Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a DreamWorks MIRACLE 

By popular demand, here are my thoughts on Puss in Boots 2! I do a LOT of talking here so I hope you don't mind, DreamWorks/Universal is pretty annoying when it comes to copyright claims so I try to use as little unaltered clips as possible. Well anyways, THANKS FOR 40,000 SUBSCRIBERS!! Still haven't moved on from hitting 1K not so long ago and yet HERE WE ARE 😭 Thank you so much! I'm sorry I still can't upload as often as I like, my office job tend to get in the way but I'm making use of as much free time as I can to do all this so THANK YOU for stopping by and showing support! Hope you enjoyed your stay, have a great day and a great life!

Bro Disney lost at the box office to a Cat that wears boots 💀

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has something that current disney doesn't and that's heart, Puss in Boots feels like a return to the classics while also adding it's own charm and also it's own humor, which makes it absolutely great

Just a slight correction, Puss in Boots doesn't take down the wolf, he proves himself to Death. He proves that he's earned the right to keep his last life, because he now appreciates it properly. As a result the wolf let's him go. Puss says himself that he will never be able to defeat death but he will always keep fighting for his life.

Death's reveal I think was funny and amazing, as the whole point of his reveal was basically DreamWorks telling the audience 'he isn't symbolic, he is legit Death, don't overthink it' as we all know there would have been those people out there trying to create theories on the character thinking he was a legit bounty hunter. Plus it makes him more menacing.

The wolf is voiced by a Brazilian actor, and he is AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wagner Moura deserves to be a national treasure

One thing I really liked about Goldilocks was that even though her declaration about wanting a "real" family was deeply hurtful to the bears, they still agreed to help her get the wish because they wanted her to be happy.

I took my little sister to this movie, I remember something that stuck with me is the fact that she was actually scared and intimidated by Death. She saw him as an actual threat! She's only 7, and it just reminded me how we've been given very little ACTUAL villains in movies. We need more powerful and intimidating villains!!!!

Dreamworks just made history. THIS MAN GAVE THEIR MOVIE A 10/10. I would think there’s something wrong but then again THIS MOVIE IS PERFECTION

The excalibur being drawn from the magic bag is probably my best jack horner moment

This proves that Dreamworks still knows their audience and how to on truly deliver some great cinematic storytelling in the art of animation. It also proves that there are more stories in the Shrek universe to still share. Not only does it give us a massive upgrade on the animation, but it also manages to once again, call Disney out on their recent storytelling.

DreamWorks is definitely killing it!🤩 They managed to make a comic relief character into the deepest character in the Shrek franchise! Puss is honestly at his best in this movie and it’s great to see how he grows throughout the movie😁 Also, it was very refreshing and great that we got some actual villains! Something we’ve all been wants to see in an animated movie for quite some time! Amazing movie! DreamWorks, you did GREAT🌟

The Last Wish also does something Pixar's finest movies did: it talks about adult issues that most try to ignore. For me, what grabbed me was the idea of abandoning the solo mentality and finding your tribe. The reason Puss has such an obsession with his Legend status is that it is literally all he has, no friends or family to go back to.

Big Jack Horner IS Disney Inc. BJH had a good childhood, representing the childhood many kids had during their Golden Era. He grew up to be a top-heavy (corrupt bosses), exploitative (to animators), heartless (Spider-man grave, anyone?), covetous (copyright abuse) business monger, with the goal to acquire all magical artifacts (intellectual properties) in the world.

I also gotta add, in the scene where Puss gets a panick attack I got really emotional, you can feel the trauma and pure anxiety dripping off the scene, and the actual panick attack is so well done. As someone who has had a lot of panick attacks seeing that scene was really fucking awsome, it's so well done and scary accurate to what a real panick attack can feel and look like, DreamWorks really fucking killed this movie

I'm not gonna lie, I wholeheartedly expected them to go the twist villain route and hit us with Perrito being the last secret villain, but for him to just be that dumb and empathetic made him amazing with how helpful he ended up being and not just stealing the wish for himself

this movie came out at the right time. to remind us that animation is not for kids, and to remind us on how to make great villains. this will be remembered for a LONG time.

