the filmmakers decided to give puss "a heavy story" in "puss in boots"; they felt that breaking his heart would be "really important", and they wanted to offer him "something to redeem himself from and clear his name". they debated whether puss would be portrayed as a misunderstood fugitive. miller said that although puss could have been depicted as deceptive, the filmmakers had decided to portray him as blameworthy; robbing the bank was not puss's plan and he ran away "out of fear", but he had to take responsibility for his actions. miller stated that puss's "desire to believe the best in someone else" and to "hang on to a friendship" represent "the kind of things that get him in trouble". puss's backstory was meant to indicate the "heaviness on his mind and in his heart", and why he was on the run despite his "cool life". miller said that puss was a "pretty wide open" character when it came to his portrayal in the film; puss adds a dramatic note to everything, which the filmmakers used "to attach a very tragic story to his life". miller stated that "the heavy dramatic themes" fit puss's character well, making the character's journey a "story of redemption" in which "he sort of walks a dark path with a hole punched in his heart" and wishes "to clear away the sins of his past" and "reclaim what was his". miller said that puss in his cape affirmed "an urban legend"; although he wore it in marketing material, he rarely did so in the films. according to miller, puss's cape was "so expensive to keep strapped to that cat" and "so cumbersome" that the "puss in boots" filmmakers decided to have the character wear it for a short time, as in "shrek 2". miller felt that puss's "giant big eyes" would appeal to viewers. "puss in boots" executive producer guillermo del toro said that puss would be taken "to a completely different land which is very exotic" in the future adventure film "", since miller wanted the film to be set in a visually-different universe than "shrek"s.
