PUSS IN BOOTS AT SUPERIOR 3D CINEMA

-

“Puss in Boots 3D”) is a 2011 spin-off film which serves as a midquel to Shrek and a prequel to Shrek 2 will be screened at the Majestic Cineplex Superior 3D cinema from February 3.

Antonio Banderas will reprise his role as Puss in Boots. He is joined by new characters voiced by Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianak­is, Billy Bob Thornton, Amy Sedaris, Zeus Mendoza, and Walt Dohrn (who plays the narrator), as well as a few more.

The story takes place before Puss (Antonio Banderas) met Shrek and Donkey, when he was a swashbuckl­ing hero who protected the innocent.

The film starts out with Puss escaping from a man who had had him in a cage. He narrowly manages to get away and, after blowing kisses to the female cat he was leaving behind, he makes his way to a town. After being taunted and then gaining the respect of the thugs there, Puss learns that two murderous outlaws, Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris) have the magic beans, which hold an ancient power that can destroy the world. When Puss tries to take them from the two outlaws, another cat with a mask interrupts and tries to get them as well. Both fail and escape, and Puss follows the cat back to a bunch of other cats, where they both have a dance fight and a sword fight, ending with Puss smacking him over the head with a guitar, which hurts the cat so much that he rips his mask off and reveals to a surprised Puss that he is in fact a woman. Puss then meets Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianak­is) who also introduces her as Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek), named because she can take things without anyone even noticing they are gone (as she does frequently with Puss's hat, boots, and money simply to tease him) and asks him to join them in finding the beans, planting them, and getting the golden eggs which lie at the top. Puss immediatel­y refuses, and even after Kitty tries to woo him into going with them, he denies, and then tells her why.
