While

hosting
10:15
a
10:15
party
10:15
in
10:15
the
10:15
town
10:15
of

Del

10:16

and

outlaw
10:18
Puss
10:18
in
10:19
Boots
10:19
accidentally
10:20
awakens
10:21
a
10:21
sleeping
10:21
giant.
10:22
He
10:22
subdues
10:23
the
10:23
creature,
10:23
but
10:24
is
10:24
crushed
10:24
by
10:24
a
10:24
bell.
10:26
Waking
10:26
up
10:26
in
10:26
a
10:26
hospital,
10:27
the
10:27
town
10:27
doctor
10:28
informs
10:28
him
10:29
that
10:29
he
10:29
has
10:29
lost
10:30
eight
10:30
of
10:30
his
10:31
nine
10:31
lives
10:32
and
10:32
suggests
10:33
Push
10:33
should
10:33
retire.
10:35
That
10:35
night
10:35
in
10:35
a
10:35
bar,
10:35
Puss
10:36
meets
10:36
a
10:36
black
10:37
hooded
10:37
wolf
10:38
who
10:38
disarms
10:38
and
10:39
wounds
10:39
him
10:39
in
10:39
a
10:39
sword
10:40
fight.
10:40
And
10:40
Puss
10:41
is
10:41
scared
10:41
for
10:42
the
10:42
first
10:42
time
10:42
in
10:43
his
10:43
life.
10:44
Traumatized,
10:45
he
10:45
flees
10:45
to
10:46
the
10:46
house
10:46
of
10:46
cat
10:47
lady
10:47
Mama
10:47
Luna
10:48
and
10:48
meets
10:49
optimistic
10:49
Chihuahua
10:50
Perrito.
10:51
But
10:51
Puss
10:52
becomes
10:52
isolated
10:53
and
10:53
depressed.
10:54
Goldilocks
10:55
and
10:55
the
10:55
three
10:56
Bears
10:56
crime
10:56
family
10:57
arrive
10:57
at
10:57
Mama
10:58
Luna's
10:58
to
10:58
hire
10:59
Puss
10:59
to
10:59
find
11:00
the
11:00
wishing
11:00
star.
11:01
And
11:01
Puss
11:02
decides
11:02
to
11:02
use
11:02
the
11:03
star
11:03
to
11:03
restore
11:04
his
11:04
lost
11:04
lives.
11:05
But
11:05

11:05
the
11:06
while,
11:06
the
11:06
personification
11:07
of
11:07
death
11:08
is

11:58
in

Boots.
11:59
The
11:59
Last
11:59
Wish
11:59
really
12:00
didn't
12:00
need
12:00
to
12:00
go
12:01
very
12:01
hard.
12:01
It
12:02
could
12:02
have
12:02
just
12:02
been
12:02
your
12:03
run
12:03
of
12:03
the
12:03
mill
12:03
animated
12:04
Shrek
12:05
verse
12:05
movie.
12:06
But
12:06
I'd
12:06
wager
12:07
this
12:07
is
12:08
the
12:08
best
12:08
movie
12:09
of
12:09
the
12:09
entire
12:10
Shrek
12:10
verse,
12:11
if
12:11
not
12:11
the
12:11
whole
12:12
studio.
12:12
But
12:13
first,
12:13
let
12:14
me
12:14
tell
12:14
you
12:14
a
12:14
story.
12:15
Once
12:15
Upon
12:16
a
12:16
Time.
12:16
That
12:17
was
12:17
a
12:17
podcast.
12:18
I'm
12:18
kidding.
12:19
But
12:19
anyway,
12:20
the
12:20
last
12:21
episode
12:21
was
12:21
an
12:22
all
12:22
dogs
12:22
go
12:22
to
12:22
Heaven
12:23
where
12:23
a
12:24
dog
12:24
who's
12:24
a
12:24
bit
12:25
of
12:25
a
12:25
scoundrel,
12:25
let's
12:26
be
12:26
honest,
12:26
is
12:27
ultimately
12:27
redeemed
12:28
by
12:28
being
12:28
decent
12:29
for
12:29
a
12:29
change
12:30
and
12:30
ends
12:30
up
12:30
in
12:30
heaven.
12:32
It
12:32
wasn't
12:32
my
12:32
intention
12:33
to
12:33
go
12:33
from
12:34
dogs
12:34
to
12:34
cats
12:35
and
12:35
continue
12:36
to
12:36
talk
12:36
about
12:36
mortality.
12:37
To
12:37
be
12:37
honest,
12:38
I
12:38
just
12:39
wanted
12:39
to
12:39
talk
12:39
about
12:39
this
12:40
movie.
12:40
It
12:41
just
12:41
so
12:41
happens
12:41
that
12:42
death
12:42
is
12:42
a
12:42
character
12:43
in
12:43
both
12:44
and
12:44
this
12:44
time
12:45
very
12:46
literally.
12:47
But
12:47
let's
12:48
talk
12:48
about
12:48
Puss
12:48
in
12:48
Boots.
12:49
Puss
12:50
first
12:50
appeared
12:50
in
12:50
Shrek
12:51
2
12:52
as
12:52
the
12:52
standout
12:53
side
12:53
character
12:54
in
12:54
that
12:54
movie,
12:55
and
12:55
he
12:55
brought
12:55
about
12:56
a
12:56
whole
12:56
new
12:56
set
12:56
of
12:57
challenges
12:57
for
12:57
Shrek
12:58
2.
12:58
The
12:59
original
12:59
inspiration
13:00
for
13:00
the
13:00
character
13:01
was
13:01
Shrek
13:01
2
13:02
director
13:02
Andrew
13:03
Adamson's
13:03
cat,
13:04
who
13:04
was
13:04
grey.
13:05
But
13:05
having
13:06
a
13:06
grey
13:06
cat
13:07
next
13:07
to
13:07
a
13:07
grey
13:08
donkey
13:08
wouldn't
13:08
work.
13:09
So
13:09
Puss
13:10
was
13:10
instead

