Review: ‘Puss in Boots’ Is Cat’s Meow

Fairy tales are coming to life all over the place these days, what with “Grimm” and “Once Upon a Time” both kicking off on TV this month. On the big screen, classic kids’ tales and nursery rhymes combine in “Puss in Boots,” which spins off Antonio Banderas’ suave feline from the “Shrek” movies into his own 3-D adventure. “Puss in Boots” starts a little slow, but once it flashes back to the furry friend’s childhood, things start to purr. Seems that Puss once lived in an orphanage filled with other favorites from the storybooks, including a bullyish Little Boy Blue and a dopey Humpty Dumpty, who becomes the cat’s best pal. The cat and the egghead are unlikely buddies, but Zach Galifianakis adds a crafty charm to the bad egg, and it’s easy to root for their up-and-down friendship/ Gael Fashingbauer Cooper , Today.
