Puss in Boots
Alt titles: Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko
Synopsis:
When the loveable Perro was banished from the kingdom of cats (for the treacherous crime of saving a mouse!), his wanderings led him to the house of Pierre, a young lad who was mistreated by his greedy brothers. Thrown out in the cold, the duo then traveled to a great kingdom where they laid eyes on the princess Rosa, who soon would be wed to a wealthy suitor. Who best to marry her but ... the son of a poor farmer?! With Perro's help, Pierre might just stand a chance -- that is, if he can fool the royal family and defeat the evil Lucifer, who wants Rosa all for himself!

add recThe Cat Returns is definitely a lot more new and interesting than Puss in Boots, and if you enjoyed the fantasy aspect of Puss in Boots (or the cats, for that matter?) why not check out this Ghibli tale that involves cats as well? I think you'll enjoy the mystical elements of it as well as the humor and animation, especially if you enjoyed Puss in Boots.
The cat's kingdom - I wonder what it is like? Both main cats in these two anime were banished from the cat's kingdom. They search for a way to live life anew - Perro from "Puss in Boots" is doing a heroic thing and helping Pierre, while Baron from "Neko no Ongaeshi" has his secret plans about fixing the rotten cat's kingdom's system.

add recAlthough the style of these two movies is really different, if you think about the plot you can find some similarities. If you consider that Perro is just a cat then he is just like Junkers - he has wants to help a person reach his dreams he never thought can be done. Perro and Junkers can talk, they are smart and they even can do miracles both in their own way; Junkers is helping a girl to bring her family back together, yet Perro is helping Pierre to start a new life. Both anime are filled with funny events and the endings are really thoughtful.

add recIf you are looking for another anime to show your kids that is full of songs and fantasy, try this out. Both Horus and Puss in Boots are tales of fantasy and mystical things, of evil and those who would destroy them. A very similar feel and mood accompany both, as well. If you or your child liked one, I think you'd like the other.

add recNot only are Puss in Boots and Zorori both based on popular stories, but each has a lighthearted tone and is aimed at youngsters. If you are into animal characters who swashbuckle their way into adventure and fun, both of these will appeal to you.