23:06
Inspiration
23:06
for
23:06
death
23:07
as
23:07
a
23:08
wolf
23:08
came
23:09
from
23:09
the
23:10
Brothers
23:10
Grimm
23:10
as
23:11
wolves
23:11
were
23:12
used
23:12
in
23:13
those
23:13
stories
23:13
to
23:14
depict
23:14
fear.
23:15
Other
23:16
inspiration
23:16
from
23:17
this
23:17
movie
23:17
came
23:18
from
23:18
spaghetti
23:19
westerns
23:19
and
23:20
films
23:20
of

23:21
Heidi
23:22
Jo
23:23
Gilbert,
23:23
head
23:24
of
23:24
Story,
23:24
cites
23:25
the
23:25
Good,
23:26
the
23:26
Bad
23:27
and
23:27
the
23:28
Ugly
23:28
and
23:28
Once
23:29
Upon
23:29
a
23:30
Time
23:30
in
23:31
the
23:31
west
23:32
as
23:32
major
23:32
influences,
23:33
especially
23:33
in
23:34
moments
23:34
where
23:35
Puss
23:35
faces
23:35
the
23:36
wolf
23:36
and
23:37
his
23:37
own
23:38
fears
23:38
of
23:39
death.
23:39
Even
23:39
the
23:40
wolf's
23:40
whistle
23:41
was
23:41
like
23:42
the
23:42
traditional
23:43
Western
23:43
harmonica
23:43
sound
23:44
that
23:44
you
23:45
hear
23:45
in
23:46
those
23:46
films.
23:46
The
23:47
sort
23:48
of
23:48
whistle
23:49
that
23:49
makes
23:50
Puss
23:50
freeze
23:50
on
23:51
the
23:51
spot,
23:52
instinctively
23:52
know
23:53
where
23:53
the
23:54
wolf
23:54
is
23:54
and
23:55
his
23:55
demeanoursombrechanges
23:56
fromconfidencetopurefear.
23:58
Unlike
23:59
other
24:00
music
24:00
that
24:01
represents
24:01
death,
24:01
which
24:02
is
24:02
usually
24:03
in
24:03
a
24:04
minor
24:04
key
24:05
to
24:05
reflect
24:05
the
24:06
somber
24:06
topic,
24:07
Death's
24:07
whistle
24:08
in
24:08
this
24:08
movie
24:09
is
24:09
at
24:10
a
24:10
major
24:11
key
24:11
which
24:12
makes
24:12
it
24:12
sound
24:13
almost
24:13
happy,
24:14
like
24:14
he's
24:15
trying
24:15
to
24:16
mock
24:16
Puss,
24:16
which
24:17
we
24:17
know
24:18
he
24:18
is.
24:19
Now,
24:19
obviously
24:19
this
24:20
film's
24:20
design
24:21
can
24:21
be
24:22
attributed
24:22
to
24:23
into
24:23
the
24:23
Spider
24:24
verse
24:24
and
24:25
how
24:25
that
24:26
movie
24:26
revolutionized
24:27
how
24:27
animation
24:27
could
24:28
be
24:28
depicted.
24:29
And
24:30
while
24:30
that
24:30
movie
24:31
was
24:31
a
24:32
literal
24:32
moving
24:33
comic
24:33
book,
24:34
this
24:34
one
24:34
would
24:35
be
24:35
a
24:36
moving
24:36
storybook
24:37
illustration.
24:37
Some
24:38
of
24:38
the
24:38
concept
24:39
art
24:39
for
24:40
the
24:40
movie
24:41
was
24:41
based
24:41
on
24:42
Painting
24:42
by
24:43
19th
24:43
century
24:44
Spanish
24:44
artist
24:45
Mariano
24:45
Fortunywatercolour.And
24:46
Disney'soldermovieslike
24:48
Bambiwithitswatercolorbackgrounds,were
24:51
also
24:51
studied.
24:52
Because
24:52
beautiful
24:52
animation,
24:53
specifically
24:53
beautiful
24:54
computer
24:54
generated
24:55
animation,
24:55
doesn't
24:56
have
24:56
to
24:56
be
24:57
photorealistic
24:57
animation.
24:58
Joel
24:59
Crawford
24:59
wanted
25:00
to
25:00
move
25:00
away
25:01
from
25:01
the
25:02
hyper
25:02
realistic
25:03
glossy
25:03
CG
25:03
animation
25:04
of
25:04
the
25:05
early
25:05
2000s
25:06
and
25:06
wanted
25:07
a
25:07
painting
25:07
like
25:08
look
25:08
inspired
