Puss in Boots

I know it's really late to suddenly discuss this movie, but I never saw it until just now.
I remember when this came out I didn't pay it any attention because knowing this character was from one of the Shrek sequels I had thought it was just a continuation of that series, which I hadn't cared to follow past the original movie. I didn't realize until rather recently that this was actually its own completely separate thing. When I did learn that I looked into it a little and thought it seemed like it might be fun, so I decided I would give it a try if the opportunity to watch it came along sometime.
A few days ago I noticed that it's currently free to stream on YouTube Movies, I assume because of the sequel coming out, so I watched it last night.
I actually loved this! I can't believe I've slept on this movie all these years!
The humor, gags that are dumb silly but in a good way, is completely my style. Plus recurring jokes related to the character being a cat, and various fairy tale jokes and references; I really liked it all and it got genuine laughs out of me more than a couple times. I also thought the story was pretty good, and really enjoyed the world aesthetic of Zorro style adventure in a 1600s era Spain setting with many Spaghetti Western vibes also thrown in. There was also some fun anachronistic technology, and it even briefly became a Godzilla style monster movie at the very end. Honestly, it's like this was specifically made for me. Everything about it made it into something I would just thoroughly enjoy.

Rights stuff, I'm sure. It might be on one of the streaming services I have access to. Right now I'm just trying to keep up with all the Christmas movies on TV!
