I genuinely think The Last Wish is one of the best looking films I've ever seen, and I loved seeing how it all finally came together in the "lighting" section as this really emphasised the lengths they went to make this style work. And also, again, I want to extend another massive thank you to both Mark Edwards and everyone at Dreamworks for helping me put this video together ❤- I've honestly been working on this video for a very very long time now and all of their help was so invaluable to getting it finished 🦾
I love that the Shrek franchise started out breaking the boundaries for realistic 3D animation. And now they are breaking the boundaries of stylist 3D animation
You can see how Dreamworks was building up to this film as if you look at their previous works like "The Bad Guys" you can see them experimenting with stuff like this. Video games however have done this more stylized look for decades. Games like Okami, Ori and the Blind Forest, Rayman Origins/Legends, Hi-Fi Rush, and Ark System Works games have all tried to do and succeeded in bringing the 2D style to 3D different ways. As for films I could mention anything Studio orange related. They are the ones who did Land of the Lustrous, Beastars, and Trigun Stampede. All of those are 3D shows trying to imitate the look of 2D. Arcane is another show doing something similar too. Disney's "The Paperman" short is another brilliant one too meant to look like 2D
I was going to mention "Bad Guys" because i remember vividly that it came BEFORE "Puss in Boots". But yeah, many did a great job incorporating 3D to look like 2D. Another honorable mention also would be "Nimona", but was launched after "Puss in Boots"
@ they didn’t do any 3D on top. They lit the 2D characters like they were 3D using special tools. The movie is still mostly traditionally animated just with some really good digital compositing using a modified version of Blender. Some objects, like vehicles, were 3D
Claus was a mixture of 2D and 3D animation FYI. It’s still incredibly and the way they used shading and rendering in the 2D characters to make them look 3D was incredible but it wasn’t all 2D.
The last wish was not the first to do the hand-painted look. There was at least Entergalactic, Into the spider-verse, Arcane, maybe Klaus and arguably even Paperman all the way back in 2012.
He said not the first but the first that did it remarkably good:) into the Spider verse also had an amazing switch in styles through the verses loved it!
@@pinselmaiyeah. To me it was night and day: it was so well crafted even compared to Spiderman. Spiderman had the aidacity to do something different, but it was too muddle-headed: skipping frames, Randomly placed wow effects where you didn't need it. Puss in boost was on the other hand perfect also on the plot side (Spiderman then had music based on Nolan's rule: the louder they are, the better it is even if they don't tell anything... And it's a shame because we're talking about Pemberton... With the sequel they had even made a mistake in publishing them...). It was like seeing the first Avatar compared to other big CGI production at the time. Arcane had the first episodes with mediocre animation and the others with a better animation, but still nothing impressive. And then came the Wild Robot... Man, was impressive in the cinema: I almost didn't blink. And the music.... Wow.
Spider-Verse has been using these same techniques in their films with their approach to adapting a vitage comic book aesthetic to make their worlds feel like a comic book come to life.
Spider verse did not use a point cloud scattered on the surface to deform the 3D meshes in order to make them look painterly, what are you talking about? People see 3D that looks like traditional and conflate everything into "spider verse" like… Can we like stop saying Mutant Mayhem and Arcane and Puss in boots are similar in style? They look nothing alike and nothing like spider-verse comic-book mimicry, if you are paying attention to details.
@@jobigoud Hello! You're absolutely correct. The creators behind the Spider-Verse movies didn't approach their projects in the exact same way as other media (Mutant Mayhem, Arcane, and Puss in boots) in order to achieve their aesthetic. I see you're a fellow animator! I should have been more clear with my comment, my apologies. I'm an animator with a BFA in animation and Illustration, and am currently working as a video production teacher, and I'm a stickler for details and not conflating clearly different art styles, which I see you are as well, so I'll take the time to clarify what I meant to say. What I should have said is that Spider-verse was among the first pieces of media to deviate from the aesthetic and techniques that so many 3D animated works (such as Shrek, Tangled, Moana, How To Train Your Dragon, etc.) have replicated countless times. With the exception of the stylization of their character models, 3D animated films were usually inclined toward photorealism in their lighting, motion blur, VFX, lens blur, etc. Spider-verse, however, decided to break the mold of photorealism and wanted their films to look handcrafted, as if a comic book had come to life. 3D animated works are so often pristine and polished, and the Spider-Verse team made descisions (such as the outline of the irises, or the out of