Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

The character Puss in Boots appeared in a few of the Shrek movies and had his own film in 2011. This computer animated sequel deals with Puss’s mortality: He has used up eight of his nine lives and he wants more. Voiced by Antonio Banderas, Puss is funny, conceited and ironic, The film retains some of the Shrek humor. Added to the mix are very different versions of other fairy tails: Goldilocks and the Three Bears and (Not so) Little Jack Horner. All of them are pursuing the last wish. This is one of those films that appeals to children on one level and adults on another. Enjoyable.
