"The saga of Shrek, like so many others that go beyond what is necessary, was from the most to the least, although its first (and only) spin-off, Puss In Boots, had a good performance. That was in 2011, however. The franchise, one of the most popular of DreamWorks, remained inactive until the release of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, and what a return! This movie brings back the elements that worked in the franchise - Antonio Banderas as Puss, Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws and parodies of fairy tales - to tell an adventure that delights children, but with its own existential baggage even for the older ones. The animation style, reminiscent of what Sony did for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is simply spectacular, like an animated storybook, and undoubtedly deserves to be seen on the big screen.
