Y'know, I really like the fact Kitty was there to overhear Puss saying he regretted Santa Coloma. It like, took the trope of "overhears a conversation and gets the wrong idea and is upset" and turned it on its head for the better

i'm still kinda shocked that a family movie had blood, death, a heartless murderer, mentioned animal abuse and tackled the fear of death

goldilocks' issue is really like how an adopted kid wants to know their biological family but didn't talk to her adoptive family about it

The wolf/death is the BEST portrayal of death/the grim reaper I’ve ever seen in media honestly. It took me a second rewatch to realize what his character was meant to be. Not a hero or villain, just a grim reaper tired of people who think they’re untouchable or immortal and feeds off the fear of those who he gives a reality check. So real of him

Welchy: I'm not a furry *Wolf breaths* Welchy: daddy chill

The most hilariously terrifying line in this movie is when Death starts cursing himself after Puss shows how much he values his life. It literally translates to “WHY THE HELL DID I PLAY WITH MY FOOD?!?!?!?!” Death could have killed Puss the second he laid eyes on him. But instead, Death chose to have some fun.

When Puss is fighting the giant at the beginning and the crowd does the wave you can actually see Wolf watching in the alley way.

Megamind deserved to have boss baby's spot in intro legit one of their best movies

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

Antonio Banderas suffered a heart attack in 2017 when they were planning the sequel. The experience gave what he called life changing and "the best things that ever happened in his life" by giving him a newfound respect on life. So this sequel seems tailored made for him.

The line that cracks me up the most is definitely, "I will save you!" "Save me too!" "If it's convenient!"

I'm conflicted that one of my favourite personifications of death is a DreamWorks Wolf but "I'm death. Straight up." Is so fucking cool

Amazing how what started off as a Zorro parody (even played by the same actor) has grown as a well developed character.

I love how the universal consensus from everyone who's seen the movie is, "I didn't expect it to be nearly this good, but I'm so glad I watched it."

Yea that panic attack scene was fucking phenomenal. It's such a good way to explain what that's like and a great callback to perrito wanting to be a therapy dog. And death is such a fantastic villain he's so cool. All the animation is fantastic as well. DreamWorks is pulling out bangers recently tbh.

My guy went from “Shrek movies suck, and I beg for a good one” To then saying “I need more of this in my life” That’s character development right there

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.

This movie had a three course meal of villains. Goldie the relatable/redeemable, Jack the hilarious greedy psycho, and Death the inevitable force of nature.

Welchy: "I'm not a furry." Also Welchy: "I want to be a she-wolf like Shakira so that the Wolf can do things to me."

"I will never stop fighting for this life" could be another metaphor for the anxiety theme.

I love watching everyone going in thinking they're about to watch another cash grab, and then having all the feels by the end. EDIT: I used to work with trauma survivors, and there have definitely been folks like Perrito who tell what they think is a funny story, but is actually a story of neglect or abuse. Others choose to see their trauma through a funny or positive lens as a survival tactic, so Perrito is surprisingly psychologically accurate. Puss' panic attack is also accurately depicted.

Anxiety and panic attacks are so well portrayed in this movie (trust me I know) and they did it in a children movie for crying out loud. Amazing

The fact that Death left such an impact on everyone despite having ONLY 4 MINUTES of screentime in an almost 2 hour long movie blows my mind lmao.

my man really said "If this wolf doesn't kill me, I'm not dying" XD

When they're escaping on the cart, how many people realized that what the wolf was doing was symbolizing the two coins for the ferryman that they would place on the eyes of the dead? I believe it started in Ancient Greece as a way for the dead to pay Charon for passage across the River Styx into the underworld. It's a really cool touch.

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.

This movie was the biggest suprisingly fantastic animated sequel of the decade.

"Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Eating a Christmas pie He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum And said, "Oh what a good boy am I!"

I am not sure but I think Death's "angry spanish" moment is "why the hell did I have to play with my food?" I dont get why people are calling him a Villain, he just has a job to do. if I had to ferry people to the afterlife, making sure their final journey isnt a lonely one, and I never got so much as a thank you? I'd be irritated too.

Loved your reactions to the movie! I absolutely love that you love Death just like the rest of us. I can definitely agree that DreamWorks makes amazing sequels

Fun fact: In Germany cats only have 7 lives 🐱

2:56 He never got away from everything Humpty framed him for in the first movie.

21:13 I don't think Welchy understands that it's quite literally impossible to defeat death. That's the whole theme of the movie. You can prolong it, hold it off as long as possible, but it will always win in the end. Death is inevitable for everyone.

I understand why Goldie wants a "proper family." Baby Bear constantly rides her arse about being just a human orphan girl, so of course she would feel she doesn't fit in with them, and she has to learn that she's accepted and loved, even by Baby Bear, who at one point even said, "she's *not* my sister." That would be tough to come back from, especially if you already know you aren't related to start with.

