Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will finally be coming to streaming very soon. The sequel to the original Puss in Boots, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has proven to be a massive hit and a box office success. Having already earned a $442.5 million take against a $90 million budget, the film has certainly established the fact that the Shrek universe is still viable and that Puss in Boots remains well aware about how to draw a crowd.
While Puss in Boots: The Last Wish‘s box office success will be coming to a halt as it leaves theaters, the movie isn’t done and will charge on, just like Puss after his many deaths. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will begin streaming on March 10, according to a report by CBR. There, it will be joining the other Shrek films on Peacock.
What To Expect From Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
Antonio Banderas returns as Puss in Boots, alongside other star members of the Puss in Boots: The Last Wish team. The rest of the cast includes the star-studded actors Salma Hayek Pinault (Desperado), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), Florence Pugh (Black Widow), John Mulaney (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Wagner Moura (Narcos), Olivia Colman (The Crown), and Ray Winstone (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). The experienced cast certainly helped turn Puss in Boots: The Last Wish into the best Shrek film in years.
While it could be easy to expect a lighthearted story when looking at a movie about a cat with bravado, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is happy to dissuade the notion. Instead, the film focuses on the fact that Puss has just wasted eight of his nine lives. Left with little more than the option to face death either stoically or with fear, Puss rejects that idea out of hand and immediately sets about to find the Wishing Star to restore the rest of his lives.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has earned acclaim from audiences and critics alike. With a Best Animated Film nomination at the Academy Awards, it even has the potential to win an Oscar, which would make it the second Shrek franchise movie to secure the honor. The movie will be landing on Peacock two days before the Oscars ceremony, leaving just enough time to watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish before it can officially earn Hollywood’s highest honor.
