Audiophiles rejoice! The new Puss in Boots: The Last Wish teaser features Puss performing ASMR with purrfect gusto. In the teaser, Puss (Antonio Banderas) snuggles up to a finely-leveled microphone, presenting a collection of soothing sounds for everyone to enjoy. After speaking into the mic for a soft and sultry introduction, Puss brushes his boots with a course black brush. Following his fancy footwork, Puss laps at a shot glass filled with delicious, calcium-rich milk. From there, he purrs into the microphone with unbridled enthusiasm. Finally, he unsheaths his sword and begins tapping the metal with his sharpened claws. Unfortunately, Puss’ session for sensory overload gets cut short when Perro (Harvey Guillen) interrupts the experience. Chaos ensues, and Puss needs to re-record and reconsider his friendship with a dim-witted dog.
With a fresh new animation style, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish finds Puss discovering that he’s used up eight of his nine lives. With just one life left, Puss decides to settle down as a regular cat and even finds a home with Mama Luna (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), who renames him Pickles. But it doesn’t take long for Puss’ enemies to track him down and he’s forced to team up with Perro, a cheerful therapy dog, and his former partner and nemesis, Kitty Softpaws.
The animated sequel stars Antonio Banderas (Uncharted) as Puss in Boots, Salma Hayek (Eternals) as Kitty Softpaws, and Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows) as their canine companion Perro. The long-delayed feline frenzy has also added some new talent to the animated sequel with Florence Pugh (Midsommar, Black Widow), Olivia Colman (The Favourite), John Mulaney (Big Mouth), Da ‘Vine Joy Randolph (The Lost City), Anthony Mendez (Jane the Virgin), and Samson Kayo (Our Flag Means Death) joining the cast.
The official synopsis for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish:
For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet. Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious PiB as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek). In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Florence Pugh) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (John Mulaney) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura).
