After becoming a sleeper box office hit, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is now repeating that same success by maintaining a spot in Netflix’s top 10.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was a sleeper hit at the box office last year, and the movie is now repeating that very same success on streaming platforms. Directed by Joel Crawford, the sequel to 2011's Puss in Boots sees Antonio Banderas return to voice the titular cat after his initial introduction in 2004's Shrek 2.
Now, following Puss in Boots: The Last Wish's release in theaters last year, the film has become a popular offering on Netflix. The film has now been in the streamer's top ten list for two consecutive weeks, falling only behind different Netflix originals. Currently, the three offerings ranking above Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are: The Cloned Tyrone, Unknown: Cave of Bones, and at number one, The Outlaws.
Why Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Has Been So Popular After the extended Shrek franchise lay dormant for a number of years, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came as something of a surprise. The film earned surprisingly positive reviews from critics and the film currently sits at an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The story itself was fun and featured moments of surprising emotion. It didn't feel overly reliant on the movies that had come before it, but it still featured some fun references and callbacks. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish's ending even teases Shrek 5, with Puss and Kitty embarking on a new adventure and expressing interest in reuniting with some "old friends". In addition to the story and impressive voice acting, however, the animation was also a breath of fresh air.
Ditching the more conventional CGI animation that was commonplace for the franchise, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish takes style cues from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, featuring a colorful, hand-drawn look instead of focusing on a more life-like style. This 2.5D stylized animation lends the film a unique, story book-like look, which suits the new tale being told.
