All DETAILS You Missed In PUSS IN BOOTS THE LAST WISH Hello everybody, this is the latest Puss in Boots analysis. I watched the film in 0.25x speed and found some cool, new details you missed! Sources: eyes #shrek #pussinboots2 #wolf
There's also a detail I've heard from someone on the internet. In the bar scene where Puss drinks, we can see 8 empty glasses as the wolf shows the wanted poster. Puss had drank 8 glasses which might imply he had spent 8 lives. He was drinking his 9th cream/milk, it's a metaphor that he's currently living his 9th life.
@Dragonism There is a shot when Death comes in for the final fight right after he makes the ring of fire, the camera focuses on his sickle with the eight death marks of Puss and in the background is Puss' face directly under where the ninth mark is going to be! 👌💯
In the bar scene during the wide shot, when the candle is blown out it's the 9th candle on the chandelier. Symbolism for his ninth life being snuffed out early
You also missed this detail in the fight between puss and the giant, if you pay attention to the bell sounds, it ringed 7 times representing puss's previous deaths, the 8th one being the killing blow for his 8th death.
One subtle implication to the wolf being Death is the fact that he doesn't go after Puss when he decided to retire, and we only see him when he gets out of retirement
@@locknkey5309 because he went after Puss specifically because he threw his lives away , when he was actually trying to stay alive, he didnt bother him.
@@locknkey5309 The Wolf terrorise the ones who "laught at the face of death" by making them aware of their own mortality. Puss only became aware of it after his encounter at the bar.
Fun fact. When Puss thinks back to how lonely he was even though he's a great hero and a legend. You can see that its the same exact bar that Puss was drinking in before he met the Wolf. Why does this matter? It shows us that Puss wasn't actually talking to a bartender , As the flashback shows that the bartender wasnt there before the Wolf shows up. Puss was drinking himself to death in an abandoned old bar alone, pouring his own drinks and using coping mechanisms to tell himself that everything is going to be OK when it wasn't.
@@locknkey5309 I've read somewhere that adult cats are actually lactose intolerant, so Puss could have possibly died from a nasty combustion at the rear end
@Retr0 Yes and it also causes diarrhoea and stomach pain and even though it's cream, he's gotten drunk and died from wandering around intoxicated, who's to say it wouldn't happen again.
btw if you didnt notice, the wolf appears everytime he is on the brink of death, in the bar because he is drinking so heavily, in the town because he dropped from a 6 story building and in the giants fight for obvious reasons
Death appears everytime a disembodied soul would appear. Such as when people are about to die or in a cave full of souls. This theory is wrong for the bar scene tho’ in this scene Death wants to kill Puss but failed.
Also he whistles everytime there's deaths happening or everytime he "takes lives". Like the bartender in their first encounter, the fight with Jack and his henchmen, Puss' cave - which implies the destructions of his previous lives, and finally in the final battle.
Fun fact: Antonio Banderas (Puss' voice actor) has starred in multiple breakfast cookies commercials (Mulino Bianco) for Italian TV. In these commercials he's shown talking to a chicken and addressing her as "Rosita", which is basically Spanish for "small rose". After Puss defeats the Giant of Del Mar, a chicken steps forth from the crowd and hands him a bouquet of roses. I'd like to think that it's actually a reference to Rosita.
One small detail is 9:12 when Puss looks back to see Death. The environment surrounding him appears to look like a skull. It's a real nice touch, implying who he actually is.
Also, when Death and Puss are fighting in the bar, you can see Puss’s green eyes reflected in the sickles as Death blocks Puss’s attack and is winning. They do the same thing in the final battle, with us seeing Death’s red eyes reflected in the sickles as Puss is winning.
One cool thing I noticed when the wolf/death creates the flames before their final fight, wolf creates the flames to be more oval rather than a circular, and his shadow is stretched inside it. Creating the illusion of a cat's eye.
