We have recently seen an incredible rise in quality animation thanks, above all, to the crazy proposal of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. After this film showed that animation could afford to have no stylistic limits, similar proposals did not stop emerging, such as the wonderful Arcane by Netflix.
Among the movies that followed this trend, there is one that stands out above the rest: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Released in 2022, no one expected this movie to be so good, as it was just another spin-off of the Shrek universe. However, the film turned out to be a critical and box office success, grossing nearly 500 million dollars, and has become a reference in animation recently.
A gem for the whole family
Now, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish can have a new life thanks to Amazon Prime Video, which has just added the movie to its catalog. Those who have not yet seen it now have a golden opportunity to recover this fascinating story starring Antonio Banderas. Those who have already seen it can rewatch it and understand the reason for its potential.
The concept of the movie is to follow Puss in Boots, who, after years of living on the edge, discovers that he has exhausted eight of his nine lives. Faced with the imminent threat of his permanent death, Puss embarks on a dangerous mission to find the mythical “Last Wish,” a magical star that could restore his lost lives. Throughout the journey, Puss faces classic fairy tale enemies like Goldilocks and the criminal family of the Three Bears, as well as the fearsome bounty hunter Wolf. Additionally, he reunites with his former companion, Kitty Softpaws, and meets a new ally, Doggy, a small dog who dreams of being a hero.
