Puss in Boots The Last Wish Discussion

I’d heard good things from friends but never saw the first one so went back and watched that first. It was fine but nothing exceptional, so I went into The Last Wish with middling expectations but was completely blown away. Just a fun, smart, and gorgeous film from start to finish.

I agree. It is gorgeous and fun. And it also has some deep emotional and thought-provoking moments. For a kid’s movie, the subtle reminder of death and Puss’s creeping mortality throughout the movie adds a layer of dread. And that whistle just wraps it in a very intriguing bow. :)

This was a great movie, especially the realistic panic attack scene.

I also noticed how the frame rate dropped during action sequences, giving it an anime-like feel during the action, which I actually liked a lot.

Plus the denial of death and the dangers for it is also pretty realistic. Puss’s descent to cynicism and cowardice is believable from a stance of someone who’s used to hero worship and being a “big legend” suddenly stripped of his power and forced to contend with his own fragile mortality.