I love how this man went from being hesitant about the movie to straight up be down bad for Lobo (Death) lmfao. I died at the "He's the physical incarnation of death. That's so hot." 😭😭😭

Goldi’s wish makes a lot of sense when you factor in how many times Baby Bear teased her about being an orphan. It’s obvious she’d feel out of place, not to mention they’re literal bears lmao

I'm so glad that Puss in Boots is getting the attention it deserves. also because it was tiring being the only person around my socials screeching about how awesome the movie is

I love how you mentioned the anxiety scene. As someone with severe anxiety, I've also been calmed by my dog. The representation in this movie is unparalleled.

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.

18:12 That jump-scare was so satisfying to see, haha!

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

14:08 Does anyone else realized that Welchy has 2 different colored eyes if you pause here? And also, this is a very amazing reaction video! And this movie was also the best after about a decade. You don't see movies like this anymore!

The mama bear crying burns my soul 😩

a rare moment where the sequel is better than the first, good job dreamworks

It's definitely pleasing to see how quickly he joins this movie's side.

We need more serious Welchy moments

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

Remember when the Death Wolf said "everyone thinks they'd be the one to defeat me, but no one's escaped me yet" which really sums up what death is. You can do anything to make your life longer but it will eventually have to end

I'm only 4 minutes in but I love how you (jokingly) gloated about being able to figure out he has nine lives, when Puss literally says, before the death montage, "I am a cat, I have nine lives"

Yet again - I cried at this! Perros story broke me through and through

18:37 _Whadidhesaaaayy_ No but for real that caught me off guard. 💀 Go after what you want, Welchy.

The best movie to date!! So glad you made a commentary on it 😃

When I was watching this in theaters I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn't even have time to enjoy how amazing every scene of this looked.

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

"That's my national animal you sick fuck!" is the best take on unicorn murder ever. 10/10 reveiw

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

"down, down!" welch youre bold ☠️

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

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)

Dreamworks in my book has 2 types of movies, contract fillers and the movies they want to make. When it's a movie they want to make they go HARD.

YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON IVE SEEN SO FAR TO SQUEAL SEEING SHREK AND DONKEY. I RELATE HARD.

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."

I think this movie reignited the SCU, Shrek Cinimatic Universe. I hope that they makes the movies more stylistic like this one.

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.

"Am I seeing an animated movie with thought behind it?" You've never watched "Into the Spiderverse" then. You should, it's one of the best superhero movies and Spiderman movies ever. And the previous movie before that was "The Emoji Movie."

2:25 For a split second you can see the wolf in the corner, behind the crowd!

My respect for this company has sky rocketed! Thanks for this, Welchy hope to hear from you again soon. Btw have you ever considered doing a DreamWorks movie ranking video? Also Happy New Year!🌙🐈🗡👢

3:55 Puss literally says cats have nine lives lmao

So fun fact: when the Wolf said he “loves the smell of fear”, he isn’t exaggerating. Wolves are able to LITERALLY smell fear (or something like that. I’m sure someone else more educated can correct me).

18:46 "Death is not fun" - Welchy, 2023

Oh yeah its Welchy time

I can't believe Jiminy Cricket came in clutch af in the end riding a phoenix lmao. I love this universe and I hope dreamworks explores the fairy tales and nursery rhymes a lot more.

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

“I am not a furry” bolder lies have ever been spoken

"Why does this wolf go so hard?" A few words can have a thousand meanings

I literly just watched the movie and it's honestly spectacular like my 3 favorite dreamworks movie and it basicly checks the mark for every good thing good villan's, good characters, everything is amazing just mwah i love it 10/10

Can’t wait to watch the full version once is up again! Loved this movie so much, and I’m so glad you loved it too, amazing video as usual Welchy! 💚

“Family is what makes you feel at home” beautifully said, sir.

Yelling “DONT, DONT” at your crotch after seeing Kitty Softpaws had me dying 😭😭

In hindsight, i honestly know one like perrito. Hes a bundle of joy, he tries to help mental things and he had some really bad history yet came out like that anyway

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

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 😂

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.

Welchy, you NEED to watch Arcane!!! The animation is incredible, and the story, the characters, literally EVERYTHING about it is amazing. PLEASE.

"If you have red eyes im sorry, youre evil" People with albinism 👁👄👁

Alternative tile for this video: Welchy slowly revealing he’s a furry for 25 minutes

This reaction single handedly got me into Welchy and I am eternally grateful as he has become one of my favourite reactors

I really enjoyed watching how much you loved this movie. It's up there for me, just below How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2 (not 3). It's SUCH a good movie, I loved everything about it.

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.

i love how much you enjoyed this. i had more fun watching you watch it than i did watching it myself

I like how he starts off so cynical and ready to hate it but as it goes along he falls totally in love with it.

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!

18:12 - just my reaction at the cinema 🤣

"there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a fat man explode in a star" what a quote

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 😂

I love that the Wolf never blinks! That is just so freaking cool!

They really did go hard on symbology and psychological tricks for Death in this movie. And most of it goes unnoticed by the audience.

"I'm not a furry" Isn't that where it always starts?

your experience was the same as mine. Had no intentions of watching this movie but word of mouth changed my mind and watched it once it came out on Netflix. It blow me away and it really is that good. Watched it a second time you you notice more things. Humor is great, characters great, The villains! Chef kiss. This movie goes in my top ten maybe top five favorite animations movies.

18:12 the jump from you was so real here, shit was terrifying
