Supersized Puss in Boots in 'Shrek' Sequel
by Mike Ryan · April 19, 2010
Reminiscent of Michael Corleone in "The Godfather," who transformed from a civilian to a cold-hearted Mafia boss, another iconic character takes a dramatic turn this summer. Yes, Puss in Boots appears in the fourth Shrek film, "Shrek Forever After," and he has let himself go.
Unfortunately for Puss in Boots (voiced by Antonio Banderas), a decision made by our hero Shrek results in his loss of sword, hat, and, well, boots. In exchange, we find an overweight housecat that is too lethargic to even chase a mouse that helps himself to Puss' milk.
The fat-cat changes came about because all Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) wanted was a day to live his former life - you know, back when people were afraid of him and left him alone. He's in luck! A new character in the "Shrek" universe, Rumpelstiltskin, presents him with an offer he can't refuse (hey, just like the Corleone family).
In exchange for one day of his life, Shrek is given his day of relaxation. Unfortunately, the day Rumpelstiltskin takes away is the day that Shrek was born. Ah, Rumpelstiltskin tricked him! This event sets up an "It's a Wonderful Life"-type scenario. Shrek is forced to see what life would be like without him, and Puss in Boots suffers the paunchy consequences, as we see in this recently released clip.
"Shrek Forever After" premieres April 21 at the Tribeca Film Festival and will open nationwide on May 21
