Marco was thinking about his daughter, Harry thought Spider-Man killed his father, and Eddie had been exposed by Peter and lost his job, girlfriend, and his credibility. His anger toward Peter was already there, just further amplified by the symbiote. None of them were villains "just because", unless you want to count Eddie as being inherently evil because he was a sleazy reporter who stole and photoshopped Peter's own pictures, but you could also argue Eddie was just being what Jameson wanted: a reporter who would make Spider-Man look like the villain Jameson wanted to believe he is, which Peter would never do of his own accord.

When they went into the feud between Puss and Humpty, I figured that backstory was in one of the Shrek sequels. I'm glad it was all laid out in the Puss movie. I found the 1st Puss pretty good, so I went it with ok expectations. It really did blow me away and I cried several times (including the panic attack scene).

I’m embarrassed to say that this movie genuinely changed my life in the way of reframing a way I handled a mental break a few years ago. I had 3 parrots which I raised with all my love and care, and one of them was Cupid, my little “awkward social outcast.” He didn’t like scavenging or playing, but he simply enjoyed the presence of whoever he was hanging out by. One day I was at a very big breaking point in my life, and had a massive panic attack (the very first major one of many to come). I went downstairs, and he crawled on my shirt and onto my shoulder. I don’t usually like him on my shoulder because he gets stuck in my hair, but his big, puffy feathers against my cheek just, like… did something. Literally just like in stupid funny shoe cat sequel. I didn’t realize until I saw that scene that the physical presence of pets could genuinely play such a role in mental health. Just the fainted touch from the feathers of a bird I worked so hard keeping happy and healthy, knowing that he appreciates the company in his own bird way… dude, it changes you.

One thing I love about the wolf is how he looks terrifying in every scene he’s in, even when he’s making friendly conversation with puss you get this air of danger and malice

[@celestewoodworth5627]

I think they got that feeling in the first conversation from a combination of how he just showed up out of nowhere and how close he was. We could see Puss was alone, then the wolf is right there, directly next to him, leaning into his space, staring at him, grinning the whole time. It is unsettling, and it adds a discomforting feeling in every other scene because your first interaction it's made clear the wolf violates social norms and is also a threat.

[@Sumowning]

A few honorable mentions I'd say deserve some praise: -Perrito, despite being the typical annoying sidekick has an actual really emotional backstory where he was basically left in a box floating down the river, abandoned. Yet instead of being bitter, he just wants to help. Like he's seriously traumatized, which is not what I expect from a kid's movie. -Death (wolf), despite not having many scenes he absolutely has a constant presence and it's great. It shows him as an unstoppable force, further made clear when he effortlessly walks through the star wall that just swallowed a human. -The final scene with the fighting between puss and Death is just so well done, the little details where he uses the dagger to parry him at the last moment showing trust in his allies, to the part where he tells him to pick up his blade just like Death did to him to show he's not afraid. -Goldi wanting a proper family, despite being just side characters it felt like their story came to a satisfying emotional end.

I might be reading into it too much, but I really liked that he used the gatito blade to block the scythe that had all 8 of his past lives on it.

It has some continuity, but it is far from inaccessible or incoherent without seeing the prior film(s). They give you enough standalone development for the pre-existing characters so it can easily feel like a whole new thing. Also I absolutely LOVE how Big Jack Horner, the true villain, is in none of the film's marketing, so going in you think the Goldilocks Crime Family and Wolf are the "villains", when they are actually just a sympathetic antagonist and a sort of antihero acting in his own interest respectively.

I’ve always been unsure of how a proper family works. I remember growing up and seeing other children with their mom and dad together and their siblings in one home, and as a kid I always wanted that. Just, a *proper family* that stays put and together. Seeing how Goldi was I was immediately thrown back into that time in my life where I wish I had a “real family”, who were both my blood family and loved me. But seeing how life isn’t exactly like that, I learned that family isn’t blood. It’s built on bonds, love, and trust. I’ve built my own weird little family that I will *never* give up or wish differently. And seeing Goldi grow and slowly understand her *real* family is right in front of her eyes, that brought me to tears. I hope this makes a bit of sense to some people, and I’m sorry if it doesn’t.

It is a kids movie, I don't know when this started and when people thought it was a good idea, but Kids movies shouldn't be watered down and made safe for kids, children need to have something they fear, something that challenges them and makes them think, not just a slideshow of funny or happy pictures. People always act all shocked when they hear the original German fairy tales these stories are often based upon and how much darker and mature they are then the stories we present to the children, but I think it is important to have that.

