"Big" Jack Horner is one of the antagonists in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and his character is based on a real nursery rhyme with an ominous meaning. When the fearless feline hero finds out that he's down to one last life, Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) can't believe that his life of risk-taking adventures is over. Then he discovers a map to the Wishing Star, a mystical artifact with the ability to grant its possessor any wish they want, including the full restoration of his nine lives.
