Until this year, my only Puss in Boots-related wish was that I would never have to sit through another film from the Shrek franchise as long as I lived. I must confess, the unexpectedly entertaining Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has entirely changed my mind!
Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) squandered eight of his nine lives with a devil-may-care panache. He sang, danced and swashbuckled his way through a legendary series of adventures but his melodious pursuit of a giant may have seen the bell toll for the last time on those carefree days. Then a standoff with a foe who cannot be quipped into submission shakes the marmalade marauder to his core.
What happens when the charismatic poster puss of living for tomorrow suddenly fears he will not make it through today? Mortality is a mighty foe.
For Puss, the answer is to put his life of...

Now, what would make this most “magical time of the year” more magical? How about a return visit from several of our favorite fairy tale friends? Oh, but hold up, this new release isn’t another animated romp with those two green lovebirds and their donkey Bff. But you’re close as its focus is another pal of theirs. It’s not his first solo outing, rather it’s a long-awaited (eleven years) follow-up. And talk about magic, it’s the big goal of him and all the other characters in Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. En Garde, kitty-cat…
After a brief prologue telling us about the legendary “wishing star” we’re tossed into the midst of a raucous party thrown by everybody’s “favorite fearless hero”, Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas), And wouldn’t you know it, the owner of the “locale estate” makes an unexpected return.

2022 has truly been a great year for animation, from stop-motion making a comeback in films like Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio" and Henry Selick's "Wendell & Wild," to Pixar's "Turning Red" proving the studio is still willing to experiment, and Netflix's "The Sea Beast" giving us thrilling seafaring action.
Then there's DreamWorks Animation, a studio best known as "The House That Shrek Built." Though it started out quite promising, with some phenomenal films in the late '90s and early '00s, the past few years have seen the studio devote itself to seemingly endless sequels -- some good, many rather mediocre.
That changed this year when DreamWorks released "The Bad Guys," a caper film with a delightfully stylized art style that mixed 3D and 2D. Now, the studio aims to repeat that success with "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," a sequel a decade in the making.

Audiophiles rejoice! The new Puss in Boots: The Last Wish teaser features Puss performing Asmr with purrfect gusto. In the teaser, Puss (Antonio Banderas) snuggles up to a finely-leveled microphone, presenting a collection of soothing sounds for everyone to enjoy. After speaking into the mic for a soft and sultry introduction, Puss brushes his boots with a course black brush. Following his fancy footwork, Puss laps at a shot glass filled with delicious, calcium-rich milk. From there, he purrs into the microphone with unbridled enthusiasm. Finally, he unsheaths his sword and begins tapping the metal with his sharpened claws. Unfortunately, Puss’ session for sensory overload gets cut short when Perro (Harvey Guillen) interrupts the experience. Chaos ensues, and Puss needs to re-record and reconsider his friendship with a dim-witted dog.
With a fresh new animation style, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish finds Puss discovering that he’s used up eight of his nine lives.

More than a decade after “Shrek” prequel/spinoff “Puss in Boots,” the flamboyant feline is up to his old tricks — but has yet to meet the computer-animated ogre whose party he’s destined to crash in “Shrek 2.” As that series wore on, the “Shrek” franchise took on so many popular side characters that by the fourth outing, there was hardly room left to swing a cat.
A knee-high hero who walks, talks and swashbuckles upright, Puss was one of the few tagalongs rich enough to warrant his own origin story. Now, director Joel Crawford (“The Croods: A New Age”) goes dark, bringing the fearless cat face to face with his own mortality. By forcing Puss to contemplate his priorities, the sequel more than justifies its own existence, while paving the way for how his path meets the big green guy’s.
The stakes may be more serious this time around,...
