Is DEATH the BEST VILLAIN? *Puss in Boots: The Last wish* 

What did you think of this movie?! Full length reactions: www.patreon.com/SebScreen

Antonio Banderas had a heart attack several years ago that almost caused a sequel not to get made. The plot they came up with was ultimately very meaningful and important to Banderas as a result.

Deaths rant translates to “WHY THE HELL DID I PLAY WITH MY FOOD”

Neat little detail: Nobody got the wish because they all confessed their wish, thus breaking the birthday wish rule.

“I’m Death. Straight. Up.” In terms of writing, line delivery and just overall coldness - not sure I’ve heard a better line in an animated movie, ever.

I love that the only way to “beat” death is to accept it will come no matter what and make the most of the time you have.

Death was the best character in the entire film. He carries this weight throughout the whole movie, elecating everything and leaving such a big impression, even with what little screen time he has. Best Dreamworks villain since Lord Shen.

I love how this movie doesn't have ONE BAD CHARACTER, everybody is just right

Yup, Little Jack Horner's a pretty old and obscure nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner, sat in the corner Eating a Christmas pie Stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum And said 'what a good boy am I!' " Pretty cool how they worked in it's obscurity into his backstory

fun fact what death yells at the end is "why do you start playing with your food?" Hes mad that he let puss in boots have time to get character development 😂

I love how Dreamworks kept their cards close to the vest by having Death featured VERY sparingly in the trailer and even then making it look like he was some above-average scary henchman and bounty hunter (literally said in the trailer). I and just about everybody else going to see this had NO expectation that they were gonna go this hard to the point where it was creeping US out and not just the kids

Whoever’s idea it was to have the Cricket just be a Jimmy Stewart impression is an absolute comedic genius. The entire character of Big Jack feels like an allegory for Disney itself, started out innocent but grew mad with power and greed. He buys up all the magical items he can get his hands on and his ultimate wish is to own all magic in the world. SOUND FAMILIAR??? Really brings this series back to its roots as a massive middle finger to the Mouse.

It’s absolutely crazy to me that 58 year old Antonio Banderas’ best work is an animated cat💀

Something I love about his death scene in the beginning is that bell tolling represents death, and the bell tolls 7 times, then it lands on him for the 8th, killing him. Each toll of the bell representing one of his lives that has been lost. Really cool detail I think.

The rough translation of The Wolf's Spanish rant at the end ("¿Por qué diablos fui a jugar con mi comida?") is "Why the hell did I go and play with my food?!" He could've killed Puss at any time, but was taking the time to torment him because he _really_ doesn't like him. But because he took all that time, _Puss_ had more than enough time to find value in living his last life.

Death can be seen from even before the bar. During the fight with the giant while the crowd was making a wave in a dark corner you can see him, and in the cards counting Boots deaths there's a wolf in the design. He really was there all the time.

Honestly it makes more sense Goldi feeling out of place when you rewatch and see how much Baby Bear teases her for being an orphan. I think that’s why he was the one chosen to reveal her wish. Narratively, it makes sense.

Goldis outfit and appearance is meant to show how she's been raised by the bears. Her hair looks like bear ears, her earrings are mismatched like Mama Bear, the necklace and her eyes are the same as Baby Bear's, and the scars over her eyebrow match Papa Bears missing eye

this movie surprisingly helped me and my girlfriend. we have both been suffering from death focused trauma. we decided to go watch this together, and were shocked to see how fitting the theme was with the outlook of death and living your life. not to mention, death is such a badass villain

I don’t understand why people call Goldi a b**ch, she was just going after what she thought was going to make her happy, she may have not seen what she already had but she’s a teenager that learned what she wanted, and the family genuinely loves her, they still wanted to get her the wish because it would make her happy even if after the wish came true they weren’t in her life anymore but that love was still going to be there, the choice was Goldi’s to make and she readjusted her values at the end. Calling Goldi outright evil is just wrong

This Wolf was so amazing from beginning to end, he stole every scene he was in, such a menacing, chilling presence! He was my favourite character in this whole movie (along with Perrito, this little marshmallow is perfect).

