Dreamworks finally does it. They make a great animated film based in the bastardized-fairy tale world the Shrek movies made famous. This is mostly because Puss is a million times more likable and interesting than Shrek but also because the storytelling comes front and center instead backseat to annoying cultural references. Puss (Antonio Banderas) along with his childhood friend Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) go on a search for the magical beans Jack and Jill just stole. Their goal to use the beans to grow a bean stalk up to the giant's floating castle another Jack visited decades earlier. Along for the mission is the sexy Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek). It's a solid film and I'm glad it received an Oscar Nomination. Grade: B+.
By the way: If you're a cat owner you almost have to see this film. The cat jokes are hilarious.
