Amusing animated film about a loveable dog who wants to become a samurai to defend the weak.

A hard-on-his-luck hound Hank (Michael Cera) finds himself in a town full of cats who need 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 and surprising beginner must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. As Hank, a sympathetic and friendly dog with a head full of dreams about becoming a samurai, sets off in search of his destiny. The only problem... cats hate dogs. Prepare to crack up !. Next summer the fun rises in the east !. Underdog to Top Dog !. Time to mark some territory !. Excitement never ends !. Where else?This wacky Samurai spoof is packed with lots of silly laughters and great entertainment and fun. The film is an adaptation of Mel Brooks' classic Blazing Saddles in which Hank, a dog destined to become a samaruai, decides to defend the village of Kakamucho from an evil villain who wants Esatt to disappear. In fact, the movie lifts the script and various jokes from ¨Blazing Saddles¨ and puts a more family-friendly spin on them. With attractive voces from Michael Cera as Hank and Samuel L. Jackson as his trainer. Also starring Mel Brooks, George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, Kylie Kuioka, and Cathy Shim. Hank is a puppy with everything to lose in this city dominated by cats where his presence is not welcomed. The film moves from the American West to feudal Japan, turning Mel Brooks' original Western into an animated samurai movie. And taking lines and plots from other stories as "History of the World Part 1", ¨Men in Tights¨, ¨Karate Kid¨, ¨The good , the bad and the Ugly¨ and Samurai movies as ¨Yojimbo¨ or ¨Seven samurai¨. This is a tribute to Japanese culture that goes back in its setting to the classics of the filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, as well as the Spaghetti subgenre. Turning out to be an animated situation comedy that bases its humor on the clichés of cats and dogs, while making numerous nods to the great classics of cinema and using different animation techniques to tell this fun story.It displays a lively and enjoyable score by Bear McCreary. Produced by the incombustible Mel Brooks and written by Mel himself along with Nate Hopper, Norman Steinberg, Andrew Bergman, being efficiently directed by Chris Bailey, Mark Koetsier, Rob Minkoff. The latter , Rob Minkoff, is a successful filmmaker with several hits, such as: The Lion King, Haunted mansion, The Forbidden Kingdom, Stuart Little I and II, Adventures of Peabody and Sherman, Flypaper and Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank(2022). Rating: 6.5/10. Well worth watching.

Worth a watch

It's a alright family film, few adult jokes in it as well. It's not the best kids film but worth a watch with the kids. My daughter was laughing throughout. Could of been better though. So wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.