focus environments) that emulated errors and limitations in art, lending more credence to their desire for the films to look hand crafted. Different shaders that utilized hatching and Ben-Day dots to interpret light and shadow, machine learning algorithms to add dynamic lines on the models when they moved or emoted, blobs and streaks to emulate busy streets in the distance, separating the RGB channels for things out of focus, adding in smear frames instead of utilizing motion blur etc. They helped pioneer this growing shift in 3D animated works that favor a handcrafted look as opposed to a perfectly polished finished result. Puss in Boots The Last Wish, Arcane, TMNT Mutant Meyhem all utilized varying techniques and tools to acheive their intended aesthetic, I only meant to highlight that Spider-Verse helped start this shift.
@jobigoud fully agree! Instead of shader tweaks (like the other examples), PiB used materials that resembled the oil painted look as closely as possible. Arcane, Spider-verse and PiB all look great in their own right. As a 3D professional myself, it's easier to see the amount of innovation that went into this truly unique look, and when I saw the movie, it was evident that the artists elevated the genre as an art form.
I bought the dvd of this movie only because of the beautiful painterly art all through. Also spiderverse 1 and 2 for the same reason. Thank you artists for the work you put into these movies.
This is my favorite look for any animated movie ever. My favorite location is the Wishing Star. This is by far my favorite version of the "2D in 3D" look you see a lot these days. And when they brought it back in The Wild Robot (without the 2D part), it was just as beautiful.
And people still dislike this new animation from Puss in Boots: The Last wish. It is so weird people complaining about this. For me personally, Dreamworks literally made amazing animations & CGI's. Hands down.
"first to do so" lmao what movie came before this that sparked massive interest of having heavily stylized movies? oh yeah.. Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse
I had to scroll really far down to see a mention of Spiderverse. Yeah, the styles are different (comic vs hand paint), but it's extremely frustrating that a channel focused on CGI doesn't give credit to those artists. They are both groundbreaking achievements in animation.. butTLW is not the first and it's an insult to the artists of Spiderverse to not even give a passing mention to them. Combined with the BetterHelp sponsorship, yeah, this channel is not worth watching anymore.
Love this channel and the work you do, I watch every video! Just a word of advice: Never take another betterhelp sponsorship. If you don't know why, do some research on the company, their controversy in the past and why it's dodgy to promote such a company to people seeking metal health advice, councelling, therapy, etc... Cheers for the video though :) And yeah, this movie was extraordinary.
A lot of this reminds me of how they crafted Arcane and Spiderverse. I really enjoy the feel of animation nowadays, it feels like it's heading in a different direction not just with the art style but with writing as well.
As an ex Vfx supervisor, the level of artistic clarity this team achieved without getting ruined by studio politics and design by committee BS is really incredible. Truly a milestone piece of film and goes on my favorites list!
It looks stunning ! Although even better job was done with ,,Chłopi,, movie - It was prerecorded with actors and real camera and then almost almost all frames were hand painted. The effect is AMAZING
Though a newer release, I’d say a film that has visuals equally gorgeous to this one is _The Wild Robot._ It has so many beautiful, sweeping shots, comprised of the most meticulously crafted artistic interpretations of nature that I couldn’t possibly point out any specific one as my favorite; every moment is a treat for the eyes. So for those who enjoy visually stunning films, I highly recommend going to check it out!
I remember going to see the movie not really expecting anything, Shrek is one of my facorite franchises, I absolutely love it's parodic universe. I truly wasn't expecting to have my mind blown like that. Not only the art style was quite unique and is probably the best looking painting feeling I've seen, "ending" what Arcane and The Spiderverse started, but the scenes were so damn dynamic, it's crazy. The fight with the giant is pure bliss, somehow it's even more hype than snk's titan fight scenes, sames goes for the fight with Death. And Jack Horner was such a great villain too. They handled everything perfectly, truly one of my favorite animated movies, if not the favorite.
Don’t forget about the purposefully controlled fps, almost all modern cgi uses 60+ fps to again make it look as real as possible but as an anime lover I think the 24 or less frames while sprinkling in some higher fps for some scenes just works so well
Two films come to mind for bringing the 3D animation forward. Wall-E for its great and completely new (at the time) camerawork and Into the Spiderverse for its comic book look.
Well that's because Puss in boots 2 isn't in the same style of them therefore doesn't correlate with this video. Yea the framerates can match but it's not the same.

