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. [26] [27] [28] In February 2019, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Persichetti was set to direct Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, [17] before he was replaced by Crawford in March 2021. [19] 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.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was released on December 21, 2022 in the USA, delighting audiences worldwide with its magical journey and captivating storyline. Conclusion Goldi saves her adoptive brother... nay, her brother with her staff. It is here where she finally internalizes what Perrito said to her and accepts the bears as her family. She'd always enjoyed their care and her relationship with them, yes; it's just that now she's content with them being her family. She's accepted that she "won the orphan lottery".

Don't even get me started on the character designs! One thing that eagle-eyed viewers might notice is that Puss and Kitty have been subtly redesigned from the previous Shrek movies. Some of that can be chalked up to technology having advanced significantly in the 11 years between this and the original Puss in Boots film (which it did), but there are several stylistic tweaks that help them better fit into this movie's more painterly aesthetic.

This is the first DreamWorks Animation film to be released on digital, just 16 days after its theatrical release. While each film is naturally different, they share common themes and elements. They contrast cynicism against idealism, they skewer Disney any chance they get, they flip fairy tale characters on their heads, and encourage their main characters to be vulnerable and real with those that they love. And with some (mostly positive) exceptions, The Last Wish carries on the original Shrek films' themes.

This also makes Shrek the first DreamWorks Animation franchise with its films distributed by DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures; no films in the franchise had been distributed by 20th Century Studios. 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. [12] In April 2014, voice actor Antonio Banderas said work on the sequel had begun. [6] On June 12, 2014, the movie was titled Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves. [13] In March 2015, Banderas said the script was under restructuring. He also hinted at the possibility of Shrek appearing in the film. [14] Following this, we learn that they came to the crazy cat lady's place specifically to find Puss and recruit him so that they could find the star and make a wish. While this moment is mostly for the sake of exposition and so Puss can learn about the star's existence, it shows that they do have some sort of honor among thieves. Had they recognized Puss's ginger fur amidst the blasé gray felines at the cat lady's house, chances are Puss and Perrito would've gone on a very different journey. The Last Wish wisely chose to distance itself from its mid-tier source material (the original Puss in Boots), opting instead to tell a wholly original story set after the Shrek quadrilogy (or trilogy; we don't talk about Shrek the Third). Yet even if you haven't seen those films, the opening sequence tells you everything you need to know about Puss- in song form, no less. The same can be said for Kitty's introduction; aside from the detail of her having been declawed in the past, her intro feels as if this is the first time the audience is meeting her (which is good, considering how much better she is here than she was in the original film).Outside of those films, unfortunately, Pixar has gone downhill in every regard. Their films are less funny, less heartfelt, less well-thought-out in regards to their worldbuilding, and often rather confused in regards to their morals. Some would say that Pixar's downward spiral started in 2011 with Cars 2, but I'd have to respectfully disagree. We still had good films ( Monsters University, Finding Dory, Cars 3, and Coco) between then and 2017. Prange, Stephanie (January 9, 2023). " 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' Tops Weekly Vudu Chart".