25:09
by
25:09
the
25:10
very
25:10
fairy
25:11
tales
25:11
the
25:11
movie
25:12
was
25:12
based
25:13
on
25:13
and
25:14
that
25:14
have
25:14
inspired
25:15
storytelling
25:15
for
25:16
generations.
25:16
For
25:17
that
25:17
to
25:18
work,
25:18
the
25:18
filmmakers
25:19
would
25:19
have
25:20
to
25:20
get
25:21
CG
25:21
to
25:22
essentially
25:22
look
25:22
like
25:23
something
25:23
other
25:24
than
25:24
sieging.
25:25
They
25:25
started
25:26
with
25:26
the
25:27
core
25:27
look
25:28
of
25:28
Puss,
25:29
and
25:29
Ludovic
25:29
Buancho,
25:30
head
25:30
of
25:31
character
25:31
animation,
25:32
was
25:32
at
25:33
the
25:33
forefront
25:33
of
25:34
that
25:34
change.
25:35
Buancho
25:36
had
25:36
been
25:36
an
25:37
animator
25:37
for
25:38
the
25:38
original
25:39
Puss
25:39
in
25:40
Boots,
25:40
so
25:40
had
25:41
to
25:41
take
25:42
what
25:42
they'd
25:43
done
25:43
previously
25:44
and
25:44
rip
25:44
up
25:45
the
25:45
rulebook
25:46
to
25:46
make
25:47
the
25:47
characters
25:47
more
25:48
illustrative.
25:48
The
25:49
filmmakers
25:49
also
25:50
looked
25:50
to
25:51
fairy
25:51
tales
25:51
for
25:52
the
25:52
style
25:53
of
25:53
the
25:54
environments
25:54
where
25:55
the
25:55
story
25:55
would
25:56
take
25:56
place.
25:57
Which
25:58
leads
25:58
us
25:58
to
25:59
production
25:59
designer
26:00
Nate
26:00
Wragg,
26:01
who,
26:01
because
26:02
they
26:02
were
26:02
taking
26:03
references
26:03
from
26:04
fairy
26:04
tales
26:05
and
26:05
spaghetti
26:06
western
26:06
films
26:06
and
26:07
Akira
26:07
Kurosawa
26:08
production
26:08
design
26:09
could
26:09
take
26:09
a
26:10
more
26:10
artistic
26:11
and
26:11
bold
26:12
approach
26:12
to
26:13
the
26:13
cinematography
26:13
and
26:14
compositions.
26:14
There's
26:15
a
26:15
distinct
26:16
anime
26:16
look
26:17
to
26:17
the
26:17
fight
26:18
scenes
26:18
too.
26:19
Anyone
26:19
who's
26:20
seen
26:20
Attack
26:20
on
26:21
Titan
26:21
can
26:22
see
26:22
the
26:23
similarities
26:23
in
26:24
the
26:24
giant
26:24
attack.
26:25
And
26:26
mostly
26:26
it
26:27
was
26:27
all
26:28
about
26:28
enhancing
26:28
movement.
26:29
Puss's
26:30
features
26:30
were
26:31
updated
26:31
too,
26:31
with
26:32
updated
26:32
facial
26:33
features,
26:33
eye
26:34
size
26:34
and
26:35
silhouette
26:35
of
26:35
the
26:36
fur,
26:36
even
26:37
his
26:37
shoulders
26:38
were
26:38
changed
26:39
from
26:39
the
26:39
previous
26:40
version.
26:40
But
26:41
they
26:41
wanted
26:42
to
26:42
ensure
26:42
he
26:43
still
26:43
looked
26:44
and
26:44
felt
26:45
like
26:45
a
26:46
cat.
26:46
For
26:46
so
26:47
many
26:47
years,
26:48
studios
26:48
had
26:49
aimed
26:49
for
26:50
photorealistic
26:50
fur.
26:50
I
26:51
spoke
26:52
a
26:52
little
26:53
about
26:53
that
26:53
in
26:54
Monsters,
26:54
Inc.
26:55
But
26:55
making
26:56
stylistic
26:56
fur
26:57
was
26:57
a
26:57
big
26:58
challenge.
26:58
The
26:59
techniques
27:00
they
27:00
were
27:01
using
27:01
to
27:01
make
27:02
the
27:02
work
27:03
look
27:03
artsy
27:04
worked
27:04
on
27:04
hard,
27:05
flat
27:05
surfaces,
27:06
but
27:06
not
27:07
really
27:07
on
27:08
textures