One detail everyone didn’t see or mention (and I could be wrong) Was when Perito’s dimension dream was full of blue roses because dogs can’t see red. So I would like to think that Perito’s roses are blue because it makes him happy!
Don't think anyone else saw this, but when Goldi reads the map and it says something in the lines of "What you seek is right in front of you" It doesn't mean the house. It means that the family she ever wanted was in front of her.
When she opens the book, if you read the first letter from every line, it says “You already have it” implying she already has the family she’s looking for.
Another missed detail for the final fight scene would be that Death can be seen from everybody. We all known that Death only appears when Puss is about to die, but the on the last fight, everybody can see him, indicating that they are all on the edge of dying .This got me thinking about the characteristics of the scene. The moment Death shows up, we got the bear family of 4,Puss team which makes it 7,Jack and Death, which makes it 9. Now remember when Death showed up and everybody saw him, that's right its about the time Puss was about to make the wish. So here's the plot twist, if Puss made the wish for more lives his wish would be granted but everyone standing on the star would had actually died one way or another. IF that wasn't the case then Death shouldn't be visible to other people.
I think you're kinda overthinking it. They were all fighting each other and jack, an irredeemable bastard, has the upper hand. Goldie didnt seem to have a problem with killing either from her dialogue. It's more likely they they all had a chance of dying there, especially with the stars disintegrating forcefield. Interesting idea though.
I may be but the patterns and the traits of the Death was what led me to this conclusion. In total he showed 3 times,all these times Puss was being either on the verge of the death and Death made sure to remind that.In both cutscenes the one in wagos and the fight in the forest nobody perceived the Death appearring in any of those cases.So why did everyone could perceive him and see him on last fight? If we follow previous set patterns,that straight up leads to evereyone being on the verge of death,but during the whole fight he was nowhere? The question is why did he appear when Puss was only about to make a wish ? That means no matter what happened,everyone would die on that field the moment Puss makes his wish. This is only in theory because we need more appearance time for this villain to figure it out,but def it is a posibility.
Nah fam its specifically said the star gives you every wish u want and magic blabla. If that would be the case it would've been mentioned that it takes his price. Death can be seen because he is a literal Personification the wolve can be seen by everyone
The fact Mama bear died in Shrek 1 means this would be a Bear Step Mom here, which also could make some sense to why she was more willing to help Goldi leave the family with the Stars wish since the Bear Step Mom also probably knows that feeling of unbelonging too well
They seem to be different bears. The other mama bear was wearing a bow. The one in PIB is wearing a hat. Old Papa bear is also wearing glasses and baby bear is wearing a necklace which the old one didn't. We also know that the bears in Puss in Boots have always been together since we see a flashback how they met Goldilocks.
I would like to add some very small details like uuhh, when puss is running to the entrance of the governer's house to fight the giant, he jumped over some candles and the move he did was actually named parkour move called cat pass but instead he only completed half of it. The wolf saying everyone think they will be the one to beat him, but none has escaped yet, I personally think that since puss was able to beat him during the end once, this implies he didnt specify he's unbeatable BUT INSTEAD he is unescapable. The reason why Jack was able to go big was because the snack, and I think the snacks is a reference to Allice in Wonderland. The bell during the first fight scene with the giant rang the same amount of time puss died
Also puss didn’t really beat death in the final fight, death just up and went “I wanted to fight an arrogant legend, you’re not that man anymore” then left, because his goal wasn’t to kill puss, just make the cat enjoy/value his last life
Death seems to be completely beatable if he comes directly to kill you. Death will come one way or another, even with immortality, so what does it matter if it's avatar is limited to strength?
Didnt puss himself say that he could never defeat death? Death was holding back when he fought Death. And he also underestimated puss in the last fight.
Disappointed you didn't mention how when the star map shifts for each person its representing their fears and insecurities, puss's clearly represents his fear of death, soft paws her fear of abandonment, and for perrito it doesn't really have anything because he's just so optimistic.
