About This Movie

So, this 1985 version of Puss in Boots is quite an interesting take on the classic tale. Directed by an unknown, it has a certain charm that feels very much of its time. The performances by Gregory Hines and Ben Vereen are pretty engaging, bringing energy to the characters. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of adds to the whimsical atmosphere. The practical effects are charmingly dated, which gives it that unique '80s TV movie vibe. Narration by Shelley Duvall adds a layer of warmth and storytelling that feels nostalgic. I appreciate how it weaves in themes of friendship and ambition, even if it doesn’t break new ground in storytelling. Definitely a curious watch for collectors.

Features a unique blend of fantasy and musical elements.Notable for its performances, especially by Hines and Vereen.Offers a nostalgic look at 80s television productions.