Can I just say I kinda love the fact Puss in Boots 2 lost to Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio for the best animated feature? It actually make this movie better. Case in point, the scene where young Jack Horner gets upstaged by Pinocchio is a scene that is much funnier and topical now

DreamWorks does something that's impossible for Disney to do: Actually make memorable villains

Oh my gosh. DreamWorks had the best opening minutes. Shrek. Prince of Egypt. Kung Fu Panda. Megamind. All of these were absolute bangers

To make a ''pure evil'' character like Jack work, you need to give him something else to avoid making him a boring character. Dreamworks did this perfectly with Jack. He was funny, great to watch and a walking pile of iconic quotes. Ercole from Luca didn't have that. And i think that's what made him fail. I know Ercole isn't ''pure evil'', just a prick but my point still stands.

I'm so glad that Spiderverse is having such a great impact on the animation industry

It's perhaps the best film of the entire year, and that's impressive considering it's only just started. Sure, anything can happen between now and December, but it's a _really_ high bar to clear.

Ever since this movie came out, it’s been all over the internet and I LOVE that I can’t escape it

DreamWorks completely shitting on Disney is something I would have never expected, but it was bound to happen eventually. With how Strange World did and considering Pixar is making another Toy Story movie "why tf are they doing that, I have no clue" and also a movie called elemental which looks kinda cringe. But anyways, nice video

Yeah, that "i'm death, straigh up" works well because its there for all the internet folk that would tey to say he isnt really death, but a metaphor or something like that, so the way the wolf reveals who he is is to not leave room or any space for any theory about how death isnt really death, and even with that there still people who comes up with theories about who the wolf is because they dont accept that the wolf is, straigh up, death, and no one else.

I watched the movie 7 times, spent many dollars on popcorn and tickets and I do not regret it.

The term straight up is actually an older term than most people realize. It was originally used as a term for alcoholic beverages where you shake it in ice and then pour it into a separate glass. And thinking about what it means as a way to cement truth in a statement by the current generation, I can see how it was adopted to be so: straight up = cold and true.

I like how in the latin Spanish dub, death reveals himself with "I am death, unmasked" It works better than straight up in my opinion

It absolutely deserves that rating. One of my favorite movies in recent memory. They managed to make this film hilarious yet emotional. Also, the skit at the beginning is straight fire!!

Those skits in the beginning get me every time. The shade thrown at Disney and Pixar is hilarious😂

My fav characters were Goldilocks and the three bears (such icons awesome family dynamic ) and I love the dialogue in this movie and the visuals (also I love your videos )

As a kid I adored puss and boots. Growing up with Shrek and Puss's spinoffs was great. This movie however was the first movie in a long time to legitimately give me chills with some of the shots music and animation. Bravo DreamWorks bravo.

I ABSOLUTELY am in love with the theme song for this movie “Fearless Hero: Movie Version”

I went to see this in theatres and I'm so glad I did! The visuals absolutely stunning and gave the vibes of an Arcane and Into the Spider-verse mix and I *LOVE* how it got more stuttery during the action sequences! The villain was actually really intimidating, especially since they had Puss actually bleed at that one part?!?! The portrayal of Puss' anxiety was handled and done really realistically and made you actually nervous for him, I have anxiety and I think the visuals and sounds did a really good job of showing what's it's like having an attack and I could practically feel Puss' chest tighten every time he heard the whistling!

Disney will never make something as good as this

I think one of the best moments in the movie was when Puss ACTUALLY tells Kitty why he left her at the altar. Like I was fully expecting in that moment for there to be some kind of convenient interruption and Puss to not say anything because that's what happens in every movie. I've never been so happy to be wrong about something lmao

Something I like about Deaths character design is that his eye colour is the opposite of Puss’s eye colour. Red to green. I’m not sure if that was intentional but I love it :)

I've watched several videos today talking about the great depth of the Goldilocks arc, and each has found some other subtlety. Didn't notice the acrostic in the book before, but the ending also is exactly out of her favorite story in the book (sitting on dad's lap and saying everything is just right to mama). While both are more easter eggs than narrative devices since you can't really get them without pausing the movie, it shows how much thought was put into things. Also in defense of the "on the nose" reference to what she's seeking being right in front of her, at that point a fresh audience doesn't know what her wish is, and all the other points labeled on the map have been obstacles to prevent the journey from continuing, so the fact that it produces her adoptive home works "right in front of her" works because the map appears to be defending the star rather than helping her find her wish. Regardless the themes of family and the "just right" motif are developed brilliantly in her (and by extension the bears') arc, and everyone clearly saw that.

