| San Francisco ChronicleZaki HasanIt’s a perfect package of whimsy, sass and sweetness. |
| IndieWireEmma Stefansky“The Last Wish” has no qualms about testing the expectations of its young audience while delivering a freewheeling tale about appreciating the nine lives we already have. |
| Paste MagazineB.L. PantherWhat could have easily been a hairball of half-digested nostalgia is transformed into a mature and cat-ivating story that positively purrs. |
| ColliderNate RichardIt is not only one of the best animated films of the year, but it's one of DreamWorks' best, and one that will strike a chord with moviegoers of all ages. It's equal parts exciting and hilarious as well as earnest, it never feels like it is talking down to anyone. |
| IGNRafael MotamayorPuss in Boots: The Last Wish mixes stunning animation with a poignant, surprisingly mature story to deliver the Shrek franchise's answer to Logan we didn't know we needed. |
| Boston GlobeOdie HendersonThe script by Paul Fisher and Tommy Swerdlow is very silly, to be sure, but everything works. The animation is well done, the music has a lovely Spanish flair, and the cast does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. |
| Slant MagazineKeith WatsonGiven that big-studio children’s animation so often feels like it was created by algorithm, it’s refreshing to see a kid’s cartoon like The Last Wish that’s filled with too many ideas rather than too few. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt is Banderas who brings home the tocino and serves up the whole jamon when the situation demands it. Which in the case of the immodest, flamboyant and recklessly brave Puss-in-Boots, is pretty much every moment he opens his mouth in his delightful, and perhaps final romp as the character. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrDirected by Joel Crawford, with Januel Mercardo as co-director, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has enough good jokes (script by Paul Fisher and story by Tommy Swerdlow and Tom Wheeler) to keep anyone amused for an afternoon at the movies. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiYes, it’s your typical Macguffin, with everybody chasing down a trinket, but a fairly creative one with a lot of good jokes. The comic-book-style action sequences also set co-directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado’s movie apart from the litter. The No. 1 reason to watch, though, is Banderas’ top-notch voice performance. If only more A-listers treated their animated film roles as more than a pet project. |
