Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos

On a daring mission, Puss in Boots pursues a princess's ruby that the wily thief Whisperer has stolen. He is reluctantly paired with three rambunctious kittens called the Three Diablos, who prove more hindrance than help at first. To finish the job, Puss must corral their chaos and earn their trust while keeping their wild energy from derailing the plan. The trio's capers spark constant missteps that challenge Puss's leadership, even as his bravado drives the team forward. As danger increases and disguises blur, the chase mixes fast action with playful humor and a growing sense of camaraderie. The chase sweeps through a city market and a moonlit rooftop, where Puss finesses the plan with wit and a few moves.

Directed by Raman Hui Shing-Ngai, this DreamWorks Animation short broadens the Puss in Boots universe while keeping the cheeky humor. It was released in 2012 as a quick family friendly tale guided by Tom Wheeler and the familiar cast.

Reception treats the short as a light, family friendly extension that keeps the pace lively and the jokes quick. It frames Puss between bravado and mentorship as the kittens learn teamwork, responsibility, and how mischief can be turned toward a shared goal. The humor lands for both kids and adults.

The Three Diablos offers a compact showcase for supporting characters to steal scenes. While not a major cultural event, it reinforces the franchise's blend of cheeky humor and swashbuckling adventure, leaving fans with memorable gags and kid friendly visuals.
