Review
Made as a spin-off prequel to the 'Shrek' franchise, 'PUSS IN BOOTS' is a daringly good and entertaining CGI animated movie that has plenty of laughs and action for everyone and it is impressive in 3D. The film's voice acting was terrific such as Antonio Banderas who did a fantastic job of voicing the title character and even Salma Hayek for Puss's female counterpart Kitty.

I have not reviewed any of the Shrek movies such as 'SHREK 2' where Puss is first introduced. This spin-off movie while less than purr-fect is a must see for Shrek fans and cat-lovers.

Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
