The suave and debonair “Puss” has been hard done by and is determined to clear his name of a scurrilous conviction that has shaken him to his very boots - but that’s no easy task, especially when he manages to get himself embroiled with “Kitty Softpaws” and his erstwhile pal “Humpty” who was responsible for most of his troubles in the first place. It’s the latter egg who wants to retrieve the elusive magic beans that will enable them to shoot up the beanstalk and retrieve the golden goose. Simples? Well no, not really, because there’s a load of baggage between these three and the menacing “Jack” and “Jill” - think Bonnie & Clyde, only nastier - are also on the trail of these magic pulses. It’s now a race to the top as “Puss” hopes to prove his innocence and maybe there can be a reconciliation too? This is a stylishly put together animation with loads of character, mischief and some quite witty dialogue as the fables are effortlessly mixed together, disregarding the bits that aren’t so convenient for this energetic plot. As origin stories go, this is good fun as it spares us any sentimentality and just entertains. I enjoyed this.

Love puss in boots. It was kind of weird that humpty dumpty was in the movie though. Still very good movie and very funny.
