But if she didn't show up, how would she know he didn't show up either, and why would she be so mad at him, specifically for that event? I believe she lied, to try and make him get over his regret of hurting her by basically saying 'You didn't really hurt me'.

I love this movie for taking brave steps for a DreamWorks movie Portraying panic attacks realistically Having 3 villains: A sympathetic one, a fub irredeemable one, and a unstoppable force of nature Lowering the frame rate for fights And most importantly having British characters WITHOUT James Cordon

[@Ben_Kimber]

Calling Death a villain seems a bit inaccurate. A villain is a character that is evil in both actions and motivations. It is a type of antagonist. But an antagonist is not always a villain. Sometimes, an antagonist is just someone who opposes the protagonist and causes conflict within the main character, and is not necessarily evil. Death is neither good nor bad. It is a force of nature. An absolute inevitability. He hunts Puss because he didn't value any of his lives and lacks humility, but stops the hunt when he realizes that Puss has come to value his last live and gained some humility.

@@Ben_Kimber I can't help but disagree with this take. Do I think Death is as much of a villain as Jack just cause they both want to murder someone? No. But I still think Death qualifies as a villain because even though death is an inevitable force of nature, Death is trying to purposefully cut short someone's life because they annoyed him. Had there been a different motivation, I'd consider not calling him a villain. But because he's acting out of spite (I'm probably using that right, idk I can't think of a better word), I'd have to argue that he's a villain; that's literally the only thing holding me back: the fact that he wants to kill Puss early for not valuing his own lives. An honorable one since he does back off at some point, but a villain nonetheless (though obviously when Puss's 9th life does come to an end Death would not be classified as a villain).

[@phantasticgoose]

Perrito’s path being the “easiest” is probably somewhat thematic to his backstory too, even beyond just his having no wish and being an extremely optimistic person. Pocket Full of Posies - the nursery rhyme is a reference to the black death. Additionally, you have to stop and smell the roses to get through - you can’t breathe when you’re underwater and in a sock. The man-eating flowers are also a pretty good sign, imo, that Perrito knows the world can be horrible and scary. He just chooses to believe in the good things regardless. (EDIT: He probably knows his owners tried to kill him, and is coping by framing it as a funny story and focusing on what positives he can see from the situation). EDIT2: If you think about it, the solution being to just “stop and smell the roses” is also relative to enjoying life. The more you rush in search of things, the more obstacles you run into. If you just take things at your own pace, you’ll come across an easy solution to those obstacles. There’s no need to rush through Life. River of Relaxation - like the one his owners tried to drown him in. EDIT2: Again indicative of how Perrito sees no reason to rush through life. They just drift along the river and experience no issues. There is a clear destination, so it’s not aimless, but it’s also not frantic. Field of Quick and Easy Solutions - Considering how the other two can be read as dark references to his backstory, the quickest and “easiest” (it’s not easy at all but it’s easy to see it as that most of the time) solution to all problems is to die. In other words, suicide. But we never see the field, probably thematically because Perrito is so positive that those kinds of thoughts never occurred to him. EDIT2: It also ties into the idea of appreciating life. We never go into the field of quick and easy solutions because Perrito doesn’t need any. He lives and is happy living, so he doesn’t stress over finding the quickest and easiest solution possible to anything. He’s just vibing, man. Always looking for optimal solutions 100% of the time ruins the vibe.

[@JamesDavy2009]

The River also symbolises the River Styx.

[@DeeGeeG]

It's also representative of the characters heart. He got the easiest path cause he was easily the most pure character in the movie.

[@phantasticgoose]

As a separate thing to add, each character can be seen as having different things that keep them from really living. Puss - Living in fear of death, never being able to really “live” because of that fear. Kitty - Trying to go through life alone, unable to really “live” because of fear of betrayal. Goldi - Stuck in the past and on surface appearances. Unable to really “live” because she’s constantly thinking of how things should be. Jack - Greed and Selfishness. Unable to “live” because he never grows out of his obsession with material advantages, and lack of any connection to anyone else because he just doesn’t care. Of course, the one exception is Perrito, who lives mostly in the moment and actively seeks out connections with others. He doesn’t think too much about his impending death, he has no particular fixation on material things, he has no hang-ups with his past… he’s just happy. …well, Death himself is an exception, but he’s Death lol. He’s always there, and he always wins no matter what.

