SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, the voice for the character of Puss in Boots in the "Shrek" cartoon sequels, is setting up his own animation house.

Banderas' Green Moon Producciones, based in Spain, has teamed with Spanish animation studio Kandor Graphics to create an as-yet-unnamed cartoon production house, Variety.com reported Tuesday.

The company hopes to make five animated features during the next decade, starting with "The Missing Lynx," which is already in production, the trade newspaper said.

"Lynx" is directed by Kandor partners Manuel Sicilia and Raul Garcia, a former animator for Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks.

The movie is about a pack of critters that escape an eccentric millionaire's new Noah's Ark.
