Based on the classic fairytale by Charles Perrault, this 1988 Cannon Group production of Puss in Boots is a musical movie-tale that spurns self-imposed limitations and proposes that anything is possible with a little imagination and a firm belief in oneself. The story opens with a dying miller bequeathing his cat Puss to his youngest son Corin (Jason Connery). Corin sets out with his paltry inheritance to make a new life for himself, but is quickly besieged by strange visions of his cat Puss (Academy Award-winner Christopher Walken) taking on human form. Puss promises that all will be well if Corin will just buy him a pair of boots and, despite many misgivings, Corin buys Puss the boots and finds that they somehow enable Puss to maintain human form. The clever Puss in Boots devises a plan to ensure his master's lasting happiness, gaining access to the King (Yossi Graber) where he fancifully describes Corin as the wealthy and noble Marquis of Carabas. When the King summons the Marquis of Carabas, Corin falls in love with the Princess Vera (Carmela Marner) and struggles to somehow live up to his new title in order to win her hand in marriage. While a relatively low-budget production, the songs and dances make this version of the classic Puss in Boots fun for the entire family. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Description

Before he was a swash buckling sensation in Shrek 2, Puss in Boots was already one of the most popular storybook characters of all time, thanks to his sly schemes and fearless bravado. Screen legend Christopher Walken (Catch Me If You Can) steps into the wily feline's magical boots in this exciting live-action version of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, complete with singing, dancing and acrobatics! A dying mill owner divides his meager wealth among his sons, leaving only his beloved cat, Puss (Walken), to his youngest son Corin (Jason Connery). Initially disappointed with his four-legged bounty, Corin soon discovers that Puss is no average kitty. In fact, the cat's a brilliant strategist who concocts a daring plan to win both the king's favorand the princess' heart for his new master!

Woo hoo! It's about time!.......2007-06-08

This is perhaps Christopher Walken's favorite movie and if you had the Disney Channel in the late 80s to early 90s it might have been your first. All of the Cannon fairy tales are worth owning and this is a particular delight to Walken fans, and yes, it is kid friendly.

Christopher Walken sings, dances, and embodies cattitude in a simple yet enchanting telling of the story of a clever cat who provides for his young master's fortune. The songs are memorable without being annoying, the comedy funny enough, and ofcourse it's all about the star. Filmed in 1988 Mr Walken was still in his physical prime and full of the dance skills he would latter bring to the Weapon of Choice video.

If you were determined or lucky you had a VHS of this, an official DVD has been long awaited. This is an absolute must for anyone with Walkenitis.

Puss in Boots.......2007-01-15

The story was only average and somewhat uninteresting. I think it lacked the dramatic contrast necessary in any story and action. However, the music's instrumentation would be quite useful for teaching and testing the students' knowledge of orchestral sounds.

Christopher Walken's Greatest Performance!.......2006-05-20

Well, my favorite anyway. The legendary performer brings a classic French fairy tale to life in the Cannon Movie Tale, "Puss In Boots." The sole inheritance of a poor miller's son, Puss (Walken) leads the young man from sudden homelessness to the lap of luxury by using his cat-skill and wit and a pair of boots that make him appear human to all those around him. Together, Puss and his master deceive the king and confront a man-eating ogre in an effort to win the heart of a princess and the title of Marquis of Carabass!

"Puss In Boots" sits among the best of the nine wonderful Cannon Movie Tales, which are among the best live-action fairy tale films available to date. Sticking more closely to the original stories than the usual fare, "Puss In Boots" and the other Cannon tales mix in simple but fun-filled songs with fantastic casts and writing that blends realism and fantasy seamlessly. "Puss In Boots" may be less fairy and more tale than the others, but the clever story and magical and magnificent performance of Christopher Walken as the singing and dancing cat make it a must see! It's so terrific that these childhood favorites many of us remember from the Disney Channel's 1980's and early 90's glory are finally available on DVD (most of them at least). The DVDs include trailers (not sure if these films ran anywhere theatrically), and most (including Puss) are presented in fullscreen format. The Cannon Movie Tales are mostly family fun, though be warned that some can have their scary moments (for example, "Red Riding Hood," my favorite, is done as a werewolf story that at times may be a bit frightening). The other Cannon Movie Tales, all of which I highly recommend, are: Rumpelstiltskin, The Emperor's New Clothes, Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast, The Frog Prince, and Sleeping Beauty. Those last two have not yet been released to DVD, and I have yet to see Rumpelstiltskin at any retail stores, though Amazon seems to carry it. I wish to get them all, but currently only own my favorites: Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Puss In Boots, and Hansel and Gretel. Fairy tale fanatics should own all these films, and I also highly recommend my top favorites, the Disney animated versions. Also, for a scarier version of Snow White, pick up the outstanding, "Snow White: A Tale of Terror," starring the beautiful Monica Keena. More recommendations: Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre collection (also best known from the Disney Channel airings), Shrek and Shrek 2, The Slipper and the Rose (for a live-action Cinderella), Ever After (another live-action Cinderella), The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996), Peter Pan (2003), The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, and Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1965) among others!

