How did the monkey know?
Fat Grandma strikes me as the sort of no-nonense lady who turns out to be the evil mastermind in a paranormal, found footage movie.
Did anyone notice how no character got long hair? This is why the princess’s hair is short, not any form of innovation in the slightest.
The ogre does look closer to how they are usually portrayed in art (apparently it seems like the word “ogre” derives from french for “hungarian”, so I guess it makes sense they are a bit more human).
And this movie ruined greensleeves for me. Ech.
Long hair tends to have a lot of clipping issues in video games. Maybe the animators were having similar problems.
Indeed, it’s just that with an animated film you can control the flow frame by frame, they just couldn’t be arsed about it. Same reason why there isn’t much in terms of flowing fabrics.
I can only imagine what the Queen must be thinking: “hey villagers, bring your kids. let’s barbecue them. mwahahahahaha!”
also, I think the castle would more than likely be run by Drayton Sawyer than Leatherface. “No secret, it’s the meat. Don’t skimp on the meat. I’ve got a real good eye for prime meat. Runs in the family.”
The part about lying being a good thing is pretty accurate to the original story. Puss In Boots is pretty much a con man who lies, threatens, and steals his way to a happy ending.
Which makes it not a very good children’s story. Unless, you look at it more about intentions, which still might not work out (at least in the movie’s case).
Did this movie have any original music? From what I’ve seen from both Netflix and this review, all of it seems to be public domain classical tunes.
William Shatner sould never play a talking cat?! again. Great review guys, the crossovers are fun. Also, I agree that the CA jokes aren’t that tbad, you don’t seem too bitter and it’s great you still get along with the folks from there.
You’ve also inspired me to start working on doing my own review videos.
I’m surprised you guys are able to make it past these 2-part reviews of crappy movies with really shitty GC animation.
I should really try the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Oreos, ’cause I love Oreos and I love Reese’s PB cups.
With the title character being a literal scaredy cat, they should have called this movie “Pussy Boots.”
If I want a movie about cannibalism, I’ll stick with those featuring Hannibal Lector, thank you very much.
11:35- This explains why we never had a nerdy teenage boy as a leading character in DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots, …and why the title character doesn’t act like a convicted pedofile in said movie.
Puss didn’t give the ogre the swan candy, because he wanted this movie to go longer. Fuck that pussy.
I’ll take Shatner singing Rocketman over this movie any day of the week.
Man, I hope there’s a bloopers video. If it’s anything like the Foodfight one it would be a riot!
You’ve got to marvel at how bad Shatner is at doing a cartoon voice.
I mean, seriously.
Take the Puss gibberish at the beginning of this video & lay it over footage of Captain Kirk talking, then show it as a joke nominee for Best Acting at some awards show. Great April Fool’s joke.
Reeces eh? My uncle would LOVE those Oreos.
That monkey turned the Blue Danube into the Blue Fukyou.
Princess: “Your little brother can keep our horrible chamberlain company.”
Chamberlain: “Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!”
Cleavage for the kiddies.
Marquis of Carob Ass.
Carefull with that Evil Stick, Phelous. It might attract Nazgul.
Michelle, ma belle. Sunday monkey won’t play piano song. Tres bien ensemble. I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see…..
Is Catner Singing a credible form of torture? & would you believe he released an album of Christmas music? It’s so bad. Oh, & you gotta hear him sing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” & “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
I didn’t care much for this review, but that might be because I found the actual film to be excruciatingly painful (especially Bill CATner). Seemed like instead of jokes all your reactions were pretty much “Oh yeah, that’s right” Busey style. And that’s not a complaint because it was a trio crossover, since I loved your Food-Fight video. Also next time you do a French movie could you give Benzaie and Panda larger cameos. Miss those guys making vids…in English.
William Shatner has a AMAZING voice, I can tell he didn’t really want to do this.. But why did it have to be so bad?!
D:
just to point out this movie came out two years before DreamWorks Puss in boots but by the time it came out Shrek 2 had already been a thing so yeah it cashes in on that and that alone. also if cinema Brad and Lupa are ever with you again please review Kiara the BRAVE (the way it’s put on the cover is a hint at what they were cashing in on) while yes it came out before brave It came out after it had been announced and I don’t trust Imdb enough on this one
Funny thing is that it really has nothing to do with Brave. It was mostly the work of the marketing team. Kiara isn’t even the central character in the actual movie.
The thing i don’t understand is why you cast Shatner to voice a character the same age as the teenage protagonist. I mean, even if Shatner did an ok job instead of whatever he did in this film it still wouldn’t have made any sense.
I have seen movies like this in stores lately, where top name actors end up voicing like rather bad or really bad CGI movies. I saw one with Sean Connery in I guess original CGI movie, but not really sure.
Great review and always do like the crossover with Lupa and Brad. I was hoping for a Sonic joke when Puss was running fast in those boots, nice to see that actually happen. You might want to beware of Fat Grandma in boots, who knows what she will do.
Cannibalistic French people? Benzai? Is this really a Humains review? Gotta love this super crossovers, and special guests? Phelous, you’re spoiling us! Add in Beauty’s dad and creepy horny Winnie the Pooh sounds and you have an instant classic! MY GAWD!!! Thanks Phelous…… thankssssssssss….. (seriously i miss all the old puns and jokes) in conclusion: Soooooooo? whaaaat?
