Definitely... Goldi also had her own sort of arc.

It's better than idiolizing the wolf ...tired of the furries idiolizing wolf character...such they're hot i get it.

@@keip4568 literally has nothing to do with his comment

​@@keip4568 tf r u on about bro, the comment is about perrito and goldi, ur the only one obsessed with the wolf here

@@keip4568 I swear anti-furry is more vocally annoying than the furry themselves. At least furries don't waste time and resources on solely hating some group of people & invading other unrelated comment sections.

Nicely said... I don't know whether it's a DreamWorks thing or a writer thing but they got their sidecharacters spot on in puss in boots. I did'nt watch stange world all I know is it's somehow connected to encanto, but I might give it a watch to understand what you said about Legend.

@@zest2.5 encanto? i think the fan theory was that its somehow connected to Moana

Ohh... Tnks for the correction.

@@zest2.5 yeah in Moana they show a map of islands and one kinda looks like a turtle, so they think that's the connection to Strange World

This! I was ready to hate him when he was first introduced in the movie because I was like "oh great, an annoying side character that'll follow the main character for no reason other than introducing new characters and comic relief..." and I really, really, really didn't like him all the way until they reach the dark forest... I think the key is how they know when to take their characters seriously and when not to take them seriously because when Perrito manages to calm Puss during his panic attack, it pays off from when he said that at Mama Luna's house and it wasn't Perrito doing something dumb or failing to calm Puss or making him the butt of a joke, Perrito not only manages to calm Puss down with putting his head over Puss, but then he listens to Puss and makes him feel comfortable talking about his fears and gives him good advice and I think that's when everyone realized that Perrito wasn't a joke, he was a fully realized character and I ended up loving him!

Yh me too😅.

Same lol

Yhhh... Eases the tension in those scenes. Well said.

Yeah, I did wonder, why puss kept on switching terms from Perro to Perrito being that they kind of mean the same thing which is dog.

@@zest2.5 Dog vs puppy. So it'd be like going from addressing a stranger to a friend or loved one.

@@lacyn9082 woahhh... Didn't think of it like that🤔. Definitely explains it.

In the movie Puss would call him Perro (dog) when he needed him to act like "Perro start digging" or "drive Perro" every other time he never used a name for him, only saying you and your when he was around. After getting rid of the stick sword in place of the Gatito blade, Softpaws teases him that Puss is ready to name him, possible Chekhov's Gun? Anyway the scene would follow with Jack Horner showing up and all the chaos of the baby unicorn horns, and not too long after this is the iconic scene of Puss in the woods having a panic attack and the dog helping him calm down. "Thank you Perrito" That was the first time not only is Puss opening up to him but was also the moment he gave him his name because it's what a friend would call him. Also side tangent the joke of the stick sword has more impact if looking at perspective that this dog has only met this cat that morning and had no idea who Puss in Boots was or even heard of the legend, so when this grumpy old cat has you dig up some other cats grave to watch them put on their clothes the dog could've just assumed the cat was out of his mind about not having a sword, but Perrito just nods ok and then goes to find a sword for him. Like he didn't have to do that at all and had no knowledge or reason to, he just did it because he was oblivious and thought Puss was his friend and he just wanted to help a friend out. Considering this same stick sword Kitty would see, it made sense she would give him her gatito blade in place of it which would literally save his life in the end. All of this because a random dog he just met that morning wanted to help his new friend.

​@@zest2.5 Specifically, it went from "dog" to "puppy"

Yeah exactly... Nicely said.

exactly this - I couldn't say it any better than that !

It's also fun to note that while the "good guys" (goldilocks and her family, kitty, and puss) moral center, Perrito is *successful* in helping his friends grow as people and turn their selfish wishes into a desire to be with and protect their chosen family; his mirror on the "villain's" side - the Talking Cricket from Pinocchio - _fails_ in trying to inspire goodness in Big Jack Horner, who flicks him aside and continues to pursue *his* selfish wish, only to ultimately punished for it. Whether or not this is a commentary on their active or passive therapy styles are effective, or if it's about how change and growth can only happen within those who _choose_ it, I'm not sure. But I enjoy it immensely.

