Warning: "Puss in Boots" PG-rated Kids Movie has overt bestiality sub-plot!!! (from a reader)
From Dreamworks (Spielberg company). Voices: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and others.
Though I have avoided movies for going on 10 years due to the subliminal or direct immoral messages, I needed to attend this movie as part of a work assignment. As I like cats, I thought it might be fun. (Wrong. Though, I put on a positive attitude for my work context.)
Aside from a handful of actual cat-like charming portrayals, the cat figures were thinly disguised, low-life human type figures, conveying a degraded message in a story line with perhaps one single "higher grade" morality message.
As usual in the media today, the male-female lead relationship was way, way, way over-sexualized.
Most offensive, however, was the "side" sub-plot relationship between the male and female "evil" characters. After accomplishing several evil actions, these two shady characters were conversing, and the male says he wants to have a family.
The female doesn't want children but instead suggests that he could have a child / sex with the hogs in their cellar of their covered wagon.
A short while later, the shady female figure is cooing a baby pig in a swaddling cloth in her arms, and says to her male counterpart, "Oh, he looks just like you!"
!!! !!! !!! In a PG-rated movie for kids!!!
As it is a subplot and those conversations go by quickly, I venture that most people will miss them. However, those bits are there. They act subliminally. They were not cut by the director / producer. They have not been commented on that I could locate online. So, this agenda against the family and against decency is apparently being forwarded without question.
Also, please note: The plot set-up against the purported protagonist, a cat named "Puss in Boots", closely resembles the CIA-type set-up against whistle blowers and/or targeted individuals.
Treachery from all angles. No trust in any direction. Seduction not love in relationships. These are the taught elements in this story.
Not the world I seek, nor prefer.
Moviegoers, Parents, you have been warned.

Another reader takes issue:
I personally know some of the Animators who worked on Puss n Boots.
Bestiality - the reviewer grossly misinterpreted the movie. The Lady
tells him to adopt a pig instead of having a baby, not have a baby with a pig.
There are, indeed, elements of insidious evil at the highest levels of
Hollywood. Subversive messages are, for sure, covertly embedded into
many films.
However, I have to disagree with your reader. Its reading too much
into a film. Its absurd.
