However violent exchanges begin as soon as Puss in Boots saunters into a bar in search of a stiff drink of milk. Conversation concerns are contained to brief bouts of name-calling and some mild rude jokes.

Then the pals plant the seeds in a secluded desert location in hopes of getting dozens of golden eggs to share with the people of San Ricardo.ĭespite Puss’s reputation with the ladies and some implied intimate activity, the sexual content in the film is not overly overt. Teaming up with the recently released jailbird, Humpty, and the beautiful Kitty Softpaws (voiced by Salma Hayek), Puss acquires three magic beans from the mangy married couple Jack and Jill (voiced by Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris). Still he vows to return to the village and redeem his sullied reputation-especially in the eyes of his adopted mother and the villagers who lost their money in a bank heist. With his picture on wanted posters around the countryside, Puss has to lie low. And the cat is pegged as an accomplice in the crime and forced on the lam. As children, the boys dream of finding magical beans in the hopes of going on a celestial adventure to the land of a giant with a legendary goose that lays golden eggs.Īs a teenager however, Puss’s egg friend gets into hot water. There he befriends another abandoned character, Humpty Dumpty (voiced by Zach Galifianakis). Lost from his litter, Puss in Boots blows into the small town of San Ricardo where the compassionate Imelda (voiced by Constance Marie) invites him into her orphanage. In this case, Puss in Boots is a prequel, introducing audiences to the swashbuckling swordsman (voiced by Antonio Banderas) before he crossed paths with Shrek and Donkey in Shrek 2. But like any good television series, spin-offs ( The Bachelor, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Extreme Makeover for example) are always an option for films as well. After four films, the Shrek franchise wrapped up the story of the ornery green ogre who lives in a swamp and has to deal with relatives that are a royal pain.
