Puss in Boots (2011)

Puss in Boots is a Spanish anthropomorphic talking cat, who is named for his signature pair of boots. A fugitive on the run from the law, Puss is seeking to restore his lost honor. He learns that the outlaw couple Jack and Jill have the magic beans he has been looking for most of his life, which can lead him to a giant’s castle. The castle holds valuable golden goose eggs. When Puss tries to steal them from the outlaws’ room, a ruthless hitcat that was hired to kill him interrupts, and both fail. The hitcat turns out to be a female cat named Kitty Softpaws and is allied with Humpty Alexander Dumpty, a friendly talking egg and Puss’ long-estranged childhood best friend from the orphanage where he was raised. Puss tells Kitty his origin story and of his feelings of betrayal for a youthful misadventure when Humpty tricked Puss into helping commit a bank robbery in his hometown of San Ricardo; Puss has been on the run ever since. Humpty eventually convinces Puss to join them in finding the beans and retrieving the golden eggs.

The trio steals the beans from Jack and Jill and plant them in the desert. Puss and Kitty’s relationship becomes romantic. The trio rides the beanstalk into the clouds to find the castle of the late giant, while avoiding the Great Terror, a giant monster that guards the Golden Eggs. When they realize the golden eggs are too heavy to carry, they steal the Goose, which is just a gosling, and escape the castle. While celebrating their victory, the group is ambushed by Jack and Jill, who knocks Puss unconscious.