Also represents the wish they're about to make, as in more lives from Puss, someone she can trust from Kitty, a family from Goldi, and Perrito just wants to go with the flow and live his life to the fullest.
My take here is perrito is the embodiment of life like the wolf is the embodiment of death , if you notice on the whole movie perrito is he is the opposite of wolf , cause on the scene where he tell boots to cherish his life like that and goldi that he told her the she won the orphan lottery
Another fun detail I noticed in the bar. When the wolf finishes tapping on the wanted poster, and Puss says "I laugh in the face of death". You can see the wolf's hand begin to clench as that saying annoys him, but he abruptly changes tact to regain control of himself.
It's very subtle, but it's very possible, nice catch. They could have made it a little bit more obvious, it would have been great. I love these kinds of hintings to character's traits and persona.
2 things I noticed with the Wolf. When he holds the glass in the bar it reflects Puss, hinting that he is there to 'eat' him (In the last battle he says: I shouldn't play with my food). As Puss has indeed 8 glasses on the table, it shows Death is there for the last. Second thing. Every character gets a Wanted poster to introduce them, Puss, Goldie, Jack, even Perrito. And Death too. He slides Puss's wanted poster over, and taps Dead.
Also taps it 9 times.... And presses his claw harder in the table after puss said that he laughs in the face of death. Which he did... Also Death is a wolf cause the big bad wolf is the main villain of red riding hood. red riding hood and puss in boots are both made by the grim brothers......
one detail someone pointed out before, a dagger is used as a defensive weapon using a rapier, When Puss fought initially he didn't use a dagger opting for a more offensive style of fighting, by the end of the movie he's using the dagger as a defensive style of fighting parrying and blocking the attacks from death
This might be an overlooked detail, but in the beginning scenes where he is singing his song, there is a scene where puss dances with a chicken while fire surrounds him. During this scene, his song makes reference to the fact that puss does not fear death. The fact that he was dancing with a chicken with fire all around him while saying those lines might be foreshadowing the fight scene with death in the end where he is surrounded with fire while fighting with death. Not only did the fire surround puss in the beginning the same way that it did in the end, he was dancing with the chicken in the beginning and metaphorically dancing with death at the end.
Gonna go a bit further with your observation. Usually, when being calling a chicken, it means someone's a coward or scared of something. In the dance with the chicken, Puss was embracing the chicken close to him. In other words, it's a symbolic foreshadowing that Puss embraces his fear of Death in the final battle.
At 7:11, the wolf is holding a glass object with Puss reflection in it. Similar to the crystal cave scene where Puss in Boots past lives were in the reflections of large crystal slabs.
A hominid dog with sickles is reminiscent of the Ancient Egyptian Anubis as well, who is also associated with death. Oh, and the Wolf's color scheme is spot-on with the depiction of hell hounds, further reinforcing the symbolism already present.
I thought Anubis was a jackal and not a wolf. I mean they are both canines but I don't think the correlation with Anubis is accurate. Yes Anubis was correlated with death but he was there for mummification mostly which was preparing the dead to be preserved, and considering how Death is kind of brutal with people who are about to die (actually he was angry at Puss for wasting his lives so I don't blame him for being brutal. So maybe it's just Puss) so I was thinking that maybe he isn't associated with Anubis. I think it's more associated with the Grim Reaper than Anubis. It's still an extremely cool thought. (Also I could be misremembering what Anubis does so please forgive me if my explanation was inaccurate)
Big Bad Wolf in Shrek 2 uses the huff and puff to blow back something. He’s the same BBW from both Little Red Riding Hood AND the Three Little Pigs. Puss’s wolf is big, and he’s bad…but he’s different.
Since it seems like they're referencing stories beyond Fairy Tales it's likely Death is taking the form of the Black Shuck, or Old Shuck, an Omen of Death from Old English Folklore.
the wolf in this movie (death) I theorize is actually from the story of the boy who cried wolf. that or he's literally the interpretation of death in that universe.
