Review of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) by Mrdeven — 21 Dec 2022
Alright I know what you’re thinking after seeing the score of this review. “Sequels to spin-offs of beloved franchises are pointless exercises in brand awareness! Why on earth are you giving this one a 10?!?”.
Because this movie…is DIFFERENT than the others. Different in that it strives to be a funnier, deeper, prettier, bolder, edgier, (surprisingly) scarier and overall more complete experience than the original Puss in Boots film over 11 years ago, and unlike that movie holds a distinct accomplishment in simply being a darn fine animated film that stands on its own, one as good as any I’ve seen in the past few years.
The Shrekiverse is officially back, and judging by what DreamWorks managed to pull off here the world probably isn’t ready for whatever comes next.
PS: That cricket with the spot-on Jimmy Stewart voice is one of the funniest things I’ve seen this year, whoever came up with him deserves a pay raise and a medal and free coffee and recognition from the United Nations.
