Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' releases on Friday 9 December 2022
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish may not be a Christmas movie by any means but its central theme of appreciating the beauty of life and your loved ones is something that holds true for this time of year.
--
Following in the highly successful Shrek franchise, the third Puss in Boss spin-off starring Antonio Banderas reprising his role as the cheeky cat is giving all the feels of a funny, family movie.
LAST LIFE SO MAKE IT COUNT! Puss In Boots: The Last Wish follows the adventures of the fierce and fabulous feline living his best life as the unconventional knight in shining armor.
But there's one little issue standing in the way of his happiness: after living life dangerously, Puss is down to his last life (cats have nine lives, in case you didnt know)
--
Having squandered his eight previous lives partying, drinking, and performing foolish stunts, the cat finds himself fleeing from the face of death which comes in the form of a scary werewolf.

Will Puss In Boots pursue the star and risk ruining friendships along the way, or will he give up his arrogant, egotistical days as a bombastic hero?
