Rarely has the world of Shrek looked as epic as in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
In addition, they dared to show dark moments and create a villain that gives even adults goosebumps. The film is funny, heartbreaking, creative to the max.
At the end, there is even a moment that serves as a perfect transition to the now confirmed Shrek 5. This was not consciously planned, as the makers admitted in an interview with Screen Rant. But if the genius of The Last Wish can even begin to spill over into the upcoming Shrek film, we can expect golden times in Far, Far Away.