There is another detail at 7:20, if you look, Puss already downed 8 drinks, and is currently on his 9th, probably reffering to the fact that he already wasted his 8 lives, and is currently on his 9th. However, Puss did not get to finish his 9th drink due to Death showing up. Or this could just be a coincidence.
Goldi's book after she turn the page, somebody discovered that the story, if you read it vertically, the first letters of each line in the book (minus the last sentence) spell out the phrase "you already have it", further showcasing how the Wishing Star is trying to convince Goldi that she already has her real family. PS : Don't forget about the Ooohhh cat, it also ended up in Mama Luna's home.
Not sure if it was intended but I like that after the last fight with Death the wolf leaves the court and whistles but he whistles just the first half. Sound like he saves the second half for the last visit of Puss. Awesome details.
Also at the bar, puss has eight empty glasses and is drinking from the ninth, his final shot at life. He may have ordered more, but the barman never comes back, death already arriving before more cream, or lives, could be granted even as his last was being drank
When puss beat the giant with the bell it never stopped ringing, Puss was getting away with it and got overjoyed announcing his song "the legend that never dies" at that very moment the bell rang for the #8 time coincidentally falling on top of him killing him. However it wasn't an accident, afterwards at the cave where Puss meets his late 8 lives Wolf implies he played a hand at his 8th death with Gambler Puss immediately noticing and claiming he cheated which prompted Wolf to shatter him into pieces with a Shhhhh
The "that's cheating" refers to Wolf saying "So why don't I do us both a favor and take this last one now?". Death follows the natural order, hating cats for having the luck of 9 lives, therefore it would be cheating to take away puss 9th before it really ended, despite how unvalued the other 8 before that were
There are (at least) 2 easter eggs missing: 1. The cat who says "oooooooh" in Mama Luna's also did that in the dance scene from the 2011 movie 2. Big Jack Horner's first line on his carriage is a reference to the Wicked Witch of the West's line, being "I'll get you my kitties, and your little dog too"
While it is possible to be a terminator reference to an extent, I think Jack putting a thumbs-down into the middle of the star at 18:00 was more a reference to his nursery rhyme and earlier in the movie (when he was first introduced) where he stuck his thumb into a pie in a similar motion
I think it means he’s like rating or reflecting on himself? Since he only does that thumb thing to test his food quality or maybe its just bc hes known for it
There's also a detail that I've read in twitter. When the fight ended, Puss was about to leave the village but then he returned in few seconds, asking them "you're still here?". After saying that, death was eerily whistling through people's cheers, signifying that puss's 8th life has come to an end.
If you think so don’t let your kids watch 😊😊 ok please don’t spoil the movie if you’re scared of the dark don’t watch paranormal movies ,cause it’s just movie and I love it, I don’t find anything disturbing in this movie why everybody sees as something else...i am a fan of Puss in Boots and Shrek franchise and I love seeing mature movie ,moreover we are not 60s anymore we’re in modern days,and not a kid we what we are watching so don’t let them banned movie please 👌 And I sub to your channel DFilm 😊
Since Kitty is declawed, when she gives Puss her gatito knife, she's sacrificing some of her protection/ability for him - the knife would function for her as a surrogate claw of sorts, and help her hold on to things/defend herself. So she's making herself more vulnerable for his benefit. :)
The entrance to the Dark Forest is also a nod to Alice in Wonderland, where Alice enters Wonderland through a rabbit hole in the woods. The Excalibur Jack pulls out from the bag still has dirt and stone on it, because Jack wasn't worthy
Part of Death's look, including the use of two sickles, seems inspired by Malthael from Diablo 3. The part where the wolf crosses both in front of his chest and divulges his identity mirrors a similar scene of Malthael in the trailer for Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.
i think its more referencing Anubis, Egyptian God of Death who has that same pose as a famous one of his. Helps he has the head of a jackal which is a canine
A little detail someone pointed out to me: when it's showing Goldi and the bears' wanted poster, and then shows claw marks for each one of them and their names, after Goldi's name is shown, the words "want family" are left visible on the wanted poster
shrek 5... that sounds terrible, after the previous one.... lets hope they will learn something from second puss movie. shrek was and mostly is just a spoof movie on fary tales. Making real story was never a strength of a shrek movie.