As someone who experiences frequent panic attacks, seeing one accurately portrayed onscreen was rough, but beautiful. Watching how the characters handled it was so perfect it almost broke me. I've lost count of the times friends have made an episode worse by being overbearing with their approach. Seeing Perrito just... be there, and comfort Puss without talking, rationalizing, or asking questions was awesome. It's exactly what I need when I literally feel like I'm going to die. I don't want "help", I just need to know that someone is there, riding the wave out with me, and will be there when it's over, with no judgement. The writers that came up with this have not only obviously had their own struggles, but had the restraint, and grace to show people how a situation like this should be handled. You can't fake the raw experience of moving on from a situation where you almost, and probably should have died. It's not smooth, heroic, pretty, or fun to deal with. I hate that I love this kids movie so much compared to most other "adult" media that has been released the last few years.

One thing I like about this movie is that each antagonist is of a different breed: Goldilocks has an honest goal and is more redeemable, Jack Horner is an "irredeemable monster" who is evil just because he can, and Death isn't evil at all, he's literally just doing his job.

[@sealink129]

I love how we got 3 completely different villain tropes and somehow it actually got pulled off in an almost perfect way. You got Jack Horner, who is straight up evil like typical fairy tail/cartoon villains. There’s Goldi and the three bears who are the sympathetic villains who have an emotional backstory and are redeemed in the end, very similarly to how movie villains are typically portrayed now. And then there’s Lobo, who is a mystery for much of the movie, and is more or less doing his job, albeit before Puss’s time and with more pleasure than is necessary. And rather than being redeemed or killed at the end, he merely comes to a truce with Puss out of begrudging respect. But he’s a recreation of an enemy everyone has. Death is inevitable. At one point or another, just about everyone must come to terms with the looming threat of it creeping ever closer and decide how to cope with that and how they want to spend what time they have left. And it’s terrifying. And somehow, they managed to convey that heart pounding dread and terror in a cartoon. Honestly, props to Dreamworks. They did a phenomenal job on this movie and I hope they keep it going with their next movies.

[@someone3195]

Dude, am I the only one who was disappointed by this movie? Like, yes, it started of very well. The idea is very exciting. Animation work is innovative. But! How was it "pulled off"?? I thought that Goldi's story was completely unnecessary. Giving personality to the 3 bears was very nice and their voice acting was phenomenal. But was the moral of the story rly good?? The pink hair guy firstly had a very repulsive character design and was overpowered. Nonetheless easily defeated. Lastly, besides anything, who the fck came up with the "u ruined the fun" for death.????? I was expecting smth spectacularly smart. But I was just "oh, u ain't scared anymore and got a tiny knife? Well, I'm out then". He was such a memorable and fantastic villain, but got ruined imo. Perrito had some fun sides but his "life lessons" felt forced and insincere. Idk, why does everything need to be ab mental health, smelling the roses or smth?

[@indoraptorking9143]

@@someone3195 You misinterpreted Death's character. The whole point is that he was after Puss because he was saw just how arrogant he was and how he didn't value any of his lives or really care when he lost them. So he came after Puss because he thought that he wouldn't value his 9th life either. He left Puss at the end because as he puts it "I came here for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal but I don't see him anymore." He realized that Puss wasn't the same arrogant cat who didn't value his lives and thus there was no point in killing him then. That's why some people argue that Death isn't a villain. Your other criticisms are just your personal preference, but you got Death and basically the point of his relationship with Puss wrong.

A part of the reason why Perrito worked so well is because secretly, we all WISH we can be like Perrito, and at the same time, we wish we can be like him. Perrito's life had been pretty tough. I know that people think that Perrito didn't realize that his siblings tried to kill him, but I think he did. There's no way that Perrito wouldn't realize that, since drowning is the third most painful ways to die (#1 dying by fire, and #2 dying by hunger). No joke. It's just that Perrito decided to look at the positive of life -- surviving the ordeal. And what does he decide to do with his life? Help others by being a therapy dog. There's no way that we didn't all wish we could be like him.

@@blueflare3848 I think it ultimately does that because the map creates obstacles that will likely grant the 'wish' the holder has before they reach the star, hence the goldilocks and the three bears encountering their cabin that reminded them of being an actual family already. Likely Puss and Kitty having difficult obstacles meant their problems are far deeper and overcoming those obstacles will be required for them to get their wish in a round-about way (Kitty gets someone she could trust, Puss appreciates his last life). Perrito doesn't have any of this issue so he doesn't really care if he goes there or not so the map makes the obstacles super easy to reflect that.

@5:00 when you discuss the difference in the "combat" animation. That appears to be a deliberate stylistic choice to me. I think the idea was for dramatic action poses to have a bit more impact because they can "hold" on them for longer. Reminiscent of a comic book or anime. I don't think they would want to use that style for the whole film though, since it would be distracting during dialogue and emotional moments.
