Puss in Boots The Last Wish is a MODERN CLASSIC | Nux Reacts 

Dreamworks did not need to go this hard in making a sequel, but I sure glad they did!

What really blows me away about this movie is that it could have easily been something very different. I read that Puss’ actor Antonio had a really severe heart attack, which led to the inspiration that created this gem

The thing about "pure evil" antagonists is that they are carried by the charisma of the performance.

Donkey definitely a bard, he seduced the dragon. He got that rizz in him.

The thing I find interesting is during the cave of the lost souls scene Puss already recognized how arrogant he was in his past lives when death showed up and it felt like the wishing star itself was at odds with him speaking through his past lives. Like, "wtf are you doing you're interrupting his character arc this is my thing get out of here"

And yet if they all realized they didn't need the wish before they set out for the map, Jack Horner woulda broke everything

Am I the only person who strongly believes Kitty was lying about not going to the wedding? I thought this was obvious but I haven't seen a single review that agrees with me. She was letting Puss off the hook because she realized how torn up he was about it while also rewriting history so she wasn't humiliated. Why would she be that furious over Puss not attending a wedding she had no plans of attending herself? Is she that bitter because she failed to stand Puss up. That doesn't make sense! No. She wanted to put it behind them and so invented a past where they were equally at fault. She wasn't just playing the victim card. She was furious. Edit: They discussed this more after I wrote this.

Jack Horder is Disney. Puss in Boots The Last Wish is a commentary of predatory Disney practices during that time, as well as a good movie. Ya gotta do both to get your point across.

Jack Horner the best villain in the movie that somehow achieved meme hood for his unapologetic evilness.😺

The bear group is not the most pure evil villains But they are just comedic relief You could say they're...just right. I'll go home now

52:15 Even if the target doesn't respect his life, tormenting them with sadistic glee is still pretty evil Also, his final line in Spanish "Why did I go to play with my food!?" shows it was a "game" to him, which is easier to notice in Spanish. And Puss character development ruined the game for Death If we take everything into context, Death went out of his way to break both physically and mentally one guy, all out of spite, while enjoying every second of it. He enjoyed it so much that he was frustrated at the fact Puss grew up to the point the person he spitefully and sadically pursued was technically gone

Basically jarjar vs DARTH JARJAR! "oh yes, I gave you powers palpy, sure!" -robot chicken... "Finally someone figured out the original phantom menace!" - the ACTOR for JARJAR Binks... Remember kids, JARJAR was going to be KILLED by his people- not a town idiot, he was a town MENACE!!! And further, notice how he is always nearby and silently mumbling NEXT TO characters when they abruptly change plans? Final kicker for this insert... ACCORDING TO OBI WAN KENOBI: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LUCK! meanwhile JARJAR: "lucky" at every turn, never injured, evades death sentence by... Being chosen by obi wan INSTEAD OF LITERALLY ANY OTHER GUNGAN?!? HE EVEN WINS A WAR WITH "LUCKY" CLUMSINESS? ... rewatch the phantom menace, all the hints are there!

I love everything about death in this movie from his weapons to his lines to the fact that he manifests as a wolf, and speaking of his wolf design the animators did an amazing job with his clothing to the hints that he really is death before the reveal, like the shots of cream Puss I has drank, being on his 9th, the fact he got visibly annoyed at puss saying that he ‘laughs in the face of death’ by scratching the counter, he does the coin in the eyes thing(The Greeks placed coins on the eyes of their dead relatives so they could pay the ferry man to cross the river styx to the afterlife,) only Puss sees him and he doesn’t appear on the map even his presence at the giant attack in the beginning of the movie. It’s all so impactful but the best part is the whistle that tells Puss he is nearby as it can terrify him without even seeing death, put him on edge even more. I don’t think enough people understand how impactful the whistle is as it the fact that he uses two senses to alert his prey theoretically he could just silently stalk Puss, but he does enjoy the hunt and the fear of his prey which puts him on a razor’s edge between villain and force of nature. He thoroughly enjoys Puss’s discomfort and anyone who has anxiety knows certain things can set you off, and anyone who has had a panic attack understands what Puss feels. I have never seen a panic attack don so well in any movie or tv show, animated or not. All in all I cannot say enough good things about death.

My favorite thing about Death that i have not seen some one talk about is that at the boss fight Death does not leave the star he only leaves the fire pit. the only character main that does not see death as a wolf or as a concept in the whole movie is Jack who dies in the star which Death has not left. the phenix (symbol of rebirth) and the cricket (every ones conscience) might have seen Death while waiting around the star while flying both not needing a wish, but that does not really mater they are immortal ideas like death but not as legendary

I straight up gave up hope for the film industry until I saw this in the theater. What a Masterpiece.

