A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.

"Master Cat, or The Booted Cat", commonly known in English as "Puss in Boots", is a European literary fairy tale about a cat who uses trickery and deceit to gain power, wealth, and the hand of a princess in marriage for his penniless and low-born master. The oldest record of written history dates from Italian author Giovanni Francesco Straparola, who included it in his "The Facetious Nights of Straparola" (c. 155053) in XIVXV. Another version was published in 1634, by Giambattista Basile with the title "Cagliuso". The tale was written in French at the close of the seventeenth century by Charles Perrault (16281703), a retired civil servant and member of the "Académie française". The tale appeared in a handwritten and illustrated manuscript two years before its 1697 publication by Barbin in a collection of eight fairy tales by Perrault called "Histoires ou contes du temps passé". The book was an instant success and remains popular.
  Perrault's "Histoires" has had considerable impact on world culture. The original Italian title of the first edition was "Costantino Fortunato", but was later known as "Il gatto con gli stivali" (lit. "The cat with the boots"); the French title was "Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités" with the subtitle "Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye" ("Stories or Fairy Tales from Past Times with Morals", subtitled "Mother Goose Tales"). The frontispiece to the earliest English editions depicts an old woman telling tales to a group of children beneath a placard inscribed "MOTHER GOOSE'S TALES" and is credited with launching the Mother Goose legend in the English-speaking world. "Puss in Boots" has provided inspiration for composers, choreographers, and other artists over the centuries. The cat appears in the third act "pas de caractère" of Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Sleeping Beauty", for example, and makes appearances in other media, most famously the sequels to the animated film "Shrek (film)". Puss in Boots is a popular pantomime in the UK. Carmen García Maura (born 15 September 1945) is a Spanish actress.
