Puss in Boots…and the devil mask

A few months back, Charlotte and I went to see Puss in Boots in the theater. Sadly, I think it was the last movie I actually saw in the theater, which doesn’t say much for my going out skills.

If you haven’t seen it, you must.  It follows along the lines of all the other Dreamworks movies and has a great plot and characters you can bond with. Chances are you already know Puss in Boots, but you will meet some other great characters that will steal your heart, like Kitty Softpaws and Humpty.

The movie is being put out in a 2 pack (that means your kids can be distracted while you cook dinner!) which includes the full feature length film and an extra title called The Three Diablos. A little about both:

DreamWorks Animation’s PUSS IN BOOTS Synopsis
You loved him in Shrek…now see where the one-and-only swashbuckling feline found his fame – and a very big pair of boots – in the “hilariously funny” (Associated Press) animated epic! Lover, fighter and outlaw Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas) is off on the adventure of his nine lives as he teams up with Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) for the ultimate showdown with the notorious Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris). Here’s the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend – Puss In Boots!

DreamWorks Animation’s PUSS IN BOOTS: THE THREE DIABLOS Synopsis
As the dust from his latest adventure begins to settle, Puss In Boots finds himself at a crossroads between two destinies – hero and outlaw. When a desperate princess hires Puss to recover her stolen ruby, he is reluctantly partnered with three little kittens. Adorable. Fuzzy. Deadly. The minute the mittens are off,
The Three Diablos wreak havoc on Puss’ mission to recover the stolen ruby from the notorious French thief, “Le Chuchoteur The Whisperer.” Can Puss tame these three little devils in time?

————————————————

Both movies come highly recommended from Charlotte…which in my house is the highest recommendation you can get.

She said ” The three Diablos is shorter, but it’s really cute.”

Hey, she is 7. That is her full review.

Oh, and did I mention that I have my very own Puss?

His name is Napoleon.

He is fat and lazy.

This is his best “Puss in Boots” impression:

Or..maybe this is:

Btw, he was not happy that I put this mask on him…or that I proceeded to laugh for 15 minutes.

Which was nothing compared to  how long I laughed about this:

Which got funnier the longer I left it on.

Oh, man.

That was fun.

Anyhoo.

Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

PS I checked it out on amazon, and its $15 OFF retail! Its only $19.99 for BOTH movies!

PSS Movie provided free to facilitate review from PR, but hilarity..that’s all mine.

Charlotte is scaring Phoenyx Shrekless! (closed)

Halloween is one of those holidays that kids and adults can get into alike. Aside from dressing up to anything you want and endless candy binges (I personally buy the candy I like so I can sneak some prior to October 31st…), there are also the many scary flicks that really get everyone into the mood.

And while I have already had my fill with Scream4 this week, there are much tamer Halloween movies that the little ones can cozy up to.

I doubt Charlotte would be into Jason or Freddy, kwim?

MAKE HALLOWEEN A THRILLER NIGHT WITH
TWO SPOOK-TACULARS FROM DREAMWORKS ANIMATION!

All You Need for the Perfect Fright Night, Halloween Party Double DVD Pack Includes  All-New Shrek-ed Out Parody of “THRILLER”

In Scared Shrekless, the gang gathers to celebrate Shrek’s favorite holiday: Halloween!  But instead of the usual tricks or treats, Shrek ups the ante and challenges everyone to spend the night telling scary stories—the last one to be scared Shrekless wins.  The DVD includes spooky spoofs on classics horror movies and features the voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and
Antonio Banderas.

Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space finds Susan, B.O.B., The Missing Link, and Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. dispatched as special operatives to investigate a mysterious alien presence on Halloween.  As the night unravels, innocent-looking pumpkins are revealed for what they really are – mutant aliens!  Luckily the monsters are there to smash the mutants’ wicked scheme to take over Earth.  Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space features the star-studded cast of voice talent from the original hit film including Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland and Rainn Wilson.

So when Scared Shrekless arrived with a double DVD pack of characters we already know and love, it didn’t take Charlotte and I  long time to get into the pre-movie spirit and leave Phoenyx wondering what kind of family he was born into….

This is what happens when you are a newborn and can’t say no…

Charlotte’s opinion on the Scared Shrekless 2 DVD Pack when asked if she enjoyed the movie: “YES!! Can we watch it again?”

Chris’s opinion as the daddy that sat through the movie: “This new Shrek movie is in the same tradition as the other movies and its short so you can put it on before bedtime without it taking up too much time. It was cute like the others.”

Don’t take our word for, check out the trailer yourself (and this totally warms me up for Puss in Boots!):

You can purchase Scared Shrekless on Amazon for a great price of $8.49 (and its on Prime, so free shipping) or check your local stores.
