pin cuz first?

I don't think that Jack Horner was just there for laughs or as a traditional bad villain only, he is also a continuation of the theme of not appreciating what you have can cause you to have resentment and jealousy of others. Purreto, although he dose not have a loving family or a home still appreciates the little things that he has while Jack Horner doesn't appreciate any of what he has oral he has plenty.

The Goldilocks part particularly made me tear up. Like the lyric “if you love me let me go”, Mama bear doing exactly that when understanding Goldi’s motives. I think that was one of the hardest hitting parts, absolutely crushing, yet she pushed on to see it happen. The ending wrapping it all up was like a breath after surfacing from deep water, relief, and the oh so wholesome and beautiful outcome. I really liked the dynamic showing how much the bears, especially mama bear, love Goldi as a their own child. It was more than being accepted but, accepting back on Goldi’s part. Some people will spend a lifetime blind to the riches that lay infront of them. Mix that with the Puss and Softpaws love arc, dang it got me a touch melty. All these wishes granted without even needing to rely on the star.

The characterisation, emotion and writing in the Puss in Boots spinoff has really improved in this sequel.

I think one of the aspects of Jack Horner that should've been touched on is the fact that unlike the other characters who decided to give up the wish and instead learning that what they have is more than enough, Jack had everything he needed, and decided to throw it away because he was jealous and greedy, Jack threw away family, friends, wealth, and eventually his life, things that the other characters were looking for.

I definitely think there's something to Perrito and Jack as opposites. If you think about it most of the characters are antiheroes that are to caught up in their own emotional issues to deal with the actual villain that's an existential threat to them all. Without magic all the talking animal characters lose their sentience, Goldie becomes an orphan, and even Death wouldn't get to be a hunky wolf anymore. Perrito is the only true hero that selflessly helps everyone else until they complete their character arcs and all team up to stop Jack.

I agree that Death is my favorite antagonist of the movie, but I feel like Jack's one dimensional nature is absolutely... nessecary, I guess? He doesn't need to be overly complicated with goldilocks and Death running about, and he serves s the ultimate physical force of the movie, so engorged with evil he is beyond redemption. So evil he's funny, and something to fall back to when it comes to progressing the narrative, and who the antagonist is. I loved him in the movie due to that, in a movie full of extesentialism and themes of belonging, family and what matters in life hes just unapologetically unaffected by that. A force of nature in himself that we can shake our fists to, and as you said, a breath of fresh air from the mood that prevails this film otherwise. Also he has his own thematic revelance given his blatant disregard of life, not in that he wastes his own but wastes the lives of others.

I’ll say as well, Puss in Boots 2 is thematically similar to Shrek four with its focus on appreciating the life you have. Forever After was a good film to wrap the main Shrek films and The Last Wish is the bow that ties the Shrek franchise all together.

been on a puss in boots analysis binge and i came across this video, you deserve a whole lot more attention and i hope to see this channel grow! keep it up!

Perrito was literally complicit in theft and operation of a stolen marine vessel and people call him "morally flawless" and "innocent" smh

Jack and Joker are similar though. The important thing with Jack is that there is no sympathy for him. Some people are just bad, and have no want or desire to be a better person. They simply want for their own and will harm anyone and anything to get what they want with no care and perhaps taking enjoyment in the suffering of others.

Bro The entire movie is practically perfect

One thing I do also find important to note is, 2 of the 3 villain groups don't feel like the villain to Puss or Kitty, but Perrito. Death obviously is only out for Puss, but Goldilocks and Perrito both being orphan's links her connection to the story right back to Perrito who never had any family. And Jack having all in live he could ask for and turning evil is a direct contrast to Perrito not having anything and still choosing to be happy with what little he has. We are experiencing the story through Puss' eyes, but the adventure, as the map mostly revolving over Perrito's path, is about Perrito. It is his story on how he gains the trust of Kitty, helps support Puss with his mortality fears and help Goldi accept the family she has, not wish for one she hasn't

It all comes back full circle.

