The world’s smallest swashbuckler faces the horrible realisation that although cats have nine lives, he has used eight of them. Time to hang up his boots – and sword – according to his doctor; time to join crazy cat lady Mama Luna’s tribe of moggies and play with balls of wool. Of course, that plan was never going to work – especially when roughly-spoken bounty-hunter Goldilocks and her three hulking hard-men bears arrive, looking to take Puss dead or alive. An all-star voice cast joins regulars Antonio Banderas as Puss and Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws, including Ray Winstone and Olivia Colman as Papa and Mama Bear and Florence Pugh as Goldilocks. Harvey Guillen, familiar from TV’s What We Do in the Shadows, plays the therapy dog Puss rescues from the house of cats. Watch the fur fly as Puss claws his way back to his rightful hero status.
