History Trivia / PussInBootsTheLastWish

* SleeperHit: It made $12.4 million in its opening weekend, but thanks to word of mouth, it made back more than its budget in less of three weeks. In fact, it made more on its ''fourth'' weekend than its first. By January 2023, the film grossed out over '''$200 million''' at the worldwide box office.

** [[https://twitter.com/ZacDRetz/status/1613247978902556673?s=20&t=6yieHo34ltIixj3yF2c-Fg At one point during the concept art phase]] Goldilocks was meant to have come from the Black Forest and have been affected in some way by the star's magic.

** There was a moment in the Black Forest in which Puss, Kitty and Perrito would hunker down for the night in a safe hollow log, where they would strenghten their bond and breathe before the next action scene. In the final film, their bonding instead happens while they navigate through the River of Relaxation, and the travel to the Wishing Star is shorter, as they do not stop to camp. Another cut location was a bramble forest of giant and rambling thorns, roots and vines, which would help to keep the characters from venturing out deeper into the forest.

** Puss was supposed to fight against two giants in Del Mar, but the creative team believed one was sufficient. The Sleeping Giant was also supposed to be more magical in nature, but this was ditched for more earthly and mountainous characteristics like rock and moss in order to avoid any confusion with the magic of the Wishing Star.

* DuelingDubs:
** Within a month of its release, the film had been dubbed into Persian nine times.
** Two Russian dubs of the film were made: one was made by Bravo Records in Georgia for release in post-Soviet states (except Russia and Belarus), while another one is a unofficial dub made by Red Head Sound for release in Russia and Belarus.

* CharacterOutlivesActor: Creator/JesusBarrero, the Latin American Spanish voice for Gingy, was diagnosed with lung cancer in March 2015 and subsequently passed away from complications caused by it on February 17, 2016. Thus, Gingy has been recast with Barrero's nephew Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis.

* TheOtherDarrin: In the Italian dub, Puss is voiced by Diego Suarez instead of having Creator/AntonioBanderas [[MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor voicing him in Italian]] as it happened since ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''.

* ProductionPosse: ''WesternAnimation/TheCroodsANewAge'' director Joel Crawford, producer Mark Swift, and writer Paul Fisher reunite for this film.

* PlayingAgainstType: Jack Horner marks Creator/JohnMulaney's first villainous role, when all of the characters he played prior to this film were protagonists.

* DescendedCreator: Kevin [=McCann=], a storyboard artist at DreamWorks Animation, voices the Ethical Bug.

* DuelingMovies: With WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio, both being animated family films based on fairy tales released around the same time that deal with themes of death and mortality. Pinocchio has a cameo in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and a Jiminy Cricket-type character accompanies Jack Horner. Incidentally, both were also nominated for the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Animated Picture.

* RefittedForSequel: The first film was originally going to have Puss fight against a regular giant rather than the Giant Goose in the final version. ''The Last Wish'' reuses this for the fight against the Giant of Del Mar, complete with similar actions such as Puss stabbing the Giant in the finger, Puss blinding the Giant with their own eye patch, and the Giant using a hard object as a weapon (the base of a statue for the deleted one, a bell for the Giant of Del Mar) before being done in by it.

* {{Jossed}}:
** When the first trailer hit, many had assumed that the film would be a prequel like the first ''Puss in Boots'' was, and thus, Puss was SavedByCanon by default. The film wasn't even released before later trailers revealed this actually took place after ''Forever After'', thus giving the concept a lot more weight than if it had been a prequel.
** With the first movie being a prequel to the ''Shrek'' movies, many wondered about the fate of Kitty Softpaws, with fans commonly theorizing that her absence was linked to both her and Puss having CommitmentIssues due to their free-spirited and adventerous personalities, possibly having an [[RelationshipRevolvingDoor on-again, off-again relationship whenever their paths crossed]], which the ending of the first movie implied. [[spoiler: While it turns out that commitment issues did factor in, many were surprised to learn that Puss and Kitty were actually planning to ''get married'' and [[WhatTheHellHero that Puss left her at the altar]], leaving them on frosty terms and it's implied that Puss hasn't spoken to her since that day, out of shame and guilt.]]

** Early in development, the film would have been titled ''Puss in Boots: 9 Lives and 40 Thieves'', most likely with intent to incorporate elements from the ''Literature/ArabianNights'' stories.
