Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street smart Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayak) and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) to save his town.

Complicating matters along the way are the notorious outlaws Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris), who will do anything to see that Puss and his band do not succeed. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend…and, of course, The Boots.

A purr of a spin-off

Chris Miller is a born multi-tasker. Animator, story artist, performer, filmmaker — a graduate of the prestigious California Institute of the Arts/Film and Animation department, Miller commanded a successful career in commercial, video and film work before landing at the then-young DreamWorks Animation Studio SKG as a story artist on the studio’s first animated comedy hit, ‘Antz.’

After that, he became a ground-floor member of an elite group that would change animation history: as a story artist on the Academy Award-winning film, ‘Shrek,’ head of story on the hit follow-up ‘Shrek 2’ and director of ‘Shrek the Third’ (not to mention voicing several memorable characters along the way, such as beloved penguin Kowalski in the Madagascar films and Magic Mirror in Shrek) Chris found himself an integral part of the most successful animated film series of all time.
