Der gestiefelte Kater (2011) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The character may be here to save the day, but the movie's only here to pass the time and it does that just fine.. It's the morally-cracked Humpty who provides the film's emotional trajectory. Puss in Boots is a fun feline frolic -- with just a little egg on its face.. Perhaps the most engaging thing about "Puss in Boots" is that it never takes itself too seriously.. "Puss in Boots'' doesn't break...

Flushed Away subsumes its British charm with an aggressive American pace and more obvious body-function humour, and the film shows evidence of an awkward fit between American and British sensibilities..