I think my favorite minor detail that hinted at the wolf being Death was when Puss first got into the Dark Forest. We see all the other characters on the map when they show up, but the Wolf never did.
Wanted to point out there was possibly a connection with Puss and Don Quixote. The beard, the windmills in Puss Close up transition as well as puss saying he will become the legend to perrito after he digs up his cape.
Still haven't heard anyone mention it. A big indicator that is 100% confirmation that the wolf is truly otherworldly is that he doesn't appear on the Dark Forest map at all when everyone else has their own symbols
I doubt death is the actual Wolf from the three pigs. I know he was advertised this way, but probably cause they don’t want us to know yet what he actually is, He pretty much establishes itself being the personifications and representation of death. Shreks bad wolf is definitely also the three pigs wolf cause Of his ability to blow strong.
The one from Shreck seems to be from both stories tho. Since he is literally in grany's cloting but also can blow super hard and seems to have a connection to the pigs.
another detail ive noticed about death is that during the scene when puss defeats him, he walks away through the fire unharmed. it symbolizes how death will always be around and could be never defeated.
I just noticed that the horses on the pumpkin carriage were unicorns- cuz look at just how the hirns are cut off if you paused it in time at around 12:26. Perhaps THEY were the baby unicorns that Jack took the horns from- Poor babies
My wife and I watched this with our 9 year old. This review is spot on. I don't like animated movies typically, and only watch them with the family. This movie was great.
Dude this is a super high quality video. You deserve a lot more subs than what you have now. I subbed just because this is actually very well made and I can tell you poured your heart and soul into it,great job.
Wolf is referencing Gaunter O’Dimm and Geralt’s interaction in the sense G.O.D is a being that even the most mightiest “hero” can’t beat but settle with. They used that with Puss and Death. Even the fact death had a tune just like G.O.D does. I haven’t seen anybody else referenced this but it’s so obvious!!!!
Also in the scene in Jacks house is Kitty hanging on a wooden water-wheel with her Mmini-sword cause in the first film she said that she has no claws. So she can't hang there with her pure hands.
Small correction at around 6:00 - The poster of Cerberus utilizes the skeleton of a Chihuahua, not a cat. Cats have longer tails and a longer, more flexible spine. Additionally, at 6:07, the skeleton you couldn't identify is a foot and lower shin of some kind of giant. At 18:00, the "statue" on the front of the ship is a reference to mermaids being carved onto the front of old sailing ships, except this one is of the governor as a merman. Thanks for the video!
Not sure if someone mentioned it but when you told us about the last S in boot(S) being different and related to Death's weapon it is also the 9th letter, if you don't count the "in" from Puss (IN) Boots, showing Puss on his last life too.
3:18 , I have a good ear for rhythm so I noticed it quickly and the first thing I said to my brother was : They should make a rhythm game about this XD
Also another detail that might have gone unnoticed: the reason the Wolf uses sickles as his weapon is because it's the thing other than a scythe that's also used for reaping, without giving away his true identity too early.
