‘Puss in Boots’ gets own movie

The movie: "Puss in Boots"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Voices of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, Amy Sedaris

Director: Chris Miller

The story: The swashbuckling feline's adventures -- before he encounters Shrek and friends.

The buzz: "Shrek 2's" breakout character finally gets his own animated movie, complete with a signature sword move -- a "P" (instead of the "Z" Banderas used playing Zorro in two live-action movies). It's the fifth collaboration between Banderas and Hayek; previous pairings range from "Frida" to "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" to "Spy Kids 3-D."