This movie was so much better than some of the other Dreamworks movies that came out in last year's

16:28 yes, she can grab the map, but remember we still have Jack Horner on the play field, if she grab the map, Jack will target her with his magic weapons and she may not have time to rescue her family.

This is an absolute 10/10! I just watched it today. I didn’t think an animated wolf could actually scare me at times. Jack Horner was a brilliant addition and didn’t feel out of place. How does DreamWorks do it with its sequels.

9:06 actually, I liked how he confirmed that. When I was in the theatre I was like, "yeah, right. As if they would put the actual embodiment of death in a kid's movie." But when he said that line, I was like, "oh crap, he's for real." I feel like with all the twist villains, death fake-outs, and confusing plots that have been in cinema lately, it makes it difficult for me to take things seriously anymore. I re-watched "The Princess and the Frog" the other day and quite frankly, I forgot that they killed off the firefly and I was waiting for him to be 'magically revived' by Mama Odie at the end of the film. That's how much plot twists have changed my perception of cinema these last few years.

i swear Death is my favorite villain since xibalba from the book of life. Hes so scary and my sister is simping for him telling me that shes not a furry but she'd make an exception..

The only reason i saw this movie on release day was because i didnt want to sit through the new avatar movie.. and i absolutely do not regret.

10:08 now that is comedic gold

Fun fact: in brazillian Portuguese the bleep scene isn’t bleeped. Perrito says a word that’s kind of a swear, but technically not one. My 5 year old sister giggled so much

6:17 WAIT, THE WOLF WAS IN THE BACKGROUND?! I never noticed till now! Gosh, Dreamworks is so clever…

"Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is quite possibly the best Dreamworks movie I've ever seen." Moses: I beg your pardon? "Our movie starts off with quite possibly the best first 10 minutes ever in an animated movie." Moses: Oh, now you've crossed the line!

This movie makes me feel like a child again and that's a great thing.

it didnt just deserves all the praise, it EARNED it. It was beautiful. I loved that they allowed emotional moments to unfold and not ruin it with a joke. Yeah... looking at you Marvel.

I finished the reaction video and I 100 percent agree it’s a 10 out of 10 they are finally bringing me back to when I was younger watching really good animation movies

14:44 I've watched dozens of these reviews on the last wish because it's very cathartic, but this is the first time I've seen this detail!! That's so incredibly subtle yet perfect!

Yes, the opening skit and punches at Disney didn't disapoint haha

This is now one of my favorite films EVER now! Dreamworks, how I’ve missed your excellent film making. You more than deserved your victory at the box office over Disney last year.

This is literally the best animated movie I've seen this year 🤧❤️❤️

What I love about Death: his whistle. The Millenial Whoop is a term for when a song alternates between the third and fifth note of a chord for a catchy singalong portion. - 🎶 We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time… - 🎵 I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin’… And more. Periodicity is the idea that measures and verses can have variations that answer each other. Classical music does this all the time, as does Mario themes. When Mario does it, the first period ends in a question that is answered by the repeat, as if the song is saying “there is adventure, who will go; there is adventure; let’s a’go!” When Wolf whistles, he goes up and down a G Major scale. Easy spot of the Millennial whoop. He then whistles the first periodicity: A into C. The audience is confused; is it a step up into A Minor, or a Millennial Whoop for G Major (a step down). He finishes the first period with G Flat, making the chord G Flat Minor. That makes the A and C a Millennial whoop, but into a very dissonant and unsettling chord. Wolf only goes into the second period once, while his music does it a couple times. He repeats the same G Major chord, but then does a solemn half half whole note rhythm of A, G Flat, G. Not only is his periodicity saying “Death calls, your life is uncertain; Death calls, your life is over,” but starting and ending on G says “Death is there from the start, and Death will remain when it’s over.” Who would have thought two chords could be so brilliant?! If it weren’t for its simplicity, I would put this up there with Vader’s Imperial March!