Since we’re on this topic, i’d like to recommend Aldone and his villain analysis videos. His style of video is sorely underrated and needed

Here's what would tip it nux. As an antagonist, death would just wait for a reckless and disrespectful (in regards to his safety and respect of death) person as puss. However, death here, is actively attempting murder. If you don't save someone from getting hit by a truck, you may be an ass. If you shove someone in front of the truck, you're a murderer.

I'd say that Death the character is himself a villain but he also poetically represents a force of nature.

a little extra note is that baby bear. never calls goldi sister or anything else then orphan until she saves him vs jack... so not only does goldi feel like she doesn't belong baby keeps making her feel like she doesn't belong.

Nux & Shaff should totally collab some day

Big man funny

The movie Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron has a villian that doesn't get killed off

The more the movie progressed, the more Perrito became the MVP in a way. Not only did he fix Puss and Kitty, but also had a huge impact on fixing Goldy Locks. So he actually put his therapy dog powers to use on atleast 3, if you count the bears, 6 people and helped better their lives. Dude is magic, I have nothing else to say.

The last wish is 1 of my favourite films even now and death is definitely the best character in the film

You're right. Death is an antagonist. He is not a villain who needs to be stopped, but a vigilante dealing out justice in an unjust situation.

As of recently with the incident of Disney’s flopped movie “Wish” it feels like a prophecy has come to pass. With Jack Horner representing a portrayal of Disney incorporating the many different series and IPs, Jack Horner went after the *WISHING* Star, Disney’s latest movie for their 100 year celebration was called *”WISH”*. You CAN’T fucking make this shit up! It’s so ironic!

This is peak dreamworks

Oh hell yeah. Schaffrilas. He's my favorite review channel.

The background build up to stalking his victim; Death is basically clockwork from sly.

Death gives life value.

Definitely one of the best movies of the last 4 years!

Disney already did an amazing job of a twist villain in the movie Atlantis. The small cracks show really on and the guy is never really seen as a good guy, but in the end he goes so fast to become the true villain, which is a twist but not out of nowhere. Such an underrated movie

56:18 yes Nux. They did do a really job indeed

Another disney story that goes dark quickly is Quasimodo( IMO), in the first scene the Bailif( Judge) Frodo is willing to KILL an infant and kills the infants mother. And death is nevet not off the tabke for Judge Frodo, hell he even tried to kill a family in a burning building.

Oh the twist villain guy who loves to waste time on twist villains.

The thing about Goldie is something that I believe all adopted children can relate to. Even if you were adopted by the most loving,compassionate, supportive family, when you find out you are adopted it really messes you up. "Why didn't they want me? What did I do wrong? Am I really that unlovable that even my own mother couldn't love me?" Yes you can work your way through it but it's still a hell of a blow. And it's not that you don't love your adoptive family but sometimes there are layers you have to work through dealing with the shock.

56:22 You're right Nux, they did really job 🤝

Death Villany is in the same vain as Hades Villany from Hercules. He wants this one person to die for his own benefit and amusement usinf any means possible. For Death at the end he changes his mind after seeing Puss' resolve. Hades however had bigger plans and goals that truly made him a villain. They both had the same starting point and path that went in different directions near the end.

It's almost like death is just a phantom of Puss's fearful imagination.

23:11 I wish he said "learning to take risks, like using your left hand for company"

You can say Goldi and the bears are just right as villains

I've come to the conclusion that dreamworks doesn't make sequels they make Master-crafts.

I can not describe how much I love this movie in only a comment, certified hood classic right here

It was good because they are obviously reviving the shrek universe. And the start of this revival. Had to be good.

I think the only kinda twist villain Disney did well was King Candy in Wreck it Ralph. You knew he was a bad guy, he just seemed to have a semi valid point for most of the film.

As a swedish person That’s the definition of ”lagom/just right” the Lagom jokes are sooo funny and you can see why Gold lock is made in Germany😂

