Puss in Boots: The Last Wish TRIVIA

• 
  

With families and children still having a great time with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, here are some fun little tidbits about the movie for you to enjoy!!!

• The film employs a stylized animation similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and The Bad Guys (2022). The filmmakers decided to move away from the realistic animation style employed in Shrek (2001) and Puss in Boots (2011) in favor of a more creative, larger-than-life style to showcase Puss in Boots' adventure.

• Goldilocks has details that reflect her being raised by the Three Bears: her hairdo resembles bear ears, she has two different earrings just like her mother, she has blue eyes and a necklace like her brother, and gains two scars at her left eyebrow that matches her father's missing left eye.

• The filmmakers cite the Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) as an influence on the film: "They're all after the ultimate fairytale prize. Everybody feels they have to have the wish, which really just leads to a great kind of action adventure with great momentum."

• The Ethical Bug that accompanies Jack Horner is based on the Talking Cricket from the Pinocchio fairytale. Pinocchio got two adaptations in the same year as this film, Pinocchio (2022) and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022).

• The film was released eleven years after Puss in Boots (2011), exceeding the seven and a half-year gap between The Croods (2013) and The Croods: A New Age (2020).

• While wanting the film to retain the adult humor from previous entries, Crawford (director) also wanted the film to have a darker tone, with Puss' mortality and fear of death being the film's main focus. Swift (Mark Swift producer) felt the Shrek franchise being over 20 years old by the time the project entered production allowed the film to explore darker themes than its predecessors.

• As part of their 18-month deal with Netflix, the film will stream on Peacock for the first four months of the pay-TV window, then move to Netflix for the next ten, and then will return to Peacock for the remaining four.

• As of January 22, 2023, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has grossed $126.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $171 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $297.5 million.