@@ChickenTheThird I liked that Big Jack Horner was bad to the core without any redeeming qualities. Too much simpatetik villains nowadays. And even when Perrito used his big eyes to "soften him" it was distraction not an actual attempt to change his mind.

​@@Nemo120 thats the most interesting spelling of "sympathetic" I've seen

I totally get your life and death analogy.The thing is I'm talking from a character scripting point of view. As much as there are deeper meanings that we might find, you need characters to act a certain way at their core to give them almost a function in a story. That's where I'm coming from.

@@zest2.5 but his function is greater than a side character. As he teaches puss very important life lessons. He is the opposite side of the same coin as death. He is a supporting character, yes. But he isn't a one off character. That character is probably going to play a role as something more later. Like I said, if he is a representation of life then everything he did was with intention. Positive impact intentions. You see him making positive impacts because he is making the right decisions at the right time. So, from a writing stand point of character tropes I was say he falls on wise mentor figure over comic relief, but since he looks like a silly puppy, first thoughts of him is comic relief. But life is just as silly. Enjoying life doesn't make you comic relief. Comic relief is to force tension down. It's the moment. Not the character, in this case. In most cases you would be 100% correct. But in this case it's just a surface level layer to the complex depth of this character. There's a lot of small little hidden clues that are placed right in front of us for us not to see it because of the comic relief. Like how DC's Barry Allen aka The Flash is purposely late to everything to keep everyone from knowing he is The Flash. Life is pretending to be comic relief while acting being the wise old stage. We never get an age on him, we just assumed he was a puppy cause he was small.

@@OblivionOdditiesProjectStudios okay Sergio. Reading this I have a better picture of what you're saying and I understand where you are coming from with Perrito.

@@zest2.5 I want you to know that you're currently the only one with a purrely Perrito video.

@@OblivionOdditiesProjectStudios I'll take that as a compliment Sergio, tnks.

Well said, he was done brilliantly. It's good we recognize such integral side characters.

On the topic of flat characters, I watched Forrest Gump a few days ago. Tbh, that's the whole schtick of the movie: the main character, Forrest, is pretty much a flat character, he doesn't change much, but he goes through so many adventures and inspires change in so many other people. Also, he's driven, having his own aspirations which pull him forward, making him an active, though flat character; it's a perfect mix, since he pulls the story forward and brings out change in others as he moves along with his wishes and the WHOLE MOVIE is about HIM. So yeah, flat characters can drive a whole movie, as long as they are active.

@@leonardocouto3109 yeah Forrest Is pretty basic, but for some reason he stands out and changes the characters around him. I just was pretty annoyed with his whole situation with Jenny, I know Forrest is supposed to be clueless but common😅.

He's a flat character, but he's also a paragon. And paragon's by their nature, are made to be positive influences to those they work with (usually main characters).

@@leonardocouto3109 I just watched Green miles and same with John Coffey. He's implied to be a literal angel though, so it makes sense why he's unrealistically kind.

It's kinda like the movie depends on his actions to progress the story. I think that's a lot of power given to a side character and I'm all for it.

Yh, Thats why it ain't good to judge a character by just a trailer. Take The Super Mario Bros Trailer for example... let's try to give Chris Pratt's Mario a chance before we start tearing into it.

I guess I'm fortunate. Had no idea about the character before watching the movie. Didn't plan to watch the movie, so I didn't pay attention to the trailers.

And Perrito did not need the wish at the end. He is so nice.

Well, as Perrito says in the beginning, he doesn't need the wish because he has everything he could ever want already. He's perfectly happy as is

@@quarkonium3795 It's those kind of things that make him so unique.

