Dreamworks' "Puss In Boots" (2011) Quiz

Answer: Jack and Jill

Puss In Boots is just trying to enjoy his cup of leche (milk) in the bar when the other patrons begin to mock him. When they realise it's not a good idea to mess with him, they give him ideas of where he can make his next big score: "murderous outlaws" Jack and Jill have managed to get hold of the legendary magic beans that grow into a beanstalk up to the Land of Giants, where the Golden Goose lives in the giant's castle, laying golden eggs. Jack and Jill are a married couple, and after their next score, Jack suggests that they stop thieving and murdering so much so that they can have a baby! Jill isn't keen and Jack has to be content with parenting their pigs instead.

Answer: A guitar

This other thief gets Puss caught by Jack and Jill and after escaping he follows her to a bar, ready to fight for the magic beans. To his astonishment, his opponent begins dancing instead of fighting: Tuesday night is Dance Fight night in this bar! After a fierce dance battle, with moves including the Litter Box, the two clash swords. Puss is disarmed by his opponent and resorts to hitting her over the head with a guitar.

He is shocked when she removes her mask and he realises she is female, insisting he's a lover, not a fighter! She is none other than legendary thief Kitty Softpaws.

Answer: San Ricardo

When Humpty Dumpty approaches Puss to recruit him on his quest to find the magic beans and the golden eggs, Puss is angry and wants nothing to do with him. He confides in Kitty that as an orphaned kitten, he found an orphanage in the town of San Ricardo, where the human Imelda raised him and the other children as her own. Puss is quiet and reserved until he sees other kids bullying the egg, Humpty Dumpty, and they become friends after Puss defends him. Humpty is the one who gives Puss his name and shows him his collection of beans; he has been trying to find the magic beans of legend so that he can fulfil his dream of finding a golden egg.

They form Bean Club and quest together to finally gets their hands on the elusive beans. It is suggested that San Ricardo is in Spain, as there are various references to the country, which apparently exists in the "Shrek" universe!

Answer: He tricked him into robbing the bank.

As they grow up and became teenagers, Humpty and Puss get into all sorts of trouble around San Ricardo. After getting caught stealing for the third time in a month, the comandante assures Imelda that the next time it happens, they will be arrested and taken to the town jail.

While Imelda defends them to the comandante, when he is gone, she urges Humpty and Puss to change their ways and be the good kids she knows they can be. Puss's reputation changes overnight after he rescues the comandante's mother and Humpty begins to resent him as he becomes a fighter for justice and is given his distinctive boots. Humpty descends ever deeper into his life of crime and one dark night desperately asks Puss for help getting over a wall to escape from a gang he owes money to: unbeknown to Puss, it's the wall into the bank! Forced into becoming Humpty's getaway driver, Puss is also blamed for the robbery and escapes San Ricardo, leaving Humpty to get arrested. Both accuse the other of betrayal.

Answer: She was declawed.

Kitty often teases Puss by demonstrating her pickpocketing skills on him. When they are in Jack and Jill's carriage during a high-speed chase trying to steal the magic beans, Puss gets frustrated because Kitty isn't using her claws to open the box containing the beans, and under pressure Kitty admits that she has no claws. Later, after telling Kitty she is even better at thieving than the rumours say, Puss says he will respect her privacy regarding her claws but Kitty confides in him that she was a stray cat before a nice couple gave her a home.

She is confused because although they were very loving, one day she woke up without her claws. Declawing a cat is regarded as animal cruelty in various countries and contrary to its name does not only involve removing the claw but the whole first bone of the digits. Cats certainly must be very surprised to wake up without their claws one day and some develop behavioural issues after the procedure.

Answer: The Golden Goose's mother

Up in the clouds, the thin air causes our friends' voices to become high-pitched, like they have breathed in helium. They head into the giant's castle, where Puss offers to fight the giant, and Humpty tells him that the giant died years before. But they must try to avoid the Great Terror that guards the Golden Goose, as legend says whoever faces it turns to stone! Humpty disguises himself as a golden egg to fit in with the Goose's other eggs and is overjoyed to join them in the Goose's habitat, describing it as "egg paradise".

It turns out the golden eggs are far too heavy to carry comfortably, so the trio decide to abscond with the Golden Goose instead, for a never-ending supply of golden eggs. The Goose is just a chick, and they are chased down by her mother, a giant bird trying to rescue her baby.

Answer: True

After managing to escape with the Golden Goose, our friends have a dance around the campfire, celebrating the fact that now they will be rich and can repay San Ricardo. Puss and Kitty have a bit of a romantic moment and he suggests that they stay together after their quest is over, but Kitty becomes upset and tells Puss he must leave. Humpty interrupts before she can elaborate and they settle down for the night.

But then Jack and Jill turn up and knock out Puss, who wakes up to find himself alone by the campfire.

He returns to San Ricardo where he thinks Jack and Jill are attacking Humpty - but instead they are celebrating together! The whole scheme has been part of Humpty's plot for revenge against Puss, who he still blames for abandoning him after the bank robbery and getting him put into prison.

They have set Puss up and he is arrested for his role in the bank robbery; he tries to explain but his mother thinks he is making excuses for his behaviour and begs him to own up to his actions and stop fighting the guards. Puss is arrested, devastated that Kitty was part of the plot all along.

Answer: Jack Beanstalk

Puss is locked up, unable to explain how he ended up involved in the bank robbery all those years ago, and ends up sharing a cell with Andy Beanstalk, whose friends call him Jack. Jack explains how Humpty Dumpty served his sentence in that very cell and stole his magic beans from him.

He warned Humpty against taking the Goose because he knew that the Great Terror was the bird's mother, who would stop at nothing to get her baby back. Puss realises that destroying San Ricardo is also part of Humpty's plan, in revenge for imprisoning him for the robbery but the guards don't listen when he tries to inform them of the danger.

Answer: Kitty

Desperate to get the guard to listen to his warnings about the danger facing San Ricardo, Puss tries meowing all night to get his attention. When he cracks and comes to tell Puss to be quiet, he finds it hard to resist Puss's famous big-eyed kitty stare! Hypnotised by the cuteness, he opens the door and drops his weapon, but comes to his senses and sprays the "Diablo Gato" with water! However, Kitty Softpaws has good timing and incapacitates the guard and returns Puss's belongings.

She asks for his forgiveness and tells him that he made her realise that she cared about him more than getting rich.

While they reconcile, the guards catch up with them and Kitty stays behind to let Puss escape to repay betraying him.

Answer: Yes

Humpty and Puss team up and take the Golden Goose over the bridge out of San Ricardo, hoping the mother will follow. The bridge collapses and Humpty and the Goose are left dangling off it precariously while the mother is trapped under the debris. Humpty realises that Puss cannot save both him and the Goose before the rope snaps, and he knows that Puss will not abandon him again, so he lets go, sacrificing himself to save the town from the mother's wrath. After the baby is rescued, Puss returns to Humpty, discovering that underneath his white eggshell exterior, he is golden inside, showing that he was always a "good egg" inside. The Goose's mother takes the golden egg back with her. Is that the end of Humpty? It seems so considering the evidence of his smashed shell, but there is a during-credits scene showing Humpty in his golden egg suit happy with the mother goose and her baby. It's not clear whether this signifies that Humpty has survived after all or that this is his idea of heaven!

Unfortunately for Puss, despite the celebration of the townspeople for his and Humpty's heroic deeds, he is still considered an outlaw and after saying farewell to his mother Imelda, he goes off into the sunset - accompanied by Kitty Softpaws, of course!
