Perrito definitely had the ability to become the most annoying and hated character, but the way they handle him made him a good and lovable character. He's a happy-go-lucky character that doesn't inject himself into every scene. Emotional and serious scenes are allowed to breathe, and when he's part of it, he knows how to read the room. While nobody watched Strange World, the few that did have all stated that the dog character "Legend" was easily the most hated character. It's also a happy-go-lucky dog character like Perrito, but can't talk and is more-or-less a dog. The issue what that character is that he hogs every scene. No scene was allowed to have anything resembling emotions or seriousness because the dog injects itself into every scene for some levity (because Disney is considers any form of sincerity or emotions to be "kinda cringe"). Lots of reviewers also stated that they were ready to hate Perrito because they were afraid that he'd be _that_ type of side character, but he wasn't and everyone loves him for it.

I think the key is how they know when to take their characters seriously and when not to take them seriously because when Perrito manages to calm Puss during his panic attack, it pays off from when he said that at Mama Luna's house and it wasn't Perrito doing something dumb or failing to calm Puss or making him the butt of a joke, Perrito not only manages to calm Puss down with putting his head over Puss, but then he listens to Puss and makes him feel comfortable talking about his fears and gives him good advice and I think that's when everyone realized that Perrito wasn't a joke, he was a fully realized character and I ended up loving him!

In the movie Puss would call him Perro (dog) when he needed him to act like "Perro start digging" or "drive Perro" every other time he never used a name for him, only saying you and your when he was around. After getting rid of the stick sword in place of the Gatito blade, Softpaws teases him that Puss is ready to name him, possible Chekhov's Gun? Anyway the scene would follow with Jack Horner showing up and all the chaos of the baby unicorn horns, and not too long after this is the iconic scene of Puss in the woods having a panic attack and the dog helping him calm down. "Thank you Perrito" That was the first time not only is Puss opening up to him but was also the moment he gave him his name because it's what a friend would call him. Also side tangent the joke of the stick sword has more impact if looking at perspective that this dog has only met this cat that morning and had no idea who Puss in Boots was or even heard of the legend, so when this grumpy old cat has you dig up some other cats grave to watch them put on their clothes the dog could've just assumed the cat was out of his mind about not having a sword, but Perrito just nods ok and then goes to find a sword for him. Like he didn't have to do that at all and had no knowledge or reason to, he just did it because he was oblivious and thought Puss was his friend and he just wanted to help a friend out. Considering this same stick sword Kitty would see, it made sense she would give him her gatito blade in place of it which would literally save his life in the end. All of this because a random dog he just met that morning wanted to help his new friend.

He isn't comic relief. While he is in the role that looks like comic relief. Life is about stopping & smelling the posies. This analysis is purely surface level & he is much deeper than just comic relief. You called him a link & that's correct, the link between being alive & living life. Only Life can show you how to laugh & enjoy your moments. Death teaches you to respect Death & Perrito Teaches you how to respect yourself in your life living & appreciate the life you have.

@@zest2.5 but his function is greater than a side character. As he teaches puss very important life lessons. He is the opposite side of the same coin as death. He is a supporting character, yes. But he isn't a one off character. That character is probably going to play a role as something more later. Like I said, if he is a representation of life then everything he did was with intention. Positive impact intentions. You see him making positive impacts because he is making the right decisions at the right time. So, from a writing stand point of character tropes I was say he falls on wise mentor figure over comic relief, but since he looks like a silly puppy, first thoughts of him is comic relief. But life is just as silly. Enjoying life doesn't make you comic relief. Comic relief is to force tension down. It's the moment. Not the character, in this case. In most cases you would be 100% correct. But in this case it's just a surface level layer to the complex depth of this character. There's a lot of small little hidden clues that are placed right in front of us for us not to see it because of the comic relief. Like how DC's Barry Allen aka The Flash is purposely late to everything to keep everyone from knowing he is The Flash. Life is pretending to be comic relief while acting being the wise old stage. We never get an age on him, we just assumed he was a puppy cause he was small.

