The Dreamworks Animation feature takes a dark turn with some cues from Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns.
For the pivotal sequence, Crawford and co-director Januel P. Mercado took some influence from Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns and Akira Kurosawa’s films. “This is the moment where it gets gritty and everything changes tone. You get quicker cuts in the action, you get longer moments of pause, much like a Western,” Crawford says.
That’s the moment that we see Puss’ emotion change as he realizes the stakes of his situation. “It’s a surprisingly dark scene,” says head of story Heidi Jo Gilbert. “Most of the audience isn’t expecting to go in and see that dark of a scene in amovie.” Crawford adds that it was editor Jim Ryan’s idea to create the moment when Puss’ lives flash before his eyes.Courtesy of Dreamworks Animation
Viewers will notice a new visual style, which production designer Nate Wragg says was aimed at making the movie “feel like a contemporary fairy tale,” conceived by researching a more “impressionistic approach” to painting. “The Puss in Boots character before the Shrek franchise was born out of fairy tales, and the Shrek franchise [the first film, 2001’s, won the first Oscar for best animated feature] has a lot of fun in that creative space,” he explains. “When those movies were created, what we could do really well in CG animation was a more naturalistic feel.” He says with the latest computer animation software , “we’re able to bring a different creative vision to the computer and up onto the big screen.
This is evident in the bar moment between Puss and the Wolf. Explains Crawford, “The point of the scene was to have Puss feel fear and be aware of his mortality for the first time. Being able to express that, not literally but impressionistically, was like having another tool in our toolbox.”Courtesy of Dreamworks Animation
