FAQ
Puss in Boots made an appearance in Shrek 2 in 2004 and again in Shrek the Third in 2007. While Shrek and Princess Fiona are original creations of William Steig, a children's book author, Puss in Boots comes from a French fairy tale written down by Charles Perrault hundreds of years ago. The animators of the film obviously found inspiration from Gustave Dore's illustrations of the tale. Below are links to the first Shrek movie and William Steig's original book.
