    I’m pretty sure Puss In Boots, originally from 1550 Europe, is completely unrelated to Zorro, which even plays in a colonial region that didn’t exist before 1800.

      The dreamworks Puss in Boots voice actor is the actual Zorro live action actor.

      They made Puss in Boots a parody of Zorro, as an elaborate joke.

      It’s already funny, and gets even funnier as you realize it’s the actual Zorro actor playing a cat, doing a parody, of himself, as Zorro.

      This meme too is a new level of funny, when you realize both charachters are the same actor.

      In this case, they’re related by being played by the same actor. This incarnation of Puss n Boots was definitely influenced by Antonio Banderas’ Zorro
