Universal City, CA – February 16, 2023 – After a decade-long wait, DreamWorks Animation presents an all-new adventure in the Shrek universe with “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” Collector’s Edition available on Digital February 21st and on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD February 28th from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Everyone’s favorite leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline, Puss in Boots, returns in a new adventure from the Shrek universe as the daring outlaw discovers that his passion for adventure and heroic missions 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 into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star on his grandest quest yet. With only one life left, Puss is forced to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: Kitty Softpaws. They are joined in their journey by a chatty and cheerful mutt, Perrito. Together, our trio of heroes will need to stay one step ahead of the fairy tale realm’s craftiest crooks including Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
