Encyclopedic overview

Puss in Boots is a 2011 American animated adventure comedy film featuring the titular character originally from Shrek 2 (2004) and inspired by the fairy tale. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the film was directed by Chris Miller and written by Tom Wheeler. Antonio Banderas stars as Puss in Boots, alongside Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Amy Sedaris. The film follows the origin story of Puss in Boots, before the events of Shrek 2. Accompanied by his friends, Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws, Puss is pitted against Jack and Jill, two murderous outlaws, for ownership of three legendary magical beans that lead to a great fortune of Golden Eggs from the Great Terror, a gigantic Goose.

Development began following the release of Shrek 2 in 2004. Originally titled Puss in Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer, it was announced as a direct-to-video film, scheduled to be released in 2008. In October 2006, the film was redeveloped as a theatrical release, with Shrek the Third (2007) director Miller joining the project.
