Let’s delve into the conclusion of the latest adventure of our beloved sword-wielding cat.
For over two decades, the Shrek franchise has captivated audiences, proving that studios beyond Pixar can excel in computer-generated animation. While Shrek had his last big screen outing in 2010 with Shrek Forever After, the charismatic feline Puss in Boots (played by Antonio Banderas) took the spotlight in a 2011 prequel exploring his origins as an adventurer. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish unfolds after the Shrek events, portraying Puss struggling to live up to his reputation.
In The Last Wish, Puss, weathered by his experiences, contemplates his mortality as he learns he has just one life left. Deciding to retire, he embarks on a new quest when he hears that Goldilocks and the three bears seek a Wishing Star that could restore his lives. The film, directed by Joel Crawford, introduces stylized action sequences and visual splendor, reminiscent of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, offering a fresh pace within the franchise. Beyond its family-friendly adventure, The Last Wish hints at a potentially intriguing future for the franchise.
Does Puss Receive His Wish in ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’?
Despite singing about being the “greatest fearless hero,” Puss grapples with cowardice throughout The Last Wish. Fearful of death and regretting leaving Kitty at the altar, Puss chooses not to use the star’s wish, realizing his one life is worth fighting for. After a fierce duel, The Big Bad Wolf departs, teasing future encounters with Puss.
Puss’s heroism isn’t solitary; Kitty and Perrito assist him during the final battle. Resuming their romance, Puss and Kitty adopt Perrito, embarking on new adventures. They reclaim a ship, and Perrito finally chooses a name, fittingly adopting the one Puss has used.
What Happens to Other Characters?
Originally intending to steal the wish, Goldilocks and the bears ultimately aid Puss. Goldilocks, seeking a “real family,” discovers her true family in the bears and sacrifices her wish to save Baby Bear. They decide to take over Jack Horner’s pie-making business, recruited by the ethical counselor Talking Cricket.
As for Horner, his greed leads to his downfall, falling into the star as it returns to space. The map to the star is destroyed, sending a message about recognizing and appreciating existing blessings.
Where Is Puss Going After ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’?
After stealing a vessel, Puss, Kitty, and Perrito sail to visit “old friends” in Far Far Away, where Shrek and his friends reside. Directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado express their admiration for the Shrek series, leaving the future open-ended. References to Shrek characters in The Last Wish hint at the potential for another Puss in Boots film, additional Shrek sequels, and perhaps a spinoff series following Perrito’s adventures.
