Eleven years after his swashbuckling solo adventure, the orange tabby voiced by Antonio Banderas returns in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, a lively sequel with an earnest message as comforting as warm milk.

If you’re unfamiliar with Puss, who debuted in the Shrek films of the 1990s, no matter. Composer Heitor Pereira and Antonio Banderas cover all you need to know about Puss in the opening moments through a zingy musical number about this furry outlaw in the vein of Robin Hood.
