Hi The ends of the first one is a story trope about good luck and good fortune. I like that in the first ending best because those stories acknowlege the random and sometimes unfair or a-moral ways events can unfold. P.s. I keep clicking the like button but it unclicks and won't stay clicked even after several tries. I am not a bot. Any suggestions?
Jon Solo Please do some expanded Fables Explained episodes on The Three Little Pigs, The Pied Piper, The Frog Prince, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel, etc.!
Hey Jon, we are big fans of your work! Thanks for helping me find these cool stores for my kids. My oldest did fan art of you falling into your books and she explained the ABCs to me So thanks for that lol
I always thought the moral of "Puss in Boots" was "Don't judge a book by its cover," due to the master's presupposition of the cat's relative uselessness.
Personally, I think the moral ought to be, "Appreciate the gifts you're given. They could prove to be more valuable than you can imagine." After all, the protagonist thought the cat to be the most useless inheritance, and he despaired over not being given something better. And yet, despite how it seemed, the cat proved to be the most valuable inheritance he could have asked for. Or maybe the moral is just, "Cats rock!" Who knows?
So basically with the first one the moral of the story is that no matter if it was a few hundred years ago or in the modern day, Puss is always a damn good wingman
@@potatoeskween9834 no, here were two animals, the cat and the fox, that helped these men become rich and powerful. Then, when the men had what they desired, didn't treat the animals well. In the cat's case, the man promised to keep her by his side, even after her death and when she pretended to be dead, the man was just going to cast her body aside. Even worse for the fox, the man killed her - or him.
As a kid, I read a Finnish version of "Puss in Boots" called "Mighty Mikko". The essential story is almost identical to the better-known version, except that both Mikko's parents die, he has no siblings, and his inheritance is a set of traps. He catches a fox in one of the traps, takes it home and treats it well, and the fox helps him out of gratitude. It gets Mikko into the King's good graces through a series of favors, and instead of an ogre, the fox takes the castle from a dragon, called "The Wyrm".
@@justuraveragecunt9005 You'd have to take that up with whoever translated the version of the story I read into English. They're the ones that gave the dragon's proper name as "the Wyrm". I only read the story, I didn't write it or translate it.
When I was a child and read this story I always thought the moral of the story is never underestimate the smallest creatures and their natural talent, a cat is cunning, also don't complain about your inheritance, it might be the a greater gift than first thought.
The Ogre was evil, he ate people, had killed the original owner of the castle, and was enslaving the people on "his" land. All Puss did was con a king, lie, threaten the townspeople, kill some rabbits, and defeat an evil ogre. He is a thief and an outlaw after all.
@@youtubeuseri57 nope I had WebKinz too lol! Me and my first step brother had some webkinz, he was the one who first started collecting them, I was 9 and he was 7.
the funniest thing about the puss in boots story is if you picture a real cat wearing boots walking, in case you dont know, cats walk really weird if you put something on their feet
i like how in the puss in boots movies you not only have puss, there's also kitty softpaws so its kinda like having both versions of the cats in the stories appear in the movies
I was thinking the same thing! Their both similar stories. Especially how kitty had trouble trusting people after being _betrayed_ multiple times. Dreamworks really put so much effort into these films. 😍
I've honestly seen the story as a warning not to underestimate people (or in this case, a cat). The dude thinks his cat is just food but the cat manages to get him a wife, fancy royal title, and castle.
The moral of the story is if your cat randomly starts talking to you about making you rich and actually follows through, it's probably a magical being with powers beyond comprehension and it's best not to piss those off.
This was hands-down one of the BEST Fables Explained we’ve had in a long time. It was extra interesting because of how relatively obscure the story of Puss in Boots is. So well researched and funny too! Keep up the awesome work!
Well the true moral is something a lot of people miss including me, I had to ask my teacher in school when we learned this story. The moral is : Things you get from your inheritance are not always worthless. Basically be happy with what you get from your parents because it might have worth beyond its face value.
I'm thinking the cat playing dead might be related to the "9 lives" myth that also runs throughout myth and legend. I recently learned that the Egyptian cat-goddess Bastet, and the fact that cats under her protection would enter burning homes to rescue their chosen humans is also involved. Your videos really are captivating, Jon!
Well, he didn't explicitly say that that's how that story played out. He kind of glossed over the particular events of that one. We can assume that it played out in a similar manner, but the fox may not have killed an ogre.
