Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for adventure has taken its toll: He has burned through eight of his nine lives, leaving him with only one life left. Puss sets out on an epic journey to find the mythical Last Wish and restore his nine lives.
What critics thought
Broadly praised for its striking animation style, surprisingly mature engagement with mortality, and Antonio Banderas's committed voice performance, the film won over most critics as a genuine creative revival for the Shrek franchise. The sharpest disagreements sit around tone: some found the death-awareness poignant and the action sequences thrillingly crafted, while others felt the relentless slapstick and quips actively buried the emotional stakes, and a minority dismissed the film as thin and forgettable altogether.
“Puss in Boots: The Last Wish mixes stunning animation with a poignant, surprisingly mature story to deliver the Shrek franchise's answer to Logan we didn't know we needed.”
Rafael Motamayor·IGN
“after a roaring start, the film sags a bit in the midsection as it becomes clear that we're in for a pretty standard quest.”
Christy Lemire·RogerEbert.com
“almost defiantly hopeless at emotion: the tone is teeth-gnashingly manic throughout, while the underlying point of Puss's quest is obscured by continuous flurries of slapstick and quips.”
Robbie Collin·The Daily Telegraph
“Too often, animated films feature supremely overpaid and overqualified voice casts whom children, and most adults, couldn't care less about. Banderas, on the other hand, is worth every penny.”
