What you may need to know.
1. A glimpse into Paramount’s new mammalian Samurai film and a preview of the film’s star Samuel L. Jackson‘s skills as a feline impersonator.
2. Paws of Fury tells the story of a down-and-out dog named Hank, voiced by Michael Cera, who finds himself in a town filled with cats. In need of guidance, Hank comes across a famous but reclusive Samurai instructor, voiced by Jackson, who will teach him what it takes to be a Samurai.
3. And just in time, as the town of cats is soon threatened by a villain (voiced by Ricky Gervais), who hopes to wipe the small town off the map entirely.
4. Hank will have to sharpen his fighting skills and learn to work with his feline neighbors to fight off the impending threat. One hitch, however — cats hate dogs, Hank included.
4. In addition to Cera, Jackson, and Gervais, The Legend of Hank includes voice work from Mel Brooks, whose flatulent classic Blazing Saddles (1974) is referenced, Star Trek alum George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s Michelle Yeoh, Kylie Kuioka, and Cathy Shim.
5. Memorable Jackson quote: “What the mother father cocker spaniel is going on here?!”

Five men, one woman. Okay.
It’s like that daytime talk show… all women, so sexist
That one and only show with all women that you can think of?
Sure that’s proportional.
The attack of the perpetually offended.
How do you feel about trans women in competitive sport?
Ad hominem and red herring, will we get a bingo sheet for a full set of logical fallacies? In short, films should cast more women and fewer men. Even animated ones.
Legit question
And sidestepped.
Women appear plenty in films.
Kung Fu Pandog?
Five cats, one dog. Okay.
Comparing actors to fictional animals seems legitimate to you?