Perrito is also a fantastic foil to both Puss and Softpaws- Puss is full of himself and his identity is rooted in being a legend so when he's on his last life he loses his sense of self, while Perrito is humble, appreciates the beauty in everything around him, and cares about Puss to help Puss realize his identity outside his fearless hero identity. Kitty is guarded and feels she can't trust anyone, while Perrito is immediately trusting and optimistic. and like you said, Perrito bridges the two of them together and helps them both grow

Also, he's driven, having his own aspirations which pull him forward, making him an active, though flat character; it's a perfect mix, since he pulls the story forward and brings out change in others as he moves along with his wishes and the WHOLE MOVIE is about HIM.

It's amusing how Perrito manages to catalyze positive change in every character that needed it. Perrito convinces Puss of the value of life, helps him face his fears, *and* indirectly repairs the relationship between Puss and Kitty. He encourages Kitty to trust others by catalyzing Puss' character arc, helping Puss convey his guilt over Santa Coloma, and just directly being a trustworthy companion. He helps Goldilocks understand that the family she craved was right in front of her the whole time. Puss, Kitty and Goldilocks agree to tear the map apart because, with the help of Perrito, they learned to value what they had. The titular wish was no longer necessary. Perrito does all of this while also improving the ties between characters. His writing is simply phenomenal.

It's also fun to note that while the "good guys" (goldilocks and her family, kitty, and puss) moral center, Perrito is *successful* in helping his friends grow as people and turn their selfish wishes into a desire to be with and protect their chosen family; his mirror on the "villain's" side - the Talking Cricket from Pinocchio - _fails_ in trying to inspire goodness in Big Jack Horner, who flicks him aside and continues to pursue *his* selfish wish, only to ultimately punished for it. Whether or not this is a commentary on their active or passive therapy styles are effective, or if it's about how change and growth can only happen within those who _choose_ it, I'm not sure.

In many ways, I believe Perrito's role in the "panic attack" scene is what completes his likeability. He might be oblivious, but he's not ignorant of other people's genuine need of help. When he finds Puss collapsed from fear in the woods, he STOPS being the comedy relief. He knows his friend is in trouble and makes a serious commitment to helping him. Perrito's aspiration to be a therapy dog wasn't some casual throw-away gag - it was a true intention. When the time came to be so, he fulfilled that role excellently. He rests his head on Puss to help ground him and calm down, he stays there quietly as Puss pets him in appreciation. And when Puss is calm, they have a sincere discussion of what's wrong and how to solve it. It's done 100% serious - no jokes, no ruining the tone and atmosphere; the movie slows down at this moment and waits until Puss and Perrito are ready to move along. And I say that's one of the reasons Perrito is seen by so many as a fantastic side character. He's not just there to lighten the mood, he's there to help people through heavy burdens as well. He's a genuine friend, and his actions explicitly make his friends, and even foes such as the Goldilocks family, become better people.

Empathetic towards the struggles of the characters they interact with 4. Able to have scenes of their own that don't require a main character to push the story or their character development 5. Being able to lighten the mood in tense moments without taking away the importance of the tense moment. 6.

I have a theory that Perrito was actually Jack Horner’s pet dog, and he abused him along with the other dogs, that he just threw him away because Jack’s dead inside, so of course he wouldn’t find Perrito adorable.

They also needed Perrito to hold the map in order to navigate the dark forest safely. He was the only one of the three for whom the map allowed safe passage. So, Perrito became essential to the plot and fulfilling the two main characters' goals rather than Perrito being a useless side character

I was very VERY pleasantly surprised when that wasn't the case, in fact, it was quite the opposite. He's my all-time favorite character to come out of this franchise. They handled him so well and knew when to reel him in if he was becoming too much, and knew when to let him have his quiet tender moments. Absolutely phenomenal writing!!!

Perrito is basically Donkey, but just better. He's meant to be largely oblivious, but being a therapy dog with a positive attitude he had moments of stronger insight. He was there to stick with the main character against their will and annoy them, but didn't extend that to the point of being defined by being annoying, he wasn't annoying to ALL characters, just the one he chose to stick to. He was more relevant to the plot, and character developments.

To me, Perrito wasn't a side character. Perrito served as a Mentor to Puss and acts as the cornerstone for the entire movies theme: Appreciate your life. Puss, Goldie, and Jack Horner all struggled to do this despite them having good things going for them. But Perrito, the dog who was stuffed in a sock and tossed into a river to drown, who had to disguise himself as a cat just to get fed, who is constantly ridiculed and belittled and mocked; Perrito doesn't allow any of that to stop him from valuing the life he has.
