Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is an upcoming CGI animated film directed by Rob Minkoff and Mark Koetsier and is set to be released on July 15, 2022 by Paramount Pictures in conjunction with Nickelodeon Movies in the US and some regions.The film is intended to be a homage to Mel Brooks' 1974 Western Comedy film Blazing Saddles (and was initially titled Blazing Samurai). Hank (Michael Cera), a dog who wishes to become a samurai, stumbles upon a strange land known as Kakamucho, which is inhabited entirely by cats. He comes across Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais), an evil warlord who helps Hank become a samurai by placing him under the care of Jimbo (Samuel L. Jackson), who was once a great samurai himself. Jimbo reluctantly agrees to train him, and eventually, Hank must save Kakamucho from Ika Chu in order to discover what it means to become a true samurai.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film also stars George Takei as Ohga, Gabriel Iglesias as Chuck and Michelle Yeoh as Yuki.Originally set to be produced by Mass Animation, a company which started as a Facebook crowdsource initiative, the film, after years of Development Hell, switched hands to Aniventure.Previews: Trailer.Not to be confused with Brutal: Paws of Fury (that also features martial-arts-practicing anthropomorphic animals in a vintage East-Asian setting). Also has nothing to do with Jibanyan.

Visual Pun: Early promotional material featured its tagline "Prepare to Crack Up", accompanied by an image of Sumo's butt.

Gentle Giant: Again, Sumo. Although he is a wrestler, he's also described as being a "prawn in the sea of life".

Cats Are Mean: Played straight with Ika Chu, who is the villain of the film, but averted with the other cat characters in the film.

Meaningful Name: Some more obvious than the last. Sumo is a sumo wrestler. Shogun is the leader of Kakamucho. Shoguns were military dictators who once served as the de facto leaders of Japan until 1867, when feudalism was abolished.

comment
Covers Always Lie: A minor example, but the first promo poster for the film featured Sumo (from his backside, no less) and only Sumo, giving the impression that he's the main character when it's actually a dog named Hank.

comment
Homage: Again, the film was inspired by the 1974 Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles. Brooks himself even voices a character in the film (Shogun). There are also various allusions to the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa. The town of Kakamucho is a pun on Kagemusha, and Jimbo's name is a reference to Yojimbo.

Aerith and Bob: Played with, since the names in question are mostly real-life ones. You got American sounding names like Hank, Jimbo and Chuck alongside Japanese names like Ika Chu, Sumo, Shogun, Emiko, and Ohga.

Shout-Out: Ika Chu's name sounds suspiciously like Pikachu. In one of the film's early posters, Sumo's loincloth has a picture of Hello Kitty on it.