4:18 ANTAGONIST. He is not the villain. Jack is the villain. Wolf drives the plot and the protagonist's actions (antagonist). Jack is evil (villain), but doesn't drive the story in any meaningful way. Most movies combine the roles of villain and antagonist to help the audience root against them. They don't need to do that in this case, as everyone in the audience can personally relate to the fear of death. Thus, the Big Bad Wolf can be portrayed as a morally neutral character, even a principled one, while still remaining the antagonist. He loses his role as the antagonist when Puss no longer lets his fear of death control him, but Wolf himself is just as scary as ever.

[@acorn_acrom]

I feel like Death can be an antag OR a villain. Goldie is more of an antag than Death is. But Death was actually acting out of his _own_ desires. Even the plot calls him out for "cheating" by trying to kill Puss before it's his rightful time to die. And he only tries to kill him because he felt insulted. He also took sadistic pleasure in causing Puss trauma and fear, taking his sweet time to mess with him on _purpose_ , until he got mad at himself for taking too long because Puss changed as a person. Death genuinely wanted Puss dead, just because he had his feelings hurt. He's even got a weird vendetta/grudge against cats as a species just because they have get 9 lives. Death is questionable. While he has the moral sense to let Puss live, and he ONLY cared about Puss and no one else, it can't be denied his actions were for selfish reasons. It wasn't Puss' time to die, but Death let himself get bothered by Puss' antics and ended up wanting to kill him off early anyway. Death lacked patience and self control, he "played with his food". He enjoyed Puss' anxiety and struggling with no remorse, and the only reason he let him live was because Puss gave him no more reason to take his life. It wouldn't be satisfying for Death to kill him knowing Puss changed.

He had no humiliating defeat, Death CHOSE to back down and Puss accepted he'd never defeat him for good, but didn't have to die just yet.

[@duduvec5971]

Some people see real death as a villain, there is nothing that can be done about that.

[@duduvec5971]

@@danielkiran8174 If you rewatch the film, All the momments death appeared were momments where puss could have died. Overdose on milk/cream, a fight, putting a target on his head by stealing the wish scroll. The reason death was there is because he felt death was catching up to him and not because death wanted to kill him ahead of time.

Seeing Welchy genuinely love this movie made me so happy. What a fantastic film. We need more movies like this.

[@Stratelier]

The best detail about Death's "I was there" is that if you rewatch Puss's fight with the giant, during the shot of the crowd doing "the wave" you can actually spot Death standing behind the crowd, in the shadows between buildings.

[@misterfister5810]

Here’s another clever thing I found out about Lobo (death) The melody he whistles lasts up to 9 seconds, and he only whistles this song when he’s getting close to puss, who death tries to take away his 9th life

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

🤯

[@RigoOXx]

Not only that, the whistle has 8 notes... The 8 lives he took from Puss. But at the end, when he leaves after fighting him, he breaks the 2nd note into 2 different notes, making it 9...

Dreamworks just does not fall short with sequels. Honestly, they’re slowly breaking the sequel curse

[@ameliastrait]

I saw this movie in full for the first time last night and honestly, the panic attacks were done so well. The way Dreamworks were able to portray the heart thumping and the overwhelming fear made me so glad to see that I'm not alone in my panic attacks, and the simplicity of the help Puss received. I know when I have panic attacks the best way someone can help is lean against me and give me a bit of a hug, so I was overjoyed (as sad and scary as the moment was) to see how they portrayed. Congrats Dreamworks again

[@smartpuff7389]

This reaction was absolutely fantastic, this movie is _so good_ - as a cool detail, if you go back to that scene during the first fight where the crowd moves like a wave, in the top left near the white wall you can actually see Death watching Puss (in this vid, the timestamp is 2:25 right on the second)

[@rommix0]

And you can faintly hear his whistle before puss is crushed by the bell.

[@mastermoonlightvariety]

It still warms my heart that he says Perro at the start and then slowly calls him Perrito. 🥰 Although it's a sneaky funny too. Lol

I went to the theaters to watch this movie with my daughter and it was fantastic. The animation during the action scenes was beautifull and the villain was terrifying. 10/10 will absolutely watch again.

[@Embersinthewinter]

Been waiting for this one, yeah 🎉! So many things I want to say about this movie but for now: Might be my favourite animated movie of 2022 (of course there’s Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio to consider soooo idk) As a character who initially looked to be the comic relief annoying sidekick, Perrito was lowkey the MVP of the movie I’m curious as to when people realise who the wolf actually is. My mum knew it immediately when he appeared, I only started to figure it out when he put the coins on his eyes in that one scene, and for some reason my dad completely missed it even after the cave scene 😂

[@47ratsinahoodie]

Perrito was definitely the best. He was one of the things I worried about most when it came to this movie and boy was I happy to have my concerns shot down

[@maicey_t.]

