Every ‘Shrek’ Reference in ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’

Major spoiler warning for “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.” Turn back if you haven’t already watched!Early in the movie, after Puss in Boots (once again voiced by Antonio Banderas) is killed after a giant bell crushes him, he goes to visit a doctor, who tells him that he’s reached the end of his nine lives.

This triggers an ingenious (and macabre) series of flashbacks to Puss’ various deaths. One of these deaths involves himself and the Gingerbread Man from the “Shrek” movies cooking something in a giant oven.

They open the oven and flames escape, presumably burning them both to death. We have to imagine the Gingerbread Man is an equally resilient fellow.After Puss gets the evaluation from his doctor, he leaves the room and passes by several people in the waiting room.

Among them is The Wicked Witch who has been seen in several “Shrek” installments. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo, but still connects the world of Puss to the larger “Shrek” universe.The main stars of the “Shrek” universe, Shrek and Donkey, are seen briefly during a sequence where Puss looks back on his life.
