We continue to follow Pero on his travels, except this time - we see him travelling a bit more. In an interesting twist from mainly focussing in one town/country, we finally get to see him during his travels. He has to travel around the world in just eighty days. This art style is very old, as of the time I am writing this it is 46 years old, and so the art style is a lot worse than what most people are used to. However, this old art style was very good for its time and even looking back at it now, it does not makethis film any less enjoyable. Ah - that classic theme song, it never gets old. If you listen closely to each one, the lyrics are changed in each movie to reflect the kind of antics that Pero gets up to, and occasionally what he gets up to in the film. The voice acting is good but due to the age, the voices don't always sound like they fit in the scenes (such as wind getting quieter just for when they speak). Pero - A kindhearted cat who is hated by King Cat and wanted dead for his betrayal to his species by always freeing caught mice.

This Japanese' animated interpretation of Puss 'n Boots reminds me of classic Walt Disney movies: I know exactly what it's going to end, but that doesn't take away the enjoyment. There are a few animated sequences that are nothing short of virtuosic, such as the chase across castle parapets, or Pero's fantasy about the female cat. They can really hold candles to today's animation. Design wise, this antiquated movie has better character design than any animes that feature anthropomorphic animals I've seen. It's no wonder why Pero is still used as Toei Animation's mascot. The art can't be compared to today's computer-assisted drawings, but all of the scenesfeaturing buildings are top notch. In fact, what I think is the weakest part in the movie is the voice. Sometimes it doesn't match what happens in the scene, but it's probably due to the constrain of audio technology of that time. Overall, a very enjoyable family-friendly movie.
