About the movie

l Gato con Botas: El Último Deseo
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2023)

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is one of those movies that everyone enjoys, it has jokes in it for everyone and it is a movie that children will remember, makes adults laugh and, with its frenetic and very funny rhythm, is pure entertainment with a touch of spicy bad boy acting and lots of adventures and good vibes.

It is innovative in the animation, combining modern effects with a “retro” touch and the most modern elements of CGI with a clear message of being a “classic with a modern taste”. Many, many references for a more “cultured” audience, a good classic story for learned parents and some dashes of naughtiness here and there: a charming combination that does not offend anyone and plays with all thanks to its concentrated narrative: it has such a dizzying rhythm that in barely 100 minutes, and with three or four gags per minute, it will make you laugh, it achieves certain perfection in its studied chaotic style.

However, it not at all pretentious nor does it fool anyone: this is a fast movie that does not attempt to go down in the annals of animation movies. It does not attempt to be pretentious or be philosophical: it wants to be fun and manages to be entertaining with the simplicity of doing what it knows how to do and what it seeks: to give us an hour and a half of freshness, entertainment and pure genuine rhythm.

Our Opinion

A small delight for all: gourmets, little and adult which manages, thanks to its simplicity and a great and studied screenplay, delight all of us and offer us what we have come for.

Entertainment, which is what movies were born to do precisely.
