Puss in Boots (2011), 7 {nm}

PG | 1h 30min | Animation, Action, Adventure | 28 October 2011
An outlaw cat, his childhood egg-friend and a seductive thief kitty set out in search for the eggs of the fabled Golden Goose to clear his name, restore his lost honor and regain the trust of his mother and town.
Director: Chris Miller
Stars: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis.
Laura Gorenstein Miller ... choreographer


At least 2 dance numbers in the film, each with a pair of characters: Puss and Kitty Softpaws, but very different intents for each dance. Good stuff.

Another fun film. Ignores the fairy tale of PnB, and the Shrek series (this is a prequel), except that the look, personality and voice of PnB comes from the Shrek films. The story weaves some classic fairy tale characters/stories together, mostly Humpty Dumpty, Jack in the Beanstalk, and Jack and Jill. 

Rated 6.6 (131,327)

Dreamworks, dir. Miller; 7
