hit by a car. It was the second time in my life. And it completely changed my perspective of life afterwards. I decided I'd stop being afraid of dying, and instead I would just live every day in a way that I'd be okay leaving off on. Being kind to everyone is one of those ways, but being kind to myself is bigger. I love that you guys touched on that fear being normal and using it to drive yourself rather than to hide
I saw this movie in an old theater. That moment when Death growls in Puss' face (26:30) the bass from his growl SHOOK THE THEATER. The panic attack initially sold me on this movie, but the intensity of Death in that moment brought me in to see the movie again. I echo Alan at 21:44. "I like movies that are good. More please."
I can’t even describe how much I love this movie. Death is the coolest interpretation of Death I’ve seen. The Panic Attack scene is so relatable but also it’s cool it’s in a kids movie. Anxiety doesn’t discriminate, even on age. I’ve had a couple panic disorder since I was young. Kids who have panic attacks can see it and relate. And the ART STYLE is beautiful.
What's even more mind blowing is that he's only in about 10 minutes of the movie and is only LITERALLY on screen for about 5.5 minutes... and yet he has such a huge impact on the movie.
So true. Kids media is often watered down and sugarcoated, afraid to touch on serious topics of mental health, mortality, and more. But kids do think about these things, they just don't understand it yet. Kids media should be offering more positive representation like this, to help them not only understand what they are going through and feel heard, but even to look for help and solutions when they saw none.
I was genuinely surprised by the Spiderverse-type animation and the added bleeps. This movie's story-telling was a lot better than I expected as well. I'm so so happy you chose to watch this! It's one of my favorite animated movies already!
Spiderverse was a real gas-up for animated movies
I miss 2D animation, but the painterly, 2D influenced 3D is honestly exceptional
I wanted to share this with Jonathan so BAD: My first panick attack fearing death was when I was 8 years old... I bawled LOUD and clear saying that I didn't want to die
My second was 1 years later
If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
@@MegaMew204 My beloved Granny died on the previous year of some mysterious lung disease so severe we didn't have time to diagnose it... only to stabilize its symptoms.
Thanks for asking 🙂
@@maryzinhaah I'm sorry to hear that... It's not easy losing Grandparents when you're younger. Thanks for sharing.
@@MegaMew204 thank you for being comprehensive 🥰
Before someone in an actually abusive relationship hears the commentary at 20:00 please do know that if you are in a legitimately off relationship and it's not just regular downs that could be overcome-- do actually distance and set boundaries from people who aren't good for you. I have been in therapy and have learned that just because I'm open and willing to change and yield tools for growth-- doesn't mean others will be willing to do so and accept accountability. Don't feel guilty for doing what is right for you. Being an adult isn't about learning how to settle for less.
Yeah I think their point is to be able to differentiate what is an actual toxic relationship and what is just regular ups and downs. Because if you treat a bad day as a sign that you need to leave your partner, that could be very bad.
@@AlyxxTheRat That is very true. I agree. Shortly after she notes how in modern day we've a lower tolerance for this stuff and cut off many people ultimately ending up alone. (I'm in there)
Yes, this. I also don't think that the epidemic of loneliness is because of what Emma described. I think it's much more complicated, deeper and widespread than "people have become too picky or selective." I see so so so many healthy messages about setting and having boundaries that were non-existent 20 years ago. If this means people spend less time in unhealthy situations overall, this is a *good* thing.
As someone who is currently in an abusive relationship, who had already done 10+ years of work to heal and cut off contact from abusive family of origin before entering into this relationship, I appreciate the wealth of messaging about setting boundaries and reminders about what I don't have to tolerate.
I love kitty's "that was the saddest funny story I've ever heard" remark to purrito bc as someone who grew up w childhood trauma I thought was normal I hear that exact thing all the time and I found it very relatable. 😅
What makes Perrito great to me is that he leaves an impact on others. And I don't mean the "therapy dog"- side of him that brings out the best in people, I mean how Puss and Kitty genuinely care about him. BEFORE he has really done a lot for them.
