I attended an advanced screening for my review. All opinions are my own.
“This fall, everyone’s favorite leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns.
For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet.
Academy Award® nominee Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious PiB as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Oscar® nominee Salma Hayek).
In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Oscar® nominee Florence Pugh, Black Widow) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (Emmy winner John Mulaney, Big Mouth) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura, Narcos).
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish features an all-star comedic cast that includes Oscar® winner Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone (Black Widow), Samson Kayo (Sliced), Emmy nominee Anthony Mendez (Jane the Virgin) and Tony nominee Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Trolls World Tour).”
I am a fan of the character Puss in Boots. I was excited that a sequel to the first Puss in Boots movie was coming out. My kids and I really enjoyed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Once again, I loved Antonio Banderas as the voice of Puss. You can tell he is having fun. I enjoyed the addition of the Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. I loved the family dynamic that they had. My kids absolutely loved the character of Perro, a cute little dog that goes along with Puss and Kitty on their adventure.
I really enjoyed the animation style of the film. It has a unique look to it. It has a painting, storybook illustration vibe. It was very fitting for the film.
Content wise, there is some rude, adult humor and some funny jokes with bad language, which is ‘beeped’ out as part of the joke.
My kids and I loved Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. I think that this movie would be great to enjoy together as a family this holiday season.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish gets bragging rights!
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is now playing in theaters. It is rated PG.
