Despite the Shrek franchise from which Puss in Boots originated being memed into darn-near oblivion over the years, everyone’s favorite Zorro parody cat (portrayed by Antonio Banderas) has once again returned to the silver screen for another outing in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Puss’s return to the theater at the end of last year was an absolute triumph, and with only a Netflix TV series managing to keep his most devout fans busy in the interim, we’d have expected nothing less. In this latest adventure, the titular cat discovers that his penchant for adventure has left him bereft of eight out of his nine lives as a cat, so he heads out into the world to reclaim them.
We thought the movie was a fantastic expansion to the broader Shrek universe, and fans around the world seem to be in absolute agreement. So whether you’re a long-time fan of the Dreamworks franchise or are looking for a great film to keep your next generation of Shrek fans busy over the summer, it’s not a film worth sleeping on. Here’s where you can find it.