Hey can you start putting sources in any corner when showing a certain media? I think this is a big differentiator between amateur and proffessional video essayists and I want you to succeed ever since I subscribed a few years ago!
It's too bad Dreamworks fired their stereo team and then outsourced it as a conversion to india instead of just rendering the second eye... Their last true film with all the original teams was Boss Baby 2 as far as I can tell 😢
This "broke" CGI in the same way people keep pretending so and so "broke" the internet. All this to say, while the tech is impressive and it's great work, they didn't invent anything. Artists have been experimenting with these techniques for years and have arguably come up with even better results, just not at the scale of a blockbuster feature film (although I would argue that Spiderverse and The Peanuts Movie were even more groundbreaking in many aspects when it comes to incorporating 2D into 3D animated films).
He must be altogether leaving out ATSV, which was much more ambitious regarding the amount of 2d interaction, integration into storytelling, and the number of styles. This film doesn't need to have done the most to be effective and amazing its own right.
Well a lot of films are also tech demos for companies to experiment with stuff they want to further explore. Dreamworks was already leading up to stuff like this and Disney and Pixar do similar stuff with their films to find new things to do
The Last Wish is how I, back in the 90s when Reboot and Beastwars came out, imagined proper "computer animated" movies should look. It has that cartoony feel of the great cartoons of the 90s (X-Men, Gargoyles, etc.) while being very clearly computer made. It is, for me, the best of both worlds, and I hope to see other movies like this one come out of Dreamworks in the future. Right now, with this "painting style", they are the new Pixar.
Last wish and Now Wild Robot - are the reason Dreamworks is doing so well, but of course they have decided to throw their hand in with live_action remakes - so ... idk - it seems like swing and a miss.
I suppose the difference between this movie and "Into the Spider-Verse" is that Sony animation had artists actually digitally drawing/painting over its stylized animation to give it the comic book feel, while everything in Puss in Boots was completely done via the render?
I haven’t seen this film but I think I need to now. 💜 I really loved the painterly quality that El Guiri Studios created in the season 2 episode of Star Wars Visions: Sith. If you haven’t seen it; it’s really pretty.
I think a great third sequel of this could be about puss still having one life left and death is still hunting him down so puss gets a preserve formula and preserves his body eventually he wakes up in 2024 and has to live with modern tech but he has to face his family members that aren't around anymore and he has to understand the true meaning of death and sadness and hurt eventually he finds out death is still alive and puss is stuck eventually puss needs to find the sacred holy blade to kill evil and it leads him into a huge journey to find this blade and kill death,
I watched this movie earlier this week and it was great, both in story and visual style Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse also has great visuals, and they did a lot of manipulation with a 3d engine Love Death and Robots - Jibaro (S03E09) has some amazing visuals. The feel of moving through a matte paining and being 3d at the same time
Great breakdown!! Later films like the Spiderverse movies pushed it further. Also, the selectively frame rate drops helped a lot to give this one a more 2D animation look;)
Pretty funny how the timing worked out, Blender just release the rendering showcase of their next short film and it also is trying to break away from pure 3d and go for a more stylize 2d look. and for a small team on a small budget they did super well
this isn't a change in the norm it's a return to form, animation from its inception was constantly and aggressively innovative and its former leaders stagnated for a few decades
The other "artistic" style movies that come to mind are the Miles Morales Spiderverse movies, those being more comic art and less painted art. Still beautiful animation that breaks the mold.
The style of puss in boots is interesting but I would like to see how the process compares to movies like Spider verse ( who is clearly the one movie who made 2d/3d artstyle cool again)
@@MrStanFungi it definitely pushed some boundaries. before then, you weren’t really allowed to show blood in a kids movie, but dreamworks threw that out the window. you’re right abt the writing style though
I'm so happy to hear that! Honestly I've not posted in months because I've just been re-working this over and over again to get it "just right" 👀😅 So it's great to hear you enjoyed it, thank you for watching 😁

