‘Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank’ is an action-packed animated comedy for all the family inspired by Mel Brooks’ timeless classic, ‘Blazing Saddles’. Hank (Cera), a scrappy dreamer of a dog, aspires to one day be a bonafide Samurai. But in a world of cats, he’s not sure it’ll ever happen – that is until the nefarious warlord, Ika Chu (Gervais), hustles the unwitting Hank into becoming the samurai for the town of Kakamucho; the same town Ika Chu intends to pillage.
The film is directed by Rob Minkoff (‘The Lion King’) and Mark Koetsier (‘How To Train Your Dragon’), and written by Nate Hopper (‘The Grinch’).
‘Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank’ is an Aniventure, GFM Animation, HB Wink, Cinesite and Align production, produced by Adam Nagle, Peter Nagle, Guy Collins, Mel Brooks, Yair Landau and Susan Purcell.
