Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
2022 · Movie · PG · 94 min · ★ 6.6 · 50% critics
A down-on-his-luck dog lands in a cat-filled town that needs a defender against a ruthless villain’s plan to erase their home. With guidance from a reluctant mentor, the underdog trains as a samurai and rallies the villagers, mixing action, broad comedy, and a message about prejudice and acceptance.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, silly animated adventure with lots of jokes for both kids and adults, similar in spirit to Rock Dog or PAW Patrol: The Movie; Not for you if forced humor or toilet jokes bother you.
Pros: laugh-out-loud moments; energetic family adventure; playful fourth-wall jokes | Cons: forced humor at times; predictable story beats; some inappropriate gags
