PUSS IN BOOTS (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Puss in Boots—delightfully offers something new throughout its 90 minutes—completely earns its right as a permanent addition to the family home video library. The animation is very good. The story sustains itself throughout with deeply developed characters who are not only likable, but fun to watch. The adventure undertaken surprises because it is unusual and piques interest. The voice casting department did an outstanding job with the picks of Antonio Banderas as Puss, Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws, and Zach Galifianakis as Humpy Alexander Dumpty. This movie is completely re-watchable with high ability to entertain.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. Good entertainment for the whole family. There are some sexual innuendos, but these would be caught by an adult and they do not detract from the enjoyment of the movie.
