Art Boot Camp: Grace's Review Of The Film "Puss In Boots"

Trip to the Cinema - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Puss in Boots

I went to the cinema to see ‘Puss In Boots: The Last Wish’

on Monday the 27th of March.

We went that day because the tickets are cheaper on Mondays.

The movie was surprisingly good!

I really like the animation style during the action scenes.

It was deliberately more cartoonish

(sort of like anime) similar to the movie ‘The Bad Guys’ and

‘Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse’.

I found an article about the animation and Nate Wragg, the Production

Designer said

“We wanted to make sure it was grounded in something that actually mattered for the character.

And so, we took it back to his roots as a character born out of fairy tale stories and illustrations”.

I think it worked really well, it looked a lot better than the original.

And some of it was genuinely scary! The main villain was

Death as a wolf (the Big Bad Wolf).

Which makes sense because one of the writers (Tommy Swerdlow) wrote

‘Childs Play’!

There was a bit where Puss in Boots was having a panic attack after seeing the wolf

and my brother Joe (very loudly) said “he’s having a heart attack!” which was funny.

The scene was very cute though because Puss’s friend helps him.

My favorite character was Big Jack Horner, played by John Mulaney

who also voiced

Peter Porker/Spider-Ham in ‘Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse’.

I liked his character design and the way his face was smaller than the rest of hm.

I also liked all the funny fairytale jokes and references in the background like

the "ethical bug” which tries (and fails) to make Jack a better person.

Puss in Boots is voiced by Antonio Bandaras and he first appeared in Shrek 2 in 2004.

I was surprised by how many years ago that was – it was before I was born!