My guess could be, the fox, was in telling mode, caught the fox off-guard, and killed at the last second. The fox not expecting a hard and/or heavy, glass jar. This, would have killed the fox head on.
I'd like to imagine that kitty's origins would be taken from Gagliuso's irritation of the ca.t not only its a female this time but it also explains why she has so much trust issues and easily falls into conclusions and all the fuss about "I just wanted someone to trust" as her wish wishing. The church incident and the declawing can be one of them but I believe the biggest reason why she lost trust in everyone is because she was stabbed in the back by the one she helped a while back (mc). I don't know how DreamWorks would do it and who will be the mc but I believe she'd tell people to lie by threatening that she'll steal their remaining fortunes with her soft paws without them knowing and her vengeance will be so huge the Mc dies at the end like every other Shrek film
Despite the questionable morality, I still consider this one of my favorites, if for no other reason than the cat's cunning and willingness to help his master.
Personally I always thought the moral was “If your cat can talk and asks you to get him a pair of boots, I’d listen if I were you.” Lol, but more seriously the trope of listening to helpful magical animals such as foxes or cats.
I don't know the main age group your channel attracts, but I imagine relatively young... As a grown up lady who appreciates geeking out.. You do an amazing job telling the tales and I really dig how you're sort of.. Expanding and digging deeper with the archetypes and stuff. Well made videos that aren't boring. Just enough hip slang etc. Nice work, bud.
Its crazy to me, because i had forgotten all about the original story of the puss and boots until the guy started narrating the story again. The whole memory of it came back out of no where
@@BatmanReturns92 I wouldn't even be surprised if they did that too, especially after designing Mr. Wolf, Diane Foxington, and Death. At this point, Dreamworks is like a money vacuum for furries. A new fox character would just increase their revenue stream.
I always saw Puss being the protagonist of this tale instead of his master, and hence the morale of the story being a common one in tales that it is best to be clever over all else. If the master is the protagonist then the moral is of course that his kindness in not eating/selling etc his cat in the beginning pays off.
It wasn't until I started watching these videos, I learned about the index used to classified fairy tails and fables. Which is just awesome to learn about. ^^
My mom read me the ogre variant as a kid (and a few of the “older” versions of fairytales). And I did indeed like it. First it was unique, a can was the main character, and I was just fascinated my stories that a slight horror element. Since Puss was the main character, I was focused on this cat using his brains to give HIMSELF a better life and not be eaten or tossed out. Also, I think the book mentioned that the ogre was terrorizing the people in the kingdom he owned? So I took it as ‘justice’ being served, or at least that a kingdom’s leader should be run by someone that’s fair to the people.
I wonder if the Gagliuso version was what inspired Kitty Softpaws from the Puss in Boots movies, since they are both female cats wearing boots that were betrayed by their owner
A small addition I will add in regards to the "moral" is how the owner did put faith in his cat, even going so far as to buy him clothes. After knowing that shoes were kinda pricey back then, and knowing that he received nothing from his inheritance that would help him get shoes for the cat, giving his cat shoes *is* kind've a big leap of faith. Someone smarter than I can probably interpret this detail better, but that's a tiny nugget of a moral there. Have faith in your companions.
I remember seeing a version where outside the ogre's castle (except in this version he was an evil sorcerer, and not an ogre), there was also a frog who said she was actually a kitten, and as soon as the sorcerer is dead, she changes back into herself and marries Puss. Not too surprised you didn't mention that in any of the stories you talked about. Must have been something that was added in that version.
Kinda cool to learn that Disney making their giant a shape-shifter was originally an ogre ability. Even had Mickey try to do the same trick as Puss. Nice little homage, I guess I figured they just came up with that scene to pad out the feature length runtime since Jack and the Beanstalk is so short.
This made me feel so nostalgic. My dad used to read the story to me all the time, he pronounced "Carabas" with the emphasis on the "bas" and with the same A sound as in the other syllables. I watch your videos since the beginning, or at least the series since the beginning, and I've noticed how I heard the original (or at least the closest to those) versions growing up. I now question my parents' parenting methods cause... Wow. What stories to tell to a kiddo hahaha.
