March 09, 2023

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a 2022 American computer-animated adventure film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The sequel to the spin-off film Puss in Boots (2011) and the sixth installment in the Shrek franchise, the film was directed by Joel Crawford and co-directed by Januel Mercado. Based on the character from Shrek 2 (2004) and inspired from the eponymous fairy tale, the film's screenplay was written by Paul Fisher and Tommy Swerdlow, with a story by Swerdlow and Tom Wheeler (the latter of whom wrote the 2011 film). The voice cast of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish includes Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek Pinault reprising their respective roles as the titular character and Kitty Softpaws, and are joined by Harvey Guillén, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo, John Mulaney, Wagner Moura, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Anthony Mendez, who voice new characters introduced in the film.

They must race against Goldilocks and her Three Bears Crime Family (Pugh, Winstone, Colman, and Kayo), and "Big" Jack Horner (Mulaney), who all desire the star; Puss must also avoid a mysterious hooded wolf (Moura), who plots to kill him.

Plans for a sequel to Puss in Boots began in November 2012, when executive producer Guillermo del Toro shared plans to take the titular character on an adventure to a "very exotic locale", who also stated a couple of drafts for the screenplay were completed. Work on a sequel began in April 2014, according to Banderas. The film's title was announced as Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves in June 2014. After being stuck in development hell, the project was revived in November 2018, with Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri confirmed to be an executive producer. It was announced that the film would be helmed by Bob Persichetti, the head of story of the first film and one of the three directors of Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), in February 2019. Crawford was later announced as the new director in March 2021, along with Mercado. The majority of the new cast members, along with Pinault's return, were announced in March 2022. The story drew inspiration from Spaghetti Western films, with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) being cited as a particular influence. As with DreamWorks' previous film The Bad Guys (2022), the film has a stylized animation style, inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. With new technology, the team was able to give the film a painterly style to resemble a fairy-tale story, rather than utilizing the realistic visual style of every previous installment of the Shrek franchise.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish premiered at Lincoln Center in New York City on December 13, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 21, 2022, after being delayed due to restructuring at DreamWorks. The film received positive reviews from critics, praising its animation, themes, voice acting, humor, and the portrayal of Death. Many reviewers considered it superior to its predecessor, as well as one of the best films in the Shrek franchise. It was also a commercial success, grossing $458 million worldwide on a production budget of $90 million, becoming the second highest-grossing animated film of 2022. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film and numerous accolades, including at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Critics' Choice Awards, and British Academy Film Awards.

Plot

While hosting a party in the town of Del Mar, legendary hero and outlaw Puss in Boots accidentally awakens a sleeping giant. He effortlessly subdues the creature but dies after a church bell crushes him as he poses for adulation from the citizens. After reviving Puss, the town doctor informs him that he has only one life left. That night, in a bar, Puss is confronted by a black-hooded wolf, whom he presumes is a bounty hunter. Puss fights the wolf, who effortlessly disarms and wounds him in the process. Traumatized by the event, Puss buries his clothes and boots in a grave and retreats to the house of cat lady Mama Luna. Some time passes, and Puss meets an unfailingly happy dog disguised as a cat whom he calls Perrito[a].

Hoping to recruit Puss, the Three Bears Crime Family—Goldilocks, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear—arrive at Luna's home but mistakenly believe Puss is dead after seeing his "grave". The family had planned to hire Puss to steal a map bearing the Wishing Star's location from amoral pastry chef "Big” Jack Horner. Puss, overhearing this, decides to use the Star to restore his lost lives.

Accompanied by Perrito, Puss breaks into Horner's bakery and comes into conflict with Horner, the Bear family, and his resentful ex-fiancée Kitty Softpaws. Puss manages to escape with the map alongside Kitty and Perrito, briefly catching sight of the hooded wolf, who threatens Puss while he flees.

The map leads the trio to the Dark Forest, a pocket dimension that changes its terrain depending on the personality of the map's holder. During another clash with the Bear family and Horner, Puss glimpses the wolf's eerie specter again and runs off, distracting Kitty and allowing Goldi to obtain the map. After Perrito calms his panic attack, Puss confesses that he left Kitty at the altar on their wedding day. Kitty overhears them and reveals that she never attended the wedding either because she believed Puss could not love anyone more than himself.