This is exactly what I thought. You worded it so well. How the hell do you only have 20 subs (now 21!)? You are too underrated

Nice review! Thanks! I also like the ending because all the characters who had been competing against each other, came together and collaborated to do the right thing. That gave me goosebumps.

Loved the film. Perrito became Puss's Donkey aka annoying new friend. Goldi and the 3 bears as a family unit, and something badass about Death himself.

I can't get enough of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish videos, always happy to see people praise it. One more thing I would like to add is that many people think of Death as a character who was there solely to reform Puss, with good intentions and all that. I don't agree with that interpretation. In the last scene you can see Death cursing at himself for playing with his food, which directly confirms the fact that Death didn't have any good intentions to begin with. He was merely entertaining himself before takin Puss's last life in an act that he also admitted was "cheating". He was more of an involuntary catalyst for Puss's positive change in character. He could've very well become a villain if the plot took a different, more tragic route.

nothing i like more than enjoying a movie and always finding connections to real life instances and emotions that could be felt day to day. When i grew older and rewatched alll my childhood movies, i realized how crucial the lessons they taught were. I also enjoyed relating them to what i learned from philosophers. Who would’ve thought that we would be relating Puss (didnt have to say it 27 times) to socrates for instance who also didn’t fear death as well Hahaha good stuff man keep it up

I think it’s simply perfect, amazing video❤❤

Omg the sacrilege Jack Horner is just the best the goat the absolute prime specimen

this is so good

I just watched this movie for a 5th time, lol. It’s my new favorite movie of all time.

the editing in this video is really good, i thought you were a channel with atleast 100,000 subscribers

It think i'm the only one that liked Puss in Boots 1. I really liked the Spanish theme so it's kinda sad to see it end here. Let's hope there are more animation movies like this coming

to add on to the ending... it even do a great job in teasing on what may be coming... so audiences are left gasping for more to come after the movie...

True, Jack isn't as good of a villian as people like Vader, Thanos, and Joker. The beauty of his character is his simplicity, he is the opposite of the movie's message, but ultamatly he is just an entertaining character that you love to hate, so all the heroes can come together at the end and defeat him.

All stories were about appreciating what you have. They just explored different aspects of it. Jack refused to, while perito managed it right from the go

The one thing I think may lead to something powerful in the upcoming Shrek movie is that I believe that death cut the rope to that bell that fell on Puss. I think he did this to lead up to their final confrontation. What I think could happen in Shrek 5 is that something causes Shrek to "die" and Puss makes the ultimate sacrifice to bring him back. Whether death takes him up on that offer could be the key to the movie's success.

I barely understand your accent but it sounds cool so I'm watching xD

If they ever decide to expand on this I am hoping they dive more into Kitty's character. Next to Perrito's her backstory is probably the most tragic, but unlike Perrito it's part of the reason she has trust issues, she's also lived a life long before meeting Puss which causes me to wonder if there is a deeper motivation behind her not showing up at Santa-Coloma for a reason other than Puss being so arrogant and self-absorbed.

the comparison between Jack and perrito was spot on, it's not the hand you were dealt that decides what kind of person you become

My friend raised a point when we watched it together that the ending _could_ have been improved. She said that because the wish represents an "unattainable ideal", they should never have reached the star in the first place, or even have known it was real. She said it was unnecessary for them to actually confirm the existence of the wish or the star in order for them to complete their arcs; they could have realized that they had already gotten their wishes and decided to go home, as the wish no longer matters at that point. However, I did not fully agree, as reaching the star (not only made for a beautifully animated sequence but also) served to demonstrate exactly what and how much they were willing to sacrifice in order to go back to their old lives without the wish and embrace what they had. They had to get a real chance at the wish to PROVE (to show, not tell) that they really didn't feel they needed it. I do think my friend had a valid point, but taking into account the medium (in a live action movie, the ending would have been hard to pull off without a big budget; in animation anything is possible so its a good call to take advantage of any opportunities for showing off that magic) and the target audience (children have less patience for "the treasure was the friends we made along the way lets forget about the magical glowy thing and pack up and go home; because kids see things more objectively and can have difficulty understanding the underlying themes and nuance if it isn't demonstrated to them).

