He found Puss in the desert after Puss was forced to leave his home town and taught Puss the ways of the sword. El Guante Blanco also wears a hat, belt and sword but does not wear boots.

    • Production

    The series was announced in March 2014 as part of an agreement between Netflix and DreamWorks Animation, under which the studio will develop more than 300 hours of exclusive programming for the service. A total of 78 episodes are in production for the series, and they are expected to be released in blocks from 2015 onward in a multi-year deal.

    Critical reception

    The New York Times gave the first episode a positive review stating that the show "is nicely drawn, and San Lorenzo is populated with some appealingly odd young residents, human and otherwise." Moreover, they praised the humour stating that it was "relatively sophisticated (you could write a psychological treatise on Dulcinea, who has modeled her life on a somewhat vacuous book of epigrams), but not so sophisticated that children will be left behind."

    Accolades

    In 2015, the second episode of the series, "Sphinx", was nominated at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

    In 2016, the series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Casting for an Animated Series or Special.

    Comic book

    In April 2016, Titan Comics released the first of a two-issue limited series of comic books as a tie-in to the TV show, under the same title of The Adventures of Puss in Boots.