Puss and Kitty steal back the map while the Bear family is distracted by a manifestation of their woodland cottage. As the dimension shifts, Perrito gets left behind and captured while Puss accidentally traps himself in a crystalline cave, where he is confronted and mocked by manifestations of his own arrogant previous incarnations. The wolf then shows up once more, revealing his true identity as Death. He deems Puss unworthy of life for not valuing any of his previous lives. Shocked at the revelation, Puss runs with the map to the Star in a fit of panic. Meanwhile, a frustrated Goldi reveals to the Bears that her wish is to be reunited with her biological family; though devastated, the Bears agree to help her.

Kitty confronts Puss at the Star, berating him for his selfishness, and admits her wish was to have someone she could trust. The Bear family and Horner arrive and a fight ensues for the map, during which Goldi abandons the map to save Baby, realizing she already has her true family, and Horner becomes trapped inside his magical bottomless bag.

Shortly afterward, Death boards the Star and challenges Puss to a final one-on-one fight. Having learned the value of life during his time with his companions, Puss forgoes wishing for more lives and accepts Death's challenge, culminating in a fierce duel in which Puss manages to overpower and disarm Death. Returning Death's sickle, Puss tells the former that, while he knows he cannot defeat Death, he will never stop fighting for his final life. Seeing that Puss finally accepts his inevitable fate, Death begrudgingly spares him. Before departing, Death promises Puss they will meet again the day he dies, which the latter acknowledges.

Horner, having eaten a magic snack to turn himself into a giant and escape the bag, seizes the map and attempts to make his wish to take all of the world's magic for himself, but Perrito distracts him long enough for his companions and Goldi to rip the map to shreds, causing the Star to collapse and consume Horner. In the aftermath, the Bear family leaves to take over Horner's pie factory, while Puss rekindles his romance with Kitty. The two and Perrito later steal a ship and sets sail to the Kingdom of Far Far Away.

Production

Development

In November 2012, executive producer Guillermo del Toro shared director Chris Miller's intentions to take the titular character on an adventure to a "very exotic locale." He also said a couple of drafts for the screenplay were completed.[10] In April 2014, voice actor Antonio Banderas said work on the sequel had begun.[5] On June 12, 2014, the movie was titled Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves.[11] In March 2015, Banderas said the script was under restructuring. He also hinted at the possibility of Shrek appearing in the film.[12]

By November 2018, Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri had been brought on board as an executive producer of both Shrek 5 and Puss in Boots 2.[13][14] In February 2019, it was reported that Bob Persichetti was set to direct the film while Latifa Ouaou, producer of the first film, would oversee the development of the sequel with Meledandri; Persichetti and Ouaou previously worked on the first film as head of story and producer, respectively.[15] On August 19, 2020, DreamWorks trademarked Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as the new title of the sequel, which was approved in December.[16] In March 2021, Joel Crawford replaced Persichetti as director, having previously helmed DreamWorks' The Croods: A New Age (2020), with producer Mark Swift, editor James Ryan, and screenwriter Paul Fisher returning as collaborators along with Januel Mercado serving as the film's co-director.[6][17] Along with Salma Hayek (now credited as Salma Hayek Pinault) reprising her voice role, new cast members were announced in March 2022, including Harvey Guillén, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo, John Mulaney, Wagner Moura, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Anthony Mendez.[6]

Writing

 
The various stages of production used to depict a scene of Puss having a panic attack. From top to bottom: the storyboard, a screenshot of the unrendered footage, and a screenshot of the final film.

While wanting the film to retain the adult humor from previous entries, Crawford also wanted the film to have a darker tone, with Puss' mortality and fear of death being the film's main focus,[18] wanting to use the concept of Puss being in his last life to tell a story about how to enjoy life.[19][20] Swift felt the Shrek franchise being over 20 years old by the time the project entered production allowed the film to explore darker themes than its predecessors.[18] He drew inspiration from fairytales by the Brothers Grimm and how they were "cautionary tales that took you somewhere dark to make you appreciate the light".[21] This also influenced the decision to depict Death as a wolf, as wolves in Brothers Grimm's stories were depicted as "the personification of fear".[21] Other influences for the film include Spaghetti Westerns films, due to how those films managed to balance between different tones.[21] The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was cited as a particular influence on the film's plot.[18]

Crawford said he wanted the film's comedy to be "edgy" in the vein of Shrek (2001), aiming to honor what audiences loved from previous entries, although still wanting to do something different with the franchise instead of retreading familiar ground.[19][22] He also was interested in including more characters from the franchise, albeit not at the expense of the film's story.[19] He also felt that "one foot of Puss in Boots is dipped in the Shrek fairy tale world, but another one is in the spaghetti western world", and aiming to balance both aspects influenced certain decisions for the film.[22]