7:15 Puss has 8 empty cups of milk, and is drinking his ninth. This references to his 8 deaths and that now he is on his ninth. Death appears holding an empty cup. (7:33) puss is shown in the reflection of the empty glass (I won't go further, because he also fills the glass and drink... I'm not sure if there is something symbolic or is it just a stretch)
Very well made video, loved how you searched for all the details. You definitely earned my subscribe 🥳 Here are 5 other references that I think are worthy of note : 1) at the end of the first encounter with Death, the wolf says "corre corre gatito", meaning "run run little kitty". It is referenced at the last fight where Puss counters wolf's lethal assault with the tiny blade given by Softpaws, which Puss baptised as "gatito blade" => the little kitty has grown up and is striking back to Death, which we see a somewhat surprised face right after Puss' gatito blade quote, which could further indicate this reference. Also, the little cat head on the handle of the gatito blade could also be a reference to the 8 crossed little cat heads on the sickle of Death, as this 9th one don't want to be crossed, without a fight that is. 2) speaking of which, "say hello to my gatito blade" is a reference to "say hello to my little friend" from the movie Scarface, with the little friend here being the litteral little kitty dagger. 3) the whistle of Death is the same the whole movie, except at the end when he leaves after his defeat. The whistle seems less ominous, more joyful, or more hopeful? 4) at the beginning of the bar scene, Puss says "I am Puss in boots, I am no lap cat", then proceed to lap his glass of milk 😁 5) at the end of the giant's fight, Puss comes back for an encore with a "you're still here?". At the very end of the end credits, you can hear Puss' voice talking to the audience : "Oh, you're still here?"
Trick is, the Big Bad Wolf from Shrek was BOTH the Little Red Riding Hood wolf, and the Three Little Pigs wolf. In Shrek 2, he huffs and puffs to blow away Fairy Godmother. But I, like probably most people, forgot that role was already filled in the Shrek universe, and so assuming Death was the BBW was a lovely extra mislead.
In the scene where Puss realizes that the wolf chasing him is no ordinary bounty hunter, and the wolf confirms this by saying he's Death, the cracks in the crystal around his face actually form the image of the skull of a wolf before shattering.
The thing is... Wolf (Death) could also be a subtile reference towards Anubis since Anubis has to do loads of things with death in the Egyptian mythology. (same as his weapons sort of ressemble an egyptian scythe, an Chepesch sort of in style.)
18:01 I like this take on Jack Horner’s death but i think it could also be a reference to him sticking his thumb into a pie. The terminator connection is definitely there though and I love that
I watched this yesterday its brings back so much of my child hood memories the jokes cameo from the pib 1 got me rolling on the floor, this movie is really a masterpiece.
Another thing I noticed was that every time Death showed up, it was preceded with a whistle, but when Goldilocks and the three bears attacked Mama Luna’s house, We saw what looked like Death’s silhouette outside the window, but it wasn’t preceded by whistling, signifying ahead of the reveal that it wasn’t Death that time.
8:58 correction the wolf in shrek is the one from the 3 little pigs hence why the 3 pigs are also around him. and 2 I have a theory the wolf (Death) is actually from the story of "the boy who cried wolf"
You missed one: when puss is drinking in the bar, you here the bell in the background ring 8 times, after it rings the final eighth time, the chandelier candle goes out, referencing that death is here to take his last life.(the bell ringing 8 references each of pusses 8 deaths)
4:52 If you pause the video and look at one of the pictures of the scores at the top of the roof you are actually seen a wolf school probably represent bling death
I noticed one problem with this video. Big Bad is the big bad wolf in both the three little pigs and little red riding hood. You can tell by various references throughout the movies. The way the pigs interact with him and in the clip you used, Wolf holding a magazine with a pig on the cover. Death is just death depicted as a hunter of souls, setting his sights on his prey and never looking away just like a wolf.
One thing that I noticed. In the scene of Wolf first appearance, Puss drinks a milk at the bar, there is 8 already empty glasses symbolizing his 8 lives has already been taken and he holds 9th glass full of milk - his last life
theres also a detail that i saw the fact that during the fight with the giant we can hear the bell ring 8 times the last one being his last life (bell falling on him) the amount of details like this in this movie is incredible !
If you noticed, When they were at the final battle against Big Jack and each other, they all saw and heard Death. A theory of which meant that all of them were close to dying. This meant that there were two paths that everyone at the moment were about to face. One reality is that Big Jack actually got his wish and killed everyone. Thee other ending is the ending that we got in the movie where everyone realized that their wish was in front of them all along, preventing Jack from getting his wish, and getting the chance to live which is why Death left the scene.