I like how Jack basically has every fairytale item in a room or on a shelf

Perrito is the absolute sweetest! When Puss is having a panic attack and Perrito laid his little head on his chest, my eyes definitely got a little misty.

The final ending scene as the Shrek theme song comes up, I couldn’t help but smile and get chills🔥

I loved Wagner Moura's voice for death. The character is ominous enough on it's own, add in the whistling and the soft, threatening voice, yep... There you have it, something memorable. Add in Banderas and holy shit, that's a MOVIE.

The whistle still give me goosebumps 😳

I knew you wouldn’t recognize that Goldi is voiced by Florence Pugh because she doesn’t have her Yelena accent

In the Italian version Morte, when he officially introduces himself, does not say "I'm Death. Straight up", but says "Sono la Morte dura e pura" (I am the hard and pure Death).

"Don't take your kids to this movie" They've got learn that death comes for us all early, set in that existential dread while they're young

Antonio Banderas, voice actor of Puss, literally fought death too after his heart attack incident. "I know I can never defeat you, Lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life"

I took my 5yo daughter and my 10 yo nephew to see this in theaters ... they loved it and Death was their favorite character. And believe me on the big screen he is even more intimidating.

Death has the voice of a brazilian actor called Wagner Moura and he got the Annie Awards (animation oscar) for his voice. He is amazing!

There’s no way Sebscreen called this a Disney movie 30:49… this is dreamworks! Sherk is dreamworks! How to train your dragon and Kung fu panda is dreamworks! Im dying on the inside 😭

Hints for the wolves identity as Death: 1. The whistle. Death is known for giving the deceased a sense of ease before he claims their souls 2. The random appearances. He always shows up out of nowhere without making a sound. 3. Tapping the Dead on Puss’ wanted poster. Symbolizing why he is there to see Puss. 4. The coins. In his second appearance he puts coins on his eyes, they make him look like a dead person. In Ancient Greek condition people would put golden drachmas on the eyes of the dead before entombing them, thus they can pay Charon to depart into the underworld.

I wouldn't say that Death was a villain in this movie, but rather, just like the Ghost of Christmas Future was to Scrooge, a terrifying wakeup call that got the main protagonist to realize what truly mattered. Death's purpose is to clear away the old so that new life can come forth. Eventually we're all going to die one day, and that's fine. That's why you live life each day to the fullest. When you've lived a life worth living, you'll be able to walk up to Death, shake hands and say, "How do you do?" We're not guaranteed tomorrow; so live right now.

Perrito is the best dog! I kept laughing tho bc I know his voice actor, Harvey Guillen, mostly from his role in the TV show What We Do In The Shadows, where he's a vampire's familiar (adult comedy show, very funny )

All Death [ Big Bad Wold ] scenes: 2:39 In the Back of People 4:28 His First meeting with Puss in Boots 4:53 Yes, weapons 5:09 I just love the smell of FEAR! 5:12 Pick it...up 12:00 Be Careful what you wish for.. 18:38 18:42 Watch out.. Death is watching 24:06 Life of *FEAR* 24:21 Yes, he is DEATH 24:26 And he didn't mean methaphorically, rhetorically or poetically of theoretically or any other fancy way...He is *DEATH*....straight....up 27:13 Final scene 28:09 SPANISH WORDS 28:19 But I don't see him anymore... I see that the movie is trying to give us the attention of the Puss in Boots, It wants us to avoid fears and to not give up on anyhting! I think this was the best movie that I have ever watched!

I love how Jack’s 2D villainy is just the whole gag with his character. Yeah he’s just evil for the sake of being evil, but it’s done in a way that makes him super enjoyable to watch rather than boring.

Fun fact: the horses that carried Jack Horners carriage were actually the baby unicorns that Jack took the horns from. He kept them after de-horning them to pull his carriage

I just realized on this viewing that the reason Death didn't find Puss at the cat lady's house is because as sad as he was, Puss was following death's lesson and valuing the time he has. It's only after he really commits to another risky outlaw/hero gig that Death reappears and continues the chase. Really good stuff, really tight writing.

