Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review: a Wholesome, Entertaining Journey to Find Out the Meaning of Life
When Shrek 2 hit theatres in 2004, it brought to life a beloved fairytale character: Puss in Boots. Puss in Boots, hired by Princess Fiona’s father, set out to kill Shrek in the film but ended up with a recurring role in the franchise and a standalone film in 2011.
The daring feline may be cute, but his sword and charismatic personality make him a fan favorite throughout the franchise. Puss in Boots, his stand-alone film, was a huge success when it was released in 2011, becoming one of the year’s biggest animated releases.
Now in 2022, a long-awaited sequel to the 2011 film has arrived and hopes to make a name for itself during the busy holiday season: The Last Wish of Puss in Boots.
Plans for this film began shortly after the release of the first Puss in Boots film, and it was officially announced in 2014 that it was in the works. The title of the film was trademarked in 2020, and the entire cast was revealed in March 2022, months before the film’s release.
