Cat characters were not cute enough to be cats!

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2011)

As a big cat lover, I was disappointed the way the animated characters turned out, not cute enough to look like cats, and the story could have used more feline signature behavior, not just drinking milk and chasing a light. In "How to Train Your Dragon", for example, the writers and the animators utilized more of cat demeanor in the dragon characters than the writers and animators did in the cats, in "Puss in Boots".
Although the team involved in this project was responsible for one of my favorite animated films, "Madagascar", I wish they hired a team of REAL CAT LOVERS. Someone, like the creator of "Simon's Cat".
Moreover, the characters in "Puss in Boots" did not look feline enough. They looked like toys or robots. Furthermore, the eyes and noses did not have enough detail, and the proportions of the faces were not accurate. The fangs were shortened, the whiskers too. If they merely took a picture of a real cat and just copied it, it would have been a much cuter looking character.
In closing, I enjoy watching "Simon's Cat" more than I did "Puss in Boots", and "Simon's Cat" is always free on the internet! :)
