WONDERFUL WORLD OF PUSS 'N BOOTS DVD

The Wonderful World of Puss 'N Boots - Hayao Miyazaki's Classics Collection DVD

Pero, a sword-wielding musketeer cat, is on the run! He's guilty of the ultimate crime: rescuing mice from certain doom. In hot pursuit are three bumbling police cats, trying their best to bring Pero to justice. While evading capture, Pero stumbles upon an unfortunate boy named Pierre, who is mistreated by his two greedy and selfish brothers. Pero soon convinces Pierre that he is better off leaving this deprived life behind him. The two set off together to find their fortune, and hear of an announcement from the castle: The King is looking for a husband for his beautiful daughter, Princess Rose. Pierre unwillingly, with the urging of Pero, poses as a Prince to woo the Princess. However, the dastardly Lucifer arrives and spoils the plan while he manages to kidnap the Princess! It's up to Pero and Pierre to journey into Lucifer's castle and rescue the lovely Rose. Culminating in a thrilling chase scene on the steeples of Lucifer's castle, Puss 'n Boots is an action-packed anime classic!

Originally released in 1969 in Japan, and later released as "The Wonderful World of Puss 'n Boots" in the US. The film was directed by Kimio Yabuki (Swan Lake), and features key animation by Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Castle Of Cagliostro, among others). Loosely based on Charles Perrault's original book "Le Maître Chat Ou Le Chat Botté," the film is beautifully scored by Seiichiro Uno (Jack and the Witch). This DVD release features the original Japanese language version available for the first time ever in the US. It also includes the very rare Fred Ladd English dubbed version. Puss 'n Boots have never been seen in its original theatrical aspect in North America until now!
