Review: Puss in Boots - The Last Wish swashbuckles in cinemas with a cracking gag-filled script

The Puss has pulled his boots back on and is swashbuckling his way onto a big screen near you for the holidays.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish wraps up a tidy trilogy for Antonio Banderas as Puss and Selma Hayek as SoftPaws.

A decade on from our last brush with Puss, he's back to purr and poke his sword into our hearts and The Last Wish is so worth the wait.

Our furry feline finds he's down to his final life - as they say, death comes to us all, even when you have nine lives to live.

His maths is as bad as his singing, Puss washes up at a cat refuge and grows the beard to prove it.

His fear of dying turns him into Wuss in Boots. And he will need to face that fear and more than a few home truths with the help of old friends and new to be re-born a legend.

As a self-confessed crazy cat lady, Puss purred his way into my cinematic affections long ago and I just loved him jumping back onto my lap again.

Insanely animated, with a cracking gag-filled script perfect for young and old, this is a fabulous five-star watch to finish the year.
