Walt Disney was barely 21 years old and still working out of Kansas City when he and his earliest cohorts in animation produced this cartoon. PUSS IN BOOTS is a slangy update of the old fairy tale, complete with jazzy topical references to flappers, radio, and Rudolph Valentino. (Rudy is parodied in a brief burlesque of his bullfighting saga BLOOD AND SAND, a movie-within-the-movie entitled "Throwing the Bull.") The characters in this silent film converse in dialog balloons, as they would in a comic strip; similarly, when they're startled, their hats dance in the air, or little lines fly out of their heads-- it's like the Sunday funnies come to life.
The story is simple. A boy who is a commoner is in love with a Princess, but of course her father the King objects. However, the boy's cat has a plan to make him a hero, therefore an acceptable suitor. Lots of cute gags along the way boost the entertainment value of this very early Disney effort beyond what a plot synopsis might suggest. Character movement is a bit jerky at times, but the backgrounds are surprisingly elaborate, rather more detailed than those found in Disney's later 'Alice in Cartoonland' series or in the early Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's also impressive that these young filmmakers would take on the challenge of animating such a large crowd of spectators packing into the arena for the climactic bullfight. Even this early, Disney wasn't one to play it safe or cut corners. PUSS IN BOOTS is charming and funny, an inauspicious debut to a career whose impact can still be felt.
