Did You Notice These 5 Things In Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Whether you are a longtime fan of the Shrek universe or simply drawn in by the irresistible charm of Puss in Boots. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is packed with Easter eggs and subtle details that may have slipped past you on your first watch. Let’s dive into five details you might have missed!

Death is Always Watching

Right off the bat, one of the most surprising details happens during Puss’s fight with the giant. It’s easy to get swept up in this action-packed battle, but if you look closely, did you notice Death lurking in the crowd, watching the entire fight? This is one of those “blink and you miss it” moments that makes you realize Puss’s fate was already sealed. If you go back and rewatch that scene, keep your eyes peeled for that haunting wolf lurking in the background, it’s one of the many ways the film builds anticipation for the final showdown.

Foreshadowing Jack Horner’s Role

While Puss is busy taking down the giant, there’s a quick but important detail that could easily go unnoticed. As Puss crashes through the village, he smashes into a bakery sign, specifically, a “Jack Horner Bakery” sign. At first glance, it might seem like a fun little reference to the nursery rhyme character, but it’s actually, a clever and subtle piece of foreshadowing! As we know, Jack Horner becomes one of the movie’s main antagonists, and this early reference to his bakery gives us a small taste of what’s to come.

Goldilocks’ Hidden Clue to Her True Family

Goldilocks is on a journey of self-discovery throughout the film, torn between her adopted bear family and her longing for her “true” human family. But did you notice the hidden clue? In her favorite fairy tale, the first letter of each line spells out the message she has been searching for about the location of her true family. This little detail reveals that the answer to her quest was always right in front of her, her true family was the one that raised her all along.

Eight Cups at the Bar

During one of the more reflective scenes in the movie, Puss sits in a bar, thinking about his past lives. But here’s the thing, this moment isn’t just about his words. If you pay close attention to the scene, there are exactly eight cups lined up on the bar. Each one representing a life he’s lost. It’s a small detail that shows how serious things are for him now. He already enjoyed those first eight lives, but now he’s on his ninth, and things are getting serious. This scene quietly reminds us of everything that Puss has been through and how much he has risked.

A Wicked Witch Cameo

Did you notice the surprise Shrek cameo? Fans of the Shrek universe were treated to a fun, little Easter egg when the Wicked Witch of the West, from Shrek Forever After made an appearance in the doctor’s waiting room. It’s a subtle nod, but a clever reminder that the Shrek universe is always lurking in the background, even when Puss is off on his own adventure.
