Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Was 2022's Animated Dark Horse And ... (Game Rant)

As one of 2022's best animated movies, a tame box office should not deter viewers from giving Puss In Boots: The Last Wish a chance.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a fun and emotional rollercoaster that’s inventive and uses animation techniques to boost its artistic value, it’s practically everything that an animated movie should be. [since Bob Chapek took over as Disney CEO](https://gamerant.com/disney-bob-iger-return-huge-deal/), the company started limiting releases of Pixar movies to Disney Plus streaming, a decision that has kept well-liked films from the world's most prestigious animation studio away from movie theaters. Simply put Puss in Boots: The Last Wish offers some of the best animated entertainment out there, especially if limited to the big screen. It’s that anxiety that made Toy Story 3 so spectacular and relatable to adults, as well as kids, but it’s also present in the likes of Bambi, The Iron Giant, Inside Out, Coco and Soul, And why is it so important that cinephiles support Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as a signal this is where the industry should move towards to? While the first Puss in Boots could bank on the popularity of Shrek to secure a profitable box office, bringing back Antonio Banderas’ anthropomorphic fairy tale cat was a bit of an odd move.

What else makes this film so special is that in amongst all the laughter, singing and dancing, Fisher has also created an amazing story that explores what it means to be a family, especially touching on whether Goldilocks can accept that she is adopted yet still loved, and the impact of facing one’s mortality may have on someone. Credit really must be paid to screenwriter Paul Fisher (The Croods: A New Age) for his work on this film because it is his ingenious screenplay that has led to one of the most enjoyable films of the year. Unwilling to face his mortality, Puss decides that it is time for him to retire from his life of crime and soon he finds himself unwillingly living as a cat in a home for retired cats.
