Puss in Boots (Shrek)
Puss in Boots is a fictional cat and a supporting character in the Shrek film series, and appears as the main protagonist of the 2011 spin-off prequel Puss in Boots and TV series The Adventures of Puss in Boots. He is voiced in English, Spanish and Italian versions by Antonio Banderas. He is an anthropomorphic domestic cat and is based loosely on Giovanni Francesco Straparola and Charles Perrault's fairy tale character of the same name as well as the Spanish vigilante Zorro (Banderas portrayed Zorro in The Mask of Zorro and its sequel, The Legend of Zorro), is the main "other fairy tale character" in the three sequels. He was introduced in Shrek 2.
Recommended to King Harold by Doris (the Ugly Stepsister and barmaid of the Poison Apple Pub) as a famous Ogre Killer, Puss is hired by the king to assassinate Shrek. However, unlike his fairy tale counterpart, he does not try to trick the ogre into changing into a mouse, but instead makes a direct, frontal assault on Shrek, which works up until the feline gags on a hairball, spitting it up. Shrek and Donkey think of what to do with him as Donkey even proposes to give him the "Bob Barker treatment", but the swashbuckling cat begs for his life. Puss claims to have taken the contract to help his poor family, consisting of a litter of brothers, a sick mother and a father who lives off garbage. Ultimately, they spare his life, and Puss proposes to the ogre he owes a life debt to him, in thanks. Although there is some tension/rivalry between Puss and Donkey (who seems nervous that Puss is taking his place as "annoying talking animal" and as Shrek's best friend), the three eventually become close friends and allies.
Shrek appears to have accepted this debt, as Puss in Boots stays with him throughout the course of the film. When Shrek and Donkey enter the castle to find Fiona and are being chased by the castle's knights, Puss repays his debt to Shrek by holding them off with one of his signature tactics: Clutching his hat to his lower face, he transfixes the guards with a wide-eyed, appealingly innocent gaze. When they pause their charge to exclaim "Awww!" at such overwhelming cuteness, Puss counter-attacks. After Shrek and Fiona get back together, and the King turns back to a frog, Donkey finds out he has become a dad. Due to the hatred that has developed, Puss decides to be Donkey's friend.
Puss is introduced in Shrek 2 in events happening after Puss in Boots. Harold, the King of Far Far Away and the father of Princess Fiona, hires Puss to 'take care' of Shrek, under orders from the Fairy Godmother to dispose of the ogre so her son, Prince Charming, can marry Fiona instead. Puss uses Harold to draw Shrek and his companion Donkey into the woods, before springing a surprise attack on them. However, on meeting the two, he has a change of heart and apologizes for his actions, agreeing instead to help them. Despite Donkey's apprehension, Shrek is persuaded by his cute facade and agrees to take him on their quest to get a true love potion from the Fairy Godmother.
