The cast, featuring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Florence Pugh, and even threw in longtime comedian John Mullany. The cast played their own characters quite well, especially Antonio Banderas when he was playing Puss in Boots.
The storyline in this film was very engaging throughout the movie. The way Puss in Boots was down to his last life after using the last 8, that was a very clever idea from Dreamworks. The incorporation of Puss in Boots’ love life with Kitty Southpaws was a very smart idea as well. During this movie, Dreamworks showed in many different ways teamwork and selflessness. This was an excellent way to keep the viewers engaged in the plot, which was accomplished in no small part by the animation.
Animation in this film was easily one of its greatest feats. The animation in Puss in Boots: The last wish, was one of the best animated movies of all time. Dreamworks put into this movie animation that was one of the most spectacular of its era. The fight scenes in particular were a visual treat. Dreamworks dropped the frame rates so that the fights would give a faster and snappy effect which adds to both the digestibility and the impact of the fights.
