Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is an action comedy animation film. The movie is a loose adaptation of Mel Brook’s 1974 film Blazing Saddles.
The plot follows a hard-on-his-luck hound Hank who finds himself in a town full of cats looking for a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain’s (Ricky Gervais) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher (Samuel L. Jackson) to train him, our underdog must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem… cats hate dogs.
The ensemble movie features comedy stars Ricky Gervais, Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, Mel Brooks, and Gabriel Iglesias, among others.
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is now showing in theatres around the world.
