Puss In Boots The Last Wish
3D Movie Review

Another DreamWorks Animation film, and another terrific 3D presentation. From the start of the studio logos (including the debut of the new DreamWorks logo which is great in 3D) to the end credits, the entirety of Puss in Boots the Last Wish is fantastic to see in 3D! The colors all pop despite the 3D glasses adding darkness to the picture. There is a ton of depth on display and plenty of pop-outs too. Puss’s trademark hat is especially fun to see in 3D. The camera zooms in, and the feather in the hat kept bobbing in and out of the screen and this is an interesting unique effect. The opening action scene where Puss is dueling with a sleepy giant is a grandiose display of everything good on this 3D buffet. Swords like to point outward toward the audience, it almost felt like the swords were trying to poke out the eyes of the audience. Environments feel natural, real, and full of 3D depth, and the horizons stretch out to infinity. The only issue that I had was with a bit of shimmering. Some of the whiskers and fur seems to have Moirè effect. Overall, this is the best 3-D in an animated movie released in 2022. Don’t hesitate, go watch Puss in Boots the last wish in 3D now if you can!
Final Verdict:Great 3D, Editors Choice 3D Award

Movie
It has been over a decade since the last time we have seen any character from the Shrek universe on the big screen. Alas, it's been a dozen years since Shrek Forever After and eleven years since the first Puss in Boots film released, and I couldn't feel any older. I've been watching these films since I was a wee teenager in middle school, and now here I am watching another Shrek film in 2022 as an adult, and I regret nothing!
Taking place, several years after the events of the original Puss in Boots movie, this sequel opens on our eponymous hero celebrating his latest triumph in style. Of course, being an outlaw, Puss is celebrating in the house of the governor who was supposedly gone but has surprisingly returned. One thing leads to another and eventually Puss dies. The town's resident doctor / barber / taxidermist informs Puss that's he's on his last life (since cats have nine lives), and recommends that he retires to a life of peaceful solitude. Puss wastes away his worries at the local bar, and after knocking back a few mugs of leché (milk in Spanish), he comes across a bounty hunter who manages to unnerve the unflappable hero. Puss eventually retires to the local cat lady's house. After a rough start to his retirement, Puss manages to get renamed "Pickles", and makes a friend in a dog disguised as a cat, who is named Perro (dog in Spanish). Goldilocks and her criminal Bear Family are on the hunt for Puss. Goldilocks wants Puss to help them steal the map to the last star, from the evil Jack Horner. The last star guarantees the finder one wish. During the heist for the map, Puss manages to come across his old flame / rival, Kitty Softpaws. Kitty is in the process of stealing the map too, and she barely manages to escape the clutches of Horner. Now Kitty, Puss and Perro team up, to prevent Jack Horner from getting the star. Along the way the trio learn to work together, and Kitty and Puss form an unstoppable bond which awakens old feelings that they once had for one another. The story has a couple of decent, but mild, twists. While the plot itself is predictable (the movie’s only flaw) in its eventual destination, the journey itself is a worthy one.
This film shouldn't have worked, (like at all) but it does. The Shrek universe started off as a refreshingly edgy take on fairy tales that gradually got dulled down to being a toothless and super bland family friendly affair. This film is a surprisingly refreshing movie. The edgy humor is back, and it even includes an allotment of bleeped-out curse words, all balanced out with a sweet and heart-filled story.
The animation is simply beautiful, and it has a unique art style that is impressive. The colorful and snazzy environments manage to fit the fairy-tale setting perfectly. Character designs are top-notch and fit right at home within the rest of the Shrek universe. The rendering of the fur must've been a nightmare for the animators to perfect, but it looks so real. Puss in Boots the Last Wish is a real stunner for CGI animation!
The voice cast, headlined by Antonio Banderas as our hero, is simply fantastic and he manages to bring Puss to life with humor and heart. Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws also delights as his partner in crime, but it's Harvey Guillén's scene-stealing performance as Perro that delights throughout. The rest of the cast is also great, with John Mulaney being a fun and totally heartless Jack Horner, and Florence Pugh as Goldilocks also being a standout. The entire voice cast brings their A game.
Puss In Boots the Last Wish manages to explore the meaning of life and one's self-worth. It's surprisingly mature for a kid’s animated film, and doesn't talk down to the younger audience, at all. Like I previous said, it shouldn't have worked but it does. Puss In Boots the Last Wish is simply the best animated film of 2022 and is one of the best DreamWorks films in years.
Final Verdict: 9/10 and Editors Choice Movie Award
