Watch The True Story of Puss 'n Boots For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Just to make things clear, as has been indicated already, 'The True Story of Puss n Boots' is not a rip-off of the DreamWorks film 'Puss in Boots' as it has been mistaken to be. Not only is it clear from the advertising that the quality is vastly inferior to even the lesser DreamWorks efforts and has a different title, it also came out two years before 'Puss in Boots'.The title itself is misleading somewhat. This is not the true story of 'Puss in Boots', nor is it a particularly faithful adaptation. It feels more like an independent effort. Right now, 'The True Story of Puss n Boots' will be judged on its own terms, and, while there are worse animated films, it is very poor quality and as said in the review summary kitten litter is more appealing in comparison (and in reality kitten litter looks and smells horrible).Its least bad asset is the music, as music itself it has moments, when it isn't inappropriately dark and discordant, when it is characterful, nicely orchestrated and has its charms. It's the way it's performed that's the problem, with the princess' singing being some of the most painful that can be found anywhere in any media and even in life.Everything else is executed disastrously. The animation has a few nice details but this is wasted by flat colours, static movement, sparse and less than meticulous backgrounds, haphazard editing and especially hideous and unintentionally creepy character designs. The script constantly sounds awkward and is inconsistent tonally, with scarily grotesque darker elements that juxtapose abruptly and jarringly with childish humour that will make even younger children wince and over-the-top and poorly animated action.Story-wise, 'The True Story of Puss n Boots' fares the most problematically. The original story itself is a simple and easily digestible one, the story here is the complete opposite. Children and adults will find it hard to follow and there is no heart and charm to be found anywhere, it's just all mean-spirited and ugly. Things happen too randomly for no reason, lots of pointless things happen, a lot feels underdeveloped or unresolved, structurally it's all very disorganised and some of the characters appear at random and disappear just like that for no reasons given. The modernised elements are very out of place here when there was no attempt to update everything else.On top of looking hideous, none of the characters have likable personalities and are either dull (most), irritating (the title character and the princess) or useless (the Ogre). The voice acting is poor, William Shatner on paper sounded like he would be completely wrong and it is exactly that effect here. Shatner is one of the hammiest actors ever to exist and he brings no subtlety or charm whatsoever, making for the single most annoying Puss ever and one of the most obnoxious in animation perhaps. The princess similarly irritates while the rest either overact or phone it in, disconcertingly too the queen constantly sounds drunk.In conclusion, very bad. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I saw this movie on a DVD that contains 4 movies. I never watched all of them, I only watched 2 and they were all crappy. The True Story of Puss'n'Boots was one of them.Unlike the other movie ( Legend of the Sea ) it was the "boring" kind of bad. Seriously ! The're more cons than pros for this movie PROS : + Has a little bit of character development CONS : - All the characters are annoying ! Especially the cat, the monkey, the chamberlain and the queen.It is too unrealistically looking to be called THE TRUE STORY of Puss'n'Boots - Doesn't catch at all the spirit of the original fairy tale. This is the biggest example that I can get. The ogre transformations True Story The Movie Lion and mouse Squid and duck My rating : a 3 out of 10 don't watch it

I was disappointed to find out that I didn't get to see Puss In Boots but I decided to give it a chance anyway because I love fairy tales. I was curious to see what the makers of this movie had done with the original story of Puss In Boots. The characters look horrible and the music is awful. The princess annoyed me from the first moment when she started to sing and dance because she's not very good at either and I couldn't stop staring at her giant hips. The king sleeps all the time and might as well not have been there and the queen sounds like a drunken Roseanne Barr throughout the entire movie. The interaction between the villain and his helper was meant to be funny I guess in an Igor/evil doctor sort of way but it completely fails at it. As for the story; that really disappointed me as well. I had hoped it would be more like the original fairytale. Why are there palm trees, a parrot and ostriches when the story is set in northern Europe? In the original fairytale the ogre is a giant who is a powerful sorcerer and the cat tricks him into changing himself into a mouse so he can eat him and free the people from its evil. I think it's an important part of the story which has completely disappeared in the movie. Perhaps it works better in French but I highly doubt it.

"It's a trap!" -Admiral Ackbar- The same could be spoken of this film. Whenever a great film is released, or even just anticipated, anyone with the ability to churn our their own knockoff is going to release their dumbed-down version so as to capitalize on the success or hype of the original. The True Story of Puss in Boots is one such film.While I'm quite the plot, if you wish to call it that, differs quite widely from Dreamworks upcoming film, the cover was way to much like the Dreamworks cover to make me think that this film being released about the same time was mere coincidence. The film makers knew you would get this by accident, thinking you were getting the American made film staring Antonio Banderas...and so did Redbox. Hence, why I want my dollar back.The characters in this film are just awful, and the American dubbed voice acting does them no justice (Shatner sounds like Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy) there is your pop-obsessed princess, an obese king, a drunk queen, your demon-clown chamberlain (who I am convinced was supposed to be the court jester in the French version) and for some reason an ogre who seems to be more along the lines of Cthulhu.The plot makes no sense, and I will not even attempt to walk you through it. I got bored after 15 minutes and just completely lost track of what was going on.I don't fault the French for trying to trick us into getting this film. What I do fault them for is deliberately messing up a story that originated in their country far worse than any American hack could. The blame for tricking us lies with Redbox for trying to pass this abomination off as the Dreamworks film we actually wanted to see. If you're reading this review, it is likely because you fell for the trap as I did. In that case, I can only offer my condolences. In the off-chance someone reads this before renting this film, do not get it!