The "annoying sidekick" is often the one in movies/books that gets threatened or kidnapped by the antagonist. When that happens, two of the main heroes always have this type of conversation:
Character A: "Ohhh nooo, they have [annoying side character]!... Anyway, let's keep going!"
Character B: *Glares at character A*
Character A: *Sighs* "All right, let's go get [annoying side character]
In Puss In Boots, there wasn't a bit of hesitation or doubt when Perrito got kidnapped. Both Kitty and Puss went into protective mode, they were mortified and worried and would have given anything to get him back.
I always wondered why I should care about a comic relief character that not even the heroes like. But Perrito was a part of the family and he was so loved by our main protagonists.
Absolutely. He was played so straight and was delightful as a character while being funny and "annoying". He was one of the best examples of this archetype I have seen
Donkey was the worst, Perrito is most certainly the upgrade
Bit I love those cliché scenes....
@@Demonetization_Symbolcliche or classic 😉
Perrito is Puss and Kitty's adoptive child and no one can convince me otherwise 😂😂😂
2 therapy channels coming together to therapeutically analyze a movie is something that I'm living for. Especially the thought of "grieving" your past self.
It would be so cool for them to do Villain Therapy on all three antagonists: Death, Jack Horner, and Goldilocks. They all serve such specific and unique purposes in the story and are done so well.
I don't think Death needs a villain therapy. Death has always been Death, there is no conflict to resolve like Goldie and Jack Horner. He's just a collector, he arrives when your time comes. I think he's mentally the healthiest antagonist of the movie because of the very deliberate person he always has been. He's Death, straight up
@@yourpalbryan1442 fair point, and they already talked about him a great deal in this Puss-focused episode since he's essential to his arc.
it took reading this comment to realize that the movie has three villlains. Like, I knew all of them were villains but I never put it together that this is a 100 minute movie with three villains, and all of them work. That's incredibly hard to pull off (just think of Spiderman 3, which had a lot more time and still messed it up). Makes me like this movie even more.
@@DerMoerpler and actually it gets even better-this film managed to pull off a wide scope of antagonist/villain archetypes.
Jack Horner - 1-dimensional pure evil villain (chaotic evil) that is vindictive, cruel, and narcissistic (basically your classic Disney evil villain) who remains evil and faces dire consequences in the end. But he is fun, funny and effective against our heroes.
Death - 2-dimensionsal somewhat evil villain (lawful evil) that is menacing, dark and competent. I say somewhat evil because at the end of the day, he's doing his job as death. He's holding a mirror to Puss who doesn't value his life, so there is a poinant message behind his motivation. BUT there is a certain maliciousness to his character because he enjoys tormenting his targets and making "the chase" fun. Not to mention, he threatens to cut Puss's last life short before his "supposed time" basically to save himself the trouble and because he despises Puss. But in the end, he is fair. He lets Puss go for now to live out his life, because both of them know they will meet each other again (bone-chilling).
Goldilocks - 3-dimensional antagonist (chaotic neutral) that is sympathetic, loving, mischevious, a bit sadistic at times with a misguided motivation (she fits the mold of the redeemable, sympathetic villains we typically see today). I say anatgonist rather than villain because there is nothing in Goldi that is particularly evil; the only thing that makes her an antagonist is that she gets in the way of our heroes, which is the role of an antagonist. She is the one that receives the redemption arc in the end because she realizes her misguided intentions and does the right thing-appreciate the family she already has.
It's unbelievable that they managed to squeeze so much villain characterization in one film and at the same time, it did not feel overcrowded. Each one got the time they needed, and served their purpose. And what's really interesting is all of them are not only mirrors to our three heroes, but all of them teach different lessons surrounding the theme of the movie to "value life."
Many years ago, audiences wanted a Goldi character-villains that have a point and/or are sympathetic in some way-in response to the typical Jack character-classic pure villains that are evil for the sake of being evil. But it seems today's media has overcorrected where you always have redeemable villains, or no villains at all. They wanted a Jack Horner back. This movie gave us that and more, with the addition of Death who is somewhere in between.
