‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ Taught Me How to Face Death

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is the second installment of the Puss in Boots franchise and is definitely long overdue and one we didn’t know we needed. Like the 90s cartoon theme songs, this film did not need to go this hard, but it did. This time around instead of flying through the air and playing all the local kitties, Puss is grappling with debilitating anxiety and commitment issues, all while dealing with the impermanence of life and literally facing his demons. Who knew Puss in Boots would have me leaving the theater wanting to sort my F-ing life out?

The graphics deviate from the first film some 12 years ago. At first, you don’t know what it is. But the fast-pace comic book feel gives you a familiar heart-racing feeling. With each frame dropped you realize, it’s Into the Spider-Verse! The new look really brings the storytelling element to life and elevates the folkloric experience. Watching Puss fly through the air with his sword drawn this time around feels like it’s jumping right off the page and through the screen. Aside from the new look, the movie brings us its well-known twist on folkloric storytelling with gravitas and humor. I’m talking “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” but make it Ocean’s. Jack Horner but make it Elon Musk’s Twitter. &nbsp…