“How do you beat death?” That’s the thing you DON’T! You can cheat death, defy death, escape death but at the end death is inevitable it comes to us all

4:05 "Death comes for us all" Nice foreshadowing, I see what you did there DreamWorks 😉

17:48 If we're going by real life cat genetics, the sons would be ginger tabbies like their dad and the daughters would be tortoiseshells or calicoes

again...WOLF ISN'T A VILLAIN, HE IS JUST DOING HIS JOB!!!

Fan of Seb here, but It feels like a nice breath of fresh air seeing Seb not hating a movie the whole time like the last reaction😂❤

I've literally rewatched this movie way more than I'd ever even consider rewatching..... It is truly and incredibly great work of art... Truly remarkable.

i just watched the movie and i got goosebumps every single time "DEATH" showed up

i watched this at the cinema with my best friend, everyone around us: less than 10 year olds with their parents my best friend and i went out of it: god that movie was way too dark for a childrens movie but also so amazing and the animation was so good as well the kids arround us just all excited and happy

You should try the Bad Guys, came out just before puss in boots and has the stylised animation as well. It follows the classic heist genre and is super fun

I didn’t think I would enjoy a kids movie yet I did this film was amazing.

The Bad Guys (the previous DreamWorks film) also has a really nice art style and animation design.

Just got home a few minutes ago from this movie. Such a thrilling and exciting piece of cinema about a stabby tabby cat. The amount of laughs and chills i got during this film is unimaginable and finding this more intriguing then Avatar says something. Possibly one of the most enjoyable dreamworks movies since Bad guys, Megamind, and Shrek 2.

My god until I looked it up I didn’t know Florence Pugh (Yelena) was Goldie, her performance is absolutely incredible.

Hi seb, i believe the movie "bad guys" also had this reduced frame rate but not only for fight scenes. I believe bad guys is also a movie you would enjoy reacting to!:)

Every time I hear his whistle, I also did chills

I need a whole movie about Death. But not some big arc where he gets to be a normal wolf- legit a story about him collecting souls lol it’s drastic but it would be fun, making a story about the souls he’s collecting and then the “villain” wins. Except death comes for all and that’s not necessarily evil just something people fear instead of accepting the cycle of life. The wolf out here stealing the movie “why did I play with my food” the fun thing is he probably speaks in different dialects and languages depending on which soul he’s collecting, so this time it’s Spanish due to Puss

Seb: "How could this film get any better?" Me: Just wait for the next two scenes with Death

I agree, Perrito does not have the face of a Jeff 😌😂

"The bad guys" and "Rise of the Guardians" are two Dreamworks movies that I absolutely adore. I would love to see your reaction on them 😊 The Bad Guys has a similar art style to Puss in boots.

Something that always struck me is that the giant he fought in the beginning has around here similar to an ogre. That lead me to believe that the two races might be distantly related, and it also reminds me of a line from the first film. “ he’ll grind your bones for his bread. Actually, that would be a giant .”

I guess the only plus side of watching the first Puss in Boots film is seeing the development of his and Kitty's relationship. Back then they were all about flirting with each other, secretive and seductive. And they ended the movie with the two still being flirty (ya know, suave style). So seeing Kitty in this movie again and finding out that not only have they dated but ALMOST GOT MARRIED?! Dios mio, If I could squeeze my heart, I would. Like, you liked them as a couple in the first film, and enjoyed their moments with each other, also the open-ended relationship, and then you see them in this sequel, wondering what's got them in this sort of tension but also you notice that they're closer with each other in a familiar, homey way. No longer flirting, but there's a sense of comfort between them, specifically in physical advances (something that I'd notice to couples who have already spent a long time with each other irl).

This may be the best animated piece of... anything that I have ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal.

I was waiting Sebastian.

If this is still in theaters, you should go watch it again. The death scenes have a really strong beat in the subwoofer that lines up with the heart beat, it makes your heart race as fast as Puss. You honestly can't tell if it's your heart pounding or the audio track

Into the spider verse heavily inspired the animation style i'm pretty sure the same studio worked on this

As someone who's British, I am actually glad that they got VA's to talk how most british people sound like and not some posh ass voice that you'd hear from a 1900's movie

So, another classic by DreamWorks is "The Prince of Egypt." It came out in 1998, so the animation is older, but I promise, it still holds up. Every character is well-written, the soundtrack was composed by Hans Zimmer, and the cast includes Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. Please, PLEASE react to it. At least watch it on your own time, it's an underrated masterpiece.

