Featured under the placard “Mother Goose Tales,” “Puss in Boots” is internationally known character. The puss in boots also appears in the third act of Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Sleeping Beauty,” and many other media appearances.
The online movie review service, Rotten Tomatoes, revealed that early movie critics graded “Puss in Boots” with 7.1 points out of 10.
“For quick, lively, family friendly entertainment, ‘Puss in Boots’ works just fine, even in 3-D, which is integrated thoughtfully into the narrative and doesn’t just feel like a gimmick,” wrote Christy Lemire from The Associated Press via Rotten Tomatoes.
Lemire added in the long form review that the film is rated PG in lieu of “some adventure action and mild rude humor.”
Drew McWeeny from HitFlix wrote: “It is a very still film, a big adventure movie, and surprisingly effective.”
In a mixed review from MSN Movies, Glenn Kenny wrote: “…simple, sincere, and largely innocent.”