​@@quarkonium3795 it's even more fascinating if you think about how the narrative seemed to hint that he will get the last wish as a suprise

that's a really good take. "Mentor role”, I did not see like that.

Could not have said it any better... He plays a mentorship role, a catalyzing role and a slight comic relief role. It's just too good.

Exactly, not exaggerated at alll

The irony that it takes befriending a dog for two cats to look beyond themselves. Which, honestly, tracks.

@@AranelEruvyreth No one has pointed that out. Well said.

Yeah, he is kinda like the only character that contrast everyone around him.

The second reason is very important... For a top side character.

Exactly, they didn't insert him in all scenes, and when he was present, he was supposed to be there, and not making trouble or being q nuisance, they did a good job with Perrito.

Very true...

Yes!

They did in a deleted scene and then realised it ruins the character devlopment of Puss.

That's a wonderful way to look at the cuss words Perrito says. The character is straight up Unique

True. He probably has no idea what they mean. He thinks it's a joke or a game.

Yhh... The writing was spot on for Perrito and even Softpaws too.

Yeah he definitely, deserves it more so because the villains in the movie stands out a lot.

@@zest2.5 yeah not enough ppl talk about him, the villians take up all the attention

@@shieldgenerator7 yeah, especially Death

"bumming idiot that turned out to be the wizard" which movie that from🤔?

@@zest2.5 usually high fantasy or rpg games. where the person is lackluster and weights the party/hero down, but when they hit the end boss or level 100, they show who they really were or what they can become. None them really stand out (because I don't think they were rememberable) or just not worth the time as a player.

Yeah but I remember, someone saying donkey was annoying. Donkey is hugely influential in both Shrek movies. The first mainly.

Me too.. Perrito Is my favorite character, Thanks also for the complement.

@@zest2.5 You're welcome. Keep it up, man.

Yeah me too.. the case of Jack Horner shows that even though a character is one note you can play into their strengths really well, instead of making them cliche.

@@zest2.5 exactly, one note in concept, but yet, it was very well done.

I know right, we do act like we don't want side characters to add comic relief cause it gets annoying but it all depends on how the character is being applied.

Nice point... Perrito not being symmetrical could represent his whole approach to life. He takes things for what they are and makes the best of every moment.

At first I heard burrito but later on I got to hear the "p" and searched on the meaning which meant dog.

Now that you point it out I can see the similarities with donkey mostly with what you said Abt him being a "foil" from the main character

Nicely said... The forest depicted their hearts. It's odd how Perrito has the most traumatizing past and still be so pure.

Close to being overbearing but not annoying. Good writing

Dude, I’m so glad they didn’t ruin that scene with comedy. It was really well done.

@@PapiTheMenace SAMEEEE I loved that scene so much

@@Thenewboidahlia Velma could never

@@Chaos_Fantasmic oh god I can’t even start with Velma that was fucking terrible 😭

True... Perrito enjoys each moment of life.

😅.. that certainly can be explored, Perrito past will make so much sense If Jack Horner was his owner.

that's a great theory!

​@@zest2.5 wouldn't he recognise him?

@@hassanalkhalaf1115 Yhh but then Jack does not really care about anyone, remember he would have a litter of puppies. So if he tried to get rid of one, he probably won't remember. Just playing into the theory though.

@@zest2.5 I mean Perrito should remember

Well said, all reasons you outlined were spot on. Number 7, I feel is very important for a good side character.

Yeah, that is another way to look at it. I think that might be a lot more correct than my own analysis. He just approaches things from a positive light, that's what makes him appear oblivious.

Yeah, knowing when to make him serious, That's how to use such a character.

Ohh wow.. thanks so much.

Yhh, they used him perfectly.

Huh... Then i was wrong there. Tnks for pointing it out

Exactly, they could have easily made it an insignificant passing statement, like it won't mean anything, but the built on it.

