''Puss in Boots'' is a 1999 animated film, produced and animated entirely by Creator/PhilNibbelink. It is an adaptation of the classic fairy tale ''Literature/PussInBoots'', starring the voices of Creator/JudgeReinhold, Dan Haggerty and Creator/MichaelYork

!!Tropes in this film:

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: While most of the backgrounds are flat pictures, the Ogre's castle is notably 3D, which stands out conspicuously.
* CaptainErsatz: Gunther and the Princess' cat look suspiciously like WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} and [[WesternAnimation/TheAristocats Duchess]], respectively, no doubt due to Phil Nibbelink having previously worked for DIsney.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Fire and lava don't seem to work the same way in this movie's universe as it does our own, as despite sometimes charring people, other times people can stand right near lava or right ''in'' flames without getting burned.
* DerangedAnimation: Due to the limited capabilities of Flash, a lot of the animation is, well, ''strange'', with the characters constantly waving weirdly like paper strips blowing in the wind.
* DungFu: When thrown in the dungeon, Gunther and Puss begin throwing what is certainly shit at each other, considering it's dripping out of sewage pipes.
* ImprovisedCatapult: Used several times in the movie, most notably a windmill and a pipe.
* LimitedAnimation: Since it was made by one man using Flash, the animation is rather cheap-looking and limited. Most notably, the background remains static in a couple of shots despite the characters changing.
* OffModel:
** Gunther regularly switches between having individually lined teeth to having a ToothStrip in some shots.
* VocalDissonance: Gunther has the surprisingly deep voice of Creator/JudgeReinhold for a young man.