Goes to show that all three can work depending on their execution and the story you are trying to tell :)
All the villains in this movie are my favourite villains of all time (so far, so don’t come after me unless your favourite villain is Hans from Frozen or something)
I’m personally going through a period of existential dread of death that literally keeps me awake at night, so this movie means so much to me. I’ve seen it SO MANY times and it always says new things to me. I’m currently living as Puss in the retirement home, so this movie is really trying to call me out, lol. The anxiety attack makes me SOB.
you just need to calm down
then face him
prayer of faith
Live your life, Puss. Live it well. Beautiful. We can all fill in our names here. Thank you, Emma. Wonderful collaboration. Nice meeting the guys of Cinema Therapy.
Thanks for watching! 😊
I love when Puss first faces Death, his eyes are reflected on Deaths sickles, but by the final fight its Deaths eyes...a reflection of facing his fear and growth as a character. Its the small details like this that make this movie so good!
Wow, nice catch!
This movie has so many reversal mirrors-the eyes, the "pick it up", how/when he loses his hat/sword, the silhouette usage, the key change in Death's whistle...
I feel stupid for not noticing this.
and it also serves as a parallel! the last wish has a ton of them and i love it so much
The fact that a movie about Spanish-speaking cats felt more human than any of the human characters in Lightyear, Strange World and Velma speaks volumes.
Yup
Velma?
Really?
@@littlegiantj8761 Yes. Velma. Especially how they portrayed Velma's supposedly panic attack scenes and how they handled it. As a person who has had panic attacks since I was 13, you cannot calm someone dealing with a panic attack by kissing them. It would make it even worse or can turn fatal. I was literally enraged at how Mindy Kaling chose to view psychologists and guidance counselors as weak-minded people, an NPC or even the jobs they partake in as an unworthy cause.
@@GatlingPea32 No, I'm just surprised you picked the absolute worst example of how to handle *anything*, for that matter
@@littlegiantj8761 ig they chose based on the character having a panic attack. Not much of the show in general.
they didn’t have to add in literal cat elements to the characters but they did and i LOVE them for that.
I think my favorite thing about Perrito in the panic attack scene is that he’s actually using a real therapy dog technique called deep pressure therapy, which works very similar to how a weighted blanket would. It shows a bit of character development for him, because when he mentions the fact that he wants to be a therapy dog, he’s convinced that people will feel better if they rub his belly. In that scene however, he knows that that’s not what Puss needs, so he makes adjustments to his technique in order to best help his friend. From a writing standpoint, it’s an excellent piece of subtle character development.
17:26 I love Puss' outraged "Who?!" Like he's offended that Kitty was (or he thought she was) implying he loved some other woman.
Totally agree that Kitty had to be capping, to spare Puss's feelings. She was so angry about the wedding in the beginning, but she was so nonchalant about it after overhearing Puss's conversation with Perrito.
Kitty doesn't strike me as the type to lie to spare a person's feelings. Kitty is a deceiver by nature, but she tends to open up to those who manage to break down her walls. Like when she shared her troubles with Perrito at the river because she sympathized with him or when she talked about getting declawed to Puss in the first film. Declawed cats can become more defensive, since they're stripped of their primary natural defense and I don't think was as broken up about Santa Coloma than she wanted Puss to believe. When he saw trying to steal the map too, Puss kept acting like he could win her over in spite of what happened. Kitty was likely responding in a way that would quash any hopes he had of trying to pull the wool from over her eyes, since from my observations a lot of her defensiveness in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" was a reaction to Puss trying to take the map from her.
@@ThePrincessCH kitty attacked Puss before she even knew what was going on. And then got angry when she realized it was Puss. So I don’t think you’re right there.
She probably was very hurt, but not cuz he left her at the alter. Rather, she felt bad cuz he never explained what happened. Once she knew why he backed out, she could either be ready to lie to make him feel better or tell the truth since she doesn’t care if they’re married or not. She only cares that she can trust him.
