Premise

When Puss in Boots learns he has used eight of his nine lives, he sets out on a journey to find the mystical Last Wish and restore the lives he has lost with Kitty Softpaws and his new companion Perro, a therapy dog who was disguised as a cat in Mama Luna’s home, all while also escaping new enemies who are trying to hunt him down due to his reputation after the first film.[1]

Voice cast

• Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, a cat former fugitive from the law and a hero of San Ricardo.[2]

• Olivia Colman as Mama Bear[3]
• Harvey Guillén as Perro, a therapy dog[3]
• Samson Kayo as Baby Bear[3]

• John Mulaney as "Big" Jack Horner[4]

• Ray Winstone as Papa Bear[3]

Production

Development

In November 2012, executive producer Guillermo del Toro shared director Chris Miller's intentions to take the titular character on an adventure to a "very exotic locale." He also said a couple of drafts for the screenplay were completed.[5] In April 2014, voice actor Antonio Banderas said work on the sequel had begun.[2] On June 12, 2014, the movie was titled Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves.[6] In March 2015, Banderas said the script was under restructuring. He also hinted at the possibility of Shrek appearing in the film.[7]

By November 2018, Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri had been brought on board as an executive producer of both Shrek 5 and Puss in Boots 2.[8][9] In February 2019, it was reported Bob Persichetti was set to direct the film while Latifa Ouaou, producer of the first film, would oversee the development of the sequel with Chris Meledandri.[10] On August 19, 2020, DreamWorks trademarked Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as the new title of the sequel, which was approved in December.[11] In March 2021, Joel Crawford replaced Persichetti as director, having previously helmed DreamWorks' The Croods: A New Age (2020), with producer Mark Swift, editor James Ryan, and screenwriter Paul Fisher returning as collaborators along with Januel Mercado, who was the head of story on that film and the co-director of this film.[3][12] Cast members were announced in March 2022.[3]

Animation and design

Like DreamWorks' previous film The Bad Guys (2022), inspiration for the design of the film came from Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), to make the film look more like storybook illustrations.[13][14] Using new technology, the team at DreamWorks focused more on a painterly style design, to make the film look like a fairy-tale world, different than what it was in Shrek (2001) from their defunct studio Pacific Data Images.[15][16]

Music

On June 29, 2022, it was reported that Despicable Me and Minions composer Heitor Pereira was in the process of recording the score, replacing Henry Jackman from the first film.[17]

Release

The film is set to be theatrically released on December 21, 2022. It was originally scheduled to be released on November 2, 2018,[6] and later on December 21, 2018,[18] before it was removed from the release schedule altogether in January 2015 due to corporate restructuring and DreamWorks Animation's new policy to release just two films a year.[19][20] Upon the project's resurrection, it was given a release date for September 23, 2022,[12] but in April 2022, it was moved to its current December 21 date.[21]

The first thirty minutes of the film were shown at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2022. Critics noted the darker tone of the movie when compared to its predecessor and director Joel Crawford agreed with them, mentioning that Puss' "fear of death is the engine that drives the movie."[22][16]