27:08
or
27:08
fur.
27:09
Ultimately,
27:09
though,
27:10
it
27:10
wasn't
27:11
about
27:11
losing
27:12
detail
27:12
and
27:12
richness.
27:13
It
27:13
was
27:14
about
27:14
controlling
27:15
it.
27:15
So
27:16
they
27:16
ended
27:17
up
27:17
adding
27:18
stylized
27:18
elements
27:19
to
27:19
existing
27:19
fur,
27:20
including
27:20
guard
27:21
hairs,
27:21
which
27:22
were
27:22
thickened
27:23
like
27:23
a
27:23
real
27:24
cat
27:24
would
27:25
have.
27:25
And
27:26
while
27:26
most
27:26
of
27:27
the
27:27
movie
27:28
was
27:28
filmed
27:29
on
27:29
ones,
27:30
it
27:30
transitions
27:30
to
27:31
twos
27:31
or
27:32
fours
27:32
in
27:33
action
27:33
sequences.
27:34
They
27:34
called
27:35
it
27:35
stepped
27:36
animation
27:36
because
27:37
it
27:37
wasn't
27:37
just
27:38
going
27:38
to
27:39
twos.
27:39
It
27:40
was
27:40
whatever
27:41
worked
27:41
for
27:41
the
27:42
shot.
27:42
They
27:43
had
27:43
used
27:44
it
27:44
before
27:45
on
27:45
Trolls
27:45
World
27:46
Tour
27:46
and
27:47
the
27:47
Bad
27:48
Guys.
27:48
But
27:49
for
27:49
Puss
27:50
in
27:50
Boots,
27:51
they
27:51
built
27:52
an
27:52
arbitrary
27:52
stepped
27:53
animation
27:53
pipeline
27:54
with
27:54
two
27:55
key
27:55
tools
27:56
to
27:56
give
27:56
them
27:57
the
27:57
look
27:58
they
27:58
were
27:59
going
27:59
for.
27:59
One
28:00
tool
28:01
they
28:01
had
28:02
was
28:02
called
28:03
Stamp
28:03
Map,
28:03
which
28:04
effectively
28:04
could
28:05
build
28:05
a
28:06
point
28:06
cloud
28:07
around
28:07
an
28:07
object
28:08
and
28:08
project
28:09
texture
28:09
maps
28:10
with
28:10
orientation
28:10
as
28:11
any
28:11
sort
28:12
of
28:12
map
28:13
channel
28:13
that
28:14
they
28:14
wanted.
28:14
The
28:15
second
28:15
key
28:16
piece
28:16
was
28:17
called
28:17
CEO,
28:18
a
28:18
new
28:18
version
28:19
of
28:19
an
28:20
existing
28:20
tool
28:21
called
28:21
CIA,
28:21
which
28:22
stands
28:22
for
28:23
Crap
28:23
in
28:24
the
28:24
air.
28:25
CEO
28:25
stands
28:26
for
28:26
crap
28:27
Encapsulating
28:27
objects.
28:28
Basically,
28:29
if
28:29
you
28:29
take
28:30
an
28:30
object
28:31
and
28:31
build
28:32
a
28:32
bunch
28:32
of
28:33
point
28:33
clouds
28:34
around
28:34
it,
28:35
if
28:35
all
28:36
those
28:36
sample
28:36
the
28:37
closest
28:37
point
28:38
material
28:38
on
28:39
that
28:39
object,
28:40
they
28:40
can
28:40
lift
28:41
off
28:41
the
28:42
surface
28:42
and
28:43
extend,
28:43
and
28:43
you
28:44
can
28:44
group
28:45
them
28:45
to
28:46
get
28:46
shapes.
28:47
This
28:47
gave
28:47
them
28:48
the
28:48
look
28:49
they
28:49
were
28:50
after.
28:50
And
28:51
then
28:51
lighting
28:51
controlled
28:52
everything
28:52
else,
28:53
and
28:53
it
28:54
gave
28:54
it
28:54
a
28:55
cohesive
28:55
look
28:56
across
28:56
the
28:57
whole
28:57
movie.
28:58
And
28:58
this
28:59
movie
28:59
was
29:00
partially
29:00
made
29:01
during
29:01
the
29:02
pandemic.
29:02
So
29:02
many
29:03
people
29:03
worked
29:04
from
29:04
home,
29:05
which
29:05
makes
29:05
the
29:06
achievement
29:06
ever
29:07
more
29:07
impressive.
29:08
There
29:09
was
29:09
also
29:09
a
29:10
first
29:10

