Banderas: Puss a great character

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - From the outset, one of the keys to the popularity of the character of Puss in Boots was the voice that came out of the outlaw hero — Antonio Banderas.

Director Chris Miller says: “Puss in Boots is played by Antonio Banderas, or is Antonio Banderas played by Puss in Boots? I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to tell the two of them apart. But one thing’s for sure: One could not exist without the other, because Antonio brings such passion to the role. This tiny little creature should have, you would think, a squeaky voice — but out of his mouth comes this deep sound. There some real humor created in the juxtaposition of the two. Here’s this great actor with a massive voice, and he’s voicing this cute, furry animal. What I love about Antonio’s performance is when he takes himself the most seriously, and Puss is doing something truer to his nature, like chasing a point of light.” 

Banderas says of Puss, “He’s such a great character. There are so many different colors that we’ve been discovering since I started giving him my voice in 2002. He’s romantic and he’s an epic hero. He’s got a great heart.” 

Puss in Boots is released and distributed United International Pictures through Solar Entertainment Corp.
