Puss in Boots: The Last Wish hits theaters on Dec. 21, 2022.
Puss in Boots has always been a bit of an outsider in the Shrek movies; darker, more serious, but still fitting with the goofy tone of the films when needed. The first solo Puss in Boots movie felt like a breath of fresh air, a proper adventure rather than just a pastiche, and now, over a decade later, Puss in Boots returns once again to breathe new life into the Shrek franchise with one of the best animated movies of the year. There are pop culture references and needle drops, but they are in service of a rather mature and complex story about facing death and embracing life as it follows an adventurer at the tail end of his life. Make no mistake, this is the Logan of the Shrek franchise we didn't know we needed.
After countless death-defying stunts and adventures, Puss in Boots is at the top of his game. The cat feels invincible and constantly brags about his exploits in song, and puts himself in unnecessary danger — that is, until he discovers he's on his last life and it can all end at any moment. Worse yet, he's being chased by death incarnate, Big Bad Wolf (a fantastic and terrifying Wagner Moura). His only salvation? A mythical wishing star that can grant him his lives back, if he gets to it before a collection of fairy tale characters beats him to the treasure.

Puss in Boots
The Logan comparison is not just in tone, but in action too, as Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has some of the best action you’ll see in a Western-animated film. The camera movement is dynamic, unafraid to shift to inventive positions or give us unusual angles to place us right in the middle of the action, which at times feels like a big-budget anime. The film even plays with frame rate like Into the Spider-Verse did, shifting between 24 and 12 frames depending on Puss' confidence. In the first action scene in the movie, where Puss fights a stone giant, the animation is fluid and fast paced, as Puss feels invincible. Later, when fighting Big Bad Wolf, he is animated on twos (12 frames per second), slowing down, losing his confidence, realizing he can be beaten. Also like Into the Spider-Verse, The Last Wish is a technicolor marvel, using a painterly style to give the film a fairy tale look.
With gorgeous visuals that pop out of the screen, animation that blends 3D and 2D in exhilarating ways to deliver thrilling action scenes, and a poignant yet life-affirming story, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is one of the best animated movies of the year, and a great return to form for the franchise.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish takes not only the Shrek franchise, but DreamWorks Animation to exciting new places. This is a spaghetti western-inspired tale of an aging cowboy on one last adventure with some rather mature themes, aided by stunning animation that mixes 3D with 2D effects, and a painterly style that gives the film a unique look.
