Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale

"Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale" is a pretty long title for a 23-minute short film, but it describes accurately what this little film is about. In the center of it all is Puss in Boots (from Shrek and his own movie) and he ends up caught prisoner inside a book. There he has to go through all kinds of fantastic quests that involve dragons, evil (but hot) sorceresses and even Snow White. Several characters that you have come across in the PiB universe show up here too. It is actually an interactive short film really because in this animated video Puss keeps having the choice between two scenarios and not always the one that sounds better is the one that also turns out better (like with the Bears): Yeah many references in here to known tales like Goldilocks in the most recent mention. I thought this had many fun parts and the highlights were probably the interactions between narrator (the captor if you wanna call him like that) and Puss in Boots. Overall, it was quite funny cannot deny it and there were moments when I thought about giving it an even higher rating. And that comes from somebody who isn't even a huge PiB fan. Yet? If his other stuff is as good as this one here, this may soon change. Oh yeah, no Banderas in here, but the voice acting is pretty good without him too. Glee fans getting a treat as well. Thums up from me. Go check it out. I am not sure if Netflix/Dreamworks plan to turn this into a series or anything, but we will need to wait and see I guess. Bad for the cat as he would still be stuck in books for a long time. Godd for us though as it could be fun. I'D probably watch at some point.

An interactive new short, available on Netflix, it requires the user to control the story of Puss in Boots. At the start, the instructions tell the user to choose either the left or right directional buttons on a generic game pad. Something fun for kids, especially, but adults may be intrigued as well. During the course of the story, the user has two choices every few minutes to continue the story. There are around 10 or 11 choices the user can make. Ultimately, the goal is to help Puss in Boots escape the fairy tale book in which he is trapped. Antonio Banderas does not voice the famous feline in this adventure. That was the only downside. However, it was still fun and kids will enjoy the interaction. Thanks Netflix.
