What to Know

Critics Consensus

It isn't deep or groundbreaking, but what it lacks in profundity, Puss in Boots more than makes up for with an abundance of wit, visual sparkle, and effervescent charm.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Puss in Boots kind of surprised me. Far more witty then I expected it to be, nicely animated and featuring a charming story of forgiveness and redemption that belies its Shrek inspired fractured fairy tale roots, this movie more than won me over. Rated: 3/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard What kids will get from it is plenty of fairly outrageous but not often witty fun with fairytale elements blended into a kind of latterday spaghetti western. For the rest of us, there is plenty of nice visual detail. Rated: 3/5 Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It's all amiable stuff, with a perfectly decent script, and the feline hero lapping his milk gets an indulgent laugh. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2011 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The laughs are mostly derived from situational comedy, making it more universal than Shrek's pop-culture-heavy referential skits. Rated: 8/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Surprisingly, it's one of the animated highlights of 2011. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 20, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) As an origin tale, it is a sharp and sophisticated piece of storytelling.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review David C Está muy bien echa la historia es entretenida y es una buena película animada Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $149,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review TROYS S “Puss in Boots” is a very charming and funny little animated swashbuckler. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Curve 3 TS IS TUFF VRO 🥶🥶🥶 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Daniel S He Came. He Purred. He Conquered Puss in Boots takes a beloved side character from a tired franchise and spins him into a surprisingly rich, stylish, and emotionally layered solo adventure. With a backstory full of betrayal, a Zorro-inspired charm voiced perfectly by Antonio Banderas, and a plot that juggles humor, heart, and heists, this film proves it has more than just nine lives.. it has legs for a franchise of its own. Packed with clever fairy-tale subversions, dynamic action, and subtle innuendo, it’s a genuinely entertaining watch for both kids and adults. This isn’t just a cash-grab spin-off; it’s a witty, well-crafted tale with its own soul. Recommended. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
