Trivia

Puss in Boots' endearing "doe-eyes" scenes are an homage to the famous Pity Kitty series by artist Gig, a popular children's illustrator in the '60s and '70s.

One of the women of San Ricardo describes Puss's boots as being made of soft, Corinthian leather. This is a reference to the Chrysler Cordoba commercial of 1975 wherein Ricardo Montalban described the seats as being made of "soft, Corinthian leather". Montalban costarred with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003).

When Kitty softpaws, Humpty and puss are in the giants cloud lair, the high altitude causes their voices to raise in pitch, Humpty explains that is caused by the low pressure due to the height. However, when the trio exit the lair (when they are falling) their voices are normal in pitch and somehow not high at all.

When Puss, Kitty Softpaws, and Humpty Dumpty are up in the Giant's castle, the golden eggs are too heavy for them to pick up easily, which is why they steal the goose instead. Once they get back on the ground and are in their camp for the night, they each take one of the new eggs the goose has laid and hold it up, with one hand, to salute their victory. It's later revealed that Humpty's plan, however, was always to steal the Golden Goose itself, rather than just eggs, so the heaviness of the eggs may have been a ruse.

What is Puss N Boots about?

Puss N Boots is an animated fantasy adventure comedy western and a spin-off and prequel to Shrek, in which the Zorro-like Puss N Boots (Antonio Banderas), before he crossed paths with Shrek and Donkey, was an outlawed hero, seeking to clear his name, whom agrees to help Humpty Alexander Dumpty (Zach Galifianakski) his former friend who betrayed him and his accomplice Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) to steal magic beans from the notorious outlaws Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris) and break into the giant's castle and retrieve golden eggs and for Puss N Botts to clear his name.

Other than Puss himself, is there any other overlap with the Shrek universe?

No, the producers kept all the other Shrek characters out of the story to avoid storyline conflicts with the then in-production Shrek Forever After (2010).
