Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank

[Heroine of the Dragon]

Will you be seeing this film?

In a land inspired by feudal Japan and entirely inhabited by cats, Ika Chu, a conniving high ranking official of the land's Shogun, desires to expand his giant palace. However, it resides right next to the impoverished village of Kakamucho. Hoping to get rid of it, Ika Chu plans to force Kakamucho's residents to abandon their town by sending a gang of thugs led by his second-in-hand Ohga to trash the town. The townspeople demand that the Shogun appoint a new samurai to protect them after the previous one flees. Ika Chu, hoping to offend the townspeople, decides to appoint Hank, a dog prisoner about to be executed, as Kakamucho's samurai.

After an initial hostile reception, Hank relies on the assistance of Jimbo, a catnip-addled samurai who reluctantly agrees to train him, in order to overcome the townspeople's hostility. While training with Jimbo, Hank manages to subdue Sumo, an immensely strong, dim-witted, yet philosophical henchman that Ika Chu sent to drive out the townspeople quicker. The townspeople see Hank as a hero, but his newfound popularity ends up going to Hank's head, and he neglects his training, which causes a fallout between him and Jimbo. Ika Chu takes Hank to a private nightclub, in order to distract him as his thugs trash Kakamucho. Hank returns to a devastated town and, after a heated argument with Jimbo, he decides to go home, but an origami figure of himself reminds him of his samurai oath.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Seems cute, but I probably won't see it.

...I guess I'm morbidly curious to see how it turned out. Probably not enough to pay money for it.

I don't really see the point in making a dippy corners-sanded-off family-friendly CGI version of 'Blazing Saddles'. Like, if you think the kids are ready to watch 'Blazing Saddles', show them actual 'Blazing Saddles'. And if you don't think they're ready...that's fine, too. It's perfectly acceptible to keep some things on the shelf temporarily. The kids are going to study Shakespeare in high school------------in the meantime, they're not going to gain an appreciation for Shakespeare from dancing CGI garden gnomes.
