Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has quickly become the hit of 2022. The DreamWorks animated feature is a sequel to the 2011 Shrek spin-off film Puss in Boots and has been on everyone’s lips. Between the beautiful animation, the nostalgia, and the perfect blend of humor for both adults and kids, we now all need to know how to watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish about?

In Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Puss (Antonio Banderas) discovers that his madcap adventures through the years have managed to see him burning through eight of his nine lives. In an effort to earn those lives back, Puss has to set out on yet another adventure into the Black Forest to find the Wishing Star, where he can make a wish to restore his lives. If he has any hope in succeeding, however, he needs help from his former partner, Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek) and a giddy and hopelessly positive new friend, rakish mutt Perro (Harvey Guillén), especially once Golidlocks (Florence Pugh) and the Three Bears crime family get involved.

Is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on Netflix?

At the moment, no. While this would be one of the simplest ways to watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, it is not currently streaming on Netflix. Other Puss-themed movies and shows from DreamWorks Animation are, however, available on the streaming platform, including six seasons of The Adventures of Puss in Boots as well as Netflix’s interactive children’s series Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is up for an Oscar.

Critics loved Puss in Boots: The Last Wish for its humor, inventive style of hybrid animation, and ability to stay true to the original franchise while still feeling fresh and new. Fans loved it too, apparently. The movie has raked in more than $400 million at the box office since opening in December, and of course that most coveted of all prizes: an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. Clearly Puss still knows how to turn on that charm.