Judging from what Puss has done before, I know for a fact he could’ve killed Shrek if he really wanted to. Especially considering he can take down actual giants and fight death himself lol
I would definitely like to hear more animal helper fables! Also, I think secretly, the real moral of the story is; animals have been helping and serving humans for thousands of years, and yet we often treat them like garbage, lesser, and a tool that is replaceable. This isn't so much true any more, as now most peoples animals are pets, not workers, but it used to be very true. Maybe not so much a moral, but an awareness message.
I noticed a bit of Mickey and The Beanstalk took inspiration from this story. Willy the Giant had the shape shifting abilities. Mickey tried killing the giant in a similar fashion to the ogre. Mickey’s plan was to trick Willy into becoming a fly, so he could kill him with a fly swatter, but his plan backfired.
Your explanation around 13:00-14:00 reminds me of that time a young lady posed as a socialite as an experiment for the better part of a month before her cover was blown. She did a whole presentation over it and everything. Same song and dance; new performers, ya know?
I think maybe the first story was the base for puss in boots, but the third one could be the inspiration for kitty soft paws, being that her owner almost threw her out the window after she had “died” it could be the base for her trust issues in the newer movie
Jon is like the cat. He is amazing for what he does and tries to help us who watch these videos. Even if he doesn't get the credit, he is the best person ever
I love your commentary so much! I have since introduced your channel to my 90 yr old mom who happens to be sight impaired and her life is audio books. OMG she laughed and loves you. Her only comment was how fast you talk. LOL. Doesn't take away from her enjoyment at all, but I often stop the video to catch her up on what she's missed. Keep up the amazing work. As said by myself and my amazing mom!
My grandfather used to tell me this tale and it was my favorite, now since the modern puss in boots its nice to get a refresh of this masterpiece and it s origins
I was eating when I logged onto youtube, and when I saw the notification, I swallowed my food wrong and choked I was so excited, Puss in boots was one of my favorite characters when I was little.
I always thought the moral of the story was "Don't forget your friends on your way up in life. They are the ones who not only helped get you there, but also remember how you were as you started."
Thank you for explaining the whole shoe thing. Helps me to understand why any royal would give a damn about some rando giving them dead animal gifts. Let alone be cool with a talking, bipedal cat...😐 Great episode! This was dope! In the future, based on this episode & other episodes, I'd love to see a comparison series, with folktales and stories from all over the world!
I love how much more comfortable you are talking to the camera than you were when the Chanel was new :) I enjoy the sass lol (One of your first subscribers)
Things people say while high "Ah yes, my cat is very good at tricking mice, and it just talked to me, let me go get some boots and a bag for it. Sounds legit"
I had built a library for my children, before we were made homeless, most of the books were lost but I managed to keep hold of a collection of traditional tales, the master cat is in there, might be under a different title and possibly a retelling but has always been one of their faves!
The DreamWorks version of the character of "Puss in Boots" is quite unique his characteristic was inspired by Three heroic characters from other films media including Zorro, Jack Sparrow, and Indiana Jones.

@@geschnitztekiste4111 I'm talking about the Mickey Mouse version that was featured in the movie Fun & Fancy Free.
Your explanation around 13:00-14:00 reminds me of that time a young lady posed as a socialite as an experiment for the better part of a month before her cover was blown. She did a whole presentation over it and everything.
Same song and dance; new performers, ya know?
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE YOU GAVE THE TEASER!!
I think maybe the first story was the base for puss in boots, but the third one could be the inspiration for kitty soft paws, being that her owner almost threw her out the window after she had “died” it could be the base for her trust issues in the newer movie
Jon is like the cat. He is amazing for what he does and tries to help us who watch these videos. Even if he doesn't get the credit, he is the best person ever
the first story is literaly just ''WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE FEARLESS WINGMAN!''
Lol! Jon...you always crack me up!!!! 9:25 Moral of the story....."Be The Ultimate Bro.".... 😂😂😂😂 Love you! Keep doing you! ❤😊💖
Jon. Please make an updated version of this video!!! Puss in boots: the last wish was greatest animated film of 2022!!!
Lit video bro. You could say the video was "PUURRRRRR-fect".
Stop. Just go before you start a catastrophe.
That was paw-sitively awful and I'm going to ask you to paw-lease stop.
That was a purr-fectly good joke
These jokes are all cringey, ok?
Reminds me of Catwoman from the 1960s-Batman show.(Chuckle!)
