Some dickhead comparing Gamergate (as if anyone fucking cares about that shit anymore) to Puss in Boots and saying people were overhyping “a simple Shrek sequel”. Pretty blatant bait.

Yikes.

Anyway, some animation guides the animators used (mild spoilers). Pretty hilarious too.

It's interesting that the poster says "Fear His Howl" when he actually whistles to signal his presence.

The marketing also called him the Big Bad Wolf, probably to hide his true nature.

Given Goldilocks and the Bears are part of the story, its an easy assumption to make.

The Big Bad Wolf is part of Shrek’s crew already. Also seems rumors of Mama Bear being turned into a rug by Lord Farquaad were greatly exaggerated. [lol]

I wonder how the Three Bears in Shrek and the Three Bears in this movie are related to one another. Is it a completely different bear family? Or older versions of the same bears (considering that this movie takes place several years after Shrek)?

Depending on how much time has passed in universe, could the Papa Bear in this film actually be the Baby Bear from the first Shrek film all grown up.

As for the Big Bad Wolf, he's never actually called that in the movie proper, just Wolf, Lobo, or Death.

[up][up]Interesting question. How long is this film from when shrek 1 was?

Like this is definitely not the same three bears from that film.

Speaking of timelines, was it ever established when the first Puss in Boots movie took place? For a time, I wanted to think it was before Shrek 2, but that probably doesn't make sense because Puss wasn't acting nearly as heroic when we first saw him in Shrek 2.

So maybe some time after Shrek Forever After?

As far as I know, the official stance on the first Puss in Boots movie is that it takes place before Shrek 2.

Mama Bear was also dancing in the ending in Shrek 1.

All I've seen is film Youtubers still raving about the movie, so it's definitely a hit.

It's also gaining fame just for the scene of Puss bleeding from a cut, which apparently caused viewers to gasp and whisper in shock, due to actual blood in an established children's movie.

I've seen it pointed out that this movie is essentially about learning to count your blessings and find enjoyment in life as it is (to the point that one of the challenges you need to pass to get to the star is literally stopping and smelling the roses), and as such its true villain is an "affluenza kid" who believes the fact that he was born with a silver spoon in every orifice entitles him to take literally everything. I like that.

Movie isn't really subtle about that lol.

Puss learns to value life after taking it (and the people around him) for granted.

Golidlocks learns she already found the family she thought she didn't have.

And the only villain who dies is Jack, who explicitly only cares about himself and willingly and gleefully sacrifices others to get what he wants. For extra points, he's thwarted by one of the people he rebuffed.

As a paleontology nerd, I find it quite amusing that the villain Jack Horner in this movie shares a name with a rather infamously unethical paleontologist.

[up]x4 She isn't! During the "I'm a Believer" musical number, it's only Papa and Baby dancing, with Mama nowhere to be seen (in line with her being a rug in Farquaad's room). She appears in the "Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party" short, though, but I'm not sure if that short is "canon".

[up] TBF, Jack Horner is a character from a nursery rhyme that has long existed so for me it's amusing to think that Jack Horner the paleontologist shares a name with a nursery rhyme lol

I just saw a bunch of caricatures of the paleontologist Jack Horner with the cricket on his shoulder getting upset about his more unethical moves (such as marrying his 18-year-old student, creating dinosaur NFTs, and insisting that T. rex was exculsively a scavenger).

This is a minor thing, but it amazes me how in the movie, no one ridicules Puss for having a therapy dog. (Even Kitty mentions that he already needed it)

In any other comedy movie, a character would have suffered snide comments for needing one.