For the film's opening sequence, the producers didn't want to simply re-introduce the character to general audiences, but also to "[introduce] the world to where the character is now" by establishing him as a celebrity, with the writers drawing inspiration from Mick Jagger.[18] Crawford wanted Puss to start the film as a "larger than life"-type of figure who comes to embrace his vulnerability.[23] Swift described the story as being about Puss "[having] to figure out who am I without all the things that people value in me?".[18] The idea of featuring a scene of Puss having a panic attack was conceived after the team deemed Puss expressing his vulnerabIlities verbally as "insincere", whereas a panic attack was seen as a "natural point" for the character that would force Puss to "let down the facade of being a fearless hero". For the scene, Crawford and storyboard artist Taylor Meacham drew from their personal experiences.[23]

Animation and design

As with DreamWorks' previous film The Bad Guys (2022), the film's design was inspired by Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), to make the film look more like storybook illustrations, from an idea suggested by production designer Nate Wragg.[24][25][26] In February 2019, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Bob Persichetti was set to helm Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,[15] before he was replaced by Crawford in March 2021.[17] Using new technology, the team at DreamWorks focused more on a painterly style design, to make the film look like a fairy-tale world, different than what it was in Shrek (2001) from their defunct studio Pacific Data Images.[27][18]

Music

Heitor Pereira composed the film's score, replacing Henry Jackman from the first film.[28] Additionally, three original songs were made for the film by Karol G, Daniel Oviedo, Heitor Pereira, Paul Fisher, Dan Navarro, and Gaby Moreno. Karol G performs "La Vida es Una", co-written by herself and Daniel Oviedo and released on December 8, 2022[29] while Heitor Pereira co-wrote two songs titled "Fearless Hero", performed by Antonio Banderas and co-written by Dan Navarro and Paul Fisher, and "Por Que Te Vas", co-written with and performed by Gaby Moreno.[30] The soundtrack was released on December 16, 2022, by Back Lot Music, in addition to cover of the Doors' "This Is the End" performed by Dan Navarro.[31] Music from Shrek 2 was used in the film by Harry Gregson-Williams from the tracks "Obliged to Help" and "The End / Happily Ever After".

Release

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish premiered at Lincoln Center in New York City on December 13, 2022,[32] and was theatrically released on December 21, 2022. It was originally scheduled to be released on November 2, 2018,[11] and later on December 21, 2018,[33] before it was removed from the release schedule altogether in January 2015 due to corporate restructuring and DreamWorks Animation's new policy to release just two films a year.[34][35] Upon the project's resurrection, it was given a release date of September 23, 2022, in March 2021,[17] but in April 2022, the release date was moved to its current December 21 date, taking over the release of Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie.[36] A one-day public screening occurred on November 26, 2022, in select theaters.[37][38]

The first thirty minutes of the film were shown at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2022. Critics noted the darker tone of the movie when compared to its predecessor and director Joel Crawford agreed with them, mentioning that Puss' "fear of death is the engine that drives the movie".[39][18]

The film also debuted a new animated logo opening for DreamWorks Animation, showcasing characters from The Bad Guys, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, The Boss Baby, Trolls, and Shrek with a remastered rendition of the 2010 fanfare composed by Harry Gregson-Williams mixed with several notes from the 2019 fanfare composed by John Powell, produced by Suzanne Buirgy from Abominable and Kendall Cronkhite from Trolls served as the production designer.[40]

Home media

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was released on digital on January 6, 2023, 16 days after its theatrical release.[41][42]

A 4-minute CGI animated short film, Puss in Boots: The Trident, was released as part of the digital release of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Collector`s Edition on February 21, 2023 and later released on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on February 28.[43][44][45] The short sees Eric Bauza reprising his role as Puss from The Adventures of Puss in Boots.

