‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ Trailer: Puss is Back in a Brand New Adventure

The first trailer for the new Puss in Boots animated film, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, finds the swashbuckling cat calling on an old frenemy. Apparently, poor Puss isn’t really a math whiz and didn’t realize he’s used up all but one of his lives.

Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas returns as Puss in Boots, aka Stabby Tabby, aka El Macho Gato, aka The Leche Whisperer. Oscar nominee Salma Hayek reprises her voice role as Kitty Soft Paws.

Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), Florence Pugh (Black Widow), John Mulaney (Big Mouth), and Wagner Moura (Narcos) also lend their voices to animated characters. Additional confirmed cast members include Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter), Ray Winstone (Black Widow), Samson Kayo (Sliced), Anthony Mendez (Jane the Virgin), and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Trolls World Tour).

DreamWorks Animation will release Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on December 21, 2022.

The Plot, Courtesy of DreamWorks Animation:

This fall, everyone’s favorite leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns.

For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. 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.

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 Soft Paws (Hayek).

In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided — against their better judgment — by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Guillén). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Pugh) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (Mulaney) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Moura).

Pickleball’s so incredibly popular that it’s about to have its own two-hour special. Stephen Colbert’s Spartina, Funny Or Die, and CBS Studios have committed to Pickled, a special all about the sport that’s expected to air later this year.

“I love hosting The Late Show, but at the end of the day – and I’m specifically talking about the hours between 8 and 10 PM Eastern – I see Pickled as a chance to bring lots of different people together for something playful and unpredictable,” stated Stephen Colbert. “And since the supply chain snarl has delayed delivery of my Margaritaville™ Frozen Drink Machine, I find myself with some free time. I’m honored to be a part of the Pickled family.”

Spartina’s Stephen Colbert, Carrie Byalick, Evelyn McGee Colbert, and Tom Purcell are on board to executive produce along with Funny Or Die’s Mike Farah, Joe Farrell, and Henry R. Muñoz III.

“Funny Or Die is thrilled to partner with our friends at Spartina and CBS Studios on Pickled,” said Mike Farah, CEO of Funny Or Die. “We can’t wait to bring together celebrities from the worlds of comedy, sports and beyond, to play in the highest-stakes and lowest-impact pickleball tournament ever created for television. This idea was inspired by playing pickleball with my mom back in Michigan, and she has LOTS of ideas for this show. Is this an appropriate forum to let Stephen know my mom wants to be showrunner?”

According to CBS, Pickled is a “new comedic, celebrity-packed pickleball tournament.” The network offered this description of the sport and the upcoming special it inspired:

“The buzziest new sport in a generation is a classic American cocktail – mix one part tennis, a splash of badminton, muddle in some ping pong, toss a couple of ibuprofens in there just in case, and add a heaping scoop of passion. Shake vigorously, then pour yourself a tall glass of FUN. In the special, Pickled will curate the best all-star competitive teams to play against each other in the name of charity, and ultimately vie for the coveted totem of excellence: the Golden Gherkin. Additional details about the special and celebrity competitors will be announced at a later date.”
