- It is his take on the original tale, "Constantino Fortunato," written by Giovanni Francisco Straparola, which was also re-envisioned by Giambattista Basile in "Cagliuso."
- Perrault introduces new features to the character (boots, ornate clothes, male cat) and presents his own take on the story's "moral."
- Puss in Boots has made it to the big screen in the popular, mainstream Dreamworks films Shrek 2 and Puss in Boots.]]> 2022-03-17 03:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcohen197/sgee93cyfqg1jl86/wish/2099283149 Problem/Question jcohen197 https://padlet.com/jcohen197/sgee93cyfqg1jl86/wish/2099288641 - How has Puss in Boots changed over time?
