Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street smart Kitty Softpaws and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty to save his town. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend…The Boots. The film is directed by Chris Miller (Shrek the Third), and features the voices of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris. A notorious fighter and lover, a rebel with a thirst for adventure who always lands on his feet as a cat should, Puss goes in search of treasure in a castle in the sky, aided by Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws. His mortal enemies are Jack and Jill, two outlaws who discover an ancient power which threatens the world.
To provide music to suit the character of the swaggering Puss and the voices of arch-Latino Banderas and Hayek, composer Henry Jackman used the folk instruments of traditional Latin music. His movie score also pays homage to the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, who is best-known for his nocturne for piano and orchestra Nights in the Gardens of Spain and the ballet music for The Three-Cornered Hat. Jackman blended guitars and Latin percussion with an orchestral sound that shows the Impressionist influences of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Jackman’s recent film scores include “X-Men: First Class” for director Matthew Vaughn and the animated feature “Winnie The Pooh.” His other credits include “Kick-Ass,” “Gulliver's Travels,” “Monsters vs. Aliens” (DreamWorks Animation), and “Henry IV.”
