    The best animated movie of the year
    I loved this movie more than other movies in this same category.

    The length of the movie is perfect. All the scenes are necessary for the development of the characters and the plot is deep. Despite being a children's movie, it has an interesting message and final reflection. DreamWorks has always been characterized by designing very good antagonists. The villains in their movies are actually scary and in particular this movie has sequences that combine 2D and 3D designs with very detailed textures that allow you to be immersed in the movie.

    It is very sad that it did not win best animated film at the 95th edition of the Oscars since without a doubt, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is better than Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro.

    A Great Movie.... for all ages
    I might be a little late to the party, but I just had to share my thoughts on this incredible movie. I really wish I caught it in theaters when it first came out. I went in with no expectations, and boy, was I blown away! It's been ages since I've seen an animated film this good.

    Every character is so well-written, their motivations are crystal clear, and the pacing of the movie is just perfect. And can we talk about Perrito the chihuahua? He steals the show!

    The visuals are stunning, with a refreshing approach that adds a whole new dimension to the action scenes. It's unlike anything I've seen in animation before.

    What's even better is that the story appeals to both kids and adults. You can watch it from different perspectives and still enjoy it equally. The movie is brimming with heart and warmth, and all the emotions feel so genuine and relatable.

    I highly recommend this movie. From the writing to the cast to the visuals, it's easily one of the best animated films I've ever seen. And yes, even though it's a sequel, it surpasses all the previous ones, including the original. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one!

    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - A Delightful Adventure with Top-Notch Animation and Catchy Music!
    I just finished watching Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and it was a delightful experience. The animation was top-notch, and the characters were charming and lovable. I particularly enjoyed the witty banter between Puss and Kitty; it had me laughing out loud throughout the movie.

    The storyline was engaging and kept me in my seat until the end. The plot twists were unexpected and added a layer of excitement to the overall viewing experience.

    The musical score was also exceptional. It added depth and emotion to the scenes, and the songs were catchy and memorable.

    I highly recommend Puss in Boots: The Last Wish to anyone looking for a fun and adventurous family movie. It's a solid 8 out of 10 for me!

    A Strange Comparison(with Breaking Bad) and Then Some
    In the Shrek movies, Puss in Boots was a very likable character. I think it is safe to assume that most of the people who love Shrek (specifically Shrek 2) also enjoy seeing Puss in Boots. It is enjoyable to watch him, doesn't interfere much with the themes of movies but has funny scenes and great action. As I was thinking of these things, I realized something. He is just like Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad. Saul Goodman is a great character in Breaking Bad. He is great in scenes he is in and is so fun to watch but he isn't much of a character. Then Better Call Saul came and Saul Goodman (Jimmy Mcgill) became as complex as (if not more) Walter. First Puss in Boots movie wasn't like that for Puss. It was more of the same in Shrek movies. This movie delivers the character Puss in Boots desperately needed and then some. His arc in this movie is amazing and in a perfect world, the script of this movie would get an Adapted Screenplay nomination at the Oscars this year (considering the fact that the competition in the Adapted Screenplay category is nonexistent).

    Death is an amazing villain. Having shorter screen time than most characters makes him an even better character. Again another comparison to Better Call Saul, Death is like Lalo Salamanca. Lalo also doesn't have a big screen time in the six seasons of the show, but he is easily one of the most memorable characters. Death is always there, back in the audience's mind, and just when you forget that he exists, he returns. His whistle, his charisma... Brilliant!

    Puss and Kitty's storyline and conflict are very complex when you remember that this is an animated movie mostly targeted at kids. The themes of legacy, the meaning of life, and the fear of attachment are very refreshing to see in an animated movie again. The addition of Perrito creates a great contrast between him and Puss and I would even go further to say that it can even spark some philosophical discussions about which way to live is better for you. Legacy or living a life where you are comfortable with your family.

    I loved the additions of the three bears and Goldilocks. Their storyline was also fairly interesting to see progress. The weakest link in the movie is the character of Jack Horner. He has very funny moments and is very interesting to see a villain who is truly deeply villainous with no point of return in an animated movie. Its relevance to the plot could have been better but the conscience bug thing was interesting to see unfold.

    The animation and action scenes are superb. Especially the ones with Death. Death is so good that I can't believe it. There are many jokes that land, songs that are fun and most importantly the movie structurally works. It just works. With this many characters, with this many plotlines, with this many detours, you might think that it is impossible to tie this in a great package. But they do. When this movie is at its worst, it is decent but when it is at its best it is one of the best-animated movies, ever.

    Where did this movie come from? I would have wanted to be a kid when I first watched this movie. I would have been scared but I would have loved it. Then I would have watched it again, sometime. And then again. It would have created nostalgia and at my age today when I would have looked back I would have said, "it is not the best-animated movie ever, but it is my favorite animated movie ever." because it would have been. What more can I say?

    Caught off guard
    This movie caught me off guard 100%. Went with a buddy of mine to see this more as a joke but also just to pass the time. We (19M and 22M) just wanted to hang and chose to see this movie. There were numerous times we were bursting out laughing and also moments we understood deeply and connected to our emotions. I think the animation, while maybe a little too similar to spider-man, was still phenomenal. The bright colors used and the background artwork was amazing. Definitely not expecting that. Also the story was beyond amazing. Way better than it's predecessor and other animated movies released in 2022.

