Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a surprisingly profound meditation on mortality and existentialism, far removed from the typical lighthearted fare of the Shrek franchise. Released over a decade after its predecessor, it has been hailed as one of the best animated films of the 2020s for its mature storytelling and innovative visual style.
The film marks a radical departure from the hyper-realistic CGI of previous DreamWorks projects. Inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , it utilizes a "painterly" 2.4D aesthetic that blends 3D models with hand-drawn 2D flourishes. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish YIFY
