Although the director of the film, Chris Miller, has few directing works, he is a senior animator. Starting from the first episode of the Shrek series, he participated in the production of the first three "Shrek", two "Madagascar" and "War Aliens". Moreover, he wrote and directed "Shrek 3". In that movie, he sent his own voice for three characters. Judging from this kind of qualifications, it should be easy for Chris Miller to direct this movie. However, the development of things is always not as smooth as imagined.
Chris Miller said: "Before directing this movie, I was a little nervous, because this and Shrek are two completely different movies. Shrek is full of irony and satire on pop culture. It’s a cultural tone determined from the first episode. But in this movie, I have to find a correct style that can be filmed and be loved by people. Go back to the old path of "Shrek", It is definitely not possible; if you repeat the style of other cartoons, it may not be recognized by the public. I chose to choose, and I finally chose to shoot a movie that combines comedy and action scenes. In this movie In, there are many action scenes, and many stories take place in a small town, which gives me a lot of creative elements. In addition, we set the time background of the story as the cat in boots meets the history Before Lake, this way, the creative space is even bigger. According to my idea, I am going to turn this movie into a complete entertainment film. In other words, there is only funny entertainment in this movie. Fighting scenes and almost a steady stream of jokes, instead of the rewriting of classic fairy tales in "Shrek", parody of popular movies, etc. I think such a movie is more pure and more enjoyable. sex."
Antonio Banderas, who has been dubbing cats in boots, said: "This is a role I am familiar with, and it is very similar to the Zorro I played. So, shooting this movie is for me It’s a huge enjoyment. There is no pressure, no difficulties, no doubts. Many of the scenes are a one-time success. And my collaboration with Chris Miller is also very enjoyable. Shooting this movie makes me very satisfied and enjoyable. , I think I played Zorro again."