29:11

29:11

29:12

29:12
movie,
29:13
and
29:13

the

to

and

he
35:42
had
35:42
to
35:43
elicit
35:44
these

fears.
35:45
Unlike
35:46
any
35:47
other
35:47
Shrek
35:48
antagonist,
35:49
Death
35:49

no

comedic

trait.
35:52
He

is
35:53
portrayed
35:54
completely
35:55
straight
35:55
with
35:56
a
35:56
bit
35:57
of
35:58
snot,
35:58
which
35:59
makes
36:00
him
36:00
a
36:01
legitimate
36:01
threat
36:02
and
36:03

36:03
a

darkness

36:13
But
36:14
the

36:15
also
36:15
wanted

to

it's
36:44
the
36:45
wishing
36:45
star
36:46
or
36:47
Puss's
36:47
final
36:48
life.
36:48
And
36:50
then
36:50
there's
36:51
this
36:51
little
36:52
unwanted
36:53
dog
36:53
who
36:54
has
36:55
led
36:55
a
36:56
very
36:56
sad,
36:57
very
36:58
unfortunate
36:58
life.
36:59
He
36:59
has
37:00
every
37:01
reason
37:01
to
37:02
be
37:02
cynical,
37:03
but
37:04
he
37:04
is
37:05
the
37:06
one
37:06
character
37:07
who
37:07
looks
37:08
at
37:09
what
37:09
he
37:10
has
37:10
and
37:11
is
37:12
grateful.
37:12
He
37:13
may
37:14
be
37:15
naive
37:15
and
37:16
innocent,
37:17
but
37:17
his
37:18
innocence
37:18
gives
37:19
him
37:20
a
37:20
level
37:21
of
37:21
wisdom
37:22
without
37:23
cynicism.
37:23
Perrito
37:24
doesn't
37:24
try
37:25
to
37:26
change
37:26
anyone.
37:27
He
37:28
accepts
37:28
everyone
37:29
for
37:29
who
37:30
they
37:31
are,
37:31
and
37:32
he
37:32
believes
37:33
in
37:34
everyone.
37:34
And
37:35
sometimes
37:36
we
37:37
should
37:37
all
37:38
be
37:39
a
37:39
little
37:40
bit
37:40
more
37:41
Perrito.
37:42
Casting
37:42
wise
37:43
Antonio
37:43
Banderas
37:44
would
37:45
obviously
37:45
return,
37:46
as
37:46
well
37:47
as
37:48
Salma
37:48
Hayek
37:49
Pinot
37:50
as
37:50
Kitty
37:51
Soft
37:51
Paws.
37:52
Joining
37:53
them
37:54
would
37:54
be
37:55
Harvey
37:56
Guillen
37:56
as
37:57
Perrito,
37:57
who
37:58
is
37:59
probably
37:59
most
38:00
well
38:01
known
38:01
for
38:02
what
38:02
we
38:03
do
38:04
in
38:04
the
38:05
Shadows,
38:05
the
38:06
TV
38:07
series.
38:07
And
38:08
just
38:08
on
38:09
a
38:10
note,
38:10
this
38:11
is
38:11
a
38:12
phenomenal
38:13
cast.
38:13
Ray
38:14
Winstone