Yeah, they thrive in building likeable characters. Like everyone on the Shrek franchise and also on the how to train your dragon franchise too.

Ohh, That could explain the "funny story" phrase.

Not a fan of donkey huh, personai I'm a huge fan though the character made me laugh as a kid but I get what you mean.

Donkey was annoying and he knew it but didnt care. Perrito at least respects Puss' space (at least sometimes)

​@@shieldgenerator7 Someone else who doesn't like Donkey? I'm not the only one?

So I reckon, death is your favorite

the bleeps were a huge shock..

Come to think of it, he does resemble Sox in a way😅. Though Sox's a cat

@@zest2.5 the cat is named Sox and Perrito is wearing a sock

The timed his application perfectly like you said

Very true... if we want to read more into it, that could also be as a result of his past trauma.

Perrito is the survivor of an abusive childhood, who came out of that abusive childhood as one of the nicest and most caring people you will ever meet.

🤣🤣... Okay, I get you.

He's actually really smart for a baby!

I agree, He does affect the plot more than donkey.

I get but then that might lead to them diluting the character.

@zest 2.5 I get that but imagine this. He's one of Farquaad's pups and the one who let the fairytale creatures escape in his naive nature Farquaad gets enraged and orders his men to get rid of him but everytime they do Perrito finds his way back hence why he's thrown in a river like he said he was.

@@ChanoCYBER9Avila Okay, you mean building on his past, that could actually work, you know.

@zest 2.5 yes but I think that's the charm of the character that u barely know about him like Donkey

I think so too... But there is still an argument to be made for Donkey.

Thanks so muchhh...

I get you, but if he is not A side character what is he then.

@zest 2.5 He plays the role of a Mentor character. He is Puss's wakeup call. He is what leads Puss to reflect on himself. Until Puss confides in Perrito, the only thing Puss cares about is getting the wish. Only after confiding in Perrito does Puss notice his priorities are changing.

That oddly makes sense.

Thanks, I hope so too. It's just to keep pushing out good videos and hope for the best.

Thanks....

Finally, some Jack Horner credit. Everyone seems to love Death more

I get what you mean with Olaf.😅

A unique side character, honestly

A truly unique character...

Ohh... Thanks. I did not get the sound right while editing. My later videos I'll try to make it better. Your an English major that's really cool. I'm actually a human physiology major but I felt to make the vid I needed to understand a little bit of literature.

Brilliant animated movie... Hope there will be a sequel

The link to the artist should be in the description, if you want to check it out

Thanks 🤗.

@@zest2.5 you are welcome bro

That could be debated though to me Sox from lightyear kind of acts like Perrito in a sense, and he's a robotic cat🤷🏾‍♂️.

Totally agree with you on Olaf... Which is why I don't want to see part 3 of puss in boots, cause sequels tend to wash out side characters.

Really, I didn't see him becoming one though

@@zest2.5 it's because all the dumb twist villains I watched over the years that I was expecting to be let down by another one. Good thing that didn't happen.

Public library commute - mile high

@@zest2.5 man idk if its the right song, i listened to all of it and couldnt really get how its the same song, i was talking about the part from the start to 0:36

Ohhhh, tnks for telling me. I'll make sure to iron out those kinks in later videos.

Ohhhh, tnks for telling me. I'll make sure to iron out those kinks in later videos.

Exactly...😅

🤣🤣🤣

Very true, they did not take the whole therapy dog thing as a joke. They built on it, I liked that.

I'm not sure I can rank them since they are all unique, but for laugh's Olaf is first 😅.

@@zest2.5 I’d argue that Olaf didn’t serve as much use to the plot as Dori did in their respective films.

True, but I mean in terms of like making the audience laugh. If it's story progression, it's Perrito then Dori.

The term "Idolizing" is a bit too much, you know😅, but yh, Perrito is as good a character as Death.

Okay...

✈️

Definitely, in some scenes he isn't.
