The Oscar-nominated and Annie Award-winning 3DCG animated comedy adventure, a follow-up to the studio’s 2011 hit, ‘Puss in Boots,’ hits the streamer exclusively on March 10.
The infamous leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns! DreamWorks Animation’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will stream exclusively on Peacock starting March 10. Directed by Joel Crawford and produced by Mark Swift, the Academy Award-nominated 3DCG animated comedy adventure feature follows daring outlaw Puss in Boots when he discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll.
In the film, 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. Academy Award nominee 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 Softpaws (Oscar nominee Salma Hayek Pinault). In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perrito (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, the trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldi (Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Little Women) and the Three Bears Crime Family, Jack Horner (Emmy winner John Mulaney, Kid Gorgeous at Radio City) and terrifying bounty hunter, the big, bad Wolf (Wagner Moura, Narcos).