@@ma.2089 I felt like what happened at the beginning was kind of obvious, the two were competing for the same score like in the first film. Kitty and Puss are both thieves by trade, not to mention she was hiding inside the chest that he unlocked, and it's not like they can split the reward. Also, Kitty only brought up Santa Coloma a couple of times, and their banter for the most part of the film was actually pretty playful.
@@ThePrincessCH She's also someone who has a hard time with emotional vulnerability. I think she lied about not being there, but less to spare Puss's feelings, and more so that she didn't have to hear him apologize and share that vulnerable moment. She basically cuts him off just when he's leading up to one
@@TheEnigmaticKasai Except the art book also confirms her statement and if she's lying the film has done very little to confirm it.
I loved this movie with a passion. So glad that you guys did it.
Hope you enjoy the episode just as much!
On a separate note, regarding those who think that Kitty didn't show up at the wedding, here are my thoughts on why I think she absolutely did show up:
1) She spends the first half of the movie clearly being pissed at Puss for something, and by the way that he grabbed her by the tail, it's clear that they know each other more than simple acquaintances (hinting at a deeper relationship)
2. From seeing how she double-crossed Goldi and the bears, we know that she's more than willing to lie if she seems it necessary
3. Kitty's wish, as shown by the map, is all about companionship, so why wouldn't she show up at the wedding (as marriage is often seen as the ultimate companionship)
4. She overhears Puss tall about Santa Caloma with Perrito and how much he regrets it
5. If she didn't show up, how would she know that Puss didn't show up (i.e. being left at the altar implies that you're at the altar in the first place)
6. If she didn't show up, wouldn't that make her a bit of a hypocrite, and thus lessen the severity of Puss' wrongdoing?
Which then leads me to why she would lie about not showing up
1. She is helping Puss not to wallow in self-loathing, since she can already see that he's sorry
2. She's making the point about why would she want to show up for "that guy" (i.e. Puss' narcissistic legendary self), and acknowledging how much she's seen him change
I hope this is a sufficient explanation for that particular sequence, because that seems to be where most people are confused with this movie.
Either way, this movie is still amazing 😍😁😍
@@g.d.graham2446 Respectfully, I disagree. While I see your points why she did show up I think there is still a gray area. Your argument for that seems to be based on "how did she know tho?" which is valid but there could be plenty of explanations that just weren't explored in depth.
1. Maybe she was intending on going but realized that Puss was getting cold feet. That could have made her realize "I'm not going to show up because he's not going to show up".
2. She could have heard from another source (the pastor? the guests? someone else?) that Puss didn't show up either.
3. Kitty maybe wasn't even mad about it in the first place. Obviously they hadn't talked since before the wedding. Maybe she was more mad about being abandoned and never talked to since over the wedding.
I'll also add that canonically Kitty isn't really the type to do things simply to make people feel better. She lies. She offers compassion. She doesn't seem like the type to truly hide how something impacted her though. She hid her wish but she didn't hide her inital anger or attempt to hide her pain when Puss left her and Pietro. In my opinion, Kitty seems more likely to have comforted Puss by not including the bit she didn't show up if she truly didn't. She probably would have simply gone "Hey it's fine. I know I couldn't actually compete with your one true love anyway." She didn't need to lie so why would she have? I'm not saying your interpretation of how she acts is wrong, I think it's still on point. It's just not how I view her. While it wouldn't have been like her to lie in that context, she could have very well pushed that aside to comfort her old partner.
There's too many variables is what it boils down too. That's why I think there's no correct answer. I think it's meant to be up to the viewer. It was so vague and the story doesn't change significantly either viewpoint. I'd say that if that's how you chose to interpret the story, that's great. I think that it isn't an argument though against the other side because it's just as significant.
@@CinemaTherapyShow love your Lilo and Stitch Quiet Place and this one can you guys do one for the Cars movies?
