Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

The first Puss in Boots made a rather mediocre impression on me, but The Last Wish completely captivated me in the cinema. Thanks to the unconventional animation, like this year's The Bad Guys or Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the film seemed to gain another, unprecedented dimension, which at times strongly evoked comic book art and added to the Cat's action zest. Then, of course, there's the story, which, while inherently simple and not surprising, leaves a deep impression nonetheless. If I exaggerate a little, I almost felt like I was watching Logan within the Shrek universe: for the first time, Puss realizes his mortality and maybe he should slip into his legendary boots. The film is certainly not lacking a certain insight and the associated targeting of older audiences, who, alongside the gorgeous visuals, will appreciate the existential questions it deals with. The icing on the cake was the character of the Wolf, whose whistling was truly creepy. (2022-12-22)

Packed with ideas, existential musings on death, and amazing action that combines Japanese anime style with video game dynamics without looking bad. Impeccable English voice acting, Banderas and Salma are classics, but the strong English accents of Goldilocks and the Three Bears were a stroke of genius, and Wagner Moura as Death? Yeah! The story drags the cat through a severe personality crisis (“This Is the End” variation of Apocalypse Now in a kid's cartoon?), which makes him a more interesting character than in Shrek. This is the kind of surprise Pixar doesn’t deliver anymore. P.S: The final fight with Death is awesome. (2023-01-30)

An excellent animation film, a really incredible ride that leaves the whole Pixar and the whole Shrek franchise in the dust. It has an attractive theme and finally an animation that is not only a story, but is also loaded with great action and great humour, a combination that always wins for me. The cat wisecracks non-stop, the visuals are almost revolutionary, the action scenes have great choreography and Wolf is the villain of the year, he gave me goosebumps. I loved that there are two other bad guys besides the wolf, which is nicely unusual and this whole cat adventure never takes its paw off the gas. I'm annoyed I didn't see it in the theater. Well done on all counts. 9/10. (2023-01-31)

This is an above-average animated film that doesn't bother the adult viewer, doesn't bore, isn't full of cringe and clichéd scenes, and in the end it was actually entertaining enough. It has humour, it's action-packed in places, cute in others, and if it's this solid even for older audiences, then it's a sure shot for kids. An enjoyable two hours. (2023-01-30)

I watched this movie just now because of my stepson, and I think I enjoyed it more than he did :D The execution? Fantastic!!!! The animation is unparalleled, the battles are great, the story is good, and the jokes? I was laughing from the beginning to the end :) I never thought I would give five stars to a cartoon movie, but yes, this one deserves it. Finally, no woke wave, no one is portrayed as gay, no yellow or black character, no overly empowered pseudo-feminist, no non-binary weird creature, just a classic, bloody funny fairytale :) I really liked it.
