Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was beyond my expectations. I walked into the cinema with low expectations, and came out completely overwhelmed with this masterpiece. Before I knew it was I was reintroduced to my favourite talking, walking and sword swinging cat portrayed by Antonio Banderas returning as the role after 11 years.

I loved seeing Puss in Boots return for yet another adventure, and thought they might ruin him but that was far from the truth. The Last Wish consistently delivers good jokes for young and old, which results in a fantastic movie, enjoyed by all ages. The movie includes dazzling visuals with both the computer-animated style we saw in previous movies like Shrek as well as more hand-drawn techniques and a brand new painterly style to bring the fairy tale paintings to life. Check out why I loved it so much. It comes out in UK cinemas today.

I am quite pleased about Lyle Lyle Crocodile early Blu-Ray release. I have loved watching it again. In the bonus features, there’s a sing-along version of the songs that is fabulous. I had so much fun interviewing filmmakers Will Speck and Josh Gordon behind Lyle Lyle Crocodile, possibly the best family movie of 2022, based on the children’s story of the same name and its prequel The House on East 88th Street by Bernard Waber. Not only these directors are talented but they are supported by top Hollywood star Javier Bardem as well as the sweetest sing-song writer of the moment Shawn Mendes. I have laughed and giggled throughout the screening.
