This is a review of the 2022 animation ‘Puss In Boots: the Last Wish’. We watched it on the 2023 All Region Blu-ray from DreamWorks Animation, and Universal. This plays in 2.39:1 HD Widescreen and 1080p, with 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus audio, that sounds fabulous. The picture quality is also first-rate, with superbly sharp animations, and gorgeously rich colour. This provides 102 minutes of top-of-the-range animation ~ slightly longer than the original. There is also a chunky selection of extras. Darling, Cary (February 18, 2023). " Everything, RRR, Banshees top Houston Film Critics' Awards". Houston Chronicle.

The riotous ‘Shrek’ franchise; the hugely enjoyable ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ series; lesser titles ‘Kung Fu Panda’ and “Madagascar’; all have proved hugely popular. But to date, their glorious reimagining of the European fairy tale ‘Puss In Boots’, has been top of the tree. Now however, there is a new No. 1, the stupendously, stonkingly good, sequel. We loved the original ‘Puss’ from 2011, but this is even better. Ritman, Alex (December 21, 2022). " Banshees of Inisherin, Aftersun Top London Critics' Circle Nominations". The Hollywood Reporter.

Puss’ was both successful, and critically well-received, and it was the firm intention of Guillermo del Toro (Executive Producer) and Chris Miller (Director), to make a sequel.

If you look at the rationale behind the difference in the release dates between the US and UK, it’s probably to do with post-COVID nervousness and audience differences around the winter holidays.