edit but that one was 2D animated
Tons of things did tbh. The Last Wish is just a good example, but nothing new.

Spiderman Into the Spiderverse was slept on, which is basically what turned movie production towards stylized animated films such as The Last Wish.
Fascinating way to create the paint splotching!

This is actually a good reference for actual artists, a look into figuring out how to create a painterly style of art

Would say The Wild Robot definitely upped the style up even more.. So no The Last Wish is definitely not the only/last movie to pull this off.
Dude what a video! Thanks!
In case yall are wondering, arcane was a little similar to this. But it did not have the non-linear edges to make the complete painting look.
Its so unprofessional to not mention spidermans movies, arcane and others who developed cartoon style much earlier

The Wild Robot also has a very painted art style really nice
Although it is different
There's this movie called Mune: Guardian of the Moon, from 2014
Betterhelp? seriously?
This movie reminds me of the way some anime is animated, they definitely were inspired by Attack on Titan for the giant scene
This only goes to show that putting in effort weilds results
I suppose the difference between this movie and "Into the Spider-Verse" is that Sony animation had artists actually digitally drawing/painting over its stylized animation to give it the comic book feel, while everything in Puss in Boots was completely done via the render?

I really loved the painterly quality that El Guiri Studios created in the season 2 episode of Star Wars Visions: Sith. If you haven’t seen it; it’s really pretty.
I think a great third sequel of this could be about puss still having one life left and death is still hunting him down so puss gets a preserve formula and preserves his body eventually he wakes up in 2024 and has to live with modern tech but he has to face his family members that aren't around anymore and he has to understand the true meaning of death and sadness and hurt eventually he finds out death is still alive and puss is stuck eventually puss needs to find the sacred holy blade to kill evil and it leads him into a huge journey to find this blade and kill death,
The artistic choice is one of the things that make this movie a masterpeice. very well done film and a very cleverly chose directional style
I watched this movie earlier this week and it was great, both in story and visual style
Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse also has great visuals, and they did a lot of manipulation with a 3d engine
Love Death and Robots - Jibaro (S03E09) has some amazing visuals. The feel of moving through a matte paining and being 3d at the same time
welcome to the skrek verse
Great breakdown!! Later films like the Spiderverse movies pushed it further. Also, the selectively frame rate drops helped a lot to give this one a more 2D animation look;)
A very cool thing is how they made the puss and boots as well as the banger the wild robot
Pretty funny how the timing worked out, Blender just release the rendering showcase of their next short film and it also is trying to break away from pure 3d and go for a more stylize 2d look. and for a small team on a small budget they did super well
Never thought you would talk about a cartoon film. Nice work!
spiderman into the spiderverse , how they went for the comic drawn style and combining it with making it 3D
this isn't a change in the norm it's a return to form, animation from its inception was constantly and aggressively innovative and its former leaders stagnated for a few decades
Can you make one about Wild Robot
The people behind Berserk(2016) need to see this. 😅
Love this
The Wild Robot
Wait, the backgrounds used polygons?? I thought they were laying 2D images! Amazing!
Man, i really hope the new Shrek movie uses this style!
The other "artistic" style movies that come to mind are the Miles Morales Spiderverse movies, those being more comic art and less painted art. Still beautiful animation that breaks the mold.
Into the Spiderverse had a CGI art style that would be a great compare/contrast with this.
The style of puss in boots is interesting but I would like to see how the process compares to movies like Spider verse ( who is clearly the one movie who made 2d/3d artstyle cool again)
Wait till he hears abt the wild robot
I thought the spider-verse movies were the 1st to show off this form of painted CGI art style.
amazing
Possibly “The Wild Robot”?
this movie almost escaped the kid's movie feeling
Most brain dead comment I’ve ever read. Almost? Fuck off
what kept it down to the kid’s movie level?
@@TylevGD Just some of the jokes, and writing. It's still a good movie, it just feels like it was kept from being the best it could've been
@@MrStanFungi it definitely pushed some boundaries. before then, you weren’t really allowed to show blood in a kids movie, but dreamworks threw that out the window. you’re right abt the writing style though
wasn't Arcane created in similarly unique style like a year before this one?
If you want to cover another CGI film, I really want to see how the HTTYD trilogy was made.
This video is balls.. Arcane did the 3d painting effect before puss in boots, You're forgetting TANGLED did it as well
To me it looked a lot like Fortiche's "Arcane" (2 seasons on Netflix)
I thought it said ‘how this film broke cg5’
During the film i see some erros, principally in shadow's
So... Blender's geometry nodes was the innovation? Did they use Blender?
I'm back for those Aries! - Waooo55
I prefer the faceless video
And the less frantic editing...... jfc.....
How did they fix CGI after they broke it with this movie?????
Probably with that rotten BetterHelp money
Can you Please make a video about how Arcane art style is so Beautiful
What about „Spider-Man: A new Universe“?
the first movies to ever do this is spiderman into the spider verse
This was fascinating.
I'm so happy to hear that! Honestly I've not posted in months because I've just been re-working this over and over again to get it "just right" 👀😅
So it's great to hear you enjoyed it, thank you for watching 😁
