Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank arrives in theaters on Friday, July 15.
Relentlessly committed to the bit, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, for all intents and purposes, is a Mel Brooks movie. Not an actual one, written and directed by comedy legend Brooks, but one that emulates Brooks' style, tone, and gags while also referencing Brooks' own movies. To clarify, Brooks himself is involved with Paws of Fury, as the voice of the Shogun, and the movie itself is more or less a reworked version of Blazing Saddles (it was even titled Blazing Samurai at one point in its development), so this is the closest thing you'll get to an actual Mel Brooks film here in 2022, for better or worse.
Paws of Fury is a touch clumsy, a bit hacky, and not exactly an animated treat for the eyes. The story is tired and many of the jokes fall flat. All that aside, it's still good for a chuckle or two if not only because Mel Brooks' entire M.O. is to throw a hundred jokes at the wall in the hope 30 of them will stick. So the humor here, in this simple story of a hapless dog, Hank (Michael Cera), being made the protector of a cat village, is literally forced through the lens of Brooks as if every potential guffaw was born of a "What would Mel do?" philosophy.

Even the racism Bart encounters in Blazing Saddles as a Black sheriff is handled here, masked behind the cats' presumed hatred of dogs. Throw in an homage to the iconic fart scene and there's not much of Blazing Saddles that doesn't get reconfigured in this ridiculous reskin.
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is a crass cyclone of jokes and japes that lovingly (also strangely) presents itself as a Mel Brooks movie remake, with Brooks' blessing and participation. This unique quality helps distinguish the project, even though the gags will elicit more eye-rolls than laughs. It's the kind of film where most celebrity voicer...
