While Shrek was, himself, a generic ogre that could have appeared in any number of fairy tales over the course of time, Puss in Boots has a more specific origin. The story of Puss in Boots actually dates to Italy in the 1550s when the first fairy tale about a cat using trickery and cunning to gain wealth, power, and the hand a princess in marriage was written. The story has been told and retold countless times in the centuries since.
