As this painful realization that his demise will be permanent dawns on him, The Wolf picks up the scent of the blood and gets eerily excited to dispatch the cat, dragging his twin sickles across the floor as sparks fly in a shot that looks straight out of a horror film.
The fight concludes when The Wolf scratches Puss's forehead, and a stream of blood (yes, blood, in a PG animated film) drips down his face. The two have a duel, but it's one that Puss is losing the entire time, with The Wolf somehow calculating and predicting every single move he makes. The menacing figure claims to be a fan, but when he asks Puss to sign a wanted poster specifically where it says "DEAD," it's clear that he's got something else in mind.īelieving this is just another bounty hunter trying to collect a reward on him, Puss triumphantly draws his sword, only to have it immediately swatted away by The Wolf. The source of that whistle is coming from a mysterious hooded figure, who appears seemingly out of nowhere and sits right next to Puss. That attempt to deflect the serious news is suddenly interrupted by a sinister, melodic whistle. Puss isn't bothered by this though, as he goes down to his favorite bar to relax and drink some milk to avoid his problems. Puss first meets The Wolf after being told by the town veterinarian that he is down to his ninth life, meaning if he dies again, there's no coming back. The variety of the antagonistic forces is also a big plus, with the sympathetic Goldilocks ( Florence Pugh) and her crime family of the Three Bears, the power-mad and irredeemable Big Jack Horner ( John Mulaney), and one final main villain who completely steals the show. The acclaimed studio's hit Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is already worthy of being called a modern animated masterpiece for its gorgeous art style, hysterical sense of humor, and surprisingly mature themes on mortality, but the foes that Puss ( Antonio Banderas) and his friends face pushes the sequel into a whole other tier altogether. There are of course examples from their other films as well, like the complex Ramesses ( Ralph Fiennes) from The Prince of Egypt and the deranged Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. Editor's Note: The following article contains spoilers for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.DreamWorks Animation has delivered no shortage of fantastic villains over its decades-long career, particularly from the Shrek franchise with Lord Farquard ( John Lithgow), the Fairy Godmother ( Jennifer Saunders), and Rumpelstiltskin ( Walt Dohrn).
