It's an easy mistake to make, choosing this DVD over the better know version from Dreamworks with only one letter difference in the title. We did in the supermarket as we tried to get round as quickly as possible! As a result I'd start off by giving credit to Amazon for the title here stating clearly that it is NOT the Dreamworks version.
If you're a fan of French (or what I think of as more "arty") movies you'll probably enjoy this. If so, I also recommend you watch "Dragon Hunters". If not - AVOID!
We got about 20 minutes in before we gave up.
- The French take on the story line is dreadful
- The animation is average (at best)
- The singing princess is a pain and the songs are average (and in French)
- The dubbing isn't great
My advice, don't waste £4*. In fact NEVER BUY!

The animation on this film is reasonably good and it has a modern standard. However the film is not Great.
First of all the character Puss is not the same Puss in Boots character as in the Shrek films. This is dispite a Strong similarity in the artwork and costume displayed on the front cover.
In fact this production has nothing to do with the Shrek productions and it has to be said the animation is not as good as the Shrek animation.
The film has its own merits as an alternative interpretation of a fairytale telling of the story of Puss in Boots. And if it hadn't been for Shrek we would probably think this was a good movie.
But it isn't a movie classic.
Also I am not sure that this is suitable for very young viewers as some of the characters are a bit ugly and could be frightening.
The whole production seems to be European in style of animation. And I suspect this has been dubbed English.
Finally the story is not that exciting either and it drags on way too long.
Generally this DVD is a wasted opportunity. It appears to have strong possibilities but sags badly.
Don't waste your money on this. Go for the Shrek related Puss in Boots release instead.

Like so many other people, I bought this in error. My eight year old son thought it was the movie he'd seen at the cinema (i.e. the Dreamworks version), and I had no idea it wasn't.
I'm watching it with my son now; I'm not sure I'm going to be able to stay in the room until the end. The horror began with the musical accompaniment to the opening scene: a very unpleasant version of Fuer Elise. In fact, I'm not as distressed by the animation or the dialogue (although I wonder if it's a little sexist and racist) as I am by the music. Lots of classical music, horribly executed; hokey incidental music; weird dancing numbers. Ugh. I think I could almost tolerate it, were it not for the constant assaults on my ears.
My son seems to be enjoying it; he says I shouldn't judge it by the music. I can't watch any more; I'm off to the kitchen to make him some popcorn. Any excuse would do, really.

A Complete Rip Off!

Hit the back button and don't buy this rubbish!
Oh my god! We thought this was the dreamworks version but it is not.
This is truly awful. Please don't waste your money and time.

Totally Tonto!
My partner got this one thinking it was the Shrek spin off, which I believe is a common mistake. For this reason I nearly didn't watch it, but once I'd got my head round the fact... Read more

Terrible!!!
We bought this for £3 in the supermarket thinking we had bought a bargain. The children were bored within ten minutes and we've never put it back on. Read more

Dreadful
Bought this thinking it was the real dream works thing. We turned it off after about 15min. Terrible animation and songs and story. A waste of money and sneaky marketing ploy.

Good film, quick delivery
My 3 year old daughter loves this film. She had it about a year ago but lost the disc and was very excited when she saw I'd replaced it for her. Read more

Not your usual puss !!
It's worth buying because it's the antihesis of what you expect. I think it's intended for an audience over 18 years old (even though it has a "U" certificate). Read more

Would give this minus stars if allowed to
Absolutely crap! I agree with another reviewer who gave credit to Amazon for indicating that this is not a DreamWorks production. Read more

Don't expect Shrek and you might find you love this film
This is a great alternative to the standard fair (although to be fair, I do love the Shrek franchise). It is quirky, odd, bewildering and imaginative. Read more