When I heard there was a puss in boots 2, my first reaction was "there's a puss in boots 1?", and my second reaction was "Holy shit, this looks BOMB" Also, they had to do em like that with his reveal as "Death, straight up", because... People are STILL arguing if he's "actually the real death" 🤦‍♂️

This movie was so refreshing to watch. I may be a Pixar and Disney fan but Puss in Boots reminded myself that classic tropes can be re-imagined while also being fresh.

Another cool detail is that, when Puss is remembering how many times he died, you can see the wolf in the corners of the death count

You’re not crying, your eyes are just cosplaying as a waterfall 16:09

This movie is just a treasure it's return to form for dreamworks and a new horizin opening a door for so much and if this dosen't win the best animeted feature im goona break into the house of the pearson that made that decision and make them fell unsafe

17:04 For some reason i get goosebumps during this scene every time. It feels like when a marvel movie foreshadowed the next superhero to join the MCU or something. Except instead of something new, it's the OGs.

That opening skit is perfect XD

Great video! PiB took me by surprise by becoming one of my favorite animated movies of all time. I gotta say though, you really undersold the Death reveal by skipping the first time he says it, staring through the purple crystal as it cracks and then shatters. THAT was an incredible, unforgettable shot and delivery. The followup was honestly a great way to ground him again as a guy with personality beyond the persona. Just my two cents!

PUSS IN BOOTS: High Stakes(ppl care abt it) ✅ Absolute Kicking Villain ✅ Pacing ✅ Story ✅ Side characters which matter ✅ Superub Characters Design (not cartoonish) ✅ now do the same with recent debacles of diseny & pixar.

Now, there is one cool detail that I really love - during the giant scuffle (that's how I call it) the bell, used by giant, gives a sound 8 times, the last one indicating his 8th death

Omg I’m so happy you reacted it this🎉🎉

Ive been so excited about this video for so long now.

Making me and my brothers laugh one again!! Love the video ✨💕

I genuinely think Jack Horner is such a great character despite being a villain cliche because he's NOT the only villain! If Jack were the only villain the story had to offer, we wouldn't be as obsessed with this movie. Puss in Boots gave us three archetypical villains: the evil irredeemable one, the one who is redeemed, and the one who is not really a villain - Death has a moral objective, kind of like all the villains who want to make the world a better place, but their means stand in opposition to the protagonist's. Ercole is just one type of a cliched villain with no nuance or anyone to make him more interesting. Jack Horner has TWO other villains to juxtapose him, and THIS MAKES HIM PRETTY AWESOME

This is definitely in my top 5 favourite Dreamworks movies, I could go on for ages about why this is such a masterpiece. The story, the characters, how it looks, animation, music, the references and little details. Just fantastic, so happy it ended up being amazing. ❤🗡🐈

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

I like how his transition from the intro to the main review and commentary was by using the clip where puss literally says “you want to see something cool?”

this video deserved so much more attention!! i absolutely loved it. earned you a subscriber!

I just got home from Universal and I decided to watch puss in boots the last wish as soon as I got home. I have to say it’s the best recent DreamWorks film. The animation is incredible.

Man I love you're opining skits they are entertaining and funny af

I saw this movie 5 times in the cinema and I thought it was absolutely amazing and slightly below Shrek 2. The Wolf has now become my new favorite movie villain but you had an interesting take on him when you were discussing how you would've changed his character. I personally wish he had one or two more extra scenes but other than that..... FANTASTIC VILLAIN! Great Review, I really enjoyed it :)

Your mentioning of the framerate going choppy when characters are in danger is something I didn't notice. I thought it was whenever a character was picking up a rhythm or speed for combat, but your take makes a lot of sense and _adds_ to the narrative. It cues us in with moments like Puss fighting the governor's soldiers, with how smooth it is, they're ni threat. But it's _really_ useful in the Ginat's fight because it subconciously clues us in how reckless and dangerous Puss is being during the fight. Which reasons why the entire fight has that choppy sense, and why the _giant_ is choppy too, because he too is in danger. And then it cullminates in the showdown with Death, as it's a bit smoother. Puss is in danger, but he willingly faces it down, and refuses to waver.

