This was the first time I saw Puss 'n Boots, and I liked it. Shrek is better yes, but I appreciated the little nod between these movies. Haven't seen the DreamWorks version yet, but when I do it'll be nice to know where it came from. As for this movie, just goes to show anyone can do anything.

What range Christopher Walken has! Ever watch his SNL comedy? Yeah, he's a song & dance man--and was perfect as Puss in Boots! So clever, witty, charming, with subtle catlike mannerisms, like cleaning his moustache regularly. Sean Connery's kid in this too! Wow. Great fairy tale movie, with some Shrek undertones, but this ogre was a real meanie & deserved to be a mousie by subterfuge--haha. Walken was a joy to watch throughout. And the fairytale love story along with it--cartoon carriage & chorus of wig-headed nobility--all very Gilbert & Sullivan. I thought it a real hoot--and go figure 1988! Great children & family piece--a real delight! Thx hulu!
