Movie lovers are in for a treat this holiday season as Netflix adds a highly anticipated and beloved sequel to their animated film collection. Just in time for some festive family viewing, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is now available for UK viewers to add to their watchlist.
This remarkable film has received rave reviews, with critics calling it "spellbinding", "shockingly phenomenal", and "one of the best films of the year". Fans are also singing its praises, describing it as "insanely good" and possibly "the best sequel ever made". The film, which was released in 2022, is a sequel to the 2011 spin-off of the popular Shrek franchise, featuring the beloved swashbuckling feline, voiced by Hollywood superstar Antonio Banderas.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has an impressive 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes from 193 professional critics and a 94% rating from over 5,000 audience ratings on the Popcornmeter. In comparison, the original Puss in Boots has an 86% rating from critics and only 68% from fans.
Despite low expectations, the Last Wish defied all odds and became a box office success, earning 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. After a decade-long break between the first and second film, many were skeptical about a second spin-off for Puss. However, the film proved them wrong and received an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Picture, ultimately losing to Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio.
Now, the film has been added to Netflix in the UK, and it has already become one of the most popular titles on the platform. It currently ranks as the sixth most-watched children's film and the sixth most-watched film overall in the UK. The star-studded cast includes Salma Hayek, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Harvey Guillén.
In this adventure, Puss is joined by his friends Perro and Kitty, as well as new ally Chihuahua Perrito, on a quest to find the Last Wish of the fallen Wishing Star. His goal is to restore eight of his nine lives, but he faces competition from other fairytale characters, such as the crime family Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the corrupt pastry salesman "Big" Jack Horner. As if that wasn't enough, a sinister wolf is also on Puss's tail.
Fans have been raving about this film, with some calling it the best sequel and animated movie they have ever seen. Critics have also praised it, with Clarisse Loughrey from The Independent noting that "The Last Wish offers something different and unexpected: Puss has grown up with his audience." Ben Travis from Empire magazine adds, "A cat always lands on its feet - and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish does so with considerable style, rapier wit, and surprising substance."
The film was not only a hit with critics and fans, but it also did well at the box office, earning over $485 million on a budget of $90-110 million. It has also become a sleeper hit, with positive word-of-mouth feedback continuously increasing its popularity among viewers.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is now available to stream on Netflix in the UK.