38:15
as
38:15
Papa
38:16
Bear,
38:16
Samson
38:17
Kayo
38:18
as
38:18
Baby
38:19
Bear,
38:19
John
38:20
Mulaney
38:20
as
38:21
Big
38:22
Jack
38:22
Horner,
38:23
and
38:23
the
38:24
legendary
38:24
British
38:25
might
38:25
of
38:26
Florence
38:27
Pugh
38:27
as
38:28
Goldilocks
38:28
and
38:29
Olivia
38:29
Colman
38:30
as
38:31
Mama
38:31
Bear.
38:32
And
38:32
not
38:33
only
38:33
that,
38:34
but
38:34
Narcos'
38:35
very
38:36
own
38:36
Pablo
38:37
Escobar
38:37
himself,
38:38
Wagner
38:38
Moura
38:39
as
38:40
the
38:40
Wolf,
38:41
AKA
38:41
Death.
38:42
Speaking
38:43
of
38:43
death,
38:44
this
38:45
is
38:45
a
38:46
good
38:46
moment
38:47
to
38:47
segue
38:48
into
38:49
the
38:49
obligatory
38:50
Keanu
38:50
reference
38:51
of
38:51
this
38:52
episode.
38:52
And
38:54
if
38:54
you're
38:55
new
38:55
here
38:56
and
38:56
you
38:57
don't
38:58
know
38:58
what
38:59
this
38:59
is,
39:00
this
39:00
is
39:01
where
39:01
I
39:02
try
39:03
and
39:03
link
39:04
every
39:04
movie
39:05
that
39:05
I
39:06
feature
39:07
with
39:07
Keanu
39:08
Reeves
39:08
for
39:09
no
39:09
reason
39:10
other
39:11
than
39:11
he
39:12
is
39:12
genuinely
39:13
the
39:13
best
39:14
of
39:14
men.
39:15
And
39:16
Keanu
39:17
Reeves
39:17
has
39:18
also,
39:18
like
39:19
Puss
39:20
in
39:20
Boots,
39:21
faced
39:21
Death,
39:22
not
39:22
played
39:23
by
39:23
Wagner
39:24
Mora,
39:25
but
39:25
Death
39:26
played
39:26
by
39:27
William
39:27
Sadler
39:28
in
39:29
Bill
39:29
and
39:30
Ted's
39:30
Bogus
39:31
Journey.
39:31
And
39:32
that
39:32
is
39:33
the
39:34
easiest
39:34
way
39:35
I
39:35
can
39:36
link
39:36
Puss
39:37
in
39:38
Boots
39:38
the
39:39
Last
39:39
Wish
39:40
to
39:40
Keanu
39:41
Reeves.
39:41
Heitor
39:43
Piera
39:43
was
39:44
announced
39:44
as
39:45
the

film's
39:46
composer,
39:47
replacing
39:47
Henry
39:48
Jackman,
39:48
who'd
39:49
composed
39:49
the

music
39:50
for
39:51
Puss
39:52
in
39:52

39:53

39:53
Pereira
39:54
was
39:55
recommended
39:56
by
39:56
the

39:58

and
39:59
Illumination
39:59
CEO
40:00
Chris
40:01
Meledandri,
40:01
whom
40:02
Pereira
40:02
had
40:03
worked
40:03
with
40:04
on
40:05
other
40:05