    As guys who grew up watching the Shrek franchise, I for one am excited to see what's next.

    I wish for more The Last Wishes
    I never expected an animated movie to top my end of year list, much less a sequel to a spin-off to a franchise that hasn't been relevant in 20 years. Coming out of nowhere, seemingly as a much delayed afterthought, the latest Puss in Boots is anything but. Boasting gorgeous animation reminiscent of Into the Spider-Verse but never feeling like a visual rip-off, The Last Wish constantly fires on all cylinders for young audiences and adults alike. The movie's imaginative style that is bound to become a new dazzling showcase for high-end TV screens meshes well with its kinetic set pieces, the funny scenes are actually hilarious and rarely miss a beat, and the recurrent themes of mortality, friendship and identity are as astute as any big, "mature" movie you will have seen this year. Couple that with a memorable cast of both returning and new characters and an actually terrifying villain for a change, and you have a genre entry that is shockingly great given its questionable pedigree. Puss in Boots might be down to his last life here, but the franchise is definitely not on its last paws.

    Amazing!
    I saw a few reviews before I went to watch it and they said that it is a good movie but I wasn't expecting this movie to be sooooo good. In my opinion was DreamWorks in the past few years not like back then. The movies were ok or just unnecessary but this one makes the old feelings come back, it was so much fun and as good as the best Shrek movie in my opinion. I would recommend this movie to everyone it is funny, not to long, catchy, and it has great action. I mean it's amazing. The characters are good and the the style of the movie is just incredible it is kinda like the animated spiderman movie. But there is not much more to say, just go in you won't regret it.

    Puss will keep living his 9 lives
    The best dreamworks movie in cinema history. When I saw the first puss in boots movie 11 years ago with my dad we absolutely loved. The story taking place after shrek forever after was perfect for dreamworks . Puss has lived a very different life than shrek and donkey including Fiona . His friend and brother Humpty Dumpty was tried to take his revenge against puss I knew they're was still a good cat in him . Soft paws I say she was so awesome. She was no different then the other dreamworks female characters I remembered from my childhood. But I say she was one fluffy cat . The fairytale characters were more exciting than ever before. They had more expressions and had more storytelling then the books I was read when I was little . But I say shrek and puss in boots have a better happily ever after stories more .

    I can't wait for shrek 5 this year .

    No Courage Without Fear...
    Poor old Puss has used up eight of his nine lives, now he's a shadow of the cat, that used to thrive, he's residing in a home, no more to dance, to fight, to roam, all the things he so enjoyed, he's now deprived. But Goldilocks, and her three bears, need Puss's claws, to get a map, that's clasped in Jack Horner's big paws, that will lead them to a star, on a journey wide and far, and a wish that gives them everything and more.

    And thus follows an enchanting adventure of discovery and realisation, of avarice and excess, of friendship and family and love. Great animation, perfectly delivered dialogue and a universal message relatable to all.

    "A Really Enjoyable Movie. But With Room For Improvement."
    I really enjoyed this movie! That being said, it is in no way perfect and still has only a couple things it could have done better. Such as having John Mulaney as the voice of "Big" Jack Horner; it didn't work for me - I just couldn't take that voice seriously...and I found it to be a little annoying. A better voice might have been...someone like Kevin James. I while I did love the Wolf, I wish they would have used someone else as the physical embodiment of Death. Because I don't see Death, I see just another version of The Big Bad Wolf. They could have used someone like Xibalba (the Mayan god of death), that to me would have been better - and they could have taken design inspirations from Tzekel-Kan and his acolyte (from "The Road to El Dorado"). I also was not a fun of the animation, because we've seen Puss and his companions in traditional 3D animation, so to suddenly see them in a different style...it just didn't work for me. The worst for me was Perrito because comic-reliefs are almost done wrong. I mean, Perrito looked, talked, and acted like a moron. There is nothing wrong with someone being friendly, happy and positive...but that doesn't mean they also have to be naive and idiotic. Why didn't they just make Perrito happy-go-lucky because whenever he was stayed positive something good things always happened to him? The only times where he actually comforted Puss was when he was good, and I wish he was better at it because he even admitted that he wanted to be a therapy dog. I even wished there was just a little more time to rebuild the chemistry between Puss and Kitty - and I wish they actually kissed, much like they did in the first film. I did like the twist they did with Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but the whole reference to their story got old real quickly; also the bears could of had just a bit more brains. And while it is small...I didn't like the new mask they gave Kitty, and should have stuck with the black one. Finally the whole name "Team Friendship" was just stupid.

    That being said I loved how much darker and more mature this movie was than all its predecessors. My favorite parts were always when the Wolf was on screen. I was also shocked to hear so many beeping/swears in the movie, as well as the "body count". I hope other kid movies start taking notes from this. And while I did find Jack Horner to be a spoiled brat, I did find him to be a believable villain because of how heartless and egotistical he was. The same goes with Death - I really wish he was given a bigger role. The action was pretty fun to watch, and I like the message they were trying to get across: "live your life to the fullest, and be happy with what you have." And I guess the animation worked every now and than, and most of the voice acting was done very well. I really did enjoy watching this movie, and so the good stuff outweigh the annoying stuff. It seemed to me that there was more to be told, which is why I wish it was a little longer. I also wish that Puss and Kitty prepared to redo their wedding, and planned on having a littler (and what they would name them). I would gladly love see another movie with Puss and Kitty going on another adventure together.
