When Puss tries to steal them from the outlaws room, a female cat named Kitty Softpaws interrupts, and both fail. Kitty is allied with Humpty Alexander Dumpty, a talking egg and Puss long estranged childhood friend from the orphanage where he was raised. Puss tells Kitty his origin story and of his feelings of betrayal for a youthful misadventure when Humpty tricked Puss into helping commit a bank robbery in his hometown of San Ricardo Puss has been on the run ever since. Humpty eventually convinces Puss to join them in finding the beans and retrieving the golden eggs. The trio steal the beans from Jack and Jill and plant them in the desert.

While celebrating their victory, the group is ambushed by Jack and Jill, who knock Puss unconscious. When Puss wakes up, he tracks Jack and Jill to San Ricardo where he learns the entire heist was a plot by Humpty to lure him home to be arrested, as revenge for abandoning him to the authorities when Humptys youthful heist went bad.

Tracking him down just as the Great Terror arrives, Puss convinces Humpty to help him fight off the Great Terror, saying he knows Humpty is a good person at heart. Using the Goose as bait, Puss and Humpty lure the Great Terror out of the town. During the chase, Jack and Jill betray Humpty and try to take the Goose, but get crushed by the Great Terror. Humpty and the Goose are knocked off a bridge with Puss holding onto them. Humpty knows Puss cannot hold both of them, so he lets go, sacrificing himself to save the Goose and the town.

ProductioneditThe film had been in development since 2. Shrek 2 was released. As a Shrek 2 spin off, it was initially planned for release in 2. Puss in Boots The Story of an Ogre Killer. By October 2. 00. Dream. Works Animations realization that the Puss character deserved more. In September 2. 01. Guillermo del Toro signed on as executive producer. Discussing del Toro, Miller stated We worked out a system for him to come in once every few months or whenever we had something new to show him. If we needed someone to bounce ideas off of, he was always there, and if we had a problem we were tackling, wed get Guillermo on the red phone our emergency phone and ask him advice on what we should do with a certain character or scene. It was like having our own film school. Miller stated that del Toro was particularly involved in Humptys character design. Guillermo loved the dreamy quality of Humpty Dumpty. He suggested we push that further, make him more like da Vinci. It was del Toros idea to make Humpty an ingenious freak of nature who builds contraptions such as a flying machine. Del Toro rewrote the ending to redeem the character and deepen his relationship with Puss an unconventional conclusion for a childrens film. He helped design the fantasy elements of the giants castle, as well as the architecture of the town, which he conceived as an amalgam of Spain and Mexico. Except for Puss, the film features new characters. Citing the co writer, David H. Steinberg, It doesnt overlap with Shrek at all. Partly that was done to tell an original Puss story, but partly because we didnt know what Shrek 4 were going to do with the characters and we couldnt write conflicting storylines. The film was teased in Shrek Forever After, when Shrek finally shuts the book titled Shrek, and puts it away next to a book titled Puss in Boots. Puss in Boots is the first Dream. Works Animation feature film that was partly made in India. A Bangalore studio owned by Technicolor, which had mainly worked on TV specials and DVD bonus material, spent six months animating three major scenes in the film. The outsourcing had financial advantages, with 4. US, but the primary reason for outsourcing to India was lack of personnel, due to the studio producing as many as three films a year. The release date was originally set for November 4, 2. October 2. 8, 2. 01. Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing for Dream. Works Animation, said the decision to move the films release date a week earlier was to attract parents and their children to see the film before other family friendly movies were released in November 2. The film was renamed Cat in Boots in the United Arab Emirates for officially unknown reasons, but it is suspected for religious and cultural reasons. According to UAEs The National Media Council, which is responsible for censorship, UAE didnt have any involvement in the rename and that the decision to change the name had been made by the Hollywood studio and the movie distributors in the UAE. Consequently, since the films distributor was based in the UAE, the same print was syndicated to all theaters throughout the Middle East. However, the name change was limited to the films original theatrical run, as merchandise and later regional home media release retained the films original title. SoundtrackeditHenry Jackman, the composer for Puss in Boots, utilized folk instruments of traditional Latin music. Inspired by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, Jackman blended guitars and Latin percussion with an orchestral sound influenced by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