40:06
most
40:06
notably

the
40:07
Despicable
40:08
Me
40:08
and
40:09
Minions
40:10

40:10
The
40:11
soundtrack
40:11
for
40:12
the
40:12
movie
40:13
featured
40:14
five
40:14
original
40:15
songs.
40:15

which
40:25
is

40:33
The

40:34
also
40:35

40:36
the

40:43
The
40:44
first
40:45
27
40:45
minutes
40:46
of
40:46
Puss
40:47
in
40:47
Boots,
40:48
the
40:48
Last
40:49
Wish,
40:50
was
40:50
screened
40:51
before
40:51
a
40:52
packed
40:52
auditorium
40:53
at
40:54
the
40:54
Annecy
40:55
International
40:55
Animation
40:56
film
40:56
festival
40:57
in
40:57
2022
40:58
to
40:59
energetic
40:59
reactions
41:00
from
41:00
the
41:01
crowd.
41:01
And
41:03
as
41:03
I
41:04
mentioned
41:04
earlier,
41:05
this
41:05
was
41:06
a
41:06
movie
41:07
that
41:08
was
41:08
originally
41:09
supposed
41:09
to
41:10
be
41:10
released
41:11
much
41:12
sooner
41:12
than
41:13
it
41:13
was
41:14
and
41:14
different
41:15
to
41:15
what
41:16
it
41:17
ended
41:17
up
41:18
being.
41:18
So
41:19
the
41:20
original
41:21
Puss
41:21
in
41:22
Boots,
41:22
Nine
41:23
Lives
41:23
and
41:24
40
41:24
Thieves
41:25
was
41:26
scheduled
41:26
to
41:27
be
41:27

41:28
on
41:28
2nd
41:29
November
41:30
2018
41:30

41:31
then
41:31
later
41:32
on
41:32
21st
41:33
December
41:34
2018
41:34
before
41:35
it
41:35
was
41:36
removed
41:36
from
41:37
the
41:37
release
41:38

41:39
altogether
41:39
in

January
41:40
2015

to
41:42
DreamWorks
41:43

41:43

41:45
When
41:46
the

41:47
was
41:48
resurrected,
41:48
it
41:49
was
41:49
given
41:50
a
41:50
new
41:51

moved

The

was
42:52
released
42:53
on
42:53
21
42:54
December
42:55
2022,
42:55
the
42:56
same

42:57
as

the

42:59
of
43:00

43:00
opening
43:01
fourth
43:01
in
43:02
its
43:02
first
43:03
week
43:04
and
43:04
climbing
43:05
to
43:05
second
43:06
behind
43:06
the
43:07
Avatar
43:08
sequel.
43:08
It
43:09
dropped
43:10
to
43:10
third
43:11
in
43:11
its
43:12
fourth
43:13
week,
43:13
but
43:14
then
43:14
climbed
43:15
back
43:15
up
43:16
to
43:17
second
43:17
in
43:18
its
43:18
sixth
43:19
week,
43:19
then
43:20
down
43:20
to
43:21
sixth
43:22
in
43:22
its
43:23
ninth
43:23

43:24
before
43:24
climbing
43:25
to
43:26
third
43:26
in
43:27
its
43:27
tenth
43:28

43:28
This
43:29
particular
43:30
Puss
43:31
in
43:31
Boot
43:32
seemed
43:32
to
43:33
have
43:33
multiple
43:34
lines
43:35
at
43:35
the
43:36
box
43:36
office
43:37
because
43:37
overall
43:38
it
43:38
stayed
43:39
in
43:40
the
43:40
top
43:41
10
43:41
for
43:42
14
43:42
weeks
43:43
and
43:44
seemed
43:44
to
43:45
do
43:45
well
43:46
with
43:46
word
43:47
of
43:47
mouth
43:48
and
43:49
became
43:49
