Common questions
Should I watch the 2011 Puss in Boots before Puss in Boots: The Last Wish?
Watching the 2011 Puss in Boots movie provides context for the character, but Puss in Boots: The Last Wish functions as an independent epic journey. You can watch the 2022 film on its own to follow Puss as he searches for the mythical Last Wish to restore his nine lives.
What order should I watch the Puss in Boots movies in?
The recommended viewing order begins with the 2011 Puss in Boots movie and the 2012 short Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos. Following these, you should watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which depicts Puss down to his final life as he seeks to restore his nine lives.
Is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish a direct sequel to Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos?
While Puss in Boots: The Last Wish features the same protagonist, it is a standalone story focused on Puss discovering he has burned through eight of his nine lives. It is not a direct plot continuation of the 2012 short film Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos.