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing

my theory is that dreamwork's has to churn out some low effort movies that make enough money to keep making a profit and stuff like that as they work on the bangers that they really want to put out

I've been listening to the credits song "La Vida Es Una" and "Porque Te Vas" on repeat, they're so so good.

The momma bear is the most pure of heart character ever! For example, when Goldilocks says that she wants to get a proper family, momma bear reacts by telling her that they are going to help her get the wish anyways even though that would mean she if leaving them. It’s just so heartwarming yet heartbreaking.

Why I think the cast works: foils. A foil is when characters contrast or reflect each other. But let’s also apply this to character motivations. Puss wants to live without fearing death, but ends up doing it through valuing one life rather than using 8 as a safety rope. He learns a moral lesson through his foil, the Wolf Death who also seeks the legendary status of reckless Puss. Kitty Softpaws wants somebody she can trust with all her heart, and her entire heart. She is foiled by Perrito (who unconditionally trusts), Puss (who learns to trust alongside his wish moral), and Jack. Touching on Jack, he is a foil to reflect Puss’s selfishness, and the foil to Kitty’s wish. Where Kitty wants control in her relationships, Jack wants control over magic. The one who tightens their grip ends up losing it, and it’s fitting that Softpaws was the one to knock Jack into the bag. Perrito is foiled by Kitty (as explained above), and by Goldie. Goldie wants her biological family, rejecting the people who love her; Perrito is desperate for any family, despite rejections from potential friends. That’s why Perrito was the one who began changing her mind about staying family with the Bears. So in short: Puss is reflected in Kitty, and contrasted with Death in if the legend should live or die. Kitty is reflected in Jack, and contrasted in Perrito. Perrito is reflected and contrasted with Goldie. And everyone else is an accessory to enhance the main villains.

Yay your back!

When I went to the movie theater and the “far far away” sign appeared you could hear how everyone gasped of joy Also small little detail that I loved, in the Spanish version instead of a P signature, it’s a G signature for “el Gato con Botas” which idk but for me I just feel like that detail is amazing. Props for you dreamworks for making the little kid inside of me who was confused why it was a P in the first movie be pleased

Y’all don’t disrespect the old movie , personally I’ve wanted a sequel for my entire life and getting the sequel from my favourite movie is a Dream Come-true ❤

Hey really good editing and script! GJ

That opening skit was amazing! The comedic timing was great!

When puss in boots is fighting the guards right before the scene with the ice his sword hits at the beat of the music it’s amazing also death gave me chills every time I heard that whistle

This movie had me strapped the whole way through

i love these sm

This is an incredible movie. I love it! You’re so funny too!😂😂❤

Underrated as heck my friend

Man that intro was great, you should think about making it a short just so more people can see it.

You could review every movie ever made and I would literally watch every single review

I'm one of those who enjoyed the first Puss in Boots movie since Puss was my favorite character from Shrek, thus I was one of the minority who were excited when Dreamworks announced a sequel for Puss in Boots. I had no big expectations for the sequel other than I just want to watch a beloved old character in a comedy-adventure story. But boy was I blown away when I watched the Last Wish and was kinda regretting I didn't have money nor the time to see it in the cinemas during its premiere. The story, the animation, the characters, the jokes, everything is just chef's kiss. I actually cried rewatching the giant fight scene because it reminded me why I chose to be an artist -- to bring that joy to people when they see something beautiful created with heart, mind and soul. I have set the concept art of the rainbow landscape with Team Friendship as my desktop wallpaper so I can be inspired every time I open my laptop to draw.

My nephew is 12 and I took him to the movie, he picked up on themes that are worth thinking about. Especially Death, it actually scared him half as much as it terrified me. But the convo it sparked and questions it provoked in my nephew was awesome! I love stories that instill love for stories!

This is the movie we all needed. I don't just see Death as a good villain, I see him as a savior. I'll explain what I mean in a future video I have planned.

This guy right here, I dig 'em, subcribed
