This belated sequel to the very successful 2011 GC-animated Shrek franchise spin-off has the effective premise that Puss has used up eight of his nine lives and, pursued by both Death and bounty hunters, gives up his swashbuckling persona to live incognito as a rescue cat, but with his adversaries hot on his tail he soon sets off on a new set of adventures, meeting up with companions new and old, to search for the famous Wishing Star to restore his lives. The film rattles along furiously with devil-may-care abandon, and it is smartly written with many movie references and plenty of entertaining silliness along the way. Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek make for a great (vocal) double-act, and the depth and detail of the animation impresses, making The Last Wish a watchable and quite entertaining romp.
