Puss in Boots The Last Wish has finally released in the UK and I have now been able to watch the film in all its glory.
Puss in Boots The Last Wish is truly as good as everyone has been saying and is by far one of the best animated films to come out in years. The story focuses on Puss having only one life left and setting off on a mission to find the wishing star. It’s a quite simple story but is a very emotional and impactful one. Puss goes on an incredible journey in this film where he goes from having this big ego due to being a legend to finding out what really matters to him.
The side characters in this film are also fantastic. Staring with Salma Hayaks Kitty Softpaws who is a great partner for Puss. Both Antonio and Salma have fantastic chemistry and bounce off each other perfectly they really are a perfect match. Florence Pugh also does a great job as the voice of Goldilocks, who in the trailer comes off as a generic villain but when you see the film you see the complexities of her character and at the end of the day she is just looking for her family. The filmmakers use her character to show that family can come from anywhere even if you are different you can still be a family and that’s a beautiful message. Now I can’t forget my favourite character from this film and that is Harvey Guillens Perro who is a fantastic addition to the Shrek Universe. He is absolutely hilarious everything he is on screen but also has one of the most heartbreaking backstories ever. He is very much the Donkey to a Puss and I hope we see a lot more of him in the future.
I would also like to shoutout the animation style used in this film. It’s very unique and makes it standout from other animated films out there right now. The action in this film is absolutely great as well and is up there with the action scenes from the Spider-verse films.
Finally I would like to touch on the ending which shows Puss, Softpaws and Perro going to the land of Far Far Away and teases the return of the Shrek franchise in full. DreamWorks hasn’t announced any future Shrek films but with the success of this film I am hopeful to see more of this universe and a proper Shrek sequel with Shrek 5.
That’s my review of Puss In Boots The Last Wish, so have you seen the film and what did you think of it.
