Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
There are very few animated films that I dare to see, worth the redundancy, the truth is that they have to call my attention to give them a chance, I know it's a mistake given the immense quality behind them but it has always been like that. The thing is that when we talk about the universe of Shrek everything changes because for me, along with Toy Story, is the top that there is and has been in history and even more with a character as endearing as it is the cat in boots being the protagonist of this film. I came with high expectations, another big mistake, but without having seen it I knew that the quality was going to be very high and friends, so it was, I already tell you that we are facing a marvel of cinema.
But there is something I have to confess. I am one of those people who watch ALL movies in the original language but with the animated ones I don't know why I have the tendency to change that and watch them in Latin Spanish and with this story we fell back into that practice. The reality is that I did it to better appreciate the work of Antonio Banderas, in English he does an incredible job but I think the "peak" is to listen to him in his native language. Was this a risk? - It's possible because I'm missing the work of Florence Pugh, Salma Hayek, Olivia Colman, etc, but fortunately in Latin Spanish it's also quite enjoyable so I feel I didn't waste my time. Having said all this let's talk a little bit about this great animated movie.
Our tough and peculiar cat, played by Antonio Banderas, as always is from adventure to adventure without fear of anything and the word "fearful" does not exist in his vocabulary, hence in most cases he dodges death in very dangerous and risky ways. But these imprudences will soon take their toll on him, since he will realize that out of his nine lives he has consumed eight, so his very existence is in serious and grave danger. This makes him have to make a decision, one that could be his last adventure but also one that could be the door that allows him to live a peaceful and carefree life.
The point is that thanks to this adventure he will discover more important things, this trip will be like a kind of apprenticeship in which he will meet new friends, he will realize the mistakes of his past and what to do to remedy them and thus achieve remedy what he is looking for; in fact it is like a very introspective adventure where I'm sure each of us at some point in the story we will feel identified. And that's what this film has, that within its undeniable comedy always has some very powerful and well achieved messages that no matter how old you are will always be useful and will have a nice effect. Puss in Boots is without a doubt one of the best animated films I have seen in many years.
I want to start with what caught my attention the most, the animation. The change we see since the first film back in 2011 or since the beginnings of Shrek in the early 2000's is gigantic and abysmal. The experience of watching this film is incredible because the level of detail, the cinematography, the use of slow motion or simply when the action increases the speed are things that leave you spellbound in front of the screen, I tell you that it is very difficult to take your eyes off it because it is a product that is well worth seeing. And that has always been the detail that makes me not to see these movies many times, but here the work of Dreamworks is impeccable, I feel that in this aspect there is nothing negative to say. You know what my thermometer is? - The facial expressions and here you can't get any more realistic.
The second thing is the plot. It is one where the feeling of friendship, what it means to have a family, the unconditional support that can mean having someone by your side and what is the true value of living a full life are part of 90% of it, the whole story revolves around these elements and that does not make it more boring or cheesy, On the contrary, because all this is joined by a desire for adventure that goes hand in hand with super entertaining battles and confrontations and in the end the result is an impressive plot, simple but that meets all the requirements to consider it very worth seeing.
And the last aspect that I want to highlight that at least to me I found very good were all the winks and references to elements and characters already known; a magic carpet, the context of King Midas, Goldilocks and the three bears, actually there are several more and one of the characters is intended to be a master of magic so some of the things you see with him are quite striking. When a story is filled with things that generally do not belong to the universe of the film but that provide content and looks good is something that should be highlighted, it may not seem like a big deal to many but personally I found it very cool to see, I think it gives a little depth to the story and makes it more colorful and interesting.
As for the characters, the Cat is incredible and even more incredible as Antonio Banderas has already made this character his own. It is complicated to talk about something animated but what can be said is that the intensity and feeling that Banderas injects is unique, impressive how through the voice and animation a character can convey so much and that is where the real magic of dubbing is. Reckless, adventurous but more human than many, with a very solid and honest heart. And the second one I want to talk about is "Perrito", yes, that's his name. He is the most sensitive and touching side of the film. He's one of those characters that may be a little cheesy but without being annoying, he's that personality that we all wish we had by our side. An important pillar in the plot so pay attention to him.
I don't want to talk about this hooded character but he is very top, I feel that the whole final message of the film revolves around him and what he represents. Anyway, a splendid film, one of the best in its class for everything we find in it, animation, characters, story, teachings, plot, everything, it has it all. A well deserved 9/10, it is something that everyone should see if or if, I assure you that it will not leave anyone indifferent. It has a duration of just over an hour and a half. I leave the trailer below.
