NOTE: This page is about Big Jack Horner's novelization counterpart, as his movie counterpart was not voted Pure Evil, therefore only Big Jack Horner's novelization counterpart's information and crimes should be included here.

What a bad boy am I!
~ "Robbin' Big" Jack Horner.

"Robbin' Big" Jack Horner is the main antagonist of the novelization of the DreamWorks film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, written by Cala Spinner.

He is the novel's counterpart of Big Jack Horner.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • Unlike in the movie, which projects Jack's wish of stealing all magic in an exaggerated manner, the wish is projected to have far more serious consequences. It is explicitly stated that the magic that he wishes to steal is actually the life force of all of the fairytale creatures. It is projected that when Puss and Kitty have all of their magic sucked out, they will wither away and turn into normal cats.
  • He expressed no remorse for the deaths of any of his henchmen, believing that all he needs are all of the magic items that he had hoarded in his bag.
  • In place of the infamous bridge scene from the original, Jack and his remaining henchmen are instead trodding through a murky swamp in the Dark Forest. There, he whips his men and his unicorns repeatedly as they struggle to navigate around.
  • Unlike his movie counterpart, where his heinousness was the subject of many jokes, this version of Jack lacks those comedic moments, and all of the crimes he commits are taken completely seriously.

Trivia[]

  • Most of "Robbin' Big" Jack Horner's actions were originally written for his film version in the early drafts of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish screenplay. However, once John Mulaney was cast, he suggested playing the role with Jack Horner as a childish, insecure villain whose heinousness could provide tons of dark comedy, leading the filmmakers to drastically change Jack's characterization into a funnier one with fewer serious moments. If this had never happened, the original Jack would've been Pure Evil too.