Cannon Movie Tales Finally on DVD!.......2005-06-06

Watch Christopher Walken dance as Puss in Boots and costar with Jason Connery, son of Sean, in this Cannon Movie Tale musical based on the beloved French fairy tale by Charles Perrault.

Here's the movie's description available from Sony Pictures: "Before he was a swashbuckling sensation in Shrek 2, Puss in Boots was already one of the most popular storybook characters of all time, thanks to his sly schemes and fearless bravado. Screen legend Christopher Walken (Catch Me If You Can) steps into the wily feline's magical boots in this exciting live-action version of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, complete with singing, dancing...and acrobatics!

"A dying mill owner divides his meager wealth among his sons, leaving only his beloved cat, Puss (Walken), to his youngest son Corin (Jason Connery). Initially disappointed with his four-legged bounty, Corin soon discovers that Puss is no average kitty. In fact, the cat's a brilliant strategist who concocts a daring plan to win both the king's favor - and the princess' heart - for his new master!"

The Cannon Movie Tale series of nine films has become nearly as popular among fairy tale enthusiasts and family film fans as Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Some would argue that this series is even more popular. Either way, these musicals are suitable for the entire family and feature well-known actors from the 1980s.

A good version of puss in boots.......2006-12-13

My 4-year-old son loves this movie... I've had to rent it over and over from the video store, and am finally going to get it for our own library. This, as others have noted, is not your typical high-tech, Pixar quality animated film. But if you appreciate it for it's story and quaint story boarding-type animatics, you're in for a nice treat. One word of caution... there are some scary parts in this if your child is little -- skeletons hanging from trees in one part -- but other than that this is a fun video.

Clever and unique twist on the classic adventure.......2006-07-26

Phil Nibbelink has taken a bold step with the animation style of PUSS IN BOOTS, using his characteristically cute character designs in a "storybook" style concept quite different from his prior work on "An American Tale: Fievel Goes West" or "We're Back!" While viewers expecting to see animation comparable to "Shrek" are likely to be disappointed, those who sit back and enjoy the story, humor, music and characters are going to be very satisfied. And speaking of "Shrek," am I the only one who thinks the PUSS IN BOOTS character from "Shrek 2" is a CLONE of Nibbelink's design here from six years prior? Check it out!

A classic tale told in song and dance.......2006-01-13

This movie is very well done for a 1999 animation. The voices here do a great job and the songs are wonderful. Puss in Boots really comes alive!

I want my money back.......2005-07-16

The animation is horrible and the songs are worse. I can't believe I paid for this, if they would take it back, I'd drive to Wal Mart right now.

Puss in Boots/Masterthief & Rumpelstiltskin/The Valiant Little Tailor

Puss in Boots
A talking tomcat learns how to become a true gentleman, and makes himself indispensable to the King and his daughter. He does this by providing them with their favorite dish, outwitting a powerful magician, changing a toad with green eyes back into a kitten, and eventually getting his master and the beautiful Princess together.

Masterthief
A thief falls in love—and regrets that he has stolen his love's golden ring. When trying to take it back to her, he gets caught and can only save himself from the gallows by solving three impossible tasks: steal the Count's favorite horse from the stables, the sheet from under the Countess' body, and the priest and the sexton from the church.

Rumpelstiltskin
Aided by a mysterious little troll, the miller's daughter has spun straw into gold, thus gaining the good King's hand and heart, and saving her father's life. But now, the nasty troll wants compensation. He demands her first-born child, unless she can guess his name before the sun has risen three times—and it's not an ordinary name, that's for sure!

wonderful fairytales.......2006-12-17

My 6 year old son loves eveything fairytale, and these movies are his favorite. These particular fairytales are not dark and scary like Disney can sometimes be. We have all of these fairytales and will continue to buy them as new ones come out.

In this animated version of the classic fable, a young man named Carabas is left alone after his father dies. In the wake of his father's death, Carabas befriends the evil landlord's cat - a talking cat, no less! Together, they devise a plan to get Carabas rich. The cat, who dons Carabas's boots, gives the young man a false identity as a Duke and uses this identity to curry favors with the King. However, feelings of guilt begin to overtake the honest Carabas, and he begins to question whether his deception is a good thing. If he admits his lie, though, the King is liable to punish him harshly. A story of courage and honesty, Puss in Boots is a beloved classic for children of all ages.
