Dreamworks learned a vital lesson with Puss in Boots 2 – and we started seeing its influence

The animation was not more at riskFrom the threat of replacing animation from artificial intelligence, to studio unification projects because adult presidents do not care about the means, or direct studios to close all internal products.

The remaining animated studios in production focus all of them on one thing: the privilege. As if the IP insanity is not enough, the large animation studios like Disney, Warner Bros, and Dreamworks are uniquely focused on their IP cultivation, and clearing a complement after complement (with the original story sometimes here and there as a treatment). Of course, this is not an automatic bad thing. Take Dreamworks, who can be said to be the trilogy of the animation (“How to Train your dragon”, “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” are all wonderful), who in 2022, were delivered in 2022 One of the best animated movies in the contract with “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.”

Since then, DreamWorks has made dull follow -ups of successful films, such as “Tells Band totether” and “Kung Fu Panda 4.”. This seems to change with the upcoming “The Bust Guys 2”, which is shown by Dreamworks at the Annecy International Simply Film Festival 2025 to great enthusiasm of the crowd. This seems as if the studio is learning a vital lesson from “Puss in Boots”, and we hope it will be a sign of the things coming in the studio.

Based on the Aaron Balabi books series of the same name, the first “The Bad Guys” was an enjoyable elderly inspired by the seventies, mainly “Ocean’s 11” for children. She had all the distinctive features of a wonderful theft movie, such as an unforgettable crew, a plan that immediately departs from its course, fun and exciting complications, good villain, and even better looting.

For completion, the “wicked 2” is going larger and more bold, but not only in terms of withdrawing another theft. Instead, during the presentation, director Pierre Perville and co -manager JP Sans spoke about how Blambey’s books tackled different types (including science fiction and excitement), so they wanted to do the same and push the story to a new place. This time, it is a less theft and more adventure movie like “Mission: ISSISTRICE”, “James Bond” or “Fast and Furious”. There is a theft, but the specified pieces are larger and more detailed, the scope of the procedure is expanded, and unlike Vin Diesel and Company, the bad guys do not take nine films to go to space.

The fans in Annecy got the entire experience experience mainly, in the form of several clips from 5 to 10 minutes, and it is clear that the film is trying something different from its predecessor. The film begins stealing in the palace of a rich man somewhere in the Middle East, and eventually turns into a battle to prevent the kidnapping of the space ship. It is a wild state of escalation from the first movie, and something “Puss in Boots 2” was great.

What made “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” very well is how different from its predecessor. Compared to other sequences such as “Shrek 2” or “MADAGASCAR 2”, which kept a lot of the appearance of their first films, “The Last Wish” was a brutal exit. The art pattern was more than unproductive and anime inspired. The story, although it was still in the same world of fictional story, was a “foolish racing” race to find a magic being, as well as a death story of deaths and dealing with aging. It was a very personal story for Antonio Banderas, Those who made amazing performance.

naturally, The film continued a great success Oscar candidate. “Auders 2” although it follows the optical template of the first film (even if it pays live cinematic effects with some amazing amazing lenses that are combined with anime pattern similar to anime) she does something similar in the amount of leaving the tone of the first movie. It is recognized for it, all Dreamworks does not have to do this exactly, but it is the principle of trying sequences and exploring something really unique that makes the future of the 30 -year -old studio exciting.
