Puss In Boots: The Last Wish (PG)

Everyone’s leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns.

For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks  presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send him on his grandest quest yet. Academy Award nominee Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious Puss as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Oscar nominee Salma Hayek).

In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Black Widow) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (Emmy winner John Mulaney, Big Mouth) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura, Narcos). Directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado (co-director) this action-packed production also features Oscar award winning Olivia Colman and BAFTA nominated Roy Winstone.

“Kids will get a kick out of the sprightly and silly Puss in Boots: The Last Wish – but really, this one is for the millennials.” Independent