Guess that would explain why he’s being stalked by a scary wolf that wants him dead in Last Wish
WOOHOO!! This is my favourite story! You’re doing great Jon!
I love your commentary so much! I have since introduced your channel to my 90 yr old mom who happens to be sight impaired and her life is audio books. OMG she laughed and loves you. Her only comment was how fast you talk. LOL. Doesn't take away from her enjoyment at all, but I often stop the video to catch her up on what she's missed. Keep up the amazing work. As said by myself and my amazing mom!
11:05 Can I just say that I love this illustration? So stylish and fun! And a very elaborate speech/though bubble equivalent!
My grandfather used to tell me this tale and it was my favorite, now since the modern puss in boots its nice to get a refresh of this masterpiece and it s origins
moral of the story be clever like a cat get your friends rich and you also become rich
This came out so long ago but it’s really cool how much of these stories are put into Puss and Kitty in the Last Wish
I was eating when I logged onto youtube, and when I saw the notification, I swallowed my food wrong and choked I was so excited, Puss in boots was one of my favorite characters when I was little.
Glad your alive though lol, hate when that happens
I always thought the moral of the story was "Don't forget your friends on your way up in life. They are the ones who not only helped get you there, but also remember how you were as you started."
Thank you for explaining the whole shoe thing. Helps me to understand why any royal would give a damn about some rando giving them dead animal gifts. Let alone be cool with a talking, bipedal cat...😐
Great episode! This was dope!
In the future, based on this episode & other episodes, I'd love to see a comparison series, with folktales and stories from all over the world!
the original Master cat story is the one my parents told me, i have acualy never heard the newer versions.
Puss in boots is one of my favorite fairy tales, thank you so much for this video 😄
Who's seeing this for the first time after Last Wish?
Love your vids so much binge watching messed up origins
this was a really well done and informative video. thank you for doing all of the research and putting this together
I love how much more comfortable you are talking to the camera than you were when the Chanel was new :) I enjoy the sass lol
(One of your first subscribers)
The moral of the story could be “appreciate what you have, it can be more valuable than you think”
I lovw this channel i read fox and the hound book it was so so dark
What's fox and the hound book?
The disney film of fox and the hound was based off a book called fox and the hound book by Daniel p mannix. Its darker than the disney film
@@DeerFox13 oh yeah now i remember it but i don't know yet about the real story...thanks.
@@mersedehm.h1525 he has a video on the origins
Puss after killing the Ogre: Who is your favorite, fearless HERO? Who is your favorite HEROOOOO?!!!
Things people say while high
"Ah yes, my cat is very good at tricking mice, and it just talked to me, let me go get some boots and a bag for it. Sounds legit"
so shrek 2 is actualy somehow puss in boots origin. he helped shrek look handsome and trick the king to marry him to the princess. XD
Yes please!!!! I would LOVE more messed up origins from different tale types!!!!😍😍
This kinda explains Kitty Softpaws’ lack of trust between the 2 films.
I had built a library for my children, before we were made homeless, most of the books were lost but I managed to keep hold of a collection of traditional tales, the master cat is in there, might be under a different title and possibly a retelling but has always been one of their faves!
The DreamWorks version of the character of "Puss in Boots" is quite unique his characteristic was inspired by Three heroic characters from other films media including Zorro, Jack Sparrow, and Indiana Jones.
Who is your favorite fearless hero ?
🎶Who's brave and ready for trouble?
(You are, you are!)
Ha ha!
Who's so unbelievably humble!
(You are, you are!)
🎶Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro?
Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro?
I don’t think every literature needs a moral, even kids books. sometimes, it’s fine just to have fun nothing more.
i think basile's version might be inspiration for kitty soft paws, just an idea
12:31 that cat was like "I’m gonna end this whole man’s career"
The female cat is kinda like Kitty Softpaws from The Puss movies.
The dang moral of these stories is "Be kind to animals," of course.
As a cat lover I really, really liked this video!
Me who grew up reading old story books which are now underneath my bed: *I’m four parallel universes ahead of you*
Can you do the princess and the pea messed up origin
@@breezythaprof thankssss
I think he did already just look through his videos.
Hey hanna PALESTINE
@@wjsnsupremacist2741 I am a Hebrew Israelite I know what my name is.. I am not bothering you so don't bother me