Greatest cinematic masterpiece Of Our Time

I cannot decide my favourite part of this movie cause it feels like every moment and animation in this movie is at roof level

Recently a lot of studios have been experimenting a lot with their animation and The Bad Guys and Mitchels vs machines have one good animation and just good movies

If anyone is wondering what death said in Spanish at the end there he said “why the hell did I play with my food”

Jack: I was worried to come out naked but my clothes grew too Seb: Does something else grow? Me: HAHAHAHA!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i love how you got goosebumps from the wolf long before he was revealed to be death.

If you didn't know why Puss In Boots was scared is that no one actually attacked him with a weapon, and he also just realized how much value his life is.

Ok, when Perrito started roasting Baby bear and he went of the rails and they had to bleep most of what he said, I literally spit my drink out. 🤣🤣🤣

I still love seeing death in the crowd in the beginning every time before we got introduced.

24:07 bro this was still the scariest thing I’m seen in a kids movie💀 Like I love how they made his voice more demonic when he says “FEAR👹”

Wagner Moura is the voice behind the Wolf (Death) 🇧🇷💖

The music of death the wolf is so chilling. Like it actually made me scared. That tune is so scary especially because it’s the only thing your hearing.

A detail I noticed about Death fighting Puss at the end. His best weapon was when he had the staff. Of course the grim reaper is best with a hook on a staff.

The Shrek and Puss in Boots franchise is the only one I actually prefer to watch dubbed because the LATAM Spanish dub is genuinely so good and creative As opposed to other movies just translating everything into a fake neutral Spanish version, they add character playing with accents and changing jokes to actually made them fit and be funny Of course Antonio Banderas does his voice too, maintaining the essence of the character, but the changes made to others just make sense for the audience, like the strong accent of Golden Locks and the Bears turning into an Argentinian accent, it makes it feel more real than most dubs Long rant, but I just love this movie

I think I found your channel a week ago and it has already become one of my favorites love your reactions

2:35 I have a splinter from when I was a kid! Like over 20 years and was told by my mom "It'll work its way out" and it never did... my skin just grew around it and I can still SEE it under the skin in my hand!

SebScreen if your wandering what the wolf says 28:06 when puss said pick it up he says “ why on earth did I play with my food”

"*beep* for brains" surprised the crap out of me but it's one of my fav jokes in the films

I wouldn't really call him a villian more so than an antagonist. He's not evil, he is just doing his job and on top of that, his actions are somewhat justifiable.

2:39 you can actually see death in one of the holes behind the crowd

8:15 I bursted out laughing when he just started talking like a regular British person and then realized who it was

I loved this movie so much!!!

I saw this movie today in the cinema. It was absolutely fantastic and it even made me shed a few tears!! We got the usual guy who voiced the cat in the Polish dub and it was incredible as always!! Makes me very excited for a possible Shrek 5 or PiB 3!!

Wolf: "I was there to witness all of them" Seb: "Really you killed us each time" No. Which is why he said he was a witness 😂

Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Cinderella, Death being amazing: THIS MOVIE ROCKS! I HAVE SEEN IT THREE TIMES!

Not the same animation style at all (it’s 2D) but the Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on Netflix is very similar in terms of super kinetic amazingly animated action scenes, fantastic characters, and an emotionally resonant story, so I highly recommend that one. God tier animation in that one, especially in the fight sequences.

Love your reactions man! ❤🤝

The style in this is SO GOOD! I'm so glad we're going into a newer spectrum of mixed animation and cartoon style for I think the era of Pure 3D pixar type things are ending

"Why do i get chills? Like, goosebumps all over my arm, when i hear that?" ...Death, death comes for us all..

Yesss, easily my favorite animated movie of 2022!!! Dreamworks back on top!

"He's constantly flexing his pecs like he's Captain America." You mean Cat-tain America??? ...I'm so sorry, I'll see myself out.

I saw the first one and got hooked. I couldn't wait for you to react to this.

when jack threatened to kill perrito the dog didn't even notice he did the cute eyes 😂
