Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022, dir. Joel Crawford) - review by Rookie-Critic

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is, legitimately, one of the best movies of the year. It is pure in its love for animation and easily one of the most enjoyable theater experiences I've had in 2022. I wasn't even going to see it. I haven't seen any other Puss in Boots movies or series and have only seen the first 3 Shrek films (maybe only the first 2), so I thought that would be a barrier for entry, but it absolutely isn't. You can jump headfirst into this movie knowing absolutely nothing and have a wonderful time. I've also never been the biggest fan of this particular franchise, and thought that this would be an easy skip because of that, but then reviews started pouring in and they were all overwhelmingly positive which, of course, piqued my interest. Even still, when I sat down in my seat at the theater I was skeptical; I thought I would have some fun, laugh at the jokes, and go an a quasi-entertaining adventure with a character that I didn't really care a whole lot about before now. What I ended up getting was not only an absolute laugh-riot, but an animated film that digs deep into death anxiety and has a larger narrative about found family, trust, and, as cliché as this is going to sound, the power of friendship.

The cast is great and surprisingly stacked (Salma Hayek, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, and John Mulaney all have major roles), but the obvious standouts are Antonio Banderas and Harvey Guillén. Banderas has been playing Puss in Boots fairly regularly since 2004, so it's no surprise he is effortlessly perfect as the character at this point, but Harvey Guillén (who you might know as the lovable Guillermo from FX's What We Do in the Shadows) really shines and holds his own as a hopeful therapy dog that Puss comes across early on in the story. They play off each other expertly and contribute to a lot of the film's funniest moments. The humor is second-to-none, with comedic timing and sequences that are some of the most cleverly written I've seen in a long time. I'm pretty sure I was either laughing or grinning ear-to-ear for most of the movie from the moment it started to the moment the credits rolled. When I wasn't laughing, I was slack-jawed and dumbfounded by either the amazing animation quality or the incredibly heartfelt story.

The animation is absolutely bonkers in this film, from CG animation that blows most other modern 3D-animated movies out of the water to stylized animation slightly akin to what we saw out of Into the Spider-Verse back in 2018. The CG, especially when it comes to the unbelievably expressive faces of the animal characters, is mind-blowing. There are times I was staring in disbelief at the screen, not because of any big major action sequence, but because Kitty Softpaws gave Puss in Boots a knowing glance that broke right through the Uncanny Valley to look almost real. Although the action sequences are nothing to scoff at, either, with changes in animation style so subtle and weaved in that you barely even notice it's different, just that it looks amazing. As far as the story goes, I really can't say anything plot-wise because I absolutely do not want to spoil this for anyone, but just know that Puss in Boots: The Last Wish got this 29-year-old to tear up. Multiple times. It's beyond beautiful and I can't heap enough praise onto the film makers and animators for creating a movie that had absolutely no right being this great.

When I got home from the theater and was talking to some friends on Discord about it, I was really trying to find anything, even one thing that I disliked. A single complaint. The only thing I could come up with was that the auto-tune on Antonio Banderas' singing in the opening musical number of the film is very noticeable. That's the worst complaint I can even think to lob at Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. This movie is incredible and everyone should see it. Full stop.

Score: 10/10

Currently only in theaters.

Fourth mini episode is out! (First part)

Alrighty, it's pretty hard to explain, but I moved away from Sunset School and organized a YumeFest, which doesn't exist in real world, that's a pity, but I had this idea in my head for a vert long time.

So...let's go!

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is PERFECT

Seen this four times since it opened in UK cinemas. Get even more incredible with every viewing.

It’s rare but sometimes one will see a film that simply short circuits all of their critical faculties with a pure blast of concentrated wonderful That already happened once in terms of 2022 releases for this viewer with Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Having seen every DreamWorks animation theatrical offering for the past 18 years there has been a very marginal uptick in quality with movies…

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #12: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (dir. Joel Crawford)

Talk about the little film that could. I don't think a single person on the face of this planet was ready for the absolute masterpiece of animation that is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Everyone that I know that's seen it, myself included, went into this with every ounce of doubt, regardless of the heaps of praise the film was receiving. I was originally not even going to watch this at all. It was going to be one of the few films I actually skipped out on in the theater because I have only ever really seen the first Shrek film (and pieces of the second one), but I am so glad I changed my mind. Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Harvey Guillén, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo, Wagner Moura, John Mulaney, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Kevin McCann should all be insanely proud of what they were able to accomplish through voice acting, and the team of animators at DreamWorks who worked on this should all be given a massive raise for creating what was, without a single bit of contest, the most unabashedly fun animated experience of 2022, with an opening sequence that immediately sucks you in that is followed by what is possibly the greatest child-friendly story about death, death anxiety, and what makes living life so special that I have ever seen. It's always so refreshing when a film that will most likely be viewed by tons of children the world over talks to them plainly about the realities of death and darker subject matter in general without resorting to sugarcoating, that respects its younger audience to have the capacity to handle more mature themes and not talk down to them in the process. This is where the list shifts from films I loved from last year, to films I worship, and the fact that this beautiful piece of art is only at #12 should be a testament to how truly special the 2022 film season was. I'll shut up now so you all can go watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Currently streaming on Peacock. Read my full review of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish here.

If only Shawn Mendez wrote "Lost in China" instead of "Lost in Japan" it would definitely be Edwina and Josie's song from Mile High

Edwina just sat there in her dramatic phase listening to the song on repeat. And Kate’s just like

“Imagine if you hadn’t told the woman you were in love with that you wanted her to take a job in another country. And that you wanted to break up with her anyway.”

“I didn’t ask you!” Edwina hissed, “and how dare you come here in your post I just had sex with my boyfriend who inexplicably looks like a hot angry turtle, vibe?!”

Kate smirked, “A hot angry turtle?”

“I don’t know how else to describe him, but you know what I mean.”

“I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m just surprised there’s a vibe.”

“Ugh,” Sophie groaned, “There’s a glow. It’s disgusting. Edwina and I are wallowing and we don’t need you and your boyfriend who is so obsessed with you he’s turned into the male lead in Romance novel interrupting us.”

Kate rolled her eyes, “Well, Ben was obsessed with you and you panicked and tossed him back into the sea!”

“There’s no blaming at a wallowing party!” Edwina said gesturing at Kate wildly with her spoon.

“Sorry, queue up the Celine Dion I suppose.” Kate flopped onto the sofa, “I’ll tell Anthony to leave the takeaway at the door. I’m worried the two of you might attack him and I like his face pretty.”
