Movies that feel likePuss in Boots (2011)

Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street smart Kitty Softpaws and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty to save his town. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend... The Boots.

If you loved Puss in Boots, the closest films we have are The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), Spies in Disguise (2019) and Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016). All three share Puss in Boots' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Bad Guys (2022).