I also like to think that Puss isn't just afraid of Death, but also fears that he has wasted his life and that it might all come to an end before he finds meaning in it.

I can't believe I cried because an animated cat

7:43 they killed puss with a bell at the start of the movie and showed all of his deaths onscreen.

I'm pretty sure Puss got the wish because it started with Puss saying "starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight" which could be him making his wish.

L for watching the movie in your couch and not cinemas good vid tho

7:50 "I mean we can't kill Puss in a kid's movie." Uh, they showed him die 8 times already OvO; Honestly death taking him one more time seemed fair if Pus could not find a way to best/ convince him otherwise. And the movie did GREAT in finding the perfect way to best him.

I find interesting that most of the characters got what they wanted. that's one hell of a wish. Puss, Goldilocks, Kitty, Death and Perrito got their wish granted in one way or another. I can't say anything about Jack Horner since I haven't seen the full movie but the rest get what they truly want.

It’s basically new adventures and new beginnings

Not often do you see a flawless execution of a full length feature film, especially animated. They come along, once in a decade or two, but this was the shocker of the last decade. I'm naturally a rewatcher. I'd rather rewatch a movie I like instead of looking for something new to watch. And, every once in a while, I'll watch something new, either because it's interesting, I've heard good things about it, or it's something that I've been looking forward to for a while. This flew under the radar, I legitimately didn't know about it until a few weeks ago. Bought it, watched it, loved it, and, this might be a bit silly or even embarrassing, I've watched it more times than some movies I've owned for a decade or more. I need an intervention. 😂

gorgeous

My favorite part of the video is when he said puss

The ending scene of them travelling to Far Far Away to "see some old friends" literally confirms that Dreamworks are bringing a Shrek 5 to the table. So looking forward to that!

Lost opportunity to say "purrfect" instead

because the rest is perfect

it’s the whole shrek reference at the end for me🥹🤌🏻✨ like that made me curious af

I curious what Joker forget among the villains with good motivations

One thing that has me pondering: Since Puss regains all organs, bones and etc whenever he dies... has Kitty never died?

Had the wish been destroyed before the showdown between Puss and Death occurred would've truly been much more than just a perfect ending imo

7:24 exactly Jack Horner needed to be pure evil, with many antagonists trying to be redeemable, it’s a too many stories at once. It’s not a tv show, a movie only needs its plot, doesn’t really need a B plot, but the B plot here was Goldilocks, and the main antagonist being Death itself, so we needed a one dimensional pure evil character, to simply just hate and laugh at

that puss counter was ultimately unnecessary, its a cringe but you put efforts to it. so respect

litter mates, not owners

Obviously one dimensional villains isn't good, but how you said, being it a breath of fresh air is what makes him good in this movie. Plus, he is not the antagonism of the story, Death is, which that's why he being a one dimensional villain doesn't hurt the story, he is not the driving antagonist force, he's there just to fulfill the role of a true villain in the story in standard storytelling, since Death isn't.

Oh tell the dog it's a kids movie

He said puss 27 times.

He said puss 27 times

"Kids Movie" Oh god, if I hear one more person who thinks animation is for kids I will tick.

Didn't explain perrito, didn't have to

DEATH IS *NOT* A VILLAIN.

you mean... purrrfect endng

It's not a kids movie just because the thing is animated ffs 😂

are you Egyptian, bro!!

ay im rhw 234th like

Ze ending wass peffect. Ze cat didn't fear death, so the cat, who hates mondays, became immortal. TAKE THAT DEATH. See kids? All you have to do is be a trash person your whole life and not fear death - he will leave you alone. Who cares what other's think of you, just be a trash person! - Of course Goldilock and the bears had a good development. They are the best written characters.

this movie is overrated (but stll really good)
