History WesternAnimation / TheAdventuresOfPussInBoots

A SpinOff of the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' series on Creator/{{Netflix}} and a RecycledTheSeries prequel to ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots''. This computer-animated cartoon features Puss In Boots, chronicling his life a defender of the lost city of San Lorenzo after he accidentally breaks the spell keeping it hidden.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Puss himself inadvertently breaks the spell protecting San Lorenzo hidden by taking a coin from its treasury, leading to his being made the city's defender.

* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Dulcinea's ''Wee Compendium of Facts and Fun'' is a children's book of [[TastesLikeDiabetes overly sweet and cheery rhymes,]] with such life lessons as "To feel at home in places new, a cheerful, bright hello will do". Amusingly, it's a running gag that Dulcinea's rhymes aren't always as helpful as she hopes they are. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't contribute anything positive at all, and sometimes they just go ignored. In some cases, she's had to outright rewrite the book or make up her own when they failed. Which may foreshadow [[spoiler:the fact that they're gibberish that the author wrote in a weekend to make a quick buck.]]

This computer-animated cartoon features Puss In Boots, chronicling his life a defender of the lost city of San Lorenzo after he accidentally breaks the spell keeping it hidden.

A non-canon InteractiveFiction short film was released, which [[WesternAnimation/PussInBookTrappedInAnEpicTale now has its own page]]

The show premiered in January 2015 with five episodes. It is the third film by Creator/DreamworksAnimation to be given a spin off by Netflix.

!!This show provides examples of:

-->'''Goodsword''': It turned him evil! It made him like asparagus! And flamenco music!
-->'''Thriffith''': I always liked flamenco music.
-->'''Goodsword''': It's terrible! It's just notes in a row!
-->'''Thriffith''': That's what music is!

* BloodKnight: A tone down version but nothing makes Puss happier than a good fight. Clearly shown in "Sword" when discussing Dulcinea's upcoming fight with Thriffith.
-->'''Puss''': You don't have to fight a monster.
-->'''Goodsword''': Yes, she does!
-->'''Puss''': You '''[[DistinctionWithoutADifference GET]]''' to fight a monster!
* CastingGag: "Brothers" features the titular quartet of Ninja Pig brothers, wearing bandanas in familiar colours, 3 of whom share a voice actor with a [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 different incarnation]] of [[{{Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles}} Michelangelo]] (said series has Creator/EricBauza as one of the villains).

* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the series, Puss becomes somewhat less arrogant and more inclined to think things through rather than immediately attacking. Conversely, Dulcinea becomes less naive, and even prepared to consider violence as a solution (although not her favoured one). By the last season, she and Puss have become a BattleCouple. This is why [[spoiler: they retain their memories of Puss's time in San Lorenzo even after it never happened; it made them better heroes.]]

-->'''Fartholomew''': Artephius, you can't defeat me!
-->'''Artephius''': I just remembered something, Fartholomew. Something I forgot long ago.
-->'''Fartholomew''': And what's that?
-->'''Artephius''': ''Kung Fu''!
-->'''Fartholomew''': Oh, you have got to be kid- ''(Artephius punches Fartholomew across the room)''

-->'''Puss''': What did people ''do'' before dowsing rods??

-->'''Franciso''': Release thine hold upon that which does not to your belonging be!
-->'''Puss''': ...I'm sorry, what?
-->'''Baltasar''': He means drop the yarn. No one knows why he can't just talk normal.

-->'''Pajuna''': '''S'''pecial '''U'''nfiltered '''G'''round '''A'''rima '''R'''oot, everyone knows that!
-->'''Puss''': No one knows that!
-->'''Pajuna''': Oh...

-->'''Puss''': Listen, I have a plan.
-->'''El Guante Blanco''': There is no plan. We fight and we win!
-->'''Puss''': We have to use our brains: "Make use of the things you know, and you can beat the strongest foe."
-->''(Beat)''
-->'''Puss''': I cannot believe I just quoted from the book.

* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Dulcinea's ''Wee Compendium of Facts and Fun'' is a children's book of [[TastesLikeDiabetes overly sweet and cheery rhymes,]] with such life lessons as "To feel at home in places new, a cheerful, bright hello will do".
-->'''Dulcinea''': Isn't it swell? I've based my entire life on it!
-->'''Puss''': [[ThisExplainsSoMuch That explains a lot]].

-->'''Puss''': Golem, No! No! You're supposed to ''make'' punch! Fruit punch!
-->'''Golem''': Order not say "Make Punch", order just say "Punch"! Golem must obey!
* LiteralSplitPersonality: The two-part SeriesFinale reveals [[spoiler: Artephius is one half of the great sorcerer Sino, who imprisoned his ambitious side to prevent himself misusing the PowerCrystal that imprisoned the Bloodwolf]].

** The Big Ninja Brothers are pretty much an evil version of ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''

* MrSeahorse: In "Cat Fish", Fiji and Brad are married and Brad is expecting.

* KabbalicGolem: The Golem from "Golem", a clay giant animated by a written command placed inside his mouth.