As an extreme black and white thinker, hearing that it’s okay to just feel whatever feeling is coming, or just knowing that if you feel guilt or sadness or anxiety around a person who you care about once in a while, it’s okay, you don’t need to just leave them because not everything will be good.
Yeah, nothing in life is ever gonna be good all the time. The real question is whether it’s worth it. Take it from me; I married the literal man of my dreams, but mental health and financial struggles have rudely intruded on our little Heaven more than once. Nothing is ever gonna be perfect all the time. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be worth fighting for.
I have always felt that the old saying: "The one who hides in bed dies anyway" sums up the need in all of us to not fear death (or failure, or pain) to go out there and live our best life.
I saw this in theaters with two siblings also in their 20's and when I say that the Death whistle in surround sound made all of us nervous, it's the truth. I went thinking it was gonna be an over done kids movie, but now it's one of my favorites. Thank you for finally doing this video.
I LOVED this movie. Not for just the message, but the ART STYLE. The action shots are so cool and fun, a really nice twist on normal 3D animation.
The animation is so cool!
there were also so many references to anime in the animation and i loved that so much
I love how Puss was saved by the gatito blade given to him by Kitty, kind of symbolic how his grown relationship with her and Perrito is what saved him in the end
As someone with pretty bad anxiety I was an absolute mess during the panic attack scene because I just related so hard. I love this movie so much
@Allie Capell - I have never had a panic attack, but I have had an anxiety attack and when they portrayed in the film is what that felt like.
Honestly, my favorite part about the panic attack scene isn't the fact it's just so accurate, but more of the fact that they don't play it off as a joke. They take it seriously, and they never use it as a punchline. And that is amazing.
YES.
Also, I don’t know what time it brought me to, but it brought me to a time where I had a very similar experience. And that is amazing.
The death reveal scene is one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen, like it is absolutely perfect. Death comes across as insanely terrifying, from the framing, to the directing to the voice acting. This is puss in boots 2, nobody expects this movie to try, and yet it’s working so hard!
His first scene he just appears. No intro, no buildup. He's just there. And then you can go back and realize that he is in the background for each of his 8 deaths (I think). Death comes on all of us with no warning.
Last Wish is aimed at children, yet treats panic attacks more accurately than Velma, which is supposedly an adult animation. The Velma writers could learn a thing or two from Puss in Boots!
No use. "Adult" in western animation means "Sex, violence, drugs, asshole characters. Now laught". Kinda ironic, it ends up coming out like something an edgy preteen made while PG-13 stuff ends up more mature and realistic but it's the sad truth
Imagine them actually watching that scene and think they have learned a thing or two from it and they just fuck up their attempts even more for their show
Can we kindly stop saying this movie is aimed at children when the entire message is something EVERYONE goes through and is one of the most crucial, natural aspects of every human being's life?
The only reason this movie is PG is because Dreamworks likely isn't allowed to up their rating due to reputation, etc. But they sure as heck pushed the limit, and this is one of those movies that deserves to be considered a story for _everyone_ . Not just kids.
It's animation, it's a story, it's an insanely relatable lesson and plot-line with so much reality check mixed into that I can't bring myself to call this a "kid's film".
There is no way the people who made this movie created it with only children in mind.
Some people can't mentally separate "animation" and "made for children" unless the animation happens to make bad sex jokes twice a minute.
@@alyssabullock6421 It’s not a kids film. It’s an “everybody” film. My 5 year old daughter LOVES this movie and sings that “Favorite Fearless Hero” song all the time. She thinks the “Grim Reaper Wolf” finished off Big Jack off screen. And my husband isn’t a movie person, much less so for animation, and this is the only thing he will watch with us aside from Bluey. And Bluey is the only thing outside of the news and crime dramas that he will watch.
I can't believe you didn't start with Death's introduction... the fight, the fact that Puss got touched by an enemy's blade for the first time, his first fear.... So. Damned. Good.