As part of their 18-month deal with Netflix, the film will stream on Peacock for the first four months of the pay-TV window, then move to Netflix for the next ten, and then will return to Peacock for the remaining four.[46]

Reception

Box office

As of March 7, 2023, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has grossed $177.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $280.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $458.3 million.[3][4]

In the United States and Canada, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was projected to gross $25–30 million from 4,000 theaters over its four-day opening weekend.[2] The film made $3.2 million on its first day and $2.9 million on its second, with The Hollywood Reporter noting that Winter Storm Elliot and the threat of a tripledemic surge in COVID-19 and flu cases could affect the box office in the subsequent days.[47] It went on to debut to $12.4 million in its opening weekend (and an estimated total of $26.2 million over the six days), finishing second behind holdover Avatar: The Way of Water.[48][49] Despite opening below projections, Universal’s president of domestic distribution Jim Orr and box office analysts believed the film could make up ground in the coming weeks through word-of-mouth and schools being on holiday.[50] In its second weekend, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish grew 35% from its debut weekend, grossing $16.8 million.[51][52] Its third weekend, the film fell 19% with $13.5 million, which was the first non-holiday weekend in its run.[53][54] The film made $14.5 million in its fourth weekend and $18.9 million over the four day Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend (Friday–Monday) while also crossing the $100 million mark at the United States and Canadian box office.[55][56] Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is the tenth highest-grossing film of 2022 in the U.S and Canada.[57]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 181 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The website's consensus reads, "Arriving more than a decade after the previous installment, the smart, sweet, and funny Puss in Boots: The Last Wish proves some franchises only get better with age."[58] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[59] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported 89% of audience members gave it a positive score.[48]

IGN's Rafael Motamayor gave a rating of 9 out of 10 and wrote: "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."[60] Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com wrote that 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." She did, however praise that the film manages to "convey messages of selflessness and teamwork in a way that doesn't feel heavy-handed or cloying", along with the voice performances and visuals.[61] Nate Richards of Collider gave the film an A-, saying: "Nothing in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish feels lazy, it more than justifies the long wait. It is not only one of the best animated films of the year, but it's one of DreamWorks' best, and one that will strike a chord with moviegoers of all ages. It's equal parts exciting and hilarious as well as earnest, it never feels like it is talking down to anyone. With The Bad Guys and now Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, it is more than safe to say that DreamWorks is back and (maybe) better than ever."[62]

Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a positive review, saying the film was "DWA's best film since the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy."[63] Maxance Vincent of Loud and Clear gave the film four out of five stars, saying: "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is finally giving me hope that the Shrek franchise may not be dead yet. The film opens with one of the most thrilling action set pieces I've seen in an animated film all year (and probably the most thrilling one, since I won't watch another animated film before the end of the year), impeccably scored by Heitor Perreira as our titular character (Antonio Banderas) sings 'Who is our favorite fearless hero?' as he battles a giant. I was locked into the movie, and there was no going back."[64] Emma Stefansky of IndieWire also gave a positive review, enjoying the fact that the film "has no qualms about testing the expectations of its young audience while delivering a freewheeling tale about appreciating the nine lives we already have."[65] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review, writing "darker in tone but still extremely funny, the film, like so many of its animated brethren, falters when resorting to the frenetic action sequences seemingly designed for tykes' short attention spans."[9] William Bibbiani of TheWrap also gave a mixed review, summarizing that "there are comic moments that land, and action set pieces that pop, but the overwhelming sensation here is a meditation on the inevitability of death."[66]

