Puss in Boots (2011 film)

Puss in Boots is a 2011 American computer-animated fantasy adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is directed by Chris Miller, who also directed Shrek the Third (2007), from a screenplay by Tom Wheeler and a story by Brian Lynch, Will Davies, and Wheeler. It stars Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Amy Sedaris.
A spin-off of the Shrek franchise, taking place after Shrek Forever After, and rather than an adaptation of the Puss in Boots fairytale, the film follows the character Puss in Boots on his adventures prior to his first appearance in Shrek 2 (2004). Accompanied by his friends, Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws, Puss is pitted against Jack and Jill, two murderous outlaws in ownership of legendary magical beans that lead to a great fortune.
The film was released in theaters on October 28, 2011 in 2D, Digital 3D, and IMAX 3D formats. Puss in Boots received positive reviews from critics, grossed $554.9 million at the box office, and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 84th Academy Awards. A television series spin-off from the film titled The Adventures of Puss in Boots premiered on Netflix in 2015. A sequel, titled Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, is set to be released on September 23, 2022.