My personal favorite character from the movie is actually Goldilocks. Her arch wasn't grand and extensive, she wasn't a pure evil monster or an unstoppable force of nature, but that is what I love about her. Her character developed all came down to one important decision and a realization of what she really wants from life. It's simple but impactful and important. I mean seriously try thinking of the scene where baby is being slowly pulled up in that current that will kill him and goldilocks has to make the big decision of making the wish she wanted for the "perfect" family damning the current one or to save them even if it means she may not get that wish. If she chose to damn the family that love her that are willing to do anything to make her happy even if it comes at the cost of themselves then wouldn't it be a major disappointment. I know I would have been upset with her. I love how while they aren't a major "villain" they themselves are aware of that by the end of it. The movie was aware of it. The scene where the map goes haywire and says that what Goldilocks wishes for has always been with her. The thing driving her she already had and just needed to see it and come to terms with it. A surprisingly realistic problem people have. The saying goes you don't know what you have until it's gone. It's not uncommon for people to fixate on what's wrong in their life and not see what is just right. That is until is isn't an has become another bigger problem. I like to think how Goldilocks hesitates with taking the wish that knowing that she would be disappointed in herself if she made the mistake of letting her bear family die. That is actually what I love about this film as a whole is how it isn't afraid to tackle real problems such as kitties trust issues, puss in boots fear of his own mortality, and goldilocks perfectionism (that could have stemmed from being a lonely orphan wishing more from life). That is basically what I would summarize as her big character flaw she has to overcome throughout the movie. She is obsessed with her "perfect" or "just right" that doesn't realize how good things are for her now. The issue with being a perfectionists is if you are always looking up for the grand ideal you'll never see the beauty in what's before you. (Note) Ok, I'll admit I am likely a bit biased. I relate to goldilocks a little too much. She's still a great character. I stand by that.

What a crazy crossover episode.

Never did I expect to see Schaffrillas on this channel, pleasant surprise.

YES!! Finally, someone else gets it. "Actions have Consequences" and society has been slowly indoctrinating the idea that when bad people do bad things they need to be forgiven... That is a horrible idea. Can we forgive someone for an accidental motor vehicle hit? Depends on whether it was genuinely accidental. But generally yes, we can. But if an intent to bring harm to another is the case then My answer will be always, no.

Nux + PiB 2 + more than 1h of content? I'm down!

Alright. What people dont get about horner is that his situation and predicament follows a logic

I always thought death was an anti villain

YESS I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD REACT TO HIS VIDEO This movie is a 100/10, I havent stopped loving it since it came out lol Also, i just gotta say, I love your charisma. You're hilarious !

Sometimes i couldn’t tell which one of you were talking because the two of you have a bit similar voices😂😂😂

who ever hired wolf voice, just give her/him a massive raise, because that actor make the wolf get to another level. i love thats from brazil and have that tone on his voice that make it perfect for this role. when i saw the wolf, i knew he was death... for some reason i think someone at dreamwork was a huge DIABLO 3 fan, because the Wolf is almost 1 to 1 comparison to Mathael Angel of Death, from the color scheme, clothing, weapons, he even does mathael pose from Diablo 3...

Love Schiffrilas, one of my favorite, movie/TV reviewers, you should react to more of his videos.

The fact that it's a coming of age story, but it's a coming of OLD age is amazing

Nux, you should look at Ranking of the King's final fight against king boze as it is very similar to the puss and boot's giant battle. It's a treat.

Death is like adult Eren in the first episode😂

Shrek 4 is a masterpiece as well, but its just different. I skipped it for 10 years because it was tainted by Shrek 3, but I do believe it rivals Shrek 2 and is a worthy part of the franchise.

imagine how cathartic it is for Jack to F!@# with Pinocchio's conscience😂

5:06 yes the most gorgeous animation you've ever seen in an animated film if you've never seen anime every single film from hayao Miyazaki looks a thousand times better than anything a Westerner can make

Ahh Nux, you never fail to spread my toes with good content

Yeah, death is evil in this instance because his intent is malice. He feels disrespect from Puss and wants him to feel powerless because of that. In the end, Puss faces death without cowering because helearns that while death is inevitable, he can and should appreciate the life he has and respect life and death both.

wtf youtube i didn’t get a notification that this video came out!!!! i have it set to get all notifications from ur channel

I've always hated the idea of forgiving a villain. Like, just because the villain is charming and could be seen as a devastating villain, it doesn't mean that they didn't do the massive crimes that they do (think how most batman media handles Mr. Freeze as an example). Jack Horner was made in the hopes of convincing an audience that he's irredeemable and has no moral skew in his ideologies to counteract that irredeemable attitude. But one problem I've seen a couple of times is that people say things like "Its messed up that everyone gets their happy ending but this one guy" when they don't put into question if he deserves to have a happy ending, people are so programmed to accept forgiveness within the atrocities made on mankind through shows and movies, that it doesnt register to them that villians are supposed to be antagonists and not rivals. That's also why I like puss and goldies rivalry in the movie, because that's how you redeem a character.

Jack Horny is so funny I almost don't regret watching an hour of reaction content

Nux, giving us wisdom in this video.

Such a good Video.

23:07 that hurt… that hurt a lot but is needed

How does this movie just has it all, that's not fair

15:24 you explain perfectly why everybody thinks this is a great movie is because just putting in just the tiniest bit of effort make something that would just normally be mid to extraordinary that is how far Western media has fallen

Thanks for doing this video going to make my daughter watch it too☺️☕

0:44 You might be right, I actually did watch this movie with my mom and my former boyfriend.

Hot take? The Last Wish > Spiderverse 1.