When I saw that panic attack scene from Puss I cried, and I haven’t cried that hard for a movie in such a long time. It was so accurate to REAL panic attacks, even down to Perrito comforting him, cause my dog does the same thing when I’m having one. Basically broke down with how represented I felt, shout-out to Dreakworks for genuinely putting in good work for the movie☺️
That panic scene still makes me cry its so real and so reminiscent i was so surprised they were able to portray it to such accuracy
They really did a great job.
When my daughter started therapy I mentioned that she had been having panic attacks, and she argued that she hadn't. After we watched this she was ready to admit that she'd had panic attacks.
That’s awesome that watching this helped her possibly feel seen! I’ve only seen the one panic attack clip and I felt very seen just from that clip alone!
This movie was a diamond in the rough of children's movies last year. I was absolutely stunned that they managed to cover topics like anxiety, adopted families, and death as well as they did. I'm so glad that y'all watched it as well!
Edit: love to see the other person copy my comment 🫠
I went to see this movie on the day of my 26th birthday. I felt a little silly, admitting that is genuinely what I wanted to do with my time, but I had heard praise for its depiction of a panic attack. I've been stuck in constant terror mode for the last 9 years, and this movie had me sobbing. I knew it would have a panic attack in it, but I didn't know the entire movie would be about fear! It could not have come at a more perfect time in my life. It's absolutely in my list of all time favorites now. It's rare to find a movie that hits heartfelt, action, comedy, with a bit of horror AND be gorgeous all at once.
I really liked the message behind this movie. It's great to teach kids what it means to be afraid, how to get through it, and that it's okey! Also the animation?? The bomb!
Totally agree!
I'm 18 years old. I've been dealing with anxiety since I was 12 years old, maybe earlier. This movie has made me cry so many times just because of how real the representation of a panic attack is. I remember my first panic attack which is what I believe to be the final switch for my developing clinical anxiety disorder. I remember my heart beating. I remember feeling like I couldn't get enough air no matter how deeply or quickly I breathed. I had no idea what was happening to me. It felt like the back of my neck was being drenched in red hot magma. I couldn't stand, I couldn't really even move. I was shaking and having these uncomfortable involuntary full body spasms, to the point where my mom who is a nurse told me it looked almost like a granmal seizure (if that's how it's spelt). One of the scary things about it was that I had no control over my own body and I was panicing for a reason I didn't think I should have been panicing for. The worst part about it was my mind. The first thought I had when it started was "oh my god I'm dying". Many people disregard or underestimate panic attacks as something minor. I can tell you it isn't. I have and always will describe a panic attack as torture because that's what it is. I may not have been bruised, scraped, or cut, but a real panic attack is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. When Puss ran through the forest and collapsed against a tree, wide eyed, panting, his heart beating so hard he couldn't hear anything, because he was feeling a way he refused to believe he should be feeling, I cried. I don't often cry, but I did for this. I truely felt like "oh my god, someone understands". Now for the most part my panic attacks last about an hour where I can't move, and there was one that lasted a full week (I was honestly ready to do something I'd regret just to make it stop) but even just seeing a quick few minutes of panic from this animated cat made me feel like it really wasn't just me. I'm so happy to have a movie like this. Anxiety isn't something minor to be scoffed at. It's a mental illness and it's serious. I hope because of this and people like you speaking on this that more people will recognise what people like me have to go through.
27:23 You can tell Jono and Alan are best friends when literally their legs are in sync
I've been waiting for y'all to react to this movie for like 5-6 months, the wait was totally worth it😭😭😭
Thanks for your patience! Hope you enjoy the episode!
"Say hello to my Gatito Blade!" Was cutely symbolic. She helped him fight death. ❤
And it's a small nod to "Say hello to my little friend!" from scarface hahah
Didn't expect this movie to be covered in the channel. One of the best animation movies of all time! Definitely gonna enjoy this session
I'd expected them to do this since that since where puss had a heart attack.
