As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • The teaser trailer. it's basically Puss stripping to a Pitbull and posing with nothing on, but his boots.
    Puss: All I need...are the boots.
    • It also counts as an Awesome moment for how much swag Antonio Banderas gives him.
  • The entire scene where they arrive at the sky castle, and the air makes their voices really high-pitched.
  • The dance battle. 'The Litterbox' (a dance move based around a cat covering up their waste after using the litterbox), to which Puss gets offended and basically says, 'Oh, you did not!'
    • The Masked Cat's wordless reaction to Puss' butt scoot in response is priceless.
    • When The Masked Cat begins dancing, Puss (who has his paws up, expecting a fight) is just looking at the Masked Cat like "What the...?"
    • What upsets Puss in Boots and sends him into Unstoppable Rage territory? A single drop of milk on his boots...the look on his face is priceless.
    • After Puss gets disarmed by the Masked Cat (who he finds out to be a female, Kitty Softpaws), he bashes her in the head with a guitar out of nowhere, leading into this:
    Kitty Softpaws: (indignated) You hit me in the head with a guitar?!
    • And judging by how she said that, she looked more mad about the fact that Puss used a guitar to hit her than the fact that he actually hit her in the head.
  • Near the start of the movie, there's an expository moment where a man uses his body tattoos to show Puss the legend of the Golden Egg. We soon get this absolute gem:
    Man: Show him the golden eggs.
    [His tattoo-wearing partner reaches for his pants to rip them and reveal his private parts)]
    Puss: [Turns away in disgust and horror] NO! Please, you have shown enough...
    • It's all the more blatant, and even funnier, taking into account that in Spanish "huevos" (eggs) can also be slang for "testicles"...
  • Kitty falling asleep during Puss's story.
  • How Kitty keeps bringing up the "You hit me on the head with a guitar!" thing.
    Puss: I...regret the guitar...
  • Humpty in the gold suit (especially since he's Going Commando under there). Also the way they have to keep rolling him around to get him places.
  • The cat that keeps going "ooooh!" at appropriate moments. In the trailer, Puss even scolds him for always doing that.
  • Humpty Dumpty reveals in a rather dramatic way that "[He] was there the whole time" and the film makes sure to poke fun at the plot twist.
    • When we see Humpty throwing birdseed for the crows on Puss during the desert scene, the crows opt to grab him instead, with Humpty immediately realizing his mistake.
    • Heck, the whole flashback shows him present for many of the film's events, for increasingly less discernible reasons each and in increasingly goofy disguises.
  • One exclamation Puss says is "Holy Frijoles!".
  • The cat your cat could smell like commercial.
  • As a riff on the whole "plants respond to human voices and grow when complimented" stereotype, the Beanstalk explodes out of the ground instantly upon registering the phrase, "Hi, little plant!".
  • The flashbacks to Puss' childhood. He spends most of them being absolutely quiet, only nodding or shaking his head. The finally the cute little cat speaks... with Antonio Banderas' deep voice.
    • That turned from cute...to funny.
  • When Kitty, still in her mask, meets Puss for the first time, she points at herself, mimes something snapping in half, then points at Puss. However, as she wasn't clear on her intentions, Puss doesn't get it and indignantly replies, "You snap me?!?", interpreting it as she wanted to kill him, and then he growls at her.
  • Puss' reaction to Jack's gunshot. All his fur puffs out at once with a meow.
    Jack: You lookin' for something?
    Puss: Uh... no. [chuckles nervously] No hablo ingles?
  • The stare-down between Puss and the Diablos in the short film, particularly when Perla slaps Sir Timoteo Montenegro III.
  • When everyone is shouting, "He saved the Commandante's mother!", the bull who she needed saving from moos, which is subtitled as the exact same phrase.
  • Imelda yelling, "SILENCIO!" to silence her students, which Puss cites as the only time she wasn't an angel of kindness.
  • Kitten Puss hissing at the other orphans while holding the spoon.
  • After Puss refused Humpty's help because of his betrayal years ago, he furiously mutters some insults at him... and then gets distracted by the white dot because of Kitty, who then steals his money and attempts to seduce him into help Humpty, only for it to fail because Puss knows that she's working for him and yells at her.
    • Just Puss acting like the cat that he is creates some pretty comedic situations.
  • If you value your dignity, do not do a tango where your dance partner can be switched with the golden goose. Puss's reaction is hilarious, getting startled and even hissing and scratching at the goose. And he and Kitty were about to kiss right before that.
    Puss: OHMYGOD!
  • Puss has a bit of a problem with catnip:
    Guard: (shakes Puss's boot, small bag falls out, picks it up) One bag of catnip?!
    Puss: (nervously smiling) It is for my glaucoma.
  • Humpty Dumpty's line after the Cat Dance Fight in the mini-"tavern".
    Humpty Dumpty: Do you know what they do to eggs in San Ricardo Prison? I'll tell you this much.... it ain't over easy.
  • Watch this with the Once More, with Clarity scene in mind.
