There’s always a staggering question when it comes to movies, especially movies from studios that come from major studios that also have streaming services. is it worth buying the movie when it is going to end up on streaming? Is it worth buying when the bonus features end up on YouTube? Does the 4K/Blu-Ray/DVD provide anything of actual value and worth the space it takes up? All perfectly valid questions and one that has no single right answer. But in the case of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, I believe it is wholeheartedly worth the investment to have this at the ready in your personal home and/or digital library.

Examples of Who Should Own a Copy of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

- The Fun Aunty/Uncle
- As the fun uncle, I can not recommend the “How to Draw” videos enough! It keeps kids focused and engaged, and mostly not on a screen. Also, all that focus tends to tire them out. Plus, there’s artwork you can make their parents hang around the house. Then, to annoy their parents, you have them watch the “Fearless Hero” lyric video. Even if those little scamps can not read, the amount of times they will play the song over and over again will get those words stuck in anyone’s head. As a fun uncle, you get to drop that bomb and watch it go off at a safe distance. It is wildly satisfying.
- Movie Nerd
- If you’re like me and like to know the stories and thoughts of the creatives of the film, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has a very thorough selection of behind-the-scenes content from performers, producers, directors, artists, and more. If you’re a fan of a particular aspect of the film, or maybe looking for inspiration, there is something for everyone and every department. Minus maybe the PA’s.
- Love the Movie, Don’t Want a Peacock Subscription
- That’s self-explanatory.
- Physical/IRL Movie Collectors and Ultra Nerds Who Like Full Feature Commentary
- There is something about owning a physical copy that will always trump a digital copy. Plus the physical copy comes with a digital copy, so it’s the best of both worlds and basically the same price. Plus the only way to access the “Feature Commentary” from Director Joel Crawford, Co-Director Januel Mercado, Producer Mark Swift, Editor James Ryan, and Head of Story Heidi Jo Gilbert is from the physical disc.

Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star on his grandest quest yet. With only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: Kitty Softpaws.
