Differences From The Original Story
In the film, the ogre's shape changing abilities and other magical powers are granted by a necklace which he must wear to survive during daylight. Also changed from the original tale, is that the ogre wants to marry the Princess. He offers the king unlimited gold, jewels and diamonds for his marrying the king's daughter, but the king refuses. When Puss in Boots tricks the ogre into morphing into a mouse, the ogre escapes him and realizes the trick, and then morphs into a large monster and attempts to kill him. But his necklace is stolen, and the princess, king, miller's son and cat are able to prevent him from catching the necklace by dawn.
In the film, the mice are on the side of the miller's son after an initial confrontation with Puss in Boots.

Famous quotes containing the words differences, original and/or story:
“The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“All good things were at one time bad things; every original sin has developed into an original virtue.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I read a part of the story of my excursion to Ktaadn to quite a large audience of men and boys, the other night, whom it interested. It contains many facts and some poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
