Antonio Banderas returned as the voice of Puss, the swashbuckling outlaw from the Shrek universe. But this time, the stakes weren’t about treasure or glory. Puss discovers he’s burned through eight of his nine lives. Death itself — a terrifying, whistle-snapping wolf voiced by Wagner Moura — stalks him. The film pivots from comedy into existential dread without losing its family-friendly charm. It’s a rare beast: a kids’ movie that genuinely unnerves adults.
The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $554 million worldwide. The sequel, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), sees Puss facing his greatest challenge yet as he confronts the Wolf of Wall Street and a group of ruthless mercenaries. puss in boots google drive
