Over the course of more than two decades, a long-running franchise that has produced five feature-length blockbusters, a six-season TV series, two standalone specials, a stage musical, 13 video games, and five theme park attractions will eventually face a decline. However, last year’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish hinted that there might still be untapped potential in the expansive Shrek saga.
Considering that nobody was really clamoring for another movie, and the cultural relevance of DreamWorks’ fantasy franchise had diminished since the feisty feline first graced the big screen eleven years prior, many anticipated disappointment in Antonio Banderas’ second solo adventure.
However, not only did The Last Wish surpass expectations by grossing $485 million at the box office, but it also became the highest-rated installment in the entire Shrek franchise. It achieved a Certified Fresh approval rating of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 94 percent user average and an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature.
This impressive accomplishment was unexpected, as the initial spin-off was a solid yet unremarkable family-friendly adventure that didn’t push its creative or storytelling boundaries. On the other hand, The Last Wish was nothing short of exceptional, and it has now conquered Netflix as well.
According to FlixPatrol, within just 24 hours of being added to the library in the United States, the brave hero has become the most-viewed film in the country, further solidifying its success.
