Consistent with the general filmmaker's blueprint for fairy tale revisionism, warm and fuzzy characters are transformed into edgy ones in Dreamworks' latest animated action adventure comedy about brotherhood, betrayal, revenge, and redemption.Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), a suave outlaw on the run, is persuaded by the femme fatale Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) to team up with the scheming Dumpy (Zach Galifianakis) to join in the plot to steal the magic beans from Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris), a husband and wife bandit team.
Featured are dynamic vocal performances. In their fifth film together, Banderas and Hayek's onscreen chemistry sparks, displaying a good match in their portrayal of strong feline fighters. However the most complex character Dumpy, a multidimensional, vindictive villain, is portrayed by Zach Galifianakis. Pleasing the fans is executive producer Guillermo del Toro, voicing the Comandante of San Ricardo village.
Set in crystal clear, immersive and magnificent 3D visuals is the perfect marriage of composer Henry Jackman's music and Laura Gorenstein Miller's beautifully choreographed dance scenes that humorously blend flamenco, Latin ballroom, and contemporary dance sequences. Along with Tom Wheeler's screenplay filled with jokes, the feature is sure to entertain the entire family.
