[Introduction]
The story of the film happened before the cat met Shrek and the donkey, when it was still a swordsman hero who played the role of Zorro, robbing the rich and helping the poor. However, the cat can't sit still after a few old-fashioned villains in the tavern tell it that there are two brutal outlaws: Jack and Jael have found the ancient treasure and are ready to find it and destroy the world.
The cat found his good friend Humpty Dumpty, and Dumpty pulled Kitty Softpaws, a little black female cat, and started his own journey to maintain world peace. On this journey chasing the villain, Puss in Boots and his friends go on an unprecedented adventure.
One- sentence review
The film strikes a good balance between goofy boyishness and slightly grown-up humor. - "USA TODAY"
The film is a pleasing experience both in terms of visual effects and plot. - "Los Angeles Times" This
film is one of the best 3D films in mainstream animation. - "The Hollywood Reporter" behind the
scenes production
of a cat as the star of the Western,
whether in Antonio Banderas or in the life of Salma Hayek, cats have played an extremely important role. Hayek has had cats since he was a child. Among the cats she is raising now, there is a little female cat that was rescued by her own dog. Banderas also has cats himself. His mother-in-law is a staff member of an animal rescue station. In addition to cats and dogs, there are 72 lions. So, making a film about a cat's story is all too familiar for the two voice actors who contributed their voices in the film.
Salma Hayek said: "Actually, I prefer to have dogs. I have ten dogs in my house and a kitten that was rescued by the dog. This cat has no tail and is very pitiful. At first I would feel myself Dogs don't get along peacefully with cats, but after a while, I found that they get along very well. I think cats are very strange animals, gentle and independent, and have a lot of personality. So when Chris Miller asked me When I was willing to dub in this movie, I agreed without thinking, because I thought I should voice a cat in the movie. And I work with some good friends, which also makes me I am very happy. It is definitely a very interesting thing to be involved in the production of the animation, I have never dubbed the animator and the voice before, this experience is very wonderful."
For this Shrek series spin-off film , the absolute "protagonist" Banderas said: "I feel very sad to see the end of "Shrek", because it is rare to have such a counterculture cartoon again, and this cartoon has been It became a kind of mainstream culture. I saw how much the children loved this non-mainstream animated character and witnessed the ups and downs of Shrek. However, on the other hand, in Shrek, the It's also a good thing that another character has his own movie, because after all, I have a deep affection for this character. I hope this new series will be better and better. "Puss in Boots" and "Monster History" Lake is two completely different movies, and if Shrek is a typical parody and parody, Puss in Boots is a very traditional western. From an angle, it is very similar to Sergio Leone's movies, except for those comedy parts in the film. No matter in terms of characters, plot or the title that the director wants to express, it is exactly the same as Leone's movies. "
Shrek" director takes the helm again Although the
director of the film, Chris Miller, has not directed many works, he is a senior animator. From the first episode of the Shrek series, he participated in the production of the first three "Shrek", two "Madagascar" and "Battle of the Aliens". Moreover, he also wrote and directed "Shrek 3" by himself. In that film, he also gave his voice to three characters. Judging from this qualification, Chris Miller directing this film should be a no-brainer. However, things didn't always go as smoothly as expected.
Chris Miller said: "Before directing this film, I was a little nervous, because Shrek and Shrek are two completely different films. In Shrek, it is full of irony and satire on pop culture. It's a cultural tone that has been established since the first episode. But in this movie, I have to find a right style for it that can be shot and people love. Going back to the old way of "Shrek", Definitely not; if you repeat the style of other cartoons, it may not be recognized by the public. After choosing, I finally chose to shoot a film that combines comedy and action scenes. In this film , there are many action scenes, and many of the stories take place in a small town, which gives me a lot of creative elements. Plus we set the time background of the story as Puss in Boots meets History Before Lake, this way, there is more room for creation. According to my idea, I am going to make this film a complete entertainment film. That is to say, there is only funny entertainment in this film, Fight scenes and an almost constant stream of jokes and nothing like Shrek's rewrites of classic fairy tales, parodies of popular movies, etc. I think such a movie is purer and more enjoyable to watch Sex.”
Antonio Banderas, who has always voiced Puss in Boots, said: “It’s a character I know very well, and it’s a lot like the Zorro I’ve played. It was a huge treat for me. No pressure, no difficulties, no doubts. A lot of the scenes were one-off successes. And I had a great time working with Chris Miller. I was very satisfied with the filming It was also very enjoyable, I think I played Zorro again."
