Reviews

Puss in Boots (1982) holds a respectable score on IMDb with a 7.3 out of 10, indicating generally favorable audience reception. Critics have praised the film for its faithful retelling of the beloved fairy tale and its charming animation style. On Rotten Tomatoes, although the movie lacks an official aggregated score due to its vintage and niche status, user reviews emphasize its nostalgic value and creative character design. The Metacritic platform does not feature a formal listing for the film, reflecting its status as a lesser-known animated classic. Reviewers have highlighted the witty script and Garry Q. Lewis’s direction for successfully capturing the playful essence of the story. However, some critiques note that the animation quality, while expressive, shows limitations typical of early 1980s independent productions. Despite this, the movie remains a beloved gem for fans of classic fairy tales and hand-drawn animation, appreciated for its heart, humor, and timeless appeal.
