Chris Miller, much like the title character in his new film, loves to have an audience. Though in the case of “Puss in Boots”, it’s not so much the man doing the flips, jumps and belly wiggles as it is the feline whose floating head occupies the one sheet. Miller, returning to the Shrekverse (he helmed “Shrek the Third”), may have worn the boots on the set of the blockbuster spin-off, but in the film it’s the ‘Puss’ who demands, and gets, the attention.  Miller speaks to Clint Morris about the machinations of crafting a spin-off from “Shrek”, how to use 3D as effectively as possible (and why 3D lends itself so well to animation) and whether he plans to take credit for the future successes of his namesake, the Chris Miller of “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” fame.

Are you hoarse yet, sir? I take it you’ve been speaking “Puss” for days now, if not weeks?

Actually, we’re finishing today [Laughs]. This is our last day of world promotion, though. And, actually, we’re still excited. But yep, this is the last stop… The last day of the last stop.

The final destination is Australia. Well, that makes sense.

That’s right.

Congratulations on the movie. Why Puss in Boots? Why not Donkey or one of the other characters?
