“But we meshed so well together.
It’s nice to see that.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Had you ever done any animation/voiceover work before this?
Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) and Perrito (Harvey Guillén) in ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’.DreamWorks Animation
HARVEY GUILLEN:This is my first animated feature film.
But I didn’t get my hopes up.
And I was like, “What?!”
Dreamworks Animation
I just knew about the character.
This is the moment.
Yeah, this movie really is perfect to see during the holidays with loved ones.
Dreamworks Animation
I was surprised by how emotionally resonant it is.
I really resonated with the way that it all ends.
For me that really resonated, and I just keep thinking about that ever since we recorded that.

Now I stop a little bit more to smell the roses.
What else did you love about playing your character Perrito?
Like, “You know what?
I have a joke for you.
“Isn’t that hilarious?
I didn’t win the hide and seek game!”
In his mind, it’s just ignorance is a bliss or a blessing.
He’s a helper.
What else did you take away from the experience of playing Perrito?
No, I wish!
It was one of the things that I was looking forward to.
That’s an impressive feat.
[Laughs] That alone blows my mind.
I can’t bring myself to say it, but thank you for saying that.
She raised her voice the highest, screaming, “It’s him, it’s him!”
My sister recorded it and sent it to me, like, “Mom has no chill.
She doesn’t care there’s a theater full of people.
She’s just yelling, ‘That’s my son!'”
That’s so sweet, she’s so proud.
Yeah, I’m excited for her to see both [language] versions.
Honestly, this is my wish, that everyone sees the message of the story.
And I hope Perrito comes back again in the future.
I want to see him and Donkey interacting with each other.
That would be comedy gold.
Oh my gosh, yes.
You just put it out in the universe.
I didn’t even think about that until right now.
Donkey and Perrito, two sidekick friends who are comic reliefs, becoming buddies and going on an adventure?
You know what, anything’s possible in theShrekworld.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wishhits theaters Dec. 21.
