We talk to the stars on the red carpet in London at the UK Premiere of Puss In BootsPuss in Boots is the latest animated adventure by DreamWorks Animation, directed by Chris Miller (who directed Shrek the Third in 2007) and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro. The film, a prequel to the Shrek franchise, follows beloved kitty Puss in Boots in a wild adventure starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris.

Everyone shares their opinions on the daredevil feline lead characters and the actors behind them, as well as on the stunning animation and action sequences, post-happily-ever-after plot, and bad eggs (literally). Antonio Banderas divulges his surprise that he was ever hired to do English voiceover work and tells fans of the original Puss that baby Puss will blow their minds; Salma Hayek discussed her easy transition from live action movies to voicing a cat; and director Chris Miller shares who his favorite character from the movie is.  Even Amanda Holden, who played Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical, shares her enthusiasm about the film.
