While Shrek Forever After was slated to be the last and final Shrek film, the land of Far Far Away is not lost to the silver screen entirely.
A planned spinoff film featuring Antonio Banderas’ suave swashbuckling cat Puss in Boots is in the works, and the studio has issued our first look at his emotional rival – Kitty.
The love story between anthropomorphic cats will launch Dreamworks effort to keep the world of Shrek alive without the awkward ogre, and Puss is as good of a character as any to pass the torch to. I felt the fat Puss in Forever After was wasted, so this gives us another taste.
I agree that Shrek’s story had more than run its course and to make more would be less and less inviting. A spinoff would be the only way of making this work.
