Dreamworks how dare you put out a movie so good, give us a relationship so believable and heartwarming, make me cry my eyes out and get so invested in cat romance
and that panic attack scene, I will forever not be over how well they dealt with it.. he needs a hug from everyone
As someone who grew up in a household where men were never allowed to show affection, let alone to another man, from fear of being seen as weak.............
These forehead touches between friends/bros are so healing to me. Please, we need more of this. Platonic affection between men is beautiful, and I wish I had grown up with it.
One thing I really appreciate about Puss in Boots is that near the end, when Puss and Kitty decide to name Perrito, Kitty says:
And Puss replies with:
In English, this sounds a little bit janky - you would probably say "He doesn't look like a Jeff" instead. But in Spanish you would say "No tiene cara de Jeff." Which, translated word for word, means "He doesn't have a Jeff's face."
Not sure if it was intentional or not, but this little detail highlights Puss' Spanish heritage in such a subtle way that I can't help but applaud the filmmakers for it! I've seen so many native Spanish speakers make the same mistake of translating phrases word for word in order to match their Spanish counterparts, and I think it's so adorable that Puss does this too.