@@sagemaster1357 panic attack, not a heart attack. You can't heal a heart attack by interacting with a therapy dog or smth 😅
@@ShipperTrash My mistake 😅
The Goldie and Bears arc is also interesting for its found family/adoption vs. the idea she has of her "real" family (that she eventually gives up).
I think the burial scene was also just an awesome "death of ego" thing, it was just the initial start of his path to having some ego death and letting go of this idea he had of himself that just wasnt working for him anymore.
This movie was such a pleasant surprise. I loved the first Puss in Boots, but this one blew it out the water. It hit so many deep elements. The anxiety scenes were so well done. I cried multiple times watching this. It just hit to close to home ❤
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The panic attack scene makes me cry every time. It's so real and so good.
Imo, the most important part of making a good major side character that also serves as a comic relief is to not only have their jokes be funny, but to also give them personality and a good role in the story outside of just being funny. And the writing for Perrito is an excellent example of that. I thought I was gonna dislike him, but he ended up becoming one of my favorite Shrek characters.
I love how at first deaths whistle is terrifying and crawling at your spine giving you chills, then after puss fights death the whistle simply sounds beautiful instead. At least for me ❤
What i love about the "gatito blade" is that it makes puss fights with death in a closer range.
And that's what's his journey is about!
I saw this in theaters five times and so this is absolutely the episode that I have been anticipating the most!
So will you be watching the episode five times? 😂
@@CinemaTherapyShow 5 times or even more!
@@thehopeofeden597 good answer 😂
The movie is just that good. I saw it theaters three times and have no regrets
So, I'm gonna say a theory about Perrito that I've seen a while ago:
The whole map of his trail to the Star is actually full of unalive and death concepts.
English is not my first language, but from wat I understood the place "Pocket Full o'posies" is about a part of a nursery rhyme, and it's a flower that plague doctors put on deceased patients. "The River of Relaxation" could be about the River of Styx, the afterlife. "The Field of Quick and Easy Solutions", another unalive concept to end the suffering "the easy way".
I don't think Perrito is clueless about his surroundings, and just like you said I think that's his way of coping to not have unalive thoughts. People always say that people who smile more are the ones who need more help.
I agree. He seems naive but the there are the moments such as the panic attack where he realizes when something is bad. He recognizes puss’s distress, he recognizes how leaving Kitty at the alter was a bad thing, he is scared of Jack Horner. He recognizes bad things but chooses to cope with them by looking at the good things no matter how small or ridiculous they seem. He also jokes about how badly he was treated which I’ve seen in a lot of people with low self esteem. His jokes such as the “funny story” and his insult game with the bears are examples of him poking fun at himself.
perrito is my spirit animal fr, except i'm less funny lol
@meiK well thanks for calling me out 😆
A comment a saw on another review of this movie mention how Perrito says to Goldie "From one orphan to another, you hit the orphan lottery"
He knows he's an orphan, and he's still happy.
also
I LOVE the anime influenced style of things. It's great for me to see western animation being influences by such a popular animated story telling medium
I really love how El Perito doesn't get excited about his chance to be a real therapy dog. No, "this is my moment." Just empathy and compassion and quiet purpose. He would deserve it if he did, but I think it's so significant and meaningful that he's not thinking about himself at all in that moment. It's okay to think of yourself, but there's a wholesome goodness in genuinely putting others first, so long as it's not instead of yourself.
My Eulogy:
"Who?"
Dreams and goals are what makes us happy. It's important to enjoy journey, but we also need to be something to try for.
Puss is lucky to be in an American movie. in Italy cats only have seven lives.
I used to be so afraid of death as a kid. My anxiety was really high, but I then found Ask A Mortician. As I learned more about death, I grew less afraid. Now, I'm proud to call myself a deathling.
Knew y'all were gonna be covering this one when Puss had a panic attack. Very happy I caught it so quickly.
I had panic attacks when I was in the hospital. I had been in an accident and was in the icu, I was so scared at night and there was nothing I could do. My nurses helped me by giving me these warm blankets they had, they were really thick and heavy and just made my heartbeat slow down.
