If you live in Los Angeles and are looking forward to meeting you Puss in Boots: The Last Wishyou are going to send me an email. I’m saying this because Collider is teaming up with Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation for a free early screening next week at the DreamWorks Glendale campus, and we have directors. Joel Crawford as well as Januel Mercado for questions and answers after viewing.
But it gets better.
Unlike our standard screenings, when after questions and answers everyone goes home, our Puss in Boots: The Last Wish The event includes a post-show reception where fans can mingle with the directors and other attendees and enjoy a hot chocolate bar for the kids and cocktails for the adults. This is one of those screenings that we encourage parents to bring their children to.
The show will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday, December 16th.
If you would like to attend our IMAX Special Event, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “I want to see Puss in Boots: Last Wish”. In the body of the email, include your name and the number of people you want to reach. We will contact the winners on the 12th or 13th.
I have seen Puss in Boots sequel is great. As Nate Richard said in our review (with which I agree):
“For a sequel that took over ten years to finally hit the screen, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was arguably the hero DreamWorks Animation needed all along. Like the studio’s previous film Bad guys, the animation style has its own unique style and its own personality. As well as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Last wish combines hand-drawn 2D styles with computer animation with great success. The action is breathtaking and allows directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and the animation team to get creative; it’s like a comic book at times, there’s a scene that feels like a rainbow tribute Crazy Max, and plenty of visual gags that will make older audiences laugh along with younger viewers. The landscapes are magnificent, and there is not a single boring frame in the 100-minute running time of the film.”
He continues:
“The film is surprisingly much more ambitious and mature than you might expect, going beyond the messages you might expect from a typical family film and deciding to delve into the themes of mortality and confronting death. The stakes are really felt and there are moments in the film’s climax that are really tense, while the overall story can be predictable, the places it goes to while telling it almost seem to be aimed at adults or those who have grown up with children. shrek movies, not young fans who weren’t even born when the previous movie hit the big screen.”
If you have questions about screening, please contact on twitter. It’s going to be a really fun night and I hope to see you all on the DreamWorks campus.
Check out the official synopsis here:
For the first time in over a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure set in the Shrek universe, where the daring criminal Puss in Boots finds his passion for danger and disregard for safety has taken their toll. The cat burned eight of his nine lives, although he lost count along the way. The return of these lives will send Puss in Boots on his greatest adventure yet. Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious PB as he embarks on an epic journey to the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with one life left, Puss will have to come to terms and ask for help from his former partner and enemy: the charming Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek). In their quest, Chat and Kitty will be aided—against their common sense—by the ratty, chatty, ruthlessly cheerful mongrel Perro (Harvey Guillen). 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 the terrifying bounty hunter Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura).
