Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos (2012)
Puss in Boots is on a mission to recover the Princess' stolen ruby from the notorious French thief, Whisperer. Reluctantly accompanied by three little kittens, Three Diablos, Puss must tame them before they endanger the mission.
In Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “cat adventure”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, family, trust, betrayal, mentorship.
