Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos
Tags: fantasy

Plot synopsis:
Not long after his adventure with the Golden Goose, Puss in Boots is riding his horse through the desert contemplating if he was destined to be an outlaw or a hero when he is captured by Italian knights. He is then taken to Princess Alessandra Belagomba, whose "Heart of Fire" Ruby, the crown jewel of her kingdom, is missing. At first, Puss believes he is being wrongfully charged for the theft, but it later turns out that the Princess only wants to hire him based on his reputation, revealing that a French thief called "The Whisperer" was the one who committed the crime and that the Princess' knights have captured three of his henchmen. The henchmen turn out to be three kittens (referred to as the Diablos). Though Puss cannot believe that such innocent creatures could be thieves, the princess and her guards are terrified of them. The Diablos kindly agree to help Puss on the premise that they will be free if they return the ruby.
When Puss takes the Diablos to the desert, they quickly turn on him (revealing their backstabbing nature) and bury him alive. Puss later escapes and recaptures the Diablos using his wide eyes against theirs. Later, he talks about sending them back to jail for double-crossing him, but he learns that they have no family and are orphans like him. He then sympathetically tells them how he also knows it's tough not knowing whom to trust and being betrayed, making an example of how Humpty led Puss down the wrong path, just as the Whisperer has done to them. Puss then decides to point the Diablos in the right direction and trains them how to fight and plays with them, becoming friends. He also gives them names: Perla (because she is one of a kind), another Gonzalo (for his scrappy temper) and the other Sir Timoteo Montenegro the Third (a title is all he needs).
The next day, the Diablos, turning over a new leaf, show Puss to the Whisperer's secret hideout, and are immediately confronted by the Whisperer himself, who, by his name, has a low voice volume and uses his hat as a cone to speak clearly. It is also revealed that the Whisperer himself has used the heart as a decoration for his own belt. After learning that the Diablos brought Puss to him to recover the heart, the Whisperer is about to punish them for their betrayal, but Puss fights him and lets the Diablos escape. They, however, return to help Puss with what they learned from him and the Whisperer falls into a bottomless pit to his death. Puss then returns the heart to the Princess and is rewarded with gold, and he gives the Princess the Diablos as her new personal bodyguards. They then say their goodbyes and Puss claims "He will never forget them, just as he is sure they will never forget the name of Puss in-"; unfortunately, the guards slam the doors before he can finish his goodbye.

Review: The three troublesome kittens.
Puss in Boots:The Three Diablos is a 2012 CGI short.
These days a successful cartoon film will lead to sequels and spin-offs as well as animated shorts which tend to be DVD extras.This short serves as a sequel to Puss in Boots and again features Antonio Banderas as the voice of the cavalier cat.Here Puss in Boots on a mission to recover a stolen ruby belonging to a princess from a notorious French thief known as the Whisperer.
He is accompanied by what at first sight look like three cute little kittens known as the Three Diablos (devils in Spanish.) This is because they have a habit of turning mischievous.
Puss must tame them before they endanger the mission.The short is not complex or deep but is entertaining enough for younger kids.
I could guess that the three kittens would be troublesome..
Short, but enjoyable and cute....
Kind of interesting how much "Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos" managed to do in just 13 minutes.
This short animated movie with the lovable Puss in Boots character is actually enjoyable - albeit quite short.The story is about Puss in Boots who gets hired by a queen to find and return her stolen ruby.

I think those 3 little kittens are adorable and it was really funny for a short movie for instance, when the kittens beat Puss, that part was totally hilarious!
My nephews enjoyed it so much that they wanted it to be a feature film.
Hope we get a sequel for a short film also!

Okay follow-up.
These 13 minutes tell us the story of what happened to Puss in Boots after his first feature film.
The princess asks him to recover a stolen ruby from an evil sorcerer.
But before he can do that he has to tame a trio of wild kittens.
(He may have been just like them a couple years ago.) Of course, after some initial struggling, that is exactly what he does and the kittens help him in fighting the evil wizard.
Director Raman Hui worked on several "Shrek" film and also on "Puss in Boots", not as a director as he does here, but still he had some impact and finally got his own film, even if it's not that long.
We'll see how his upcoming film "Monster Hunt" turns out.
Writer Tom Wheeler also came up with the script for the original "Puss in Boots" and Antonio Banderas is also back of course.
The rest of the cast are not known to me.
I just saw that there will be a second feature movie maybe in 3 years from now and people who enjoyed the first will certainly be curious.
These are also the ones that should give "The Three Diablos" a watch.
Nothing outstanding, but a decent little short.