Also, what’s wrong with grinding people up and eating them? my family’s been doing that for generations! about turning them in the footwear thats cruel I don’t care for it! by the way, I wonder if that drunk queen is single. we can get by her being make believe and animated. she’s got good taste lol
You know, this film reminded me of another French to English dubbed trainwreck, Doogal.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0763304/
I don’t think I have ever seen an animated film with voice actors who gave less of a fuck than in Doogal. Then again, considering how godawful the the American script was is I guess I can’t be shocked. It also had an interesting back story, as Doogal is the US rewriting and re-dubbing of a film called The Magic Roundabout based on the BBC television series of the same name. I can’t really attest to the quality of the UK version but its has a higher rating on IMDB so it appears to be a rare case of dubbing making a so-so film into a godawful train-wreck.
I’ve seen the original Magic Roundabout. Interesting show. It’s also worth noting that in the British version of the movie, the villain is voiced by the great Tom Baker. The US version gets…Jon Stewart! Who id great on the Daily Show but, let’s face it Tom makes a betyter villain.
Also they spelled Doogal phonotically for the US crowd. The name is actually *Dougal*, a fine Scottish name. But if most Americans saw that, they’d pronounce it ‘Doug-al’. That’s my reasoning for why it’s spelled so goofy.
I’n Stripetiger the Pedantic, I get pedantic so you don’t have to, or something.
And holy Celestia did I typo that last post a lot. I’M THE BEST!:)
Stripestiger, THE GREATEST TYPOIST EVER!!!
Could not resist, and I know what you mean with Jon Stewart there to, as he really does lack the ability to be a good villain. Personally, I would much rather have Tim Curry play that role or maybe SIRO THE GREATEST CHARACTER EVER.
I save all of my typos for ChaosD1.
Tis iz y al cites ned EDIT butin thet duznt expir aftar 5 menits.
In the original story, the cat pulls the ‘Marquis of Carabas’ scam almost entirely by himself (but still on his master’s behalf), and all of the other characters in the story just sort of roll with whatever he tells them. Not that I can blame them; if I ever ran into an actual talking cat that walked around in a fancy pair of boots, and he said that his master was the Marquis of Carabas, I’d probably just shrug my shoulders and think, “sure, why not?”
Random Idea I had for a video, The Simpsons Watch to Boldly Flee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxAkIiDj7_s. Nothing major, but maybe you can get a couple of cheap laughs out of it.
William Shattner, no! You’re above this!
(… well that’s not something I thought I’d ever say)
The frog could have kept his mouth close…he was forcing him self to open wide..then he close his mourh. Could have the food bounce off his face even if it huts. It like the cat is drunk but not. How can the cat be taken serious with that voice.
That was… an astonishly bad movie! I can only assume Shatner probably did it for an fairly easy paycheck (one can’t imagine that it required a great deal of time on his part, since one can’t imagine the voice direction was very intensive…)
Still, I suppose at least the CGI wasn’t… utterly terrible…? I mean, the character design style was… questionable, but unlike Food Fight – or some of the other cGI knock-off Phelous has reviewed of late, it at least looked sort of textured and finished, at least. (Though, despite it being for obvious technical reasons, the short-haired princess was actually novel – I kinda liked it, actually. *shurg* Stoped clock and all that, maybe?)
Cameos galore! Nice to see Benzaie and Sad Panda.
And… As for Fat Grandma…
I’m sorry guys, I really am – I am a terrible person – but she was the funniest part of the review. Not that the rest of you weren’t as funny as you all always are… but there’s something about Fat Grandma (and her foil in Linkara) that always reduces me to absolute hysterics.
(I think she was the most hilarious thing to come out of you videos, as truly sad as that probably makes me…!)
(And kudos to Lewis as well, for always jumping in with such panache when she’s called for!)
Food fight review way better
A lot of cartoon voiceovers tend to suck. so. much! (I’m looking at you, Stooges!) For old guys who could be funny in the live-action wraparounds (your opinion may vary), but compare their voices there to the cartoons. A total night and day difference.
As for Shatner, his live-action hamming is hysterical. His cartoon/CGI hamming? Uh, well…I’m sure it was easy, and an easy paycheck, but come on! You were in Roger Corman’s only money-loser, Shame! You were brilliant in that! (I know, apples to oranges, but still!)
Love Fat Grandma–she’s what Tyler Perry’s Madea should be. Funny.
This was hilarious! I was really missing your movie reviews.
Where does Puss go – careerwise – after all of this? Does he find other people to ‘help’? Does he write his memoirs? Does he suffer a fatal accident because he “knows too much”?
Hm, this song at 18:43… Is it Greensleeves? And why does Anno 1602 springs to my mind right now?
I think i’m getting old.
Speaking of foreign animated films made to cash in to the success of other properties, you should either review Blue Seagull, a 1994 South Korean knock-off of City Hunter, the anime well known for having arguably the greatest ending theme of all time (Get Wild), about some man’s quest to get back an ancient sword and some shenanigans ensue (you can get it here: http://www.yesasia.com/us/blue-seagull-dvd-korea-version/1004867314-0-0-0-en/info.html) or anything made by Kim Cheong Ki (the creator Robot Taekwon V/Voltar the Invincible) such as Space Gundam V, Solar 123, and Gold Wing 123/Gold Wing.