I got to see this in theaters bc of my school field trip

Nice episode.

ur relatable with ur opinion on the wolf guy

More SchaffrillasProductions please

I feel like we are going through a bit of a much needed animation war between this beauty and the mario movie. Disney needs to do something good. Even their pixar movies have been lacking.

I admit, I don’t want a 4th panda movie, (mostly because I’m afraid they will fall in comparison to this movie)…but if they DO a 4th, they have a high bar to match.

Cheers for schaff

Idk why so many people think the last scene is "just a teaser" for Shrek 5. This works on its own, fits to the story and to Puss' character growth. The whole encounter with Death teached him to set his priorities straight. Instead of wasting his last life on pretending to be an outlaw-legend in some random villages for meaningless "fans" who are mostly on his side for money, he chooses to meet his old friends. Because he knows he doesn't have much time, canonically he's most likely in his middle age, and he has no "cheat codes" anymore. Even tho he never died in a serious way, there's a huge possibility he may die in some ordinary way, like every other person who has only one life. The last scene honestly brings tears to my eyes, it's just a perfect conclusion to how Puss changed as a person, and how inspirational it is.

If I turn my mind to the villain's I most enjoy, it really comes down to how well they're presented. They can just be plain greedy, past the point of redemption, or have given in to some base negative, or ideal which they can't give up now. Within that, they can be simple, or complex. But... if you're going to make a villain complex, the effort needs to be put in to make their fall work. If they're to be redeemed, that has to make sense. But then... if we use the term villain, it really ought to be for the irredeemable, otherwise they more commonly fit antagonist. Horner has some unspoken potential depth to how he got where he was. I can imagine him being told he had everything he could want, in a world of magic and fairy tales that make it all seem mundane. But even if they took the time to flesh that out, give nuance and complexity to the path he took, he's still decided he doesn't care about anyone but himself. That, is what makes him a villain.

One of the few sequels that somehow was just as much of a napalm attack as the first movie. Last Wish was so good.

Cant wait for shrek 5

Omg I love schaffrillous dude is a goat

56:03 Pyrocynical moment

52:11 I gotta disagree with you here, Nux. Death is actively trying to take somebody’s life, and operate outside of the realm that he’s supposed to. He even admits it just like Jack Horner. If being evil is solely dependent upon perspective, then it could be said that Jack Horner isn’t evil. Death actively knows what he’s doing is wrong. He’s definitely a villain.

As someone with panic attacks that takes me 5 days to recover from. Velma showing panic attacks was offensive. This movie is gold ❤

65 likes in 6 minutes is kinda wild

Goldylock's crime family wasn't completely just or completely evil. They were JUST WRONG ( or right ). They were meant to mirror team friendship and show a possible path Puss could take. You have the good, the bad, and the ugly, or in their words, the "just right".

Lets see how good this is

Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!!

me watching the movie for the first time knowing Wagner Moura, actor for Pablo fucking Escobar in Narcos, was going to voice death: 🌚

They shat on Kung fu panda 4.

Well yeah Puss isn't Chuck Norris or Teddy Roosevelt, or Kempachi, Death isn't afraid of him.

I agree with the warranted punishment aspect mentioned regarding Death's pursuit. I still don't see Death as a villain, just more as an antagonist. And the reason I still see it this despite this explanation is the fact of Death as an overall aspect. In most tales, not just fairy tales, Death is not seen as the one who actively takes one's life, but the one who collects the soul and guides it to the afterlife, whichever it may be. Obviously, Death has gotten bad rep over the millennia because no one likes it when someone dies. And yes, as it's said multiple times in this video, Dreamworks continues to subvert these aspects of fairy tales, including Death. Instead of Death being a guide for the soul to the afterlife, now Death is what people imagine it to be: a hunter, a killer, a sadistic collector. And with the context of this movie and how the story is set up, it probably allows both concepts of Death as an aspect and character to be present. As mentioned before, Death is usually doing one job: guiding souls to the afterlife. Sometimes, they don't want to die, sometimes they've made their peace. With the ones that are ready, Death probably sees it as an easy grab but also a somewhat boring day's work. With those who are not ready, he probably gets to put on a good scary face at least or go on a small hunt at most, a little bit more fun for Death. In THIS story, Death has been collecting lives from Puss' adventures and is one away from a full collection of a self-absorbed, over confident "legend who thought he was immortal." And while Death probably wants that last piece, his job in the universe probably doesn't allow him to outright kill a living being, so he appears as a wolf bounty hunter with swordplay that actually matches AND surpasses Puss' skill and experience. So, if anything, Death could be seen more like an anti-hero/rival to the main protagonist. Not one that will reappear every movie or anything, but one that definitely sticks out and could easily provide a scale of power or skill within this universe in general.
