Nine lives sounded like plenty until the count dropped to one. This 2022 animated adventure from Joel Crawford follows the swashbuckling folk hero as he confronts the one thing he has always outrun: consequence.
What is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish about?
A legendary blade for hire has treated mortality as a rumor for years, burning through eight lives on reckless jobs and barroom brawls. When a run-in with a giant leaves him down to his final one, the swagger that made him famous suddenly feels like a liability. Word of a wish-granting star sends him chasing a map through a forest thick with rival treasure hunters, a bounty-hunting wolf who seems to know more about endings than any storybook villain should, and an old flame with her own reasons for wanting the wish. The chase turns into something closer to a reckoning: every shortcut he has ever taken catches up with him at once, and the film leans into darker, faster set pieces than its predecessor while keeping the fairy-tale irreverence intact. Family loyalties, borrowed courage, and the difference between fearlessness and recklessness all get pulled into the hunt before the last life is spent.