film Humpty Alexander Dumpty s first name appears in a book Goldi reads ProductionDevelopment In November 2012 executive producer Guillermo del Toro shared director Chris Miller s intentions to take the titular character on an adventure to a very exotic locale He also said a couple of drafts for the screenplay were completed 10 In April 2014 voice actor Antonio Banderas said work on the sequel had begun 5 On June 12 2014 the movie was titled Puss in Boots 2 Nine Lives amp 40 Thieves 11 In March 2015 Banderas said the script was under restructuring He also hinted at the possibility of Shrek appearing in the film 12 By November 2018 Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri had been brought on board as an executive producer of both Shrek 5 and Puss in Boots 2 13 14 In February 2019 it was reported that Bob Persichetti was set to direct the film while Latifa Ouaou producer of the first film would oversee the development of the sequel with Meledandri Persichetti and Ouaou previously worked on the first film as head of story and producer respectively 15 On August 19 2020 DreamWorks trademarked Puss in Boots The Last Wish as the new title of the sequel which was approved in December 16 In March 2021 Joel Crawford replaced Persichetti as director having previously helmed DreamWorks The Croods A New Age 2020 with producer Mark Swift editor James Ryan and screenwriter Paul Fisher returning as collaborators along with Januel Mercado serving as the film s co director 6 17 Along with Salma Hayek now credited as Salma Hayek Pinault reprising her voice role new cast members were announced in March 2022 including Harvey Guillen Florence Pugh Olivia Colman Ray Winstone Samson Kayo John Mulaney Wagner Moura Da Vine Joy Randolph and Anthony Mendez 6 Writing The various stages of production used to depict a scene of Puss having a panic attack From top to bottom the storyboard a screenshot of the unrendered footage and a screenshot of the final film While wanting the film to retain the adult humor from previous entries Crawford also wanted the film to have a darker tone with Puss mortality and fear of death being the film s main focus 18 wanting to use the concept of Puss being in his last life to tell a story about how to enjoy life 19 20 Swift felt the Shrek franchise being over 20 years old by the time the project entered production allowed the film to explore darker themes than its predecessors 18 He drew inspiration from fairytales by the Brothers Grimm and how they were cautionary tales that took you somewhere dark to make you appreciate the light 21 This also influenced the decision to depict Death as a wolf as wolves in Brothers Grimm s stories were depicted as the personification of fear 21 Other influences for the film include Spaghetti Westerns films due to how those films managed to balance between different tones 21 The Good The Bad and the Ugly was cited as a particular influence on the film s plot 18 Crawford said he wanted the film s comedy to be edgy in the vein of Shrek 2001 aiming to honor what audiences loved from previous entries although still wanting to do something different with the franchise instead of retreading familiar ground 19 22 He also was interested in including more characters from the franchise albeit not at the expense of the film s story 19 He also felt that one foot of Puss in Boots is dipped in the Shrek fairy tale world but another one is in the spaghetti western world and aiming to balance both aspects influenced certain decisions for the film 22 For the film s opening sequence the producers didn t want to simply re introduce the character to general audiences but also to introduce the world to where the character is now by establishing him as a celebrity with the writers drawing inspiration from Mick Jagger 18 Crawford wanted Puss to start the film as a larger than life type of figure who comes to embrace his vulnerability 23 Swift described the story as being about Puss having to figure out who am I without all the things that people value in me 18 The idea of featuring a scene of Puss having a panic attack was conceived after the team deemed Puss expressing his vulnerabIlities verbally as insincere whereas a panic attack was seen as a natural point for the character that would force Puss to let down the facade of being a fearless hero For the scene Crawford and storyboard artist Taylor Meacham drew from their personal experiences 23 Animation and design As with DreamWorks previous film The Bad Guys 2022 the film s design was inspired by Sony Pictures Animation s Spider Man Into the Spider Verse 2018 to make the film look more like storybook illustrations from an idea suggested by production designer Nate Wragg 24 25 26 In February 2019 Spider Man Into the Spider Verse director Bob Persichetti was set to helm Puss in Boots The Last Wish 15 before he was replaced by Crawford in March 2021 17 Using new technology the team at DreamWorks focused more on a painterly style design to make the film look like a fairy tale world different than what it was in Shrek 2001 from their defunct studio Pacific Data Images 27 18 MusicMain article Puss in

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 60 Christy Lemire of RogerEbert com wrote that 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 She did however praise that the film manages to convey messages of selflessness and teamwork in a way that doesn t feel heavy handed or cloying along with the voice performances and visuals 61 Nate Richards of Collider gave the film an A saying Nothing in Puss in Boots The Last Wish feels lazy it more than justifies the long wait It is not only one of the best animated films of the year but it s one of DreamWorks best and one that will strike a chord with moviegoers of all ages It s equal parts exciting and hilarious as well as earnest it never feels like it is talking down to anyone With The Bad Guys and now Puss in Boots The Last Wish it is more than safe to say that DreamWorks is back and maybe better than ever 62 Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a positive review saying the film was DWA s best film since the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy 63 Maxance Vincent of Loud and Clear gave the film four out of five stars saying Puss in Boots The Last Wish is finally giving me hope that the Shrek franchise may not be dead yet The film opens with one of the most thrilling action set pieces I ve seen in an animated film all year and probably the most thrilling one since I won t watch another animated film before the end of the year impeccably scored by Heitor Perreira as our titular character Antonio Banderas sings Who is our favorite fearless hero as he battles a giant I was locked into the movie and there was no going back 64 Emma Stefansky of IndieWire also gave a positive review enjoying the fact that the film has no qualms about testing the expectations of its young audience while delivering a freewheeling tale about appreciating the nine lives we already have 65 Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review writing darker in tone but still extremely funny the film like so many of its animated brethren falters when resorting to the frenetic action sequences seemingly designed for tykes short attention spans 9 William Bibbiani of TheWrap also gave a mixed review summarizing that there are comic moments that land and action set pieces that pop but the overwhelming sensation here is a meditation on the inevitability of death 66 Accolades Accolades received by Puss in Boots The Last Wish Award
