More than a decade after “Shrek” prequel/spinoff “Puss in Boots,” the flamboyant feline is up to his old tricks — but has yet to meet the computer-animated ogre whose party he’s destined to crash in “Shrek 2.” As that series wore on, the “Shrek” franchise took on so many popular side characters that by the fourth outing, there was hardly room left to swing a cat.
The stakes may be more serious this time around, but the film’s every bit as amusing as you’d expect from the clever-as-ever team at DreamWorks Animation, which has had a bumpy few years, taking something of a back seat to Illumination over at Universal . “” marks DWA’s best film since the “How to Train Your Dragon” trilogy, reflecting some of the lessons learned on that series, including the notion that cartoon characters get a lot more interesting if they’re not immortal.
Cartoon cats can stand all kinds of abuse — just ask Tom, after years of Jerry’s violent shenanigans — but it’s probably best not to test fate if standing in Puss’ shoes, especially when pursued by a big-bad-wolf bounty hunter . Crawford stages Puss’ first run-in with this reaper like a scene straight out of a Sergio Leone movie, the way Frank Miller might have drawn it for one of his “Daredevil” comics: all strong poses, extreme angles and high-contrast graphic effects.
The movie keeps piling on characters as it goes — from Goldi and the Three Bears crime family to good-boy-gone-bad Jack Horner — until such time that the ensemble has swollen to “Shrek”-like levels. But don’t fret! Mother Goose reject Jack Horner makes for a lame villain.