I knew he was death before seeing the movie, but I WISH I hadn't. I wonder how much better the reveal would have been if I hadn't known.

[@RhetoricalThrill]

I just assumed he was Death immediately, but I couldn’t tell you why. On the second watch I realized it was meant to be a surprise but for whatever reason I just knew it.

What I love about this reaction is it feels very different to every other reaction video I’ve seen and I think the reason for that is because Welchy had relatively low expectations going in yet we see him become genuinely surprised by how good the film is before he ends up fully appreciating it by the end

Great movie. Death was perfect, everyone's performances were top notch. I especially like the fact that after scolding Puss for not valuing his lives, Death lets him live once he sees he values this one. And everyone learned something from Perrito. Truly a movie for all ages. Teaches about friendship and valuing life. Also the fact that an adoptive family is still your family when you love and care for each other. Another thing, the animation is absolutely beautiful and all the little details are just great. I am really very glad I watched it. Once the blu ray comes out, I'm buying it.

[@СарраКарагозян]

Goldie and the bears are some of my all time favorite side characters. Idk why, i just really love them. Also, goldies hair is styled to resemble bear ears and thats so cute 😭❤ Also Death is INCREDIBLE. everytime I heard that whistle, I got chills. Idk if it was because he reminded me of the "smile dog creepypasta" or if it was just the way he was portrayed, but he was terrifying. I love that he wasnt defeated in the end, Puss accepts the fact that death WILL take him one day. But he will fight as long as he can. UGH AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ANIMATION. this entire movie took my breath away, from the opening scene, till the last one, it was spectacular. I wish i could watch it for the first time again. 11/ 10 this movie was AMAZING. I see why everyone is talking about it now 😂

Also there’s a version of Goldilocks and the three bears where they almost eat her?! I mean that does make more sense since they’re wild animals but I’ve never heard that version before.

DEATH IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST VILLAIN EVER CREATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

So, Welchy isn't a furry, but he was making eyes at buff Puss, and called Lobo hot. The fact that he thinks the living embodiment of Death is hot... I'm gonna have to quote Mittens, from Bolt... "Now I'm concerned on a number of levels."

[@HTTYD_fan287]

Little easter egg: when Puss is thrown through the buildings by the giant at the start, drinks the coffee and runs out, when the crowd is doing the wave you can see Death just watching him from a doorway. So he was actually there every time Puss died.

[@YukoValis]

I was so worried they would end that panic attack scene with an attempt at humor. Like perrito trying to get puss to rub his stomach or something. That would have ruined it. But no they played it exactly how it really is. How a therapy dog actually helps you. It is a scene that relates to so many people, and that is far more important than any kind of cheap laugh.

[@blackwhiteartistry733]

There's more than that though. When Perrito said he's a "therapy dog", my initial thought was... well, the normal type of therapy dog. But the movie uses the other meaning. "Therapy dog" in the context of this movie also means a dog that is a therapist, and that's exactly what we see Perrito doing. Multiple times throughout the movie, he comes out with these pieces of wisdom or insight that might be similar to what a therapist would say, and I think it's really neat.

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

I must say that Puss in Boots 2 did such a great job explaining anxiety. When I saw Puss having a panic attack, I felt sad for him because I know how it feels. Your heart’s racing, you’re running out of breath, you can’t feel your body, and everything is just so painful! But then of course help is on the way. I know it may sound crazy…but there’s also another film that depicts anxiety very well in PAW Patrol: The Movie. Chase had a fair share of his anxiety of Adventure City. So, when they had to go there to stop Mayor Humdinger’s madness, when there was a Humdinger Hyperloop train coaster made and the passengers were trapped on there, Chase tried to save them, but realizing it was way too high, that’s when they depicted a panic attack VERY well! I’m not gonna lie, I love the movie and I felt very bad for Chase when he had that panic attack. Normally you’d think it would be a dog basically cowering in fear, but when you get reality distortion, sounds fading and a heartbeat speeding up frantically, that’s when Chase has that panic attack. It’s also kinda funny when you think about it, a movie based on a Nick Jr show does as better as Puss at panic attacks than something that’s supposed to be for adults but failed (Velma)! There’s also another to name in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3. In one of Rocket’s flashbacks, when he frees Lylla, the High Evolutionary blasts her dead with a blaster, Rocket is wailing over this, and Floor begins having a panic attack while yelling “ROCKET, TEEFS, FLOOR, GO NOW!!!” over and over again. That broke my heart. As somebody who sometimes has panic attacks, it’s safe to say Velma lost!