I’ve been hospitalized many times so I feel you.
When he talks about being stuck in a sock and thrown into the water, it reminds me of how I felt when Olaf got impaled in Frozen and was so blaise about it.
I cried like a baby with every second of this movie, i’m in a moment of my life where I feel afraid always, I can’t sleep, I can’t do a lot of stuff I used to do before and this movie reflected the sensation perfectly.
Chihuahuas were actually considered to have healing powers by the Aztecs and would basically act as hot water bottles. My chi-mix definitely helps bring my anxiety down.
I started crying the first time I saw the panic attack scene, especially when Perrito is just trying to calm him down but doesn’t understand. More people need to see this movie.
I think I like this movie so much because a hero who many people looked up to as kids who was fearless and just a cool character in general is relatable. So many people have anxiety (myself included) and seeing a “fearless” hero have a panic attack just hits me right in the feels
I was a "hero" to myself. These days I'm like puss in boots. What Kitty says speaks to me as someone who has lost pride and lost integrity.
It took me this long to watch this movie, and man, I knew I needed to watch it this entire time, but man, am I sad I waited this long.
As someone who loves folklore, I ADORE Death's depiction here, though he's a bit tsundere.
Death is, quite literally, like the other fairytale characters, the folklore representation of death. Every SINGLE civilization that has ever walked the earth has a folklore personification of death, and Muerte here carries a lot of them in him. The cloak, Scythes, the skull on his face, the fact he's a wolf, the figure with red eyes, the whistling in the distance.
But that's the important thing to note, he's ALL the folklore versions of death, which it's important to ask yourself what awaits at the end of your life? The warm embrace of Death. Warm, not cold. Death embraces us all, equally, as equals, and as friends. That's all death is, an old friend reminding you, from the day you meet, "please, live a life worth living" because if you haven't you will run from him, but if you have, then you know that you have a warm hug to look forward to. "Greeting Death with open arms"
All I can say is wow.
Thank you so much for making this video, and especially for covering the panic attack scene in particular! I have severe anxiety, and that scene spoke so strongly to me that I cried when I first watched The Last Wish. I still cry every time I rewatch that scene because it’s so accurate, and it doesn’t portray having a panic attack as something that you need to “just get over it,” or as some weird light and sound show that is far from how a panic attack really feels. I love how you guys broke down the process of having a panic attack and what really helps to calm you down from one. Again, thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for sharing and thanks for watching! ❤️
That panic attack scene had me bawling my eyes out 😭 Ive recently started having panic attacks after like a year of not having one, and this scene just broke me😭😭💀
The panic attack scene is actually my favorite in this movie. As a person with clinical depression and generalized anxiety, panic attacks and anxiety episodes used to be exceedingly common for me. Small tasks like getting ready or going into work used to make me feel like my legs were stone and that the world was caving in on me. The scene emulates that feeling of distressed helplessness perfectly, and the moment of clarity for Puss is very real (at least to me) because I’ve been in that spot so many times. Thankfully, I’m doing incredibly better now and am high functioning again.
I will say this for those like me: the solution you’re looking for may not be the one you need. For me, I ended up discovering I was over medicated, and it was making everything worse. I ended up throwing most of them away, I went from 11 medications to 4. PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID, CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE STOPPING ANY MEDICATION. I was lucky enough not to have any side effects because the main depression medicine I was on was compensated in it’s absence because I was taking another pill from the same family. Your solution is out there, and if you think you’re at a dead end and don’t know what to do next, then talk to someone. Hell, I’ll happily respond to this message if you need a helping hand. Stay strong everyone. Thank you Cinema Therapy for what you do. ❤
EDIT: Fun Fact! Muerte said "Why the hell did I play with my food?" When he was cursing to himself at the end of his and Puss' battle.
This movie was so damn good!! they didn't have to go so hard but I really respect that they did
The Goo Goo Dolls have a song called “So Alive” and one of the lyrics, and it’s one of my all time favorites, is “Never gonna live, if you’re too scared to die”
