Footage from the Sydney Premiere of Puss in Boots

Even though I was invited, and really wanted to go, alas I could not make the Sydney premiere of “Puss in Boots” but our good friends over at Paramount Pictures Australia have sent over a little video footage to make us all feel a little better. Here we see stars Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and director Chris Miller walking the red carpet, signing autographs and generally having a great time. Did I say how much I wanted to be there :-(

“Puss in Boots” opens across Australia on December 8th.
